When I hear someone is a “meat and potatoes” kind of person, I first think of beef. Whether it’s a hearty stew or pot roast, these recipes are the beefiest!
What could be more satisfying than tender nuggets of beef, drenched in a rich, thick gravy, served over egg noodles or mashed potatoes? I recently came across a package of beef stew meat that needed to be cooked up, but I didn’t want stew or goulash. So, I visited one of my favorite recipe sites […]
There’s nothing that warms the heart more than a good old Southern dish known as Chicken Fried Steak & Gravy. Don’t let the name fool ya! There’s no chicken in this dish.

Years ago I was at a friends house and her neighbor brought over some zucchini, fresh from his garden. Jeanne was so excited because she couldn’t decide what to make for dinner that evening with the ground beef she had defrosted. She immediately started making the meat sauce and the aroma was tantalizing. When the […]
Rich, thick spaghetti sauce, chock full of meat and just the right amount of seasonings, slowly simmered for full flavor.You can add more spices or herbs to suit your taste. I sometimes substitute port wine for 1/2 of the water. 1 Whenever I make this sauce, I double the recipe and freeze it in portion […]
Looking for a quick , delicious dinner option? How about a skillet full of sloppy joes? This recipe uses ingredients that are most likely in your cupboards and the flavor is tops. Add a handful of potato chips and dinner is served.
Sometimes you just have a taste for a big old bowl of chili, but you don’t have all day to simmer a big old kettle full. This quick version “hits the spot” and it’s ready to eat in approximately 45 minutes. It’s a good, basic recipe that is tasty “as is”, but feel free to […]
