My old friend Maureen shared this recipe with me many years ago. It is a delicious dish made in a slow cooker. The original recipe called for GOLDEN cream of mushroom soup, but I don’t care for the robust flavor, so I use regular cream of mushroom soup. The choice is yours. Either way, this […]
Main Dish – Beef
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!
Korean Ground Beef
This simple to make dish is bursting with flavor. It’s great “as is” or get creative and add chopped water chestnuts, sesame seeds, snow peas, edame beans, bean sprouts or whatever your family enjoys. I serve this over rice, but it is also good wrapped in a lettuce leaf .
Italian Beef
This Chicago style Italian Beef is so full of flavor, with just the right amount of spices. This recipe was given to me by the sweetest Italian lady, Linda M., who is up heaven , probably making a big pot of this for her folks at this very minute. You will need a meat slicer […]
Salisbury Steak (Instant Pot)
Another tasty recipe I came across is this flavorful, tender salisbury steak, buried in cremmi mushrooms and gravy, made in your instant pot.
Hungarian Goulash
I have a cute story to share about this recipe. Shortly after my mother passed away, I was looking for some different kinds of meals to cook for my Dad and siblings. My eldest sister Marge, who was already married, lent me her cookbook and that’s where I found this recipe. It sounded good, so […]
Stuffed Cabbage Rolls (Golumpki)
( Thanks to my sister Joan for sharing this yummy-licious stuffed cabbage roll recipe with me. Talk about a “comfort food”, this one is it. I stuff each cabbage leaf with approximately 1/3 cup of the meat mixture. I like to serve it the cabbage rolls with mashed or boiled potatoes. This recipe makes 15-16 […]
Five Hour Stew
Back when my children were young, I used to clean houses for a living. Sometimes, when I arrived to their homes and I would be hit with a most tantalizing aroma when I reached the kitchen. Of course I would inquire what it was and would ask for the recipe. This is one of those […]
Chop Suey
Years ago, I would clean houses to help support my children. Often, my clients would be cooking when I arrived. If it smelled good, I would ask for the recipe. This recipe came from one of my customers, a dear, sweet lady, Mrs.Vick. It may not be authentic Chinese, but it sure is tasty. It […]
Cheeseburger Pie
I came across this recipe years ago on the back of a box of Bisquick and it quickly became a family favorite. It’s a “no fail” recipe, that you can switch around ingredients to suit your families taste. For example, you can swap the cheddar to Monterey Jack, add some chopped jalapeno peppers or add […]
Black Bean Taco Casserole
This tasty dish, shared at a pot luck luncheon, was the talk of the lunchroom. Everyone, including me, requested the recipe. Thanks to Monica, this is now in my “easy dinners” recipe file. It goes great with a side of Guacamole, tortilla chips and a dollop of sour cream.
