This casserole can be made with breakfast sausage, Italian sausage or fresh Polish sausage. It is simple, yet satisfying. There are no spices added as the casserole picks up the spices from the sausage. You can add spices or other ingredients, such as onions, to suit your family’s tastes.
Dinner
Salmon Gruyere Quiche
I had leftover grilled salmon , so I searched for a recipe that calls for cooked salmon. I found this one which I tweaked a little and my family loved it. I chose to not make a crust but it would be good with a crust as well.
Rosemary Braised Lamb Shanks
These succulent, tender lamb shanks are simmered in garlic, tomatoes, wine, and herbs . They are the epitome of flavor.
Rigatoni D
There’s an Italian restaurant chain in that serves a pasta dish called Rigatoni D. It has chicken and mushrooms and a creamy sauce to die for. I found this copycat recipe on the web several years ago, made a change or two and it’s almost as good as the restaurants version If I wasn’t so […]
Quick Chili
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 […]
The Perfect Pork Chop
Pork chops were never at the top of my “favorites” list. I imagine that’s because when I was a little girl (many, many years ago), folks cooked the chops so long they resembled hockey pucks, because they were afraid of getting infected with tapeworms. Well, now we have meat thermometers to make sure meat is […]
Pork Carnitas
After spending the day in a slow cooker, this succulent pork will tantalize your taste buds with its spicy blend of flavors. You can serve this on tortillas with your favorite toppings . My favorite way to enjoy this is to spread the meat over tortilla chips, covered with cheese and pop it under the […]
Green Chili Verde
Tender pork, simmered to perfection, in a sauce made from roasted peppers, garlic, tomatillos, onions and spices. Wrap it up in a tortilla with a side of refried beans for a “south of the border” treat.
Pinto Bean Soup
Hands down, my sister Joan makes the best pinto bean soup I have ever tasted, and here is her recipe. It’s got chunks of ham and tomatoes and just the right amount of “spunk”. We like to serve it with a big old hunk of corn bread.
Pierogi
Years ago one of my customers, Geri P., shared her Polish Grandma’s Pierogi recipe with me. While I do have another similar recipe on this site, I want to include this one which has sour cream in it (the other recipe does not). I had a perogi “cook off” with a handful of friends, and […]
