Sautéed homemade pierogi for dinner.

I don’t have the exact amount of ingredients for this meal .

It’s never wrong to season with generous amounts of seasoning for flavor.

I use salted butter and extra virgin olive oil. Organic cherry tomatoes cut in half.   I added after I sautéed the garlic and onion.

I did add a generous amount of dried parsley while sauting. Garlic and onion of course!

Enjoy!

Cheeseburger casserole

This was a delicious casserole.  I do it my way again but might use sharp cheese instead of mild but it really was fabulous my way.  I couldn’t stop eating it. lol

***New recipe that I cut in half. I eliminated the Italian seasoning because I didn’t think a cheeseburger would be seasoned with that ingredient.  

I used one 15 oz. Petite tomatoes plus added enough water from drained tomatoes to equal 2 cups.  1 onion sliced, 1 garlic minced, 1 small yellow pepper and used 1/2 tsp.Of salt and one (1)cup

Of elbow macaroni .I didn’t see salt in recipe so do as you please.

I halved the rest of the seasonings.  I only had mild cheddar and I was generous layering the casserole with it. Enjoy!

Aso NOTE: adjust cooking time.  Once I covered the casserole and baked for 30 minutes the pasta was cooked so I didn’t have to bake it any longer.

Here is the recipe as it was posted.

• cooking spray

• ½ pound ground beef

• 2 medium onions, chopped

• 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with herbs, undrained

• ½ cup water, or as needed (Optional)

• 2 cups elbow macaroni

• 1 cup frozen corn

• 1 green bell pepper, chopped

• 2 tablespoons minced garlic

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon chili powder

  1/2 tsp. Salt

  Lots of pepper 

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (I eliminated)

• ground black pepper to taste

• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.

1. Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and onions in the hot pan until beef is browned and crumbly and onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off fat.

2. Drain liquid from canned tomatoes into a 4-cup liquid measure; add water if needed, to make 2 1/2 cups liquid. Add juice, tomatoes, macaroni, corn, bell pepper, garlic, soy sauce, chili powder, Italian seasoning, and pepper to the beef mixture; bring to a boil.

3. Pour 1/2 of the beef mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle 1 cup cheese over top. Repeat beef and cheese layers once more. Cover the dish and place it onto a cookie sheet.

4. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, about 15 minutes.

5. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Eye round roast

 

 

I have been making my roast beef this way forever! It is perfection, IF you heed these basic tips: No other cut of meat will produce a REAL roast beef, but the eye roast!...Every oven is different, so know your ovens well. A three pound roast will cook faster in a new oven than it would in a twenty year old oven...

INVEST IN A MEAT THERMOMETER, this is the best thing you can have when roasting a beef...Be mindful that when a roast comes out of the oven it will cook in its own heat and the temp will rise. Not everyone likes a bloody roast. WE Don't.  I take mine out at 130, let it stand and it is about 135-140 when time to cut...If it is still too rare place back in oven until desired color of roast is medium well. Slight pink no red.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT TIP: BEFORE COOKING LET YOUR ROAST SIT OUT ON THE COUNTER UNTIL IT REACHES ROOM TEMP. IT WILL MAKE FOR EVEN COOKING. So, there you have it, my advice to all of you bad reviewers. Roasting a beef is not an exact science nor are the cooking times exact...keep trying! This is the best roast beef!

Good Luck!

  1 1/4 lb. London broil ( round steak)

  Score on each side (I went a little too deep with my scoring).  Pour marinade over roast and turn over making sure to get the marinade into all areas. Place in refrigerator covered and turn occasionally over several hours to marinate well for the ultimate juices to blend.

  Broiled on lower rack on HIGH 7 minutes then turn over for another 7 minutes.

    Personally Al enjoyed it medium well but I put mine back in oven for 5 minutes more.

Rest for 2 minutes and slice at an angle very thin.
