  • Southern Squash Casserole

    Southern Squash Casserole

    3 lb yellow squash, sliced ½ C diced Vidalia onion, optional 10.5 oz can cream of chicken soup 1 C mayonnaise 1 egg 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese 1 tsp salt ½ tsp fresh ground black pepper TOPPING 2 sleeves of Ritz crackers, crushed 1 stick melted butter Preheat oven to 350°F. Wash and slice squash into small medallions or dice into smaller pieces if the squash is large. I prefer smaller sized squash since it is tender. Put squash into a large bowl for mixing with the filling. In a separate bowl, mix together the soup, mayo, eggs, cheese, onions, salt, and pepper.Pour over squash.Stir until well mixed.Then pour into a casserole dish for baking. Crush crackers while in "tubes" (I usually wrap them in a dish towel to avoid a mess, and use a rolling pin or meat tenderizer) or place in a resealable plastic bag. Pour crushed crackers into a bowl. Melt butter in the microwave and stir into crackers until moist. Drizzle on top of casserole. Bake at 350°F until bubbly and brown on top (usually 45-50 minutes). Bake for 30 minutes covered. with foil to help prevent crackers from burning. Then uncover and bake an additional 20 minutes until golden brown on top.

  • Manwich Casserole

    Manwich Casserole

    Ingredients Note: This recipe can be made using half of the beef and sloppy joe sauce but still with the same amount of crust and in a 9x13 pan with no loss of deliciousness. • 1-2 pounds ground beef cooked and drained • 1-2 14.5 oz cans sloppy joe sauce I only use Manwich when it comes to buying it pre made. I normally like generics but find generic sloppy joe sauce to be really bad. • 1 cup french fried onions • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese mild, sharp, whatever you like • 1 cup all purpose flour • 1 cup milk • 2 eggs • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil • 1/2 teaspoon salt Instructions • In a large bowl, stir together ground beef, sloppy joe sauce, and french fried onions until well blended. • Spray the bottom of a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle half of the cheese on the bottom and top with the meat mixture, spreading to the sides. Top meat mixture with remaining cheese. • In medium bowl combine flour, milk, oil, eggs, and salt.

  • Mushroom Rice

    Mushroom Rice

    Ingredients 2 - 3 tbsp olive oil , separated 30 g / 2 tbsp butter 750 g / 1.5 lb mushrooms , sliced 3 - 5 mm / 1/8 - 1/5" thick (Note 1) 2 garlic cloves , minced 1 small onion , finely diced 1 1/2 cups long grain rice, uncooked (Note 2) 2 1/4 cups / 565 ml vegetable stock / broth (or chicken) (Note 3) 1 1/2 - 2 cups sliced green onion / scallions Optional: More butter to stir through Instructions Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pot over high heat. Add half the mushrooms, and cook for 5 minutes until golden. Season with salt and pepper then remove and set aside (we put these in at the end, mushrooms cooked in rice don't stay as golden). If the pot is dry, another 1/2 - 1 tbsp oil, and add butter. When melted, add onions and garlic. Cook for 30 seconds, then add remaining mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes or until mushrooms are lightly browned (they won't caramelise as well as the first batch) and the base of the pot is brown. Add rice and a splash of broth. Mix so the brown stuff on the bottom of the pot mixes into the liquid. (Video below helpful here) Once the base of the pot is clean, add remaining liquid. Place lid on, bring to a simmer then turn down to medium low. Cook for 15 minutes or until there is no residual liquid (tilt pot to check). Remove from stove, remove lid, QUICKLY toss in reserved mushrooms and scallions, put lid back on. Leave for 10 minutes (do not skip this step!). Fluff rice using a fork or wooden spoon. OPTIONAL: Stir through more butter. ?? Serve! Notes 1. Use any mushrooms you want, I used normal button mushrooms, it's even more mushroomy if you use Swiss Brown / Cremini mushrooms. Don't slice them too thin otherwise they literally disintegrate! Mushrooms do "suck up" oil but don't be tempted to add more oil until the end if needed. When raw, mushrooms suck up the oil, but then as they cook, release water and the oil, so this helps them brown towards the end. But if you do find they are looking dry, add just 1 tsp towards the end of browning. 2. Basmati and jasmine would also be great here, comes out nice and fluffy like long grain rice. I find that medium and short grain rice is a bit sticky for my taste when cooked pilaf style. Risotto rice, sushi rice and paella rice are not suitable. Please use uncooked rice. BROWN RICE: Follow recipe but use 2 1/2 cups liquid for tender, fluffy rice (or 2 3/4 cups for soft rice) and it will take around 45 minutes to cook on the stove (check at 35 minutes, then every 5 minutes until liquid is absorbed). QUIONA: This will also work with quinoa but adjust the recipe as follows: rinse quinoa, use 3 cups of liquid (I would prob do 2 cups broth, 1 cup water), follow recipe but cook for 20 minutes. 3. The amount of liquid to rice ratio I use yields a tender just cooked rice that is fluffy. If you like your rice on the soft side, use 1/2 cup extra liquid but note that the rice will be stickier rather than fluffy like what you see in the video and photos. 4. SERVES: Makes around 7 cups of rice (packed) which will serve 8 as a side or 4 as a main. YES it's a lot but it will keep well in the fridge for a few days and it freezes well too! 5. Nutrition per serving, assuming 8 servings.

  • Pizza Casserole

    Pizza Casserole

    Ingredients: ■ 500g (16 oz.) Rigatoni Pasta, cooked & drained ■ 500g (16 oz.) ground beef ■ 1 onion, diced ■ 1 red bell pepper, diced ■ 800g (28 oz.) pizza sauce ■ 100g (3.5 oz.) pepperoni, chopped ■ 4 cups mozzarella cheese Instructions: 1. In a skillet, cook the onion, ground beef, and pepperoni until browned. Drain off any excess fluid. Lastly, mix in the pizza sauce, diced bell pepper & put to the side. 2. Next, in a slow cooker, add a little bit of meat sauce to the bottom and then layer in the following order. Pasta, pizza sauce, cheese & then repeat until you run out of the meat sauce. Finish off with some mozzarella on top. 3. Cook on low for 6 hours. Cooking Tips: ■ You’re able to skip the browning of the ground beef but it will add quite a bit more greasy fluid to the dish. I always recommend browning the ground beef before adding it to the slow cooker but it isn’t compulsory. ■ If you love your vegetables then don’t hesitate to add a few more into this dish. Carrot and mushrooms are two great vegetables that work great in a pizza casserole. ■ You’re able to swap the ground beef for some sliced Italian sausages or something similar. You will also find that ground pork, or chicken will also work great.

    Ingredients 2 cups peeled and sliced ripe tomatoes (from 3 to 4 tomatoes) Sea salt 1 (9-inch) pie crust, refrigerated or frozen and thawed 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/2 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives Freshly ground black pepper Instructions Place the tomato slices on paper towels and sprinkle both sides with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Let sit for 1 hour. Place a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 400 degrees. Transfer the crust to a 9-inch pie pan. Press the crust into the pan and trim off excess crust. Use your fingers to crimp the edges of the crust in a decorative pattern. Using a fork, prick the bottom of the crust a few times. Bake until very lightly brown, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the cheddar cheese, Parmesan, mayonnaise, basil and chives. Season to taste with a little salt and pepper. When the crust has lightly browned, transfer it to a cooling rack and let it cool for 15 minutes. Place the drained tomato slices in the bottom of the crust. Spread the cheese and mayonnaise mixture over the top. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve. This recipe was provided by Anne Byrn.

  • Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls

    Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rolls

    Ingredients 9 lasagna noodles 2 ½ cups Alfredo sauce (optional homemade recipe below) 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken oregano garlic salt 3 cups shredded Mozzarella, or cheese of your choice How to make it : Spray an 8×8 pan with non-stick spray and pour ½ cup Alfredo sauce, or just enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Boil 8-10 cups water in a large pan, cook lasagna noodles until al dente. (I usually cook 1 or 2 extra just because lasagna noodles always seem to break on me when I am stirring them.) Now this is the important part! Drain and rinse the noodles with cold water to prevent them from sticking to each other. Then, lay out each noodle individually and blot dry with a paper towel. Spread about 2 Tbs. Alfredo sauce over each noodle. (if there is too much sauce you will have a big mess on your hands!) Sprinkle oregano and garlic salt on top of sauce. Take 1/9 of the shredded chicken and spread it out evenly over each noodle. Add approx. 3 Tbs. cheese. To roll up, start at one end and roll the noodle over the toppings. You will need to lift the noodle a little to prevent squishing out the inside ingredients while rolling. Place the roll-ups in the pan, one by one, seam-side down so they don’t come undone. Once they are all in the pan, pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the top. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted on top. The Best Garlic Alfredo Sauce ½ cup butter 2 ounces cream cheese 2 cups heavy cream (or substitute half and half) 2 teaspoon garlic powder ½ tsp. fresh minced garlic salt and freshly ground black pepper ½ tsp dried oregano cup Parmesan cheese In a medium to large saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Add fresh minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the cream cheese and whisk to smooth and melted. Whisk in the heavy cream. Season with the garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and whisk frequently until sauce thickens, around 15 minutes. Stir in the cheese and when melted, remove from heat and serve.
