Skinny Chicken Sour Cream Enchiladas

by Rebecca May 11, 2020
written by Rebecca

I love to eat but I don’t want to get fat! I know, it’s not easy. Good thing this recipe is guilt-free and will not have me worrying about the scales! This chicken enchilada is a quick and easy meal to prepare. It’s creamy, cheesy, super delish, and fat-free! Another Mexican dish that I will surely keep in my recipe list. It is indeed a wonderful dish with a restaurant quality and definitely, not a belly buster.

INGREDIENTS

16 ounces of fat-free sour cream

1 can fat-free cream of chicken soup

1 tablespoon of fresh chopped cilantro (1/2 Tbsp. dried)

2 1/2 cups of cooked shredded chicken breast

1 can Mexican Rotel

1 cup of chopped onions (optional)

8 low carb tortillas

1 cup of shredded pepper jack and Colby cheese blend

1 can dice green chiles

How to make Skinny Chicken Sour Cream Enchiladas

Step 1: Place the sour cream, soup, and cilantro in a saucepan. Mix and heat through. Make sure to keep stirring or else you’ll get a huge hot mess as the mixture will bubble up quickly. Then, set aside.

Step 2: Grease your pan with a cooking spray.

Step 3: Put the chicken, Rotel, onions, and green chiles in the prepared pan. Combine and heat until the onions were translucent. You can skip the onions (if desired). Without the onions, combine the mixture for a few minutes until the flavors and juices are blended.

Step 4: Put 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the tortillas.

Step 5: Roll the tortillas and place them seam side down (to make sure they will not unravel) in an 8 x 11-inch greased dish.

Step 6: Generously pour or spread the sour cream over the enchiladas and top with the remaining cheese. Place inside the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Step 7: Once baked, remove from the oven and serve. Enjoy!

ONE POT TACO SPAGHETTI

by Rebecca May 11, 2020
written by Rebecca

I love tacos and my boyfriend can finish 3 big bowls of spaghetti in one sitting! He loves spaghetti so much that whenever we eat out it is what he always wanted but every time I’m craving for tacos we without fail end up ordering spaghetti which is super unfair! That is why I fall hard for this recipe. No more unsatisfied cravings for me, and more spaghetti for my boyfriend. And this is very easy and quick to prepare. Just toss everything in one pot and when almost ready to serve, sprinkle the cheese and some cilantro on it. It’s gooey, undeniably delicious, comforting, and practical. Indeed a one-pot wonder with my favorite taco flavor in spaghetti form. Who can say no to this? Definitely, not me or my boyfriend. This recipe did not fail me. I sure am very satisfied (and my boyfriend of course!).

INGREDIENTS:

1 tablespoon of olive oil

1 pound ground beef*

1 (1.25-ounce) package taco seasoning

1 (10-ounce can) Ro*Tel® Mild Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies

1 Tbsp. tomato paste

8 ounces of spaghetti

1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

1 Roma tomato, diced

2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro leaves

HOW TO MAKE ONE POT TACO SPAGHETTI

Step 1: In a large stockpot or Dutch oven heat the olive over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 3-5 minutes or until browned. Crumble the beef while it cooks and stirs in the taco seasoning. Drain any accumulated fats.

Step 2: Mix the Ro*Tel®, tomato paste, spaghetti, and 3 cups water. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 13-16 minutes or until the pasta is cooked through.

Step 3: Once cooked, remove from heat and sprinkle with cheese. Cover the pot for 2 minutes so the cheese melts.

Step 4: Transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with tomato and cilantro before serving. Enjoy!

SWEDISH MEATBALLS RECIPE

by Rebecca May 10, 2020
written by Rebecca

The Great Swedish Meatballs with the most beautiful thick and fluffy gravy are smothered. The meatballs are full of wonderful flavor. You’ll quickly accept that these are the best you have got. And the sauce – you can’t miss the rich, delicious gravy sauce that the browned up meatball bits smother these meatballs in. Those pieces of meatball trapped at the bottom of the pan make the gravy what it is. I could almost drink it! Just make sure to make a little extra if you serve these over an egg noodle bed – you ‘re going to want a portion to slurp down.

Ingredients:

MEATBALLS

3 lb ground beef

1 white onion, diced

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 c seasoned dry bread crumbs

Grandma’s Pork Chops In Mushroom Gravy

by Rebecca May 10, 2020
written by Rebecca

This dinner is super easy and can be made in about 30 minutes in a skillet on your table. It is food for comfort and perfect for cooler weather. I don’t know about you, but once the weather turns a little chilly, I want all the comfort foods.

This is made entirely from scratch, without using condensed soup. But don’t allow that to scare you off making these chops. I promise that this dish isn’t so much harder to make than soup opening and it’s so much healthier and more tasteful. It’s a massive flavor that makes the use of real ingredients (this’s the secret!) and so it goes to the sauce with all the taste that comes with the same pan.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter

1 clove garlic, pressed

6 pork chops

salt and pepper to taste

1 (8 oz) can mushroom, drained

1 cup dry sherry

1 (10.5 oz) can beef broth

2 tbsp cornstarch

2 tbsp water

Directions:

Preheat oven at about 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Melt the butter over moderate heat in a large skillet. Add the garlic, saute until it is fragrant. Coat the pork chops with salt and pepper, then fry them in the skillet until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes. Shift the pork chops to a Dutch oven or baking pan.

Pour the mushrooms with the pork drippings and garlic into the skillet, then whisk in the sherry and beef broth, removing any bits of pork stuck to the plate. Bring to boil, then pour into the baking pan over the pork chops. Cover with an aluminum foil, or a lid.

Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, then cut the deck or foil and bake for another 15 minutes. Take the cakes from the pot and put the platter over medium heat on the stove. Mix the corn starch and water. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook, approx. 2 minutes, until the juices in the pan boil. Spread sauce and serve over the chops.

Easy Ranch Potatoes Recipe

by Rebecca May 9, 2020
written by Rebecca

Tired of eating potatoes the conventional way? Instead of having french fries why not take it to the next level? This recipe is pretty easy to make and unlike your regular potato fries, it is by far the quickest do-over to love potatoes even more! This is an awesome way to spice up your dinner routine (I know because my kids love this dish so much they can finish one big serving in one sitting). It’s creamy, cheesy and without a doubt mouthwatering. All you got to do is chopped those potatoes and smothered them in a creamy ranch sauce and top them with bacon and cheese (lots of cheese if you prefer, well, I do!). Once you taste this Ranch potato you’ll never look potatoes the same way again and that’s the truth.

Ingredients

8 -10 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes

1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted

1 1/4 cups of milk

1 envelope ranch dressing mix

1 1/2 cups of  shredded cheddar cheese, divided

salt and pepper

6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

How To Make Easy Ranch Potatoes

Step 1. Prepare a saucepan. Pour water in the pan and add in the potatoes. Make sure that the amount of water is enough to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes are half cooked. Then, drain the potatoes.

Step 2. Carefully transfer the potatoes into a 13 x 9-inch greased baking dish.

Step 3. Combine the salad dressing mix, soup, 1 cup of cheese, and milk. Add a dash of salt and pepper for additional flavor. And mix with the potatoes.

Step 4. And then top with the remainder of the cheese and bacon.

Step 5. Place the baking dish inside the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees or until the potatoes are completely cooked. Make sure to not overcook it though.

Step 3. Combine the salad dressing mix, soup, 1 cup of cheese, and milk. Add a dash of salt and pepper for additional flavor. And mix with the potatoes.

Step 4. And then top with the remainder of the cheese and bacon.

Step 5. Place the baking dish inside the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees or until the potatoes are completely cooked. Make sure to not overcook it though.

written by Rebecca

I am so excited to share this recipe with you today! I was looking for something to eat the other day and I found egg noodles and beef in my fridge. So, I started to think of dishes that the main ingredients are noodles and beef. At first, I thought of Beef noodles soup but I didn’t have most of the ingredients so I came up with this dish instead. It was a good thing that I went for this recipe because it was amazing! I don’t know about you but just by looking at the photo, I kind of taste it! These simple steps will guide you to the perfect meal! You just need to follow it! Enjoy!

Ingredients

2 pounds sirloin tips, cubed

½ yellow onion, chopped

2 (10.75 ounces) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup

1 cup milk

½ cup red wine

1 (1.25 ounce) package beef with onion soup mix

2 (16 ounce) packages egg noodles

How to make Creamy Beef Tips with Egg Noodles

Place a large skillet in the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Grease lightly and saute onion, once translucent, add the beef sirloin tips. Cook for 5 minutes or until the beef turns brown.

In a large bowl, combine milk, red wine, creamy mushroom soup, and the sauteed beef sirloin tip. Put back into the skillet and make sure that the beef sirloin is fully covered by the soup mixture. Turn the heat to low and simmer. Cover the skillet and cook for 2 hours or until the beef is tender. Check occasionally.

Turn the stove to its lowest amount of heat and cook further about 4 hours until the beef is really tender and breaking apart.

In a large pot, pour water and season with a little amount of salt then bring to a boil. When boiling, add the egg noodles and cook for about 5 minutes or until the texture is firm. Stir two or three times to prevent the noodles from sticking together. Drain and place to a large bowl.

Add the beef tips on top of the noodles. Serve and enjoy!

Whenever we have this casserole it always feels like Thanksgiving. It’s super flavorful and my kids always love this for dinner. This recipe is so easy to make, you can even prepare this earlier in a day. Just cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake. Pop in the oven and serve with a big side of mashed potato or your favorite veggies. My favorite is the cheese topping because I love the crunch of it in every bite. Or you can leave it off, your choice. Either way, this casserole will still be as amazing as it ever will be!
