Every bite is crazy delicious, the flavors bursting to leave your mouth watery and you asking for more. And this stroganoff casserole is very easy to make, you just need to mix the ingredients, pour in a casserole dish, and bake until hot and bubbly. Top with some parmesan cheese and serve.

Old-Fashioned Vanilla Custard

by Rebecca June 29, 2020
written by Rebecca

A velvety, smooth homemade Vanilla Custard is a staple, great to serve with fresh berries or cinnamon. Place a scoop in a bowl and top with fresh berries for a light, healthy, and refreshing breakfast. It is amazing served warm for a snack, too. At first, it is intimidating and looks like a little hard work to make but it’s actually pretty simple. Whip up a batch, and you’ll end up making it again and again because it’s so good and anything top with sweet cream a is a happy booster. Old-Fashioned Vanilla Custard is on my favorite list, and why not? It is a must, can be eaten plain, is used in creme brulee, and other baked desserts. And vanilla goes along with just about anything! Top it with crumbled cookies, crushed candy, fresh fruit, fresh mint, or chocolate chips which are few of my favorite vanilla toppings. I love adding some flavor to it after I finish making the custard, like espresso, coffee, or almond extract, even freshly ground nutmeg or cinnamon. Amazing right?

INGREDIENTS

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup whole milk

4 egg yolks

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch

¼ cup granulated sugar

How to make Old-Fashioned Vanilla Custard

Step 1: Combine the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat and make sure to continuously stir the mixture for 5 minutes. Once the mixture is hot but not boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 2: Place the egg yolks, cornstarch, and sugar in a large resistant bowl. Whisk until well blended.

Step 3: Carefully and gradually pour the hot cream mixture over the egg yolk mixture. Make sure to whisk the mixture constantly so the eggs will not scramble.

Step 4: Transfer the custard mixture back to the first saucepan. Cook over low heat and stir for 8 to 10 minutes until the mixture thickened. Do not bring the mixture to a boil or the custard will curdle.

Step 5: Serve immediately. Enjoy!

I love this! The zesty, crunchy corn salad top with Fritos chips is a summer side dish that is great to serve all year round!

We love corn, I like to stock especially when it is in season. When I am not using them yet, I cut off the cobs and freeze. A foolproof way to throw fresh veggies into a cozy meal at any time of the day. I like it most when grilled or cooked in a milk and butter texture like how we used to. Not until I read about this Crunchy Frito Corn Salad recipe that everyone is crazy about. I tell you this recipe is the greatest! I am obsessed and the kids had so much fun devouring this delicious corn salad. It instantly became my family’s favorite, a matter of fact, the most requested. This is a must-try, you guys. It’s refreshing, it’s simple, easy to make, and a quick fix if you want something light for dinner. You can even use canned corn kernels if fresh cobs are not available and it still is gonna be great! No need for anything fancy, just a few simple ingredients to make this crunchy Frito Corn Salad.

How To Cook Bacon In The Oven

So how do you cook bacon in the oven? Simple! All you need is packed of your favorite bacon, a baking sheet, foil, and 25 minutes. Don’t get me wrong, I love the traditional cooking in a skillet version of bacon with the oil splattering all over and the whole kitchen smelling like bacon all day. But I think this oven-baked bacon is hassle-free and the easier version to enjoy your favorite bacon.

If you are at my house the first thing you’ll notice when you open my fridge is the packs of bacon. Not two or three but more than 5 packs of bacon! We love bacon, we always have it for breakfast, we include it to dishes that require bacon, I put it in my sandwich or burger, or just eat it as is like chips. Crazy, huh? We are a bacon family. Bacon is great to put in your Breakfast Nachos, Ohh I love nachos and bacon sets it on a different level. Baked-ones I mean. I put it on my Southwestern Bacon Quiche, Apple Bacon Toast, and a lot more! Try the oven-baked bacon and I am pretty sure your life will be a little less messy.

INGREDIENTS

12 slices bacon

How To Cook Bacon In The Oven

Step 1: Lay the bacon on an aluminum foil-lined large baking sheet. Line them in a single layer across the baking sheet. Make sure though that the pieces don’t overlap.

Step 2: Place the baking sheet inside a cold oven, then, turn the heat to 400 degrees F.

Step 3: Bake the bacon for about 15 to 25 minutes or until the bacon is on your desired level of crispiness. Check the bacon after 15 minutes as thin slices of bacon cook quickly.

Step 4: Once baked, remove from the oven and transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Great for breakfast with some eggs and mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
