written by Rebecca

Let’s go Mexico! I am a fan of this amazing casserole. It is well seasoned, satisfying, and heartwarming. The flavors bursting inside your mouth in every bite is an experience you will never forget. Delicious!

INGREDIENTS

1 pound ground sirloin

1/2 cup chopped onion

3/4 cup red bell pepper

1 teaspoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon allspice

2 4 ounce cans chopped green chilis

1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and a little more for the top of the casserole

1 cup milk

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup flour

4 eggs beaten

dash of Tobasco

toppings of sour cream, black sliced olives, and chopped green onions

HOW TO MAKE CHILI RELLENOS CASSEROLE

Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet. Saute the onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Add in a dash of salt and cook until the onion is translucent.

Step 2: Add in the ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the cumin, allspice, then continue cooking until the beef is browned and cooked through. But do not overcook the beef as it is still going into the oven.

Step 3: Drain away all the fat from the beef mixture by setting your skillet at an angle and use a paper towel to soak up all the grease.

Step 4: Add a can of Achilles in a 9 x 13 x 1 1/2-inch baking dish. Spread the chilis evenly at the bottom of the pan.

Step 5: Spatter over the sharp cheese and pour the drained ground beef mixture on top. Spread evenly.

Step 6: Add in the second can of chilis on top of the meat.

Step 7: Stir the milk, sour cream, flour, salt, pepper, beaten eggs, and a dash of Tobasco in a small mixing bowl. Mix until smooth. Then, pour evenly over the dish.

Step 8: Place inside the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes. Ten minutes before the dish is done, remove from the oven and sprinkle some cheese on top. Return to the oven and continue baking. You can turn the oven on broil if the dish is not brown enough when it hits 50 minutes. It will only take about 5 minutes or so, watch the casserole carefully so it will not burn.

Step 9: Once cooked, remove from the oven and cut into squares before serving. Top with sour cream, black olives, and chopped green onions. Enjoy!

My Mom’s Perfect Thanksgiving Stuffing

by Rebecca June 25, 2020
written by Rebecca

A perfect stuffing to make an excellent turkey will make or break your Thanksgiving. Worry no more because My Mom’s Perfect Thanksgiving Stuffing got you covered.

INGREDIENTS

1 onion, diced

1 green pepper, diced

1 cup butter

3/4 cup diced celery (celery seed can be used, maybe a teaspoon or so)

2 eggs, beaten

2 cups canned chicken broth

1 16 oz. bag of pepperidge farm herbed seasoned stuffing (is crumbs, not cubes or croutons and is sold in a blue & white bag)

1 16-20 oz. bag soft bread cubes

garlic

poultry seasoning

fresh parsley or dried parsley flakes

1/2 teaspoon oregano

1 Reynolds turkey-sized baking bag

How to make My Mom’s Perfect Thanksgiving Stuffing

Step 1: Place the bag of bread crumbs with the Pepperidge Farm herbed seasoned stuffing into a large bowl and mix well. Set aside.

Step 2: Melt the butter in a frypan over medium-high heat. Saute the onions, green pepper, and celery. Cook until soft and translucent.

Step 3: Carefully pour the melted butter with the vegetables over the bread cubes and crumbs. And Mix in the 2 beaten eggs. Mix until incorporated.

Step 4: Add in a teaspoon of garlic powder, poultry seasoning, 2 tablespoons of dried parsley, and a tablespoon of oregano. Mix until well combined.

Step 5: Pour the chicken broth over the mixture making sure that the stuffing absorbs all of the liquid. You don’t want it though to be downright wet, just a little more than damp to make sure that it doesn’t dry out when baking.

Step 6: Thoroughly mix to make sure that the ingredients are incorporated.

Step 7: Stuff the turkey, make sure to pack both ends tightly but not too tight. Refrigerate any leftover stuffing. You can put the leftover in the oven along with the turkey exactly 45 minutes before the turkey is done for extra stuffing.

Step 8: Rub the softened butter all over the turkey using your fingers until coated. Sprinkle a bit of paprika over the entire turkey.

Step 9: Before you put the turkey inside the baking bag, first put 2 tablespoons of flour inside the bag. Then, push the turkey into the bag, close tightly, and make 3 slits across the top of the bag for ventilation. Place the baking bag with the turkey in it into a roaster pan. Cover and bake. The baking time depends on the size of the turkey you are using.

Cook’s note: Since you are using a baking bag, no basting is required, although, you can baste it still (your choice) one or two times when baking. The baking bag also ut the baking time by 3 or 4 hours to an hour while still holding in the juices and keeping the turkey moist and juicy.

All you need are some simple ingredients, toss them together, bake, and voilà you got yourself a sweet, cinnamon-spiced, and perfectly chewy coated pecans.

Who would have thought that such a simple treat can be so awesome and addictive? I love pecans even when I was a child. Everything with pecans I try to copy and this is one of those recipes that I have been keeping all these years. Not only that it is so easy and quick to make but this treat is so tempting, the taste and the smell are so irresistible. The cinnamon caramel coating is insanely good. Although you can use almonds, I prefer pecans more because they are more delicate and have more cracks and crevices for the sugar mixture to coat. This is a simple, mouthwatering treat that everyone can make.

INGREDIENTS

1 egg white

4 cups pecans

1/2 cup white sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

Grandma’s Homemade Potato Soup

by Rebecca June 25, 2020
written by Rebecca

Grandma’s Homemade Potato Soup is super comforting, the easiest and the tastiest you’ll ever sink your spoon into. It is satisfying and the best homemade potato soup.

There are also a lot of variation you will enjoy:

Potato Soup with Cajun Sauce: Slice into 1-inch pieces a one pound andouille sausage. Cook in oil until browned and set aside.

Cheesy Ham and Potato Soup: Add 2 cups of smoked ham into the cubed potatoes. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese just before serving and cook until melted.

Instant Pot or Electronic Pressure Cooker: Prepare the potatoes as instructed and set aside. Meanwhile, melt the butter, then, add in the potato mixture and toss to coat. Pour just enough water or chicken broth plus an inch to cover the potatoes. Gradually stir in half of the milk and cover to cook on high for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, let the pressure release and open the pot to mash the potatoes. Stir in the rest of the milk and add the chicken broth or water as needed to reach your desired consistency. Garnish with cheese.

So there you go. Choose whatever variation works for you, either way, it is going to be amazing!

INGREDIENTS

2 pounds of russet potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks (about 1-1/2 inch)

1/2 cup of chopped sweet onion

1/2 cup chopped celery

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

1/4 to 1/2 cup (1/2 to 1 stick) salted butter

Water to cover

1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk

Shredded cheese, for garnish, optional

How to make Grandma’s Homemade Potato Soup

Step 1: Mix the potatoes, onion, celery, flour, salt, and pepper for 10 minutes and set aside.

Step 2: Melt the butter in a soup pot or Dutch oven. Then, add in the potato mixture and stir until coated thoroughly. Pour enough water just to cover the potatoes, heat, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the milk and reduce to a simmer. Cook uncovered while stirring occasionally for 25 to 30 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. Adjust according to taste and continue to cook, uncovered, until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 3: Garnish with shredded cheese. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Cook’s Notes: If you want your potatoes less chunky, you can use an immersion blender or potato masher to puree the potatoes. You can also use some green onions. Even garnish it with crumbled bacon for that extra crunch and flavor.
