1 pound of ground beef

1 28-ounces can of whole tomatoes – chopped and not drained

2 cloves garlic – minced

2 teaspoons honey

1 (6 oz.) can of tomato paste

1 bay leaf

1 c. sour cream

1 (10 oz.) can of diced tomatoes with green chiles – not drained

4 ounces cream cheese – softened

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 c. grated Cheddar cheese

1 c. Parmesan cheese – freshly grated

1 c. grated Monterey Jack cheese

6 green onions, chopped

Sliced black olives

10-12 ounces egg noodles – cooked but 3 minutes less than the directions

Chopped parsley (optional)

1 teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

How to make Best Ever Beef Lombardi

Step 1: To the middle position, adjust the oven rack and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Ready a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Grease and set aside.

Step 2: In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the beef and onion. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 8 minutes, breaking the meat up using a spoon until the meat is completely cooked.

Step 3: To the skillet, add the tomato paste, honey, and garlic. Stir well and continue to cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic. Next, add the tomatoes, stir, and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated.

Step 4: Add the bay leaf and let everything simmer for about 30 minutes.

Step 5: In the meantime, cook the noodles in a large pot with salted boiling water for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside 2 c. of the pasta water before draining the noodles. Set aside.

Step 6: In the empty pot, place the sour cream, and ½ cup of the reserved cooking water. Mix well until smooth. Toss in the noodles and add the rest of the 1 ½ cups of the cooking water.

Step 7: In the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spread the noodles. On top, evenly spread the beef mixture and sprinkle with the cheeses.

Step 8: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the edges are bubbling and the cheese is spotty brown. Take the dish out of the oven when done and allow it to cool for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 9: Before serving, garnish the dish with some green onions, sliced black olives, and chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Air Fryer Onion Rings

by Rebecca September 30, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 12 mins | Total time: 22 mins
Super easy and quick. These Onion Rings are the best version I’ve made so far! They are perfectly seasoned, and crispy minus the grease. Serve these onion rings as a party appetizer. They are also excellent on game day.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ c. all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt, divided

1 egg

½ c. buttermilk

1 c. panko breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon paprika

Oil Spray, optional

1 large yellow sweet onion, sliced ½” thick and separated into rings

How to make Air Fryer Onion Rings

Step 1: Ready four shallow, deep plates. Mix the flour, paprika, and ½ tsp salt on the first plate. On the next plate, combine the buttermilk or milk and vinegar/lemon juice, and egg, with a ¼ cup of the flour mixture. Place the panko breadcrumbs, ½ tsp salt, and olive oil on the third plate and mix well using a fork. On the fourth plate, place half of the panko.

Step 2: Dry the onion rings using a paper towel, removing the excess moisture.

Step 3: in the flour mixture, dredge the onion rings using a fork, then drop them in the buttermilk mixture and coat them with panko mixture.

Step 4: Grease the fryer basket with an oil spray. In a single layer, place the onion rings in the Air Fryer basket. Inside the bigger rings, you can place the smaller rings, leaving enough space between them.

Step 5: Set the onion rings to cook for about 11 to 15 minutes at 400 degrees F or until crispy and golden brown. After about 6 minutes, spray them with cooking spray. There is no need to flip the onion rings.

Step 6: Using a cookie spatula or fork, lift the onion rings when done and serve right away. Enjoy!

Tips:

For this recipe, you can also use sweet onions. White and yellow onions don’t work well for breading.

Freeze the breaded onion rings for about 15 minutes on a baking sheet to let the panko mixture stick better.

You can swap panko bread crumbs with normal bread crumbs. But it might not be as crispy.

To coat the onion rings, make sure to use a fork.

by Rebecca September 30, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 30 mins | Cook Time: 42 mins | Total Time: 1 hr 12 mins | Servings: 12 lasagna roll-ups

I love lasagna and these lasagna roll-ups are the best option for an easier and quick lasagna dinner. Make these lasagna roll-ups ahead for an even faster meal. They are also freezer-friendly and reheat perfectly!

Ingredients

1 large egg

16 ounces ground beef, 85% lean

12 lasagna noodles, cooked to package instructions

24 ounces marinara sauce

3 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 c. diced onion

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

15 ounces ricotta cheese

3 c. mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided

1/4 c. Parmesan cheese, shredded

1/4 c. parsley, chopped, plus more to garnish

1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste for red sauce

1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

How to make Lasagna Roll-Ups

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees F.

Step 2: Following the package directions, cook the noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water. When done, drain the noodles and fill the pot with cold water.

Step 3: Cook the ground beef in a deep pan or dutch oven on medium-high heat, breaking the meat apart using a spatula until the ground beef is no longer pink. Then, add the onion and cook for another 3 minutes until tender. Next, add the garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, half tsp pepper, and half tsp oregano. Saute for a minute more before adding in the marinara. Bring everything to a simmer, then turn the heat off. On the bottom of a casserole dish, spread a half cup of the meat sauce.

Step 4: Place the ricotta, 1 egg, 1/4 c. Parmesan cheese, 1 1/2 c mozzarella cheese, and 1/4 c parsley in a large bowl. Mix well until blended.

Step 5: Over a large baking sheet, arrange the noodles in a single layer. On top of each noodle, spread 1/4 c of the cheese mixture. In a strip down the middle of each noodle, add a heaping tablespoon of the meat sauce. Then, roll the noodles up and place them in the prepared casserole dish.

Step 6: On top of the roll-ups, spread the rest of the meat sauce and sprinkle with the rest of the mozzarella cheese. Tent the dish with foil, ensuring the foil is not touching the cheese.

Step 7: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes. Uncover and broil for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese is lightly golden.

Step 8: Before serving, garnish with parsley. Enjoy!

CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI STIR FRY

by Rebecca September 30, 2022
written by Rebecca

This chicken and broccoli stir fry is so easy to make. It’s a great weeknight dinner option best served over rice. If you love Chinese food, I’m sure you’ve already heard about this stir fry. And this homemade version is as great, if not better than what you get from your favorite Chinese restaurant!

Ingredients

Chicken and Broccoli:

2 tablespoons cooking oil – I use Avocado Oil – Divided

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast – cut into ¾-inch pieces

1 pound broccoli (about 5 c.) – cut into florets

½ pound white button mushrooms – thickly sliced

1 small yellow onion – sliced into strips

Stir Fry Sauce:

3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce (or Tamari for gluten-free)

1 tablespoon corn starch

⅔ c. low sodium chicken broth

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 tablespoons light brown sugar – packed (or honey if you prefer)

¼ teaspoon black pepper – plus more to season chicken

1 teaspoon fresh ginger – peeled and grated

1 teaspoon garlic (2 small cloves) – grated

HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI STIR FRY

Step 1: To make the sauce, whisk the sauce ingredients until the sugar and cornstarch are dissolved. To help the sugar dissolve faster, slightly warm the broth. Set aside.

Step 2: Into small bite-sized pieces that are no more than 3/4-inch thickness, cut the chicken and lightly season with pepper.

Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the wok in a single layer and cook for about a minute, undisturbed. Then, stir fry for additional 5 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked and golden brown.

Step 4: To a bowl, transfer the seared chicken and loosely tent to keep them warm.

Step 5: Add another 1 tbsp of oil to the now-empty wok/skillet. Then, add the broccoli florets, sliced onion, and sliced mushrooms. Stir fry the veggies for about 3 minutes or until the broccoli is crisp-tender and the mushrooms have softened. Then, adjust the heat to medium/low.

Step 6: Stir the sauce before pouring it over the veggies. Let it simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. You can add water 1 tbsp at a time if the sauce is too thick until you reached your desired consistency.

Step 7: Place the chicken back in the pan and stir for 30 seconds more or until completely heated. If needed, add more soy sauce to taste.

Step 8: Remove from the heat when done and serve the chicken and broccoli stir fry over hot white rice. Enjoy!

Crock Pot Ranch Chicken Tacos

by Rebecca September 30, 2022
written by Rebecca

This Crock Pot Ranch Chicken Tacos recipe is an easy taco recipe that you can make any time! All the ingredients are combined in the pot and set to cook for a few hours. Once ready to serve, shred the chicken and toss them back into the pot. The best part is this recipe is easily customizable to your liking.

Ingredients

1 packet ranch seasoning

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tbsp low sodium taco seasoning – (or 1 packet of taco seasoning)

8-10 small taco-sized flour tortillas or corn tortillas

1 c. chicken stock – low sodium if you prefer

Optional:

Diced avocado

Cilantro leaves – chopped

Shredded lettuce or Shredded cabbage

Diced tomato

Red onion – thinly sliced

Shredded cheese

How to make Crock Pot Ranch Chicken Tacos

Step 1: In the bottom of a slow cooker, place the chicken breasts. Then, pour in the chicken stock and sprinkle the taco seasoning and ranch seasoning on top. Put the lid on and set to cook for 3 to 4 hours on high or 6 to 7 hours on low.

Step 2: To a bowl, transfer the chicken about after 20 minutes before serving, and shred the chicken using two forks. Place the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and stir well.

Step 3: To serve, fill the tortillas with the shredded chicken and top with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes:

In my opinion, iceberg lettuce is the best variety to use for tacos. You can shred the lettuce or use store-bought lettuce in a bag. If shredding the lettuce, shred it thinly.

Add cayenne pepper to the taco and ranch seasoning for spicier chicken. You can use spicy taco seasoning mix or your preferred hot pepper sauce.

In an airtight container, keep any leftovers and place them in the fridge for up to 4 days.

To double the recipe, use a 6-quart or more crockpot and increase the cooking time by an hour.

To freeze the cooked chicken, transfer the completely cooled chicken into airtight containers or freezer bags.
