Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 40 mins | Serves: 6

I have a brilliant family dinner idea that I am sure everyone will love! This Stuffed Italian Sausage is an amazing weeknight meal option that you can easily and quickly make at any time. It is super good, I wish I have known this sooner!

Our favorite Italian sausage stuffed with melty mozzarella cheese on a bed of zesty marinara is out-of-this-world delicious! To make this Stuffed Italian Sausage, you only need three ingredients (uncooked Italian sausage links, string cheese, and your favorite marinara sauce). Start by slicing open each link to about halfway, almost creating a pocket. Stuff each with the string cheese. On top of the stuffed sausage links, pour the marinara sauce and bake until the cheese is bubbly and melty and the sausages are juicy and plump. For the marinara sauce, you are welcome to use any of your favorite marinara sauces. To serve, enjoy this Stuffed Italian Sausage over pasta. And for a low-carb meal, pair this Stuffed Italian Sausage with veggies.

INGREDIENTS

6 mozzarella cheese sticks

1 c. marinara sauce

6 uncooked Italian sausage links

How to make Stuffed Italian Sausage

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F.

Step 2: Down on one side of each sausage, make a slice using a knife or kitchen scissors. Cut the sausage about halfway, but not all the way through.

Step 3: Into each cut, place a mozzarella stick. Gently press the sausage back into shape using your hands.

Step 4: Into the bottom of a baking dish, pour the marinara, spreading it out using a spoon or spatula.

Step 5: In the baking dish, arrange the sausages, cut side up. Then, tent with foil and place in the preheated oven. Bake for about 30 minutes. Remove the cover and continue baking for another 10 minutes or until the sausages are completely cooked, and the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.

Step 6: Remove from the oven when done and serve the Stuffed Italian Sausage immediately. Enjoy!

Wendy’s Chili

by Rebecca September 9, 2022
written by Rebecca

This copycat Wendy’s Chili recipe is a nice and easy recipe of our favorite chili from Wendy’s. It is made with different kinds of beans along with simple ingredients. A copycat of Wendy’s popular Chili that is super mouthwatering with a perfect spice and kicks!

Ingredients

1 yellow onion – diced

2 stalks of celery – chopped

2 pounds ground beef – 85/15

1 green bell pepper – chopped

29 ounces canned tomato sauce

29 ounces canned pinto beans – not drained

29 ounces canned kidney beans – not drained

28 ounces canned tomatoes – chopped and not drained

1 tablespoon cumin powder

¼ c. chili powder

1 diced jalapeño – de-seeded and de-veined

1 c. water or tomato juice

1 tablespoon Butter

1 teaspoon black pepper

2 teaspoons salt

How to make Wendy’s Chili

Step 1: Cook the ground beef in a heavy-bottomed stockpot, breaking the meat into small chunks until browned. Then, drain the excess grease before adding in the remaining ingredients, except for the butter. Bring everything to a boil.

Step 2: Decrease the heat and let everything simmer, uncovered, for about 2 hours, stirring often.

Step 3: Next, add the butter and whisk well until completely melted and blended.

Notes:

You can make this Chili in the slow cooker. After browning the ground beef, then drain the excess grease. Into the slow cooker, add the ground beef and the remaining ingredients except for the butter. Set to cook on low for 4 hours. When ready to serve, stir in the butter.

For the toppings, you can use Fritos, shredded cheese, sour cream, black olives, more jalapeno, diced red onion, or anything you like!

For a vegetarian variety, swap ground beef with vegetarian crumbles.

For the beans, you can use pinto beans with jalapeno in place of plain pinto beans.

Substitute jalapeno with a small can of green chilis if desired.

Simmer the chili on low, stirring often to prevent the chili from sticking to the bottom.

Keep any leftover chili in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days.

You can freeze the chili for up to 3 months. Let the chili cool completely and just place it in an airtight container.

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the ground beef in a heavy-bottomed stockpot, breaking the meat into small chunks until browned. Then, drain the excess grease before adding in the remaining ingredients, except for the butter. Bring everything to a boil.

Step 2: Decrease the heat and let everything simmer, uncovered, for about 2 hours, stirring often.

Step 3: Next, add the butter and whisk well until completely melted and blended.

Notes

You can make this Chili in the slow cooker. After browning the ground beef, then drain the excess grease. Into the slow cooker, add the ground beef and the remaining ingredients except for the butter. Set to cook on low for 4 hours. When ready to serve, stir in the butter. For the toppings, you can use Fritos, shredded cheese, sour cream, black olives, more jalapeno, diced red onion, or anything you like! For a vegetarian variety, swap ground beef with vegetarian crumbles. For the beans, you can use pinto beans with jalapeno in place of plain pinto beans. Substitute jalapeno with a small can of green chilis if desired. Simmer the chili on low, stirring often to prevent the chili from sticking to the bottom. Keep any leftover chili in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can freeze the chili for up to 3 months. Let the chili cool completely and just place it in an airtight container.

Broccoli Cheddar Stuffed Chicken Breasts

by Rebecca September 9, 2022
written by Rebecca

This Broccoli Cheddar Stuffed Chicken breast is an incredibly easy and super delicious dish that is filled with mouthwatering broccoli cheese mixture and seared chicken, then bake to perfection! These Broccoli Cheddar Stuffed Chicken Breasts have been one of our favorites for years!

Ingredients

3-4 tablespoons olive oil

4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 ½ c. shredded cheddar cheese

3 c. broccoli florets

2 ounces cream cheese – at room temp

Garlic powder, cumin, or other spices

¼ c. chicken stock

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or other fresh herbs

How to make Broccoli Cheddar Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F.

Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, place the broccoli and add 2 tbsp water. Then, cover the bowl and heat in the microwave for about 2 minutes. Take the broccoli out of the oven and drain well. On paper towels, lay the broccoli to get rid of the excess moisture. Into small, pea-sized pieces, chop the broccoli and place them in the bowl.

Step 3: To the bowl with the broccoli, add the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, chives, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Mix well.

Step 4: On a cutting board, arrange the chicken breasts. Cut a deep pocket lengthwise into each chicken breast using a sharp knife. Be careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 5: Among the chicken breasts, divide the broccoli mixture, firmly pressing into each pocket.

Step 6: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and your preferred spices.

Step 7: Heat olive oil in a heavy ovenproof skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium heat. Then, add the chicken breast and sear for about 3 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 8: Take the skillet off the heat. To the skillet, add the chicken broth. Tent the skillet with aluminum foil. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.

Step 9: Take the chicken breasts out of the oven and allow them to rest for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 10: Serve and enjoy!

Notes:

Make sure to drain the frozen broccoli well before steaming.

For this recipe, you can use different varieties of cheeses such as Gruyere or Parmesan.

You use cauliflower in place of the broccoli.

You can also sear the chicken in a skillet, then just transfer the seared skillet to an oven-safe dish.
