As a mom, I always make sure to cook for my family. Even if I’m busy working, I see to it that I prepare healthy meals for them. And this recipe hits the top 10 spots. It’s a quick and easy meal to prepare. And the ingredients are very basic, you might even have them already; fresh beans, ham, and potatoes. Put them all into a crockpot, leave it for 6 hours, and before you know it dinner is ready. And if you are a busy mom like me, that 6 hours of waiting for the ham, green beans, and potatoes to cook, is all you need to work on some chores inside the house, and to relax, or work on projects or task if you are working from home. I love this recipe because it’s a complete meal by itself. My family enjoys this a lot, especially my kids. The ham gives flavor to the beans and potatoes which is super yum! This is a family-friendly meal that’s nutritious, filling, and delicious. You can, by the way, use some leftover ham too if any. And did I mention that this recipe is great for post-holiday to enjoy leftover ham with a hearty twist?

INGREDIENTS

2 pounds fresh green beans

2 pounds ham

4 baking potatoes

1 large onion, optional

3 cups of water

Salt & pepper, to taste

How to make Crockpot Ham, Green Beans & Potatoes

This is my favorite Balsamic Chicken Marinade, made with the highest taste of olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, and balsamic vinegar, of course. Not only for summer, it is an important recipe, but it’s a whole year long! Whenever I buy chicken breast in bulk, I freeze it for a quick dinner right in the Marinade. In a freezer-friendly bag or container, simply place the chicken in the marinade to ensure that the chicken is covered evenly.  Lay the name and date of use of your container (freeze for up to three months) and place it in the freezer.  Place on a soup plate to defrost and thaw overnight in the fridge.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons olive oil

1-2 tbsp of brown sugar (optional to offset the acidity from the vinegar)

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 (or more to taste) clove garlic, minced

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

Salt + pepper (to taste)

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast

Directions:

For Making the Marinade:

In a bowl and whisk, place all marinade ingredients very well.

For Marinating the Chicken:

In a ziplock bag, place the chicken or a small glass platter. Pour marinade on top, make sure every piece of chicken is covered everywhere. Close the ziplock well and cool until overnight for 15 minutes.

For Cooking the Chicken:

Remove the marinade from the chicken, remove the excess. Cook your favorite chicken.

When you used Grill:

Put the chicken on a hot grill and grill on either side for 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is finished.

When you used Skillet:

In a pot, heat oil. Add chicken and cook on either side for approximately minutes or until chicken is cooked.

When you used Oven:

In a baking dish put the chicken and bake for 20-30 minutes at 410 ° F or until the chicken is cooked.

Tip:

To get the best flavor, I suggest marinating for at least 30 minutes. The more chicken you leave it the more pronounced the flavor it will be, but you don’t marinate it overnight.

Use any chicken cut – especially great here are the boneless thighs or wings

Before marinating, you can cut the chicken into strips, into pieces or pound it

Leftover chicken is kept in a 3-day fridge airtight container and is added to easy lunches salads!

For the best texture and flavor use about 2 pounds of chicken with the marinade.

If you want to avoid the plastic in a single application, you can marinate a chicken in a glass or a lid in stainless steel containers. Ensure the chicken is marinated! You can have to double the marinade depending on the size of your container.

For reasons of food safety, you should always discard and not reuse used marinade.

It is recommended that you do not re-freeze it when you are using defrosted chicken.

This Asian-inspired dinner is perfect to serve with vegetables and rice for a fast and wholesomely meal and is a healthy beef recipe made from lean ground beef fried with ginger, garlic, sesame oil, a touch of honey and lots of green onions. I mean lightening by “fast.” This Korean beef bowl with veggies is ready in about 20 minutes, and you will have your vegetables ready even sooner.

In Korea beef has always been very expensive, so beef dishes use the ingredient almost always moderately, often combined with vegetables (or wrapped in them.  Korean beef is your favorite Korean restaurant’s fast weeknight version. With ground beef instead of short ribs, a plate of sweet and spicy beef became easier. In Korean food, there are plenty of delicious flavors you don’t often see in west food. Their sesame oil is loved by them, their roasted seaweed umami and their gochujang, of course. If this red pepper paste has never been present before I recommend that you pick up and play with it! I use ingredients in my cupboard today to make this recipe simple and economical.

Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground beef

3/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar

1/2 yellow onion, diced

1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes,

1 tablespoon sesame oil

Directions:

Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.

Cook your ground beef with sesame oil in a saucepan, medium-high.

Pour over the meat and combine the soy sauce mixture. Allow a few minutes to simmer.

Serve with white rice.

Tip:

Chicken may be used to replace ground beef or chicken if it is not available at home by chance.

I add some coconut oil to my rice for this extra flavor and texture. As long as it suits your tastebuds, you can add anything you like to the recipe and of course follow the instructions above.

Meals like this give you every taste you love in your favorite classic dishes (a stuffed pepper casserole in this case) but together make it as easy for you and your wallet as these meals are also excellent budget-friendly.  You can also replace any other ground meat you like, grown turkey or chicken will also work very well. You could use crumbled tofu or two black or white bean cans to make the stuffed pepper recipe vegetarian.

Think of this casserole as deconstructed, stuffed peppers — a very fancy way to say, these are last-minute stuffed peppers that are readily available. This is a cross between classic stuffed pepper recipe and the all-time favorite Sausage and Rice Casserole, with an additional ooey-gooey, a casserole that has a comfort factor for good measurement/general happiness. The cheesy pepper casserole produces a huge amount, and the remains can be easily packaged for lunch and reheat it for faster dinner. I’ve got storage tips below for you. Make it for once, and for the rest of the week, you’ll thank yourself for doing it.

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef

1/2 onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup green bell pepper

1/2 cup red bell pepper

14.5 oz tomatoes

3/4 cups white rice

2 cups beef broth

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 1/2 cups cheese

1 tbsp parsley

Directions:

Brown beef in a saucepan over medium heat with onion and garlic until it has cooked fully, crumbled, and is no longer pink. Drain any fat from it and remove it. Back on the heat, add bell peppers, tomatoes, rice, beef broth, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir to mix and bring to boil the mixture.

Reduce heat to simmer, cover until rice is cooked through for about 18 minutes.

Separate the rice grains using a fork and top rice with grated cheese. Again cover and let the cheese melt at low temperatures. Use fresh parsley for garnishing, serve.
