Loaded Potato Soup

by Rebecca May 11, 2020
written by Rebecca

This Loaded Potato Soup brings me comfort and satisfied my cravings for bacon and potatoes. Super easy to make and quick to prepare. A hearty flavor-packed recipe in a bowl. Served it in a mug with a round loaf of bread for a cozy afternoon on the couch.

Ingredients

1 package (12 oz) bacon

1 1/2 cups of chopped onion

6 cups of Progresso™ chicken broth (from two 32-oz cartons)

2 lb baking potatoes, peeled, cubed

2/3 c. butter

3/4 c. Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

4 cups of milk

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. freshly ground pepper

1 c. diced cooked ham

1 container (8 oz) sour cream

2 1/2 cups of shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (10 oz)

3/4 cup of sliced green onions

How to make Loaded Potato Soup

Step 1: Put the bacon in a 12-inch skillet and cook over medium heat for 6-7 minutes or until crisp. Drain excess oil on paper towels, then crumble or cut the bacon crosswise into half-inch per piece (this way the bacon will cook uniformly). Set aside the crumbled bacon. Cook the onion in 2 tablespoons reserved bacon drippings over medium-high heat for 6 minutes or until almost tender.

Step 2: Mix the onion, broth, and potatoes in a 6-quarts oven. Heat until boiling then lowers the heat. Cook for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 3: In the same pan, melt the butter over low heat. Whisk the flour until smooth. Cook while stirring for 1 minute. Then, moderately stir in 2 cups of milk. Carefully pour the milk mixture over the potato mixture. Add the remaining 2 cups of milk, salt, and pepper. Cook while stirring continuously over medium heat until the mixture is thick and bubbly.

Step 4: Add the ham, half of the crumbled bacon, sour cream, 2 cups of cheese, and half cup of the green onions. Cook until the cheese is melted and heated thoroughly. Sprinkle the top with the remaining crumbled bacon, half cup of cheese, and 1/4 cup of green onions. Serve and enjoy!

Old Fashioned Custard Pie

by Rebecca May 11, 2020
written by Rebecca

Custard Pie is a classic dessert that most Moms served. Whenever I eat it, I can’t help but reminisce the times that my Mom made this; from a simple dinner dessert to a large gathering, this old fashioned pie was often requested. So, no wonder why it became my family’s tradition to serve a custard pie during gatherings. This also is a great gift to give to your friends or loved ones. Let them know that you’re the one who made it so they will feel important and loved. It is a simple dessert that is quick and pretty easy to make. But will always have a special place in our hearts. We grew up to this traditional treat and every bite brings us back to the days when our Moms are in the chicken preparing the perfect custard pie.

Now that I have kids of my own, I will make sure to continue the tradition. And I’m very pleased because I can see how much my kids love custard pie and that they know it’s history (place in our family). You can serve it plain or with some fresh berries and whipped cream.

INGREDIENTS

1 unbaked pie shell (I use Marie Callendar’s deep dish)

3 large eggs

1/2 cup of sugar

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg

2-2/3 cups of milk

1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

How to make Old Fashioned Custard Pie

Step 1: Prepare the oven by preheating it to 350 degrees F.

Step 2: In a bowl, slightly beat the eggs. Add the sugar, salt, nutmeg, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well and pour the mixture into the unbaked pie shell. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool.

Step 3: Sprinkle the top of the pie with fresh ground nutmeg before serving. Enjoy!

Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings Copycat Recipe

by Rebecca May 11, 2020
written by Rebecca

A very simple recipe that saves us a lot of time when preparing. In less than 30 minutes you’ll have a delicious meal to serve for dinner!

Ingredients

2 cups of Flour

½ tsp. Baking Powder

1 pinch Salt

2 Tbsp. Butter

1 cup of buttermilk

2 quarts Chicken Broth

3 cups of Cooked Chicken

How to make Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings

Step 1: Start by boiling the chicken. Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked, shred them into smaller pieces. Set aside and make the dumplings.

Step 2: If you have some leftover chicken in your fridge, feel free to use them. If that’s the case and you’re not boiling your chicken, you can make a broth by heating 2 quarts of store-bought chicken broth. You can also add a little of Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base (you can get it from Amazon). Put one spoonful of this base for extra flavor.

Step 3: In a medium-size bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4: With a pastry blender (or fork), mix the butter along with the dry ingredients.

Step 5: Stir in the buttermilk with the dough until it forms like a ball.

Step 6: Knead the ball on a floured surface and use a rolling pin. And with a pizza cutter (if available), cut the dumplings into squares (about 2-inch strips). Make sure that you cut them about the same sizes so they will all cook the same.

Step 7: Place the dumplings back into the bowl. Making sure that they don’t stick, so dust each dumpling with a bit more flour. It’s okay if you’re using more flour because those extra flour will help create a thicker soup sauce.

Step 8: Boil the broth and carefully drop the dumplings a little at a time while continuously stirring. Cook the dumplings for about 15-20 minutes or until they are not doughy anymore. Then, add the cooked chicken into the pot. Once done, transfer to a bowl and serve. Enjoy!

Skinny Chicken Sour Cream Enchiladas

by Rebecca May 11, 2020
written by Rebecca

I love to eat but I don’t want to get fat! I know, it’s not easy. Good thing this recipe is guilt-free and will not have me worrying about the scales! This chicken enchilada is a quick and easy meal to prepare. It’s creamy, cheesy, super delish, and fat-free! Another Mexican dish that I will surely keep in my recipe list. It is indeed a wonderful dish with a restaurant quality and definitely, not a belly buster.

INGREDIENTS

16 ounces of fat-free sour cream

1 can fat-free cream of chicken soup

1 tablespoon of fresh chopped cilantro (1/2 Tbsp. dried)

2 1/2 cups of cooked shredded chicken breast

1 can Mexican Rotel

1 cup of chopped onions (optional)

8 low carb tortillas

1 cup of shredded pepper jack and Colby cheese blend

1 can dice green chiles

How to make Skinny Chicken Sour Cream Enchiladas

Step 1: Place the sour cream, soup, and cilantro in a saucepan. Mix and heat through. Make sure to keep stirring or else you’ll get a huge hot mess as the mixture will bubble up quickly. Then, set aside.

Step 2: Grease your pan with a cooking spray.

Step 3: Put the chicken, Rotel, onions, and green chiles in the prepared pan. Combine and heat until the onions were translucent. You can skip the onions (if desired). Without the onions, combine the mixture for a few minutes until the flavors and juices are blended.

Step 4: Put 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the tortillas.

Step 5: Roll the tortillas and place them seam side down (to make sure they will not unravel) in an 8 x 11-inch greased dish.

Step 6: Generously pour or spread the sour cream over the enchiladas and top with the remaining cheese. Place inside the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Step 7: Once baked, remove from the oven and serve. Enjoy!

Step 1: Prepare the oven by preheating it to 300 degrees F.

Step 2: Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and set aside. Beat the cream, butter, and sugar in another bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then, mix in the sour cream, lemon juice, vanilla, ginger, and lemon zest.

Step 3: Combine half of the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Whisk in the buttermilk and add the remaining flour mixture. Mix until well-incorporated. Spray your bundt pan with a baking spray. Now, carefully pour the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan.

Step 4: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for 70-80 minutes. Insert a knife in the middle of the cake, when it comes out clean your cake is done. Don't remove the cake yet from the bundt pan, let it cool first for 5 minutes. Then, transfer the cake on a cake platter. Generously spread the lemon glaze over the warm cake to make sure that the glaze will soak into the cake. Let it cool completely. Once cooled, drizzle the top of the cake with lemon cream cheese frosting. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

ONE POT TACO SPAGHETTI

by Rebecca May 11, 2020
written by Rebecca

I love tacos and my boyfriend can finish 3 big bowls of spaghetti in one sitting! He loves spaghetti so much that whenever we eat out it is what he always wanted but every time I’m craving for tacos we without fail end up ordering spaghetti which is super unfair! That is why I fall hard for this recipe. No more unsatisfied cravings for me, and more spaghetti for my boyfriend. And this is very easy and quick to prepare. Just toss everything in one pot and when almost ready to serve, sprinkle the cheese and some cilantro on it. It’s gooey, undeniably delicious, comforting, and practical. Indeed a one-pot wonder with my favorite taco flavor in spaghetti form. Who can say no to this? Definitely, not me or my boyfriend. This recipe did not fail me. I sure am very satisfied (and my boyfriend of course!).

INGREDIENTS:

1 tablespoon of olive oil

1 pound ground beef*

1 (1.25-ounce) package taco seasoning

1 (10-ounce can) Ro*Tel® Mild Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies

1 Tbsp. tomato paste

8 ounces of spaghetti

1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

1 Roma tomato, diced

2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro leaves

HOW TO MAKE ONE POT TACO SPAGHETTI

Step 1: In a large stockpot or Dutch oven heat the olive over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 3-5 minutes or until browned. Crumble the beef while it cooks and stirs in the taco seasoning. Drain any accumulated fats.

Step 2: Mix the Ro*Tel®, tomato paste, spaghetti, and 3 cups water. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 13-16 minutes or until the pasta is cooked through.

Step 3: Once cooked, remove from heat and sprinkle with cheese. Cover the pot for 2 minutes so the cheese melts.

Step 4: Transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with tomato and cilantro before serving. Enjoy!

SWEDISH MEATBALLS RECIPE

by Rebecca May 10, 2020
written by Rebecca

The Great Swedish Meatballs with the most beautiful thick and fluffy gravy are smothered. The meatballs are full of wonderful flavor. You’ll quickly accept that these are the best you have got. And the sauce – you can’t miss the rich, delicious gravy sauce that the browned up meatball bits smother these meatballs in. Those pieces of meatball trapped at the bottom of the pan make the gravy what it is. I could almost drink it! Just make sure to make a little extra if you serve these over an egg noodle bed – you ‘re going to want a portion to slurp down.

Ingredients:

MEATBALLS

3 lb ground beef

1 white onion, diced

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 c seasoned dry bread crumbs

1/2 c fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley

2 tsp coarse ground salt

1 tsp coarse ground pepper

GRAVY

4 Tbsp all-purpose flour

2 10.5-OZ can(s) beef consomme

1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 c milk

1 tsp coarse ground salt

1 tsp coarse ground pepper

SERVING/PLATING

12 oz medium egg noodle

1/4 c butter

3 Tbsp fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley

Directions:

Place over medium to high heat a large non-stick frying pan. As the pan heats, blend well ground beef, diced onion, bacon, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, and pepper together. Shape a mixture into meatballs of 3/4- to 1-inch

Brown meatballs on both sides, in lots, if desired. Using a slotted spoon to remove brown meatballs to a heat-proof dish, leaving drippings in pan.

Sprinkle flour and whisk until mixed. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the flour turns golden brown and sweet.]

In Consumé and Worcestershire whisk slowly. To remove lumps, add milk, salt, and pepper continuously. Cook, stir regularly or thicken for 5-6 minutes before gravel starts. Add meatballs back to the pot together with the remaining jus; thoroughly cover the meatballs. Cook for ten-15 minutes and cook until the meatballs are cooked for lower to moderate heat.

Toss soft fried buttered egg noodles to coat. Divide the noodles into six dinner pots. Cover with 4-6 meatballs and some of the gravy; scatter with chopped fresh parsley.
