EASY BAKED BURRITO CASSEROLE RECIPE

by Rebecca May 2, 2020
written by Rebecca

This simple casserole recipe has ground beef and cheese. Your family will love a one-course meal. It’s great and is always a favourite of the crowd at all of our events. This casserole burrito is made with all the flavours of a burrito of beef and cheese. Both burritos, fried boobs, cheddar, and tortillas are part of the beef combinations. This baked burrito casserole version is a preferred one since it blends with plenty of tortillas and loaded with cheese all the wonderful aromas, and whoever tries this, always wants to have this recipe.

I love this dish most, it’s all the layering, taco meat, tortillas, beans, and a simple cream sauce, and natural cheese. It begins with ground beef, taco seasoning, and onion as in most taco nights. I’ll pick up a cane of mushroom soup cream from there. This may sound unusual, I can understand, so if your cream is not your thing, feel free to replace it.

Ingredients:

1 pound of ground beef

1 small onion, chopped

1 pack of taco seasoning

1 can refried beans

1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted

1/2 cup sour cream

1 pack large flour tortillas

2 1/2 c of shredded Mexican blend cheese

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 ° C.

Add the onion and ground beef in a large pot, cook until the beef is pink and dry.

Fill in the taco seasoning, refired, and heat the beans.

Combine the mushroom soup and the sour cream in a separate bowl. Spread half the soup in the base of a baking platter.

Add the in the top of the soup mixture a layer of 3 flour tortillas. You will have to cut and overlap the tortillas.

Spread the beef blend on the top layer and add a cup of cheese.

Repeat the procedure to the rest of the layers with the cheese.

Bake until cheese is well melted for about twenty minutes.

Old Fashioned Creamy Rice Pudding

by Rebecca May 2, 2020
written by Rebecca

Rice puddings are served during cold weather. I remember always asking my mom to make this for me. It brings me comfort and warmth. And now that I have kids of my own, I make sure that they get to experience the same feeling I had whenever my mom served it for us. This recipe of Creamy Rice Pudding is nothing like my moms. It’s differently delicious (sorry mom, I still love your rice pudding though). I’ve never tasted anything like this. And it is very easy to make, you only need simple ingredients. I’m sure to share this with her, she will love this! She can put raisins to it just the way she always likes her pudding.

The first time I cooked this, it turned out amazing, even my kids can’t get enough of it! It’s so creamy and not-so-sweet. I even taught my eldest daughter this recipe, She’s 12. This is something I want my kids to pass on to their children as well. It’s like a family tradition. I know this is quite simple for a family recipe but this has a huge place in our hearts. Now, I want you to have this recipe. Just follow these simple instructions and you’ll have the perfect rice pudding, I promise you. This is our way of saying, God bless us all!

By the way, Before serving, sprinkle it with cinnamon or some nuts on top. It’s the best!

PUMPKIN OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

by Rebecca May 2, 2020
written by Rebecca

I love cookies that crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle. I know, it is nothing like your traditional cookie, but nothing beats a deliciously different cookie. With this recipe, you’ll get to know the difference. I’m confident that you’ll love this pumpkin oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips.

Ingredients

3/4 cup unsalted butter softened

1 cup (181g) light brown sugar lightly packed

1/2 cup (107g) white sugar

1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp. (139g) canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling and not the entire can)

1 large egg yolk discard or save the whites for another recipe

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 and 1/2 cups (195g) white all-purpose flour

1 and 1/2 cups (151g) quick oats

1 tsp. cinnamon

2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp. (116g) miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup (95g) regular milk or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Place softened butter, with the brown and white sugar in a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat.

Add the pumpkin, egg yolk, and vanilla. Beat more. (Make sure the pumpkin is not watery, use only high quality canned pumpkin. Adding watery pumpkin will make your cookies cakey. If need you can drab the pumpkin with a paper towel)

In a separate bowl, stir the flour, quick oats, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. If you prefer to add more seasonings you can; nutmeg, allspice, cloves, more cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, etc.

Please use exact flour measurement; too much flour will lead to cakey cookies, and too little will cause your cookie to spread. Use your finger to level the flour at the top of the measuring cup, and do not press it down.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.

Once all the flour is added, the mixture should pull away from the edges. At this point, you can stir in the chocolate chips. (you can use whatever you like! I use just regular-sized milk chocolate chips and miniature semi-sweet chocolates)

We want to first refrigerate the dough, so cover them up and let them sit in the fridge for 30 minutes or (I prefer) one hour. This is an important step, make sure not to skip or your cookies will likely to spread.

Ready the oven. Preheat to 350 degrees F.

Now, line a baking mat with a nonstick liner, you can use parchment paper, too. This helps to cook the cookies evenly and not burn the edges.

Remove the chilled dough from the fridge. Roll two small balls of dough and press one ball on top of the other. Mesh into one tall piece without flattening. You have to get a tallish, almost vertical rectangle shape. So when baking, the bottom of the tall rectangle will cook first, then the top section next, all this in slightly less time. The shape is important to have that crisp on the outside and chewy in the inside cookies.

Only put 6-8 cookies on a cookie sheet because they spread quite large (depending on how much dough you rolled). I usually use 3-4 tablespoons per cookie.

Put the first batch in the fridge to chill and work on rolling the other batches.

When baking, after taking the tray out of the fridge, place it directly in the oven.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until the bottom and sides are very lightly browned. The secret is to slightly under-bake the cookies to keep them soft and chewy.

Remove the tray from the oven and allow the cookies to cook for another 1-2 minutes on the baking sheet. Transfer them to a wire cooling rack. (this is all up to you but you can press in 5-6 pieces of chocolate chips into the top of each cookie as soon as you remove them from the oven, for presentation)

I would suggest keeping the cookies for another day before serving. This way the cinnamon and pumpkin flavours already intensified. Make sure to store them in an airtight container.
