Beef Strip Vegetable Stir Fry
This recipe is loaded with fresh veggies, and makes a frequent appearance at my table. You can replacement beef with chicken, fish or even tofu.
Beef and Bean Taco Chili
This chili recipe is a lifesaver when I'm cooking on the fly. It's loaded with convenience ingredients, but you can pile on the veggies if you're in the mood for a fresh crunch.
Beef Ragout
My mother used to serve this to our family as a one-dish meal by adding sliced potatoes with the carrots. I've updated it by substituting mushrooms for the potatoes and adding chili sauce. It's also good over rice or mashed potatoes.
Broccoli Cheddar Pasta
Pair this rich and creamy cheddar and broccoli pasta with a protein like baked chicken tenders, pulled pork sandwiches or grilled sausages. Or, make the pasta the main dish with simple sides like a tossed green salad or buttered slices of homemade bread.
BBQ Pork Ribs
Check your pantry; you probably have everything needed to turn these ribs into a sweet, tangy, fork-tender treat. —Annette Thompson, Woodbury, Vermont
Easy Sweet Potato Curry
When served over rice, curry becomes a filling, one-dish meal. Try it with deep-fried leavened bread like bhatoora or the smaller poori, or make naan bread or chapati from scratch. For a fuller spread, add an Indian cucumber salad, one or more types of chutney and fresh paneer sprinkled with salt and spices. Chicken tikka skewers will please any meat eaters joining the party. Finish the meal with a sweet mango lassi or gulab jamun (fried doughnut balls infused with rose water).
Baked Cheeseburger Casserole
Serve cheeseburger casserole recipes with a non-starchy vegetable to help balance the casserole’s rich flavor and creamy texture. Try a stovetop broccoli cauliflower combo or one of these fresh side salads.
Cinnamon Pancakes
Nothing is better for breakfast than a serving of fluffy pancakes. These have an extra special ingredient: Cinnamon! It makes this recipe so delicious.—Jeanne Silva, Owasso, Oklahoma
Easy Beef Taco Skillet
While this taco skillet can totally serve as an all-in-one meal, you can add more to your fiesta-inspired spread with a platter of Mexican street corn, a bowl of homemade refried beans, a pot of fluffy Spanish rice or a basket of jalapeno corn muffins.
Kielbasa Casserole
Kielbasa casserole is cozy and hearty, highlighting the rich, creamy flavors of Polish sausage and a mushroom-and-cheese sauce.
Pickle Brined Chicken
Use up that leftover juice from the jar and make pickle-brined chicken. It's tender, juicy and lightly flavored with the sweet, salty and sour taste of pickles.
Garbage Bread
Garbage bread can be filled with any of your favorite comfort food flavors, and this version was inspired by the classic cheeseburger.
French Onion Pasta
French onion pasta is an internet favorite that captures all the savory flavor of the classic soup in a hearty noodle dish.
Alabama Chicken Stew
North Alabama chicken stew is a regional labor of love full of flavor that comes across in every bite. Make a giant batch to share at large gatherings like potlucks, fundraisers and family get-togethers.
Italian Sausage Veggie Skillet
We love Italian sausage sandwiches, but because the bread isn't diet-friendly for me, I created this recipe to satisfy my craving. If you like some heat, use hot peppers in place of the sweet peppers.
