This is a discussion between Jess and I daily. We like ideas so I thought I would start a topic here. Just reply. Share the recipe if you can please - even a link if you got it somewhere else. 😀
Tonight we had a craving for stuffing and sweet potatoes. I made our fresh cornbread stuffing with chicken, gravy, and sweet potatoes. BTW, the stuffing is great with scrambled eggs in the morning ... I'm hungry.
What's for dinner at your house?
Mashed potatoes and meatloaf sounded pretty good for tonight 🙂 having our best meatloaf - here's the recipe!
Tonight...My kids love this potato soup, plus buttermilk biscuits and salad 🙂
Baking the potatoes for the potato soup is a fast way to make it. You can start the potatoes at breakfast or school time and they'll be nice and cool, ready to take off the flaky skin. I don't take off the baked inside and I'm not picky about some skin. You just want to make sure you leave the brown and bubbly baked part. I dice them all up, add them to my sauteed onion celery, and spices. Then cover with chicken broth in the dutch oven. It just needs cream, cheese, and bacon. Adding fresh broccoli to simmer with it is delicious too.
Last night, we made our homemade tortillas (recipe on the blog) to make beef, bean, and cheese burritos. I double the recipe to make 24. If I don't use all the dough balls, I put them on a cookie sheet and freeze and thaw as needed.
I pressure cook dried pinto beans for our meals, so easy. How-to here! My daughter missed the pot of pinto beans sitting there and added black beans, so we used both!
It seriously takes a few minutes to make the tortilla dough.
Beef Stuffing - Not exact amounts here because it depends on the amount of ground beef, I used 2 1/2lbs for our family.
- Ground beef - cooked - I usually add some beef base (paste) and a cup of water to my ground beef.
- Add chopped green and red peppers, chopped onion, 2 c. cooked beans, 1 can spicy tomatoes such as Rotel tomatoes, 1 can of green or red enchilada sauce.
- Start with a tsp of each seasoning: salt, pepper, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, thyme.
- Cook and stir until bubbly.
Now just stuff the flaky, yummy tortillas and top with cheese, avocado, sour cream or whatever else you love. Enjoy!
It might be 90 degrees out, but a comfort food is a comfort food!
We're doing our White Chicken Chili tonight...
