Asian Beef over Rice

Advertisements

This Asian beef is easy to make and can serve lots of people. This recipe is also great for using up leftover veggies or to help use some things up from the freezer. This Asian beef is flavorful and pairs great with the rice. I like to place about 1/4 cup of meat on 1 cup of rice then stir it all together before eating. This ratio is my favorite and the flavor is in every bite! This recipe is very similar to Korean beef, but really it was just a way for me to use up leftover beef dumpling filling from the previous night. This recipe makes 4 adult servings.

Aldi Butter Chicken Curry Sauce Review

Advertisements

I bought this butter chicken sauce from Aldi about two months ago, and I was just feeling in the mood for some curry and thought it was a great opportunity. This recipe is simple and super fast! This curry is labeled as mild, but it is still spicy and may not be suitable if you/your family can only handle a little spice. Serving this curry over rice is a must, and definitely helps with the heat. This jar makes delicious curry with a few spicy bites mixed in! This recipe makes 5 adult sized servings.

Apple Crisp

Advertisements

Apple Crisp is an easy dessert and tastes amazing along with some vanilla ice cream. I’ve made apple crisp several times and I find that every time it’s to use up all the extra apples I have. We buy from a local farmer who likes to sell in bulk, so we end up buying in bulk! If apple crisp can’t use up your apples, apple sauce can, or even an apple cake. I didn’t get any picture of this apple crisp finished baking since I served it at for an after church lunch, however, it was a big hit and tasted great. This recipe makes 6-8 adult sized servings. How long your apple crisp lasts will depend on the state of your apples. I made this apple crisp when my apples were very close to bad, so it only lasted about 5 days, but for fresh and firmer apples you will get 7-10 days.

Pan-Fried Meatballs and Spaghetti

Advertisements

Spaghetti and meatballs is such a classic and easy meal, but sometimes we just don’t have the time to wait the 50 minutes it would take to bake them in the oven. So, why not make your meatballs like you would make a burger? Cook it in a frying pan with some oil for 4 minutes a side, and bam! You’ve got yourself and your family a delicious and easy topping for your spaghetti. Most spaghetti takes 6-10 minutes to cook, which give you plenty of time to make these meat balls. I liked the recipe that I used below, but feel free to use your own meatball recipe with this pan-frying method. This dinner was made with just under 1 lb of meat, so by following the directions, you should get about 11-12 meatballs. The recipe below made 4-5 adult sized portions.

  • 1 Jar Pasta Sauce
  • Medium Mixing Bowl
  • Large Frying Pan
  • 2 Medium to Large Sauce Pans
  • A Colander

Directions

1. In the mixing bowl, add meat, egg, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, and A1. Mix by hand until combined. Roll out about 3 Tbsp into a ball and add to the frying pan. Once done, add the oil to the frying pan and place over medium heat. Cook meatballs 4 minutes on each side.

2. Cook Pasta as directed, then strain. Add sauce to second saucepan and place over medium heat until beginning to simmer. Add the meatballs once they are done and coat in sauce. Plate noodles, then top with sauce, meatballs, and grated Parmesan.

Thick Crust Pizza

Advertisements

If you like pizza with thick crust, nothing gets thicker than this pizza! This pizza is almost just bread with toppings! However, this pizza crust absorbs the savory liquid from the sauce and paired with the salty cheese on top, this is one of the tastiest pizzas I’ve ever had. I used a 12 inch diameter deep dish pizza pan, and the dough before topping was about an inch and a half thick. The par-bake is important to ensure that the crust is cooked completely before serving. You can use store bought pizza sauce with this pizza, but you’ll want it to be a thinner sauce and savory rather than sweet. This pizza made 6 large servings.

What You Will Need

  • 6 Cups Flour
  • 2 Cups Warm Water (110 F)
  • 4 tsp Active Dried Yeast
  • 3 Tbsp Oil
  • Homemade Sauce
  • 2 Cups Shredded Mozzarella
  • 1/2 Onion, Finely Sliced
  • 1/2 Bell Pepper, Sliced
  • Dutch Oven
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Deep Dish Pizza Pan

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, water, yeast, and oil. Add additional flour until the dough doesn’t stick to your finger. Form the dough into a ball, coat lightly with oil, and place somewhere warm to rise for 45 minutes to an hour and a half, or until doubled in size.

2. Heat oven to 350 F. Punch down the dough and transfer to the pizza pan. Work to hide any crack, then stretch evenly to edges of the pan. Let rise for 30 minutes, then stretch again leaving a crust up the sides. Bake for 15 minutes then remove. Top the par-baked crust with pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings. Return to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until toppings begin to brown. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting.
