B.l.t. Pasta Casserole

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 21:19:11 -0400

This casserole, from Lunds & Byerly's, has no lettuce - it also has several ingredients that are not "traditional" B.L.T. flavors. But it sure sounds like something my boys would like, so I'm posting it here for menu planning. -- posted by Sweet Jezebel

Beef Stroganoff

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 01:04:02 -0400

I found this recipe about 20 years ago, when I first started to cook. I have never found a recipe I like better! I thought I had lost it, and found a similar recipe on Zaar, but not quite the same. Since I don't want to lose it again, I'm posting. Note -- I have on occassion made meatballs in place of the tips to save time. In that case, I did not add a marrow bone. Still delicious! -- posted by kittycatmom

Cathy's Pork Chops & Spanish Rice

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 02:28:41 -0400

This recipe evolved from a Spanish Rice recipe i found on 'zaar, and had to make changes based on what I originally had on-hand. Turned out great, and is often requested in our house! Feel free to substitute any ingredient, as this recipe is based on my own dietetic requirements (i.e., pink peppercorns, pork). Also, preparation time is estimated as I have a vintage stove with ONE BURNER that mostly works on HIGH!!! (are you listening, Mikey?) -- posted by Michelle Minicucci

Vegetable Casserole With Zucchini, Mushroom & Tomatoes

Mon, 30 Mar 2009 18:18:52 -0400

I was looking for a healthy lasagna alternative and couldn't find many options, so I made up this vegetable casserole. If serving it as a main course, you may want to add some extra protien - a layer of cubed extra firm tofu or ground veggie "meat" would be great. Also, if you prefer a more cheesy casserole, you could sprinkle additional shredded mozarella on top about 25 minutes into cooking time. -- posted by Katie In Miami

Recipe is originally from Aylmer's Tomatoes (back in the day when you snail-mailed to order a recipe book). Over the years I've tweaked the ingredients to our preference.

The recipe doesn't call for garlic, however for those that enjoy it... mince away. -- posted by Mustang Sally 54269

Chard, Onion & Gruyère Panade (Bread Casserole)

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 01:43:57 -0400

This is a delicious, decadent and luscious French "bread casserole" from "The Zuni Café Cookbook" that you will want to make again and again. It's a great use for stale bread and a very forgiving recipe, you can improvise with other greens and cheeses. As with all panades, you may need a little more bread, or have some left over; same with the liquid, depending on the size and shape of your baking container. If you have more time, you can cook this at 250°F, for about 2 hours 45 minutes; the slower the bake, the more unctuous and mellow the results. If you have leftovers, the Zuni Cafe's Chef Judy Rodgers instructs: Warm about 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Slide in a scoop cold panade and press gently to make an 2-inch-thick patty. Fry gently to make a golden crust, about 3 minutes, then fry the other side. It's also great rewarmed in the microwave. It is actually not difficult to make; the instructions are just very detailed. You can skip the stovetop step and still get great results. Enjoy! -- posted by blucoat

I adapted this recipe slightly from Cooking Light. Instead of using vermicilli, I use half regular spaghetti and half whole wheat. I break the spaghetti into thirds before cooking it. Because of the yummy sauce, you don't even notice the whole wheat pasta. This recipe came in a segment on "eat one, freeze one." It freezes very well. -- posted by 2hot2handle

Baked Sweet Potato "hash"

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 02:26:14 -0400

I made this up when I had leftover jimmy dean sausage to use. It's good for any meal of the day! Really you could use any type of sausage- Italian or Chorizo ( Spanish sausage) might add a different flavor! The seasonings/ herbs: you can add as much or as little as you want- depending on your taste. The baking/ cooking time is approximate- I did this in a dorm kitchen so the oven cooks a little faster. -- posted by Chef #1149117

Flavorful Potatoes Ham Scallops

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 01:17:55 -0400

This potatoe dish is made with simple ingredients but full of flavors. A type of dish good on it's own or main dish with a salad. Potatoes, ham, cheese, and oh...lots of cheese...after a long day of working and taking care of my boys...this is the dish to feed hungry mouths. The results won't be disappointing! I came up with the recipe because I wanted something simple but full with flavors and feed a lot of people. NOTE: You will notice I did not add salt because the ham and cheese already have salt. If salt is added the dish may be too salty at the end. -- posted by Chef #393272

Mexican Chicken Lasagna

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:38:46 -0400

I first had this at a pot luck at work. Got the recipe from a friend but decided it needed some tweaking. You may add as much heat as you like or keep it toned down. Add taco toppings too if you like when serving. It does take a little work but in the end it pays off. Note: You won't use all the reserved broth. There is a large amount saved just to make sure you have enough. The chicken soup in this recipe is the creamy color one not the yellow. In place of the chips you can use taco shells broken in halves. Or you can use the Corn tortillas, omit softening them. Using the chips give more corn flavor. Prep time does not include prep time for chickens. -- posted by KGCOOK

Cottage Pie

This is a twist on a taco casserole. I love to create in the kitchen. I made this last night, and the family loved it, so I thought I would jot it down while it is still fresh in my mind.

Also, to make it more like a meal I'll add meat to the recipe. For instance, Chorizo or seasoned taco meat, just to give it that extra kick! -- posted by Food-4-Fun

Vegetable Lasagna

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 10:19:25 -0400

Use a mandolin slicer to get all the veggies paper thin; that way they'll melt into one another, and this whole mixture will become homogenized goodness. Don't let the bechamel intimidate you. This French Mother Sauce is an alchemy of very simple ingredients that become a tremendous sauce through the proper application of heat. Just don't blast either the flour mixture, or the milk, with heat higher than medium, and you should be good. TAKE YOUR TIME, and don't pump up the heat to speed it up. Your patience will be rewarded with a luscious velvety sauce. -- posted by Adam Hayek - Chef #1348906

Double-Dutch Mac & Cheese With Chard

This is a rich and delicious macaroni & cheese from Bon Appétit Magazine (May 2009). You can use any combination of good melting cheeses such as Gruyere, Emmentaler, Fontina, or cheddar. It works with kale, chard, or spinach. If you omit the greens, this also makes a great traditional mac & cheese. If you want a creamier macaroni & cheese, just add a little more milk until you get the desired consistency. -- posted by blucoat

If you can't find the hash browns with onions already in with the potatoes, just saute 1/3 cup chopped onion and add that to the mix before baking. While I use a 4 cheese blend, cheddar cheese alone would be fine also...the cooked cheese makes a delicious crust in the casserole. Frozen hash browns would work too just thaw them before adding to the mix. Perfect for a brunch, we also love it for supper too! -- posted by Chef Learnee

Snobahr's Baked Mac 'n Cheese

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:34:25 -0500

My family adores this, and it reheats quite nicely. This is *NOT* a low-fat recipe. I use cream when I have it on-hand, or a combination of cream and milk. I use whatever cheese I have on-hand, or I will pick up blocks of cheddar and/or Monterey jack, basically anything that will melt nicely. I avoid using the pre-shredded cheese, because they have a dusting of flour to keep them from clumping in the bag, and throws off the recipe in use. Tool cleanup gets interesting, too. I also use whatever small pasta I have onhand - macaroni, rotini, shells, etc. -- posted by SnoBahr

Special note: some people prefer using salt pork when preparing baked beans - I use sliced bacon instead. -- posted by Sue's Kitchen

Tater Tot Casserole

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 16:37:11 -0500

This is a easy meal and is great comfort food! This is an adaptation I got from another recipe to help get my kids (and hubby) to eat more veggies and it works-well most days lol You can always add more veggies that you like or different cheese--its easy to make it just how you like it! -- posted by CanadianGirl80

Savory French Toast Bake

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 16:38:28 -0500

I used to love french toast stuffed with breakfast sausage and cheese, so I came up with this easier french toast bake. Our family loves it! I served it to some friends one time, and one said it was "savory" - hence the name: Savory French Toast Bake. -- posted by matie-k

Chicken or Turkey Tetrazzini

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 22:34:33 -0500

Sometimes we just need simple. Good use for leftovers, kid friendly, fast and easy, freezable and delicious. Beat that. (Note: Can sub tuna, drained.) Oh, don't leave out the parmesan. It makes the dish. -- posted by gailanng

Karen's Casserole

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:06:04 -0500

This is one of my favorite comfort foods, and a Thanksgiving staple. Luckily it is also simple enough to cook any time. My best friend first made it with chicken, to delicious results. It was originally a vegetarian recipe created by my mother, made to go with Worthington "Chic-ketts." It will also work with Worthington "Tender Bits" or other soy chicken products. -- posted by Cooking Flail

Christmas Eve Baccala (Salt Cod With Potatoes & Tomatoes)

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:26:00 -0500

Traditionally, Italians dine on seven different fish and seafood dishes (symbolizing the seven sacraments) on Christmas Eve. (By the way, you don't have to wait for Christmas to make this wonderful dish.) This recipe is typical of the Calabrian region of Italy. Have plenty of crusty Italian bread available to scoop up the sauce. And, remember to buy your dried, salted cod (baccala) three days before cooking, so you can prepare it. Buono Natale!! -- posted by Alan in SW Florida

Curried Lentils

Sat, 19 Dec 2009 07:36:13 -0500

Adapted from a recipe at What-a-Crock on Live Journal. If vegetable oil and vegetable stock are used, this is vegan. Whole butter will burn before the spices are toasted; if you do not have clarified butter, use oil. -- posted by DrGaellon

Holubsti--Ukranian Cabbage Rolls

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 00:45:38 -0500

I spent 18 months in central Canada, serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. While I was there, I fell in love with the people and the food, specifically Ukrainian and Filipino food. The cabbage rolls were my favorite, and when I returned to the US, I began searching for recipes, but could never find one that I liked. This recipe comes from me combining elements of two or three different recipes that I found. The resulting recipe is surprisingly easy--if a bit labor intensive. I included instructions to make a sauce, but, if you run out of energy, the stuff in a can works just as well. If I want to do a homemade sauce, I usually do it a day or so in advance., By omitting the meat, this can be a vegetarian dish. By also omitting the sour cream and using margarine instead of butter, it can be vegan. -- posted by CorianneW

Scrumptious Shepherd's Pie

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:54:27 -0500

Many attempts at Shepherd's Pie have been forced down by my willing gastronomical guinea pigs. Some of these attempts didn't even make it that far. Finally, I cracked the code to a delicious, rustic, and authentic (if you use lamb) Shep... that is nothing short of amazing simplicity. -- posted by AlmightyMooX

Turkey Tetrazzini

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:54:22 -0500

This casserole is an American pasta dish that includes a cream sauce, mushrooms, and either chicken, turkey, you can use seafood. It is thought to have been invented in San Francisco and named after the famous opera singer of the early 1900s, Luisa Tetrazzini. A great dish to make using Thanksgiving leftovers. A very flexible dish using what leftovers you have. -- posted by ~Rita~

Shawarma Spiced Shepherds Cottage Pie

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:46:44 -0500

I got this recipe from a local hole in the wall Lebanese restaurant and tweaked it a bit. Best of both the sweet and savory worlds. As a time saver I keep a jar of this spice blend (Shawarma spice blend) on hand and just measure out 2 1/2 tsp of the combined mixture in order to make this recipe. For the frozen vegetables I use a combo of corn, peas, green beans and carrots. -- posted by Banriona Aeval

Food Network Nuevo Latino Chipotle Beef

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 10:07:00 -0500

I do the beef stew part in a crockpot instead of stockpot in the oven. I also steam the butternut squash in the microwave, but you can follow the recipe the way Food Network's Challenge winner described below. I used chipotle peppers in adobo sauce instead of ground chipotle,too. -- posted by janric

Cream of Chicken Enchiladas

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:51:44 -0500

This is a great recipe that a friend of mine has been bringing to office pot-lucks for years. I just got the recipe from him and made it myself. It's a unique and pretty decadent twist on traditional enchiladas. You can adjust the amount of green chiles and jalapenos to your particular taste. This recipe carries a little bite, but is not particularly hot (even using green chiles rated HOT). To pep it up, use 3 cans of green chiles and 2 cans of jalapenos. For potlucks or freezing, double or triple this recipe. -- posted by Chef #1534395
