Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb penne pasta ($0.89)
  • 1 small onion ($0.25)
  • 2 cloves garlic ($0.16)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil ($0.16)
  • 15 oz can diced tomatoes ($0.59)
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano ($0.03)
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil ($0.03)
  • pinch red pepper flakes (optional) ($0.02)
  • 1/2 tsp salt ($0.03)
  • freshly cracked pepper to taste ($0.05)
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste ($0.11)
  • 2 oz cream cheese ($0.48)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan ($0.42)
  • 1/2 9 oz. bag fresh spinach ($0.50)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender (7-10) minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander.
  2. While waiting for the pasta to cook, dice the onion and mince the garlic. Cook both in a large skillet with the olive oil over medium-low heat until softened and transparent (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add the diced tomatoes (with juices), oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and some freshly cracked pepper to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Stir to combine. Add the tomato paste and a 1/2 cup of water to the skillet and stir until the tomato paste is dissolved into the sauce.
  4. Turn the heat down to low. Cut the cream cheese into a few pieces and then add them to the skillet with the tomato sauce. Use a whisk to stir the sauce until the cream cheese has fully melted in and the sauce is creamy. Add half of the Parmesan to the skillet and whisk until it is melted in. Add the remainder of the parmesan and whisk until melted in again.
  5. Add the fresh spinach and gently stir it into the sauce until it has wilted (3-5 minutes). Add the pasta and stir until it is well coated in the creamy tomato sauce. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm.

HAMBURGER STEAK AND GRAVY RECIPE  | #Hamburgersteakrecipes #Easypeachcobblerwithfreshpeaches #Peachcobblerwithcannedpeaches #Easyfreshpeachrecipes #Cheeseburgerdip #Cannedpeachcobblerrecipe #Hamburgerandgravyrecipe #Smotheredsalisburysteakmeatballs #Recipeswithhamburgermeat #Hamburgersteakgravyrecipe #Hamburgersteakswithoniongravy #Cookingrecipes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pounds ground beef (85% lean)
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp Mc Cormicks Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • 1/4 cup crushed pork rinds* (or 1/4 cup breadcrumbs if not low carb)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp fresh minced parsley
  • 1 tsp oil
  • salt and pepper
Mushroom and Onion Gravy Recipe
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 8 oz sliced button mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp whisky (brandy,bourbon, or rum) (optional)
  • 1 tsp beef base (bouillon)
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

    Preparation:
    1. Make a panade by soaking the pork rinds (or bread crumbs) in 1/4 cup of heavy cream until absorbed - about 10 minutes. Mince the parsley and finely dice the onions.
    2. Method:
    3. Add the ground beef to a medium bowl, breaking it up as you do. Sprinkle the Worcestershire sauce, steak seasoning, and parsley over the beef. Add the soaked pork rinds (or bread crumbs). Mix with a hand mixer until the ingredients are just combined.
    4. Divide the seasoned ground beef into 4 even portions and form into patties. Season the outside with salt and a hefty amount of coarse black pepper. (Lots of pepper gives the hamburger steak a wonderful savory flavor.)
    5. Cook:
    6. Place a large skillet or saute pan over medium high heat. When hot, add 1-2 teaspoons of oil and swirl to coat the pan.
    7. Add the hamburger steaks and cook for approximately 3 minutes per side. Remove the steaks from the pan and cover loosely with foil. Turn the heat down to medium.
    8. If there is not a lot of oil left in the pan, add 1 tablespoon of butter and the mushrooms, stirring to coat all of the mushrooms. Cook for 1 minute. Stir and push the mushrooms to the sides of the pan. Spread the onions in the center of the pan and cover for 1 minute.
    9. Add the beef base and stir. Next, add the whisky and water, stirring to bring up any browned bits that may still be stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add the heavy cream and any accumulated juices from the hamburger steaks. Bring to a fast simmer, reducing the sauce until it thickens. Stir in 1 tbsp of butter to give the sauce a nice sheen. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
    10. Serve the sauce over the hamburger steaks. It's not a lot of sauce, but it's very flavorful and satisfying. Serves 4.
    11. Alternately: After the sauce thickens add the hamburger steaks back to the pan to reheat for a few minutes. Turn the heat down to low and loosely cover with foil. Serve with sauce spooned over top.

    Ingredients

    • Fried chicken
    • 10 ounces boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into cubes
    • 1 whole egg
    • 1/3 cup cornstarch
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
    • 1/2 tsp black pepper
    • Honey garlic sauce
    • 1 tbsp canola oil
    • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
    • 1 tbsp ginger finely chopped
    • 5 tbsp honey
    • 2 tbsp brown sugar
    • 1/2 cup soy sauce
    • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
    • 2 tbsp cornstarch
    • 1/4 cup water
    • 1 tsp sesame seeds optional
    • 1 tbsp green onions optional

    Instructions

    1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed chicken thighs, eggs, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and soy sauce. Mix well and set aside.
    2. To make the sauce, combine the soy sauce, water, honey, and brown sugar in a bowl and mix well. In a pan, heat the canola oil at medium high heat and cook ginger and garlic until fragrant and soft. Pour the soy sauce mixture and let cook by stirring occasionally. While the sauce is slowly cooking, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Slowly add the cornstarch slurry into the pan while constantly stirring the pan. Cook over medium heat until sauce thickens. Add sesame oil and mix well.
    3. To make the fried chicken, whisk together the all-purpose flour and the rest of the cornstarch and add them into the bowl of prepared chicken. Combine well. Heat about 2 inches of frying oil at 375 degrees Fahrenheit and fry the chicken in batches. Fry for about 3 minutes and remove from oil. Place chicken on drying rack for about 5 minutes. Fry the chicken another time for another 2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain off excess oil.
    4. Add the fried chicken into the pan with the cooked sauce and mix well. Top with sesame seeds and green onions.

    • 1/3 cup unsalted butter , cut into 5-6 pieces
    • 1/2 cup whipping cream , cannot be substituted for milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    • Caramel Frosting
    • 3/4 cup unsalted butter , softened
    • 3 cups powdered sugar
    • 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
    • 2-3 tablespoons cream , as needed






    Instructions

    1. Chocolate Cupcakes :
    2. Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Line a muffin pan with muffin papers.
    3. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder & salt.
    4. In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat together the oil, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract (about 1 minutes). Carefully beat in the buttermilk.
    5. Mix in the flour mixture about 1/2 at a time, turning off the mixer and scraping down the sides of the bowl in between.
    6. With the mixer on low speed, carefully beat in the boiling water.
    7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each about 2/3 full.
    8. Bake for 16-19 minutes, or until the tops feel slightly firm to the touch and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
    9. Salted Caramel Sauce :
    10. Add the sugar to a medium saucepan over medium heat.
    11. Heat the sugar while whisking constantly. After a while it will form lumps - then turn into a smooth amber colored liquid.
    12. Gently whisk the mixture until it's smooth and dark amber color. Be careful or else your caramel can burn.
    13. Carefully whisk in the chopped butter until it's fully melted (it will bubble up).
    14. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the whipping cream.
    15. Then stir in the vanilla extract & salt.
    16. Caramel Frosting :
    17. In a large bowl beat the butter until fluffy (about 2 minutes).
    18. Beat in 2 cups of powdered sugar, starting with the mixer on low and then turning it up to medium as it incorporates.
    19. Mix in 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce (you won't need all that you made). It must be 100% cooled before adding it into the frosting.
    20. Beat in the remaining powdered sugar about 1/2 cup at a time, alternating with 1 tablespoon of cream until the desired sweetness and consistency is reached.
    21. Frost the cupcakes using a knife or a piping bag (I used a 1M tip). Optionally, drizzle each cupcake with more salted caramel sauce.
