Been a little slow on the cooking front lately.  It’s sort of a good thing, shows I have been busy!  Going to try to make more of an effort to get a recipe out once a week, I even added it to my calendar!

Last night’s dinner was super good.  We miss the tri-tip back home and the best way I can duplicate it out here is using London Broil.  Cheap and affordable cut of meat.  Sometimes I get scared cooking it because if overcooked, it’s ruined.

Sprinkle the cut of meat on both sides with Chef Merito Carne Asada Seasoning.  Let sit overnight or an hour before cooking.  Grill on each side, 10 minutes.  Keep the heat on medium or will burn.  Let sit for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain and at an angle, thin slices.

Saute in a pan, onions, garlic, bell pepper, salt, pepper and cumin in a pan.  When translucent, toss in a can of rinsed black beans and stir together.

Add the above with any of your favorite burrito fillings, cilantro, cheese, sour cream, etc.  So good, having this for leftovers for lunch on Monday!

We got a new fryer in the house and my husband requested Chicken Fried Steak, so I gave it my best shot.  No recipes for the sides, I just popped some biscuits in the oven, and started water for a pack of powder instant gravy.  Later on I will post a recipe for the works from scratch.  This was easy and simple, my fryer heats up in 5-10 minutes!

Jenny\'s Chicken Fried Steak Recipe

Set your fryer or oil to 360-375 degrees.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Cubed Beef Steaks

Flour Mixture Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Seasoned Salt

Egg Mixture Ingredients:

  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Tablespoon Milk

Set the steaks out until room temperature, salt and pepper on each side.  Set up a dipping station, one bowl with your flour mixture, mix all ingredients well and the other with your egg mixture, beat lightly.

Dip your beef into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then the flour mixture again.  After coating, I set mine directly into the basket…………..

Another cheesy, ooey gooey recipe from my kitchen to yours.  This is a favorite of ours once every couple weeks.  Real good with Yukon Gold Potatoes, but any kind works.  For this recipe because I was in a hurry, I microwaved the potatoes for a minute or so to cook half way so that the time in the oven isn’t as long.  Don’t overcook them if you do this, or you will have mush.  I also left the skins on this time, when I usually peel them.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Ingredients:

  • Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Onion, Diced
  • 3-5 Garlic Cloves, Pressed or Diced Fine
  • 2 Tablespoons Flour
  • 1 Cup Milk
  • 1 Can Chicken Stock
  • 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese
  • 3 Potatoes, Sliced Thin

Saute in some olive oil, the onion and garlic.

When the onions are opaque, add your flour and cook for a minute or so, then add your chicken broth and milk and cook until bubbly and thick.

Add your cheese.

Stir together until nicely mixed in.

Next prepare a section on your counter for an assembly station.  Grab your casserole dish, any size will do, salt and pepper, cheese and potatoes.

I sprayed my dish with Pam first.  Place one layer of potatoes on the bottom of the pan, add salt and pepper.

Next add a layer of cheese.

Repeat this step several times until you have run out of potatoes and cheese.

Pop in the oven for 20 minutes if you cooked the potatoes in the microwave first, or 45-50 minutes if they were raw. Enjoy!

Jenny\'s Giant Stuffed Swiss Burgers

Always wanted to make stuffed burgers. Never had them before and wasn’t sure how it was done, so I did what I thought might work. Here we go…

Ingredients:

  • Ground Beef, Sirloin, whatever you like
  • 1/2 Cup Onions, Chopped
  • 3-8 Garlic Cloves, chopped fine or pressed
  • 2 Tablespoons Italian Parsley
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt & Pepper

This recipe is for 2 people, 2 burgers. If you are having tater tots or fries, get the oven preheated.

Heat a pan with a little olive oil. Cut up the onions, garlic and parsley.

Add the onions and garlic to the pan, saute until translucent. Before removing from the pan, stir in the parsley then add salt and pepper to your liking. Put in a bowl and let cool.

Ingredients

After saute, let cool

Start your BBQ or grill pan then take your ground beef and make four patties, 2 patties per burger. Don’t make them too thick or you will have too giant of a burger. Mine were thin and they still came out humongous.

Make four burger patties

Lay the four patties out and then take the cooled mixture that we set aside previously and place a tablespoon two patties.

Place a tablespoon of mixture on each patty

The picture shows the mixture close to the edges, try and keep it away from the edges, one of mine fell apart a little while cooking. Now take the other patties and place them on top of the other half and press the edges together nicely where you form one giant patty.

End up with two giant patties

Season the patties as you like, I just used salt and pepper. Fry or grill on each side, I did a good 10 minutes on each and they still came out rare. Get your fries in the oven.

Fry on each side, 10 minutes

After they are done cooking, remove and let sit for 10 minutes. I let the cheese melt as it rests.

Add swiss cheese during the resting period

Because of the stuffing in the middle, I only have lettuce to put on. Not pictured, I also but a little butter on the buns and grilled then til crisp. They came out a little rare, but I like it like that.

Can you say yummers! The burst of garlic and onion when you take a bite is devine!

  • 1 14 1/2 oz can sliced green beans (drained)
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 2 T minced garlic (fresh or processed)

Add soup & green beans to beef mixture in the same skillet. Mix until well blended. Your mixture will be somewhat thick. You can leave it this way (which is best) or add 1/4 cup milk to thin it out.

Pour entire mixture into an 8×8 or 9×11 glass baking dish.

Arrange frozen tater tots in a single layer on top of mixture. Bake according to tater tot instructions on pkg. I baked mine at 425 for 20 minutes.

Remove dish from oven, sprinkle shredded cheese over top of tots and bake another 5 minutes or until cheese is gooey and melted. YUM
