I LOVE coming up with my own recipes!  This one is SOOOOO good!. Packed full of flavor and easy to make! A perfect dish for 2. 

 I wanted to make something different for our anniversary dinner and so I decided to make something with the ingredients I already had.   This one is definitely a keeper!  The chicken was so flavorful, tender and juicy!  I served it with rice and gravy and corn.

Salt 
Pepper

One Pan French Onion Smothered Pork Chops

Juicy, tender, savory and so easy to make!   You won't be able to stop eating them.  

So, you are making them but what goes with them?  How about nice, creamy mashed potatoes?  For a side dish that sticks to your ribs, try Creamed Corn.  A nice, crisp, fresh salad with your favorite dressing! Add some greens with a green bean casserole!

One Pan French Onion Smothered Pork Chops

Prep Time: 10 minutes   Cook Time: 30 minutes   Total Time: 40 minutes

• 2 yellow onions peeled, cut in half, and sliced into half-moon shaped slices
• ▢3 Tbsp unsalted butter
• ▢1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• ▢1 cup plus 4 Tbsp beef stock
• ▢4 boneless pork chops about 1 – 1 ½ inches thick
• ▢½ tsp kosher salt
• ▢1/4 tsp black pepper
• ▢½ tsp dried thyme


• ▢¼ tsp garlic powder
• ▢2 ½ Tbsp all purpose flour
• ▢4 slices mozzarella cheese
• ▢1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 
• ▢fresh oregano sprigs for adding to pan
  
  Instructions
  
  Preheat oven to 400 F degrees.
   Melt butter and olive oil in a large cast iron or other oven safe skillet, over MED-HIGH heat. Add sliced onions and saute 3-5 minutes, until soft. Add 4 Tbsp beef stock and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes, until onions are extremely tender and golden brown.
  
  
• As onions are sautéing, season both sides of pork chops with salt, black pepper, thyme and garlic powder.  Transfer onions to a plate, do not wipe out skillet. Reduce heat to MED, add a drizzle of olive oil to the skillet if needed, and cook pork chops, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer pork chops to plate.
• Return cooked onions to pan and sprinkle with flour. Stir to coat and cook about a minute. Add remaining 1 cup beef stock and stir often until mixture comes to a boil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Nestle pork chops back into the pan, spooning some of the beef stock over the tops of the chops. Top with  sliced  mozzarella, and a mound of the shredded mozzarella (about a ¼ cup on each chop).
  Add a few sprigs of fresh oregano and add skillet to oven and bake 8-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and gooey.  Before serving, spoon some of the beef stock/onion mixture over the top of the cheese, and garnish with some additional oregano if desired.

Stuffed Peppers

Stuffed peppers is a dish common in many cuisines. It consists of hollowed or halved peppers filled with any of a variety of fillings, often including meat, vegetables, cheese, rice, or sauce.

Stuffed peppers is usually made with green bell peppers but I wanted to try something different. So, I used Red, yellow and orange bell peppers which gave the dish a bit of a sweet flavor.  The peppers were nice and tender!

This is a perfect comfort food recipe and so easy to make!

Stuffed Peppers

4 Large peppers
1 cup boiling, salted water (1 1/2 tsp)
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1/2 lb ground beef
1 cup bread  or cracker crumbs
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tbsp chopped onion

Heat oven to 350F
Cut off the stems of each pepper.  Wash pepper inside and out.  Remove seeds and membrane. 
Cook peppers in salted, boiling water 5 minutes.  Drain.
Mix the rest of the ingredients.  Stuff peppers with meat mixture. Stand upright in small baking dish.
Bake covered for 45 minutes.  Uncover and bake 15 more minutes.

Cheesy Chicken and Rice Casserole (Original Recipe by April Lewin)

 

 I came up with this recipe one cold, winter day back in 2017. A delicious comfort food!

14 oz cubed chicken breast
1 cup cooked white rice (1/2 cup uncooked)
28 oz diced tomatoes
2 cups Italian blend shredded cheese
1/2 tbsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp chopped chives
1 cup chicken broth

Preheat oven to 350. Cube and brown chicken in skillet. Cook rice according to package directions. Mix tomato, 1 cup cheese, basil, oregano, chopped chives and broth in medium bowl.

Once chicken and rice are done, add to tomato mixture; stir.

Pour into oven safe pan (13x9 in pan). Top with 1 cup cheese, bake 50 minutes.

Tuna Noodle Casserole

 

Another wonderful Autumn and winter dish.  Also one from my childhood.

When I whip up my own concoctions, I don’t measure anything.  Keep this is mind when you see a recipe that I am sharing.  The following “recipe”  is how my mother used to make Tuna Noodle Casserole.   I use this recipe when I am in a hurry or have forgotten to take meat out to thaw.  

 I have a different recipe with a lot more and different ingredients than this one.   I make it when I have plenty of time.  

There are many variations of how I make my casserole but this is how I did it this time.  For the soup, I usually do a combo of 2 soups.  This time, I used 2 cans of mushroom soup.  

Pre-heat oven to 350
Cook noodles and soups according to package directions
1 - 1lb bag noodles
2 - 10 oz cans soup (cream of mushroom, cream  of celery, or cream of chicken)
2 - 5 oz cans tuna fish
1 cup Frozen Peas  (optional)
Bread Crumbs (I use seasoned). Season to taste.

Add frozen peas to soup while cooking.  Drain tuna and add to soup.
Once soup and noodles are cooked and drained, combine - soup, noodles, peas, tuna in a pot or bowl and mix.
Sprinkle in some bread crumbs. Pour mixture into baking dish. Cover with more bread crumbs. Bake in oven 15-25 minutes or until top layer is a little crispy.

This is a great, easy dish because you usually have these items in your cupboards or pantry.  The night I made this I was going to make another dish in the crockpot when I realized the crockpot dish was already in use.  So, I looked through my freezer for something else, couldn’t find anything, and thought HMMM….tuna noodle casserole.  And of course, I had everything I needed!

How do you make your Tuna Noodle Casserole?
