Shepards pie

So this is basically just regular Shepards pie with a bit of enhanced flavour.

You will need:
6 large potatoes
2 pounds of lean ground beef
2 cans of mixed, frozen or fresh veggies (peas, corn, carrots, etc)
3 large cloves of garlic, chopped finely
BBQ seasoning
Celery salt
1/4 cup of onion, finely chopped
Caesar dressing (Renee's)
Ranch
Butter
Milk

Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them in quarters for quick cooking. Boil them until soft.

While the potatoes are boiling, cook the ground beef with the onion and garlic in a large skillet until browned.

Add beef to large baking dish and mix with some Caesar dressing (be generous in coating the meat) and add the veggies and mix it together.

Drain the water out of the pot of potatoes once they are cooked, add 1 table spoon of butter, 1/8 cup of ranch and a splash of milk and mash together. If they are not creamy enough, add some more ranch.

Add mashed potatoes on top of the meat and veggies and smooth out. Sprinkle some BBQ chicken seasoning on it for extra flavour and broil in the oven until the potatoes are lightly browned on top.

Serve with fresh garden salad an enjoy!

Pierogies and Scrambled Eggs

Image
I absolutely LOVE pierogies, but I've always made them the same way; boil and then fry them. So this time, I decided to try something new, and pair them with some scrambled eggs for breakfast (or lunch). You will need: Ready-made pierogies (or home made, if you prefer)\ BBQ chicken seasoning Garlic salt Celery salt Two eggs (per person, I only made for me :P) 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese Butter or Pam for greasing the pan First, boil the pierogies until they are soft (cooked inside and no longer frozen). Grease a baking pan and place the pierogies on the pan. Sprinkle with chicken, celery and garlic seasoning on both sides and top with some mozzarella cheese. Broil for a few minutes, until the cheese is melted and pierogies have become slightly browned.  To make the eggs, crack them and put them in a small bowl, add a splash of milk, some BBQ seasoning, and the rest of the cheese, and mix until the eggs are all mixed together. Put in a frying pan stirring often to...

Cream cheese stuffed, bacon wrapped pork loin

Image
This is comfort food; there is nothing healthy about this.  I had a pack of nine of those small boneless pork loin chops and decided to do something super unhealthy with it! For 9 rolls, you need: 9 chops 1 package of garlic and herb cream cheese 1/2 cup of sweet BBQ sauce  1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese  1 teaspoon of garlic salt 1 pack of bacon Begin by tenderizing the meat to flatten it out. You can use whatever tools you have that work to do this; a meat tenderizer is ideal though.  Mix the cheese, cream cheese and garlic salt together in a bowl.  Spoon about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into the centre of each pork chop, and roll it up. Coat it in BBQ sauce.  Wrap two slices of bacon around each pork chop roll.  Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through. If the bacon is not sufficiently crispy, put the oven on broil for a few minutes.

Garlic Basil Chicken with Tomato Butter Sauce (stolen and revised)

So I started off cooking this meal exactly as the recipe stated, but I didn't have all the exact ingredients, and the flavours just weren't where I wanted them to be, so I made some changes. I'll post the link to the original recipe, and then write out what I did below. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures this time! The only downfall of this recipe is that it's a bit time-consuming. However, you could always cook the chicken ahead of time, which would help. Original recipe is here . INGREDIENTS 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts salt and pepper 2 tsp garlic salt 2 tsp lemon pepper 2 tsp paprika 1/4 cup of half&half cream ¼ cup olive oil 5-6 roma tomatoes, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 small white onion, minced 3 tbsp dried basic  ¼ cup margerine 8 ounces pasta, like spaghetti, linguine, or bucatini (I used spaghettini) 1/2 cup of mushroom Ragu (if needed) INSTRUCTIONS Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and pound each p...
