BEEF AND NOODLES
[ad_1]
This simple dish for Beef and Noodles is one your family will love. It’s made in the crock pot and only a few ingredients!

If you love this recipe you must try out Crock Pot Chicken and Noodles! It has over 100 comments and it’s one of our most popular recipes.

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

Beef and Noodles is comfort food at its best! This easy dish is only 5 ingredients and the flavor is amazing. When the weather turns cooler this beef and noodles recipe is one to put on the menu. Making the beef in the crock pot and using egg noodles keeps this dish super simple.

🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- Beef chuck roast
- Cream of mushroom, undiluted
- A packet of dry onion soup mix
- Egg noodles
- Sour cream to garnish
SWAPS

We have also made this with cream of mushroom that includes garlic in it, which we loved. It is hard to find so it works with either.

🍽️HOW TO MAKE

This is a super simple dish to make since it is made in the crock pot. One thing to remember is all roast times will vary. The last time I made it, it took the roast almost 10 hours to be shreddable. So you need to cook the roast until you can shred it.

Full Printable Recipe in Recipe Card below.

📖COOKING STEPS

Step 1
Place beef chuck roast, cream of mushroom with roasted garlic and dry onion mix in a slow cooker. Cook on high for 5 hours or low 7-8 hours. Shred beef.

Step 2
Make egg noodles according to package (I boil mine for around 6 minutes), drain and then add to roast and gravy. Mix well. Serve garnished with a little sour cream.

⭐TIP

This dish is just as good the next day and you can use any noodles you prefer.

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love the texture and taste of these delicious Cinnamon Sugar Butter Swim Biscuits. They are dense but they are moist and have a wonderful flavor. They come together quickly and no rolling pin needed! These are wonderful on a Sunday morning with a cup of coffee.

🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Ground cinnamon
- Light brown sugar, packed
- Buttermilk
- Vanilla extract
- Butter (can use unsalted)

🍽️HOW TO MAKE

These biscuits are actually very easy to make! Doesnt take much to combine the ingredients and top them with the sugar and next up.. the oven!

COOKING STEPS

Step 1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a glass or ceramic 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Add melted butter to the bottom of the dish.

Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, baking powder and ground cinnamon.
Pour in 2 cups heavy cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until combined, don’t overwork the dough. If your dough is dry add more buttermilk. Add biscuit dough to dish on top of the melted butter. Use a spatula or your hands to spread out dough.

Step 3
Cut the dough into 9 squares. You may not be able to cut them all the way through. This will help with cutting later when the biscuits are baked.

Cook pasta according to package directions to al dente and drain well. Combine pasta, eggs, cherry tomatoes, radishes, cucumber, green onions, green pepper, cheese and peas.

Step 2
Toss well with spoon. Sprinkle on celery seeds, salt, basil, sugar and vinegar. Add mayonnaise and mix all ingredients well with spoon. Refrigerate at least 3 or 4 hours to let flavors marry. Makes 8 to 10 servings. This keeps well in the refrigerator and recipe could be cut in half.

LUNCH LADY BROWNIES
[ad_1]
These Lunch Lady Brownies are the best for a reason! If you haven’t tried these.. what are you waiting for?!?!?

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love this recipe because these brownies are incredible! I have never served them that someone hasn’t asked for the recipe. The frosting is the best and takes these brownies to the next level.

🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- Unsweetened cocoa
- All-purpose flour
- Granulated sugar
- Eggs
- Butter
- Vanilla
- Evaporated Milk or real milk
- Powdered sugar
As you can see there are not many ingredients in these brownies! That is always a plus!

🍽️HOW TO MAKE

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9X13 baking dish with foil and spray with a non stick cooking spray. I like to use Pam. Combine cocoa and melted butter in bowl and mix with an electric mixer. Then add flour and sugar and continue to beat together. Next add eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined, but don’t over mix. The batter will be thick.

Step 2
Next spread into prepared baking dish and spread evenly. The batter will be thick, so this may take a moment. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until fork inserted in center comes out clean. It took mine exactly 30 minutes, but all ovens vary.

Step 3
Let cool 15 minutes and add frosting. You will want the brownies warm when you add the frosting. Full recipe in printable recipe card below!

⭐TIP

Add pecans for a real treat! You can also add less sugar to the frosting, see notes in the recipe card.

STORING AND REHEATING

Prep Time 10 minutes

Total Time 38 minutes

Course Dessert

Cuisine American, southern

1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa

2 cups of all purpose flour

2 cups of granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 cup of butter melted

4 teaspoons of vanilla

Frosting Ingredients:

1/4 cup of evaporated milk or real milk I used evaporated

1/4 cup of butter softened

3 cups of powdered sugar

1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9X13 baking dish with foil and spray with a non stick cooking spray. I like to use Pam. Combine cocoa and melted butter in bowl and mix with an electric mixer. Then add flour and sugar and continue to beat together. Next add eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined, but don’t over mix. The batter will be thick.

Next spread into prepared baking dish and spread evenly. The batter will be thick, so this may take a moment. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until fork inserted in center comes out clean. It took mine exactly 30 minutes, but all ovens vary.

Let cool 15 minutes and add frosting. You will want the brownies warm when you add the frosting.

Frosting Instructions

Beat together all frosting ingredients until smooth. Pour and spread over brownies. Let them completely cool before cutting. If you find that your frosting is too thick, you can always add a little more milk to get the right consistency before spreading over the brownies.

I added pecans to my most recent batch and they were delicious! If you like nuts in your brownies add them.
I also only used 1.5 cups of powdered sugar for the frosting and that worked well too.

UNSTUFFED PEPPER SKILLET

One of our most popular recipes is the Stuffed Green Peppers! If you haven’t tried our recipe, you should, it has many 5 star reviews and delicious!

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love how easy this recipe is to make. You can use precooked rice if you to save on some time. This dish reheats well and it has a great flavor. Great for a busy week as you can enjoy this for a few nights in a row.

🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- Italian Sausage
- White onion
- Green peppers
- Italian Style diced tomatoes
- Beef broth
- White rice, uncooked – see notes
- Garlic
- Italian seasoning
- Black pepper
SWAPS

You can easily switch up the meat, use ground beef or ground turkey. If you don’t have beef broth you can use chicken broth.

🍽️HOW TO MAKE

This dish is really easy to make and of our favorites!

Step 1
In large skillet, brown sausage, onion and garlic over medium heat for about 4-6 minutes. Next add in peppers, Italian seasoning and pepper. You may have to drain the fat off of the meat you use, I did’t have to with this sausage.

Step 2
Cook until peppers are beginning to soften, then add both cans of diced tomatoes and beef broth, mix well and bring to a boil. Once the mixture is boiling add in your uncooked rice and continue to boil for another minute or two, then turn down heat, cover and let simmer for 30-35 minutes.

Step 3
I did stir this a few times to ensure the rice was mixed in well with the juices and cooking. Also you will have to check to make sure your rice is cooked, times may vary. Top with cheese if you desire.

Notes:
To make this process easier use precooked rice, you will need 2 cups of cooked rice. I would bring mixture to a boil, let simmer for 25 minutes then add the precooked rice. You could also make rice on the side and serve this dish over rice. Either way it will still be delicious!

⭐TIP

If you read the comments on this recipe people used cauliflower rice and loved it. Other great suggestions in the comments!

Best Classic Meatloaf – The Southern Lady Cooks
[ad_1]
This fantastic homemade meatloaf is a recipe your family will love. A classic meatloaf recipe, tender and juicy, with a wonderful ketchup topping. Try this delicious meatloaf; you won’t regret it.

You can’t have meatloaf without a delicious side of creamy mashed potatoes. This recipe goes great with this dish and don’t forget this creamy macaroni and cheese. It’s a wonderful addition too!

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS MEATLOAF RECIPE

This recipe is made with quick-cooking oats, which we feel give it a great texture and help bind it really well. It also helps keep the meatloaf moist and that is always a plus! This recipe has been in our family for many years and my Grandmother made it every family reunion.

🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- Hamburger
- Onion
- Celery
- Green Pepper
- Pepper
- Salt
- Garlic Powder
- Ground Cumin
- Chili Powder
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Few drops of hot sauce
- Quick Cooking Oats
- Milk
- Ketchup
- Cooking spray
SWAPS

These are not really swaps, but if you don’t like onions you can leave them out, same with the green pepper. Personally all the ingredients go well together, but you can definitely make this recipe your own.

🍽️HOW TO MAKE MEATLOAF

We make our meatloaf in a casserole dish, you can make it in a loaf pan if you like. We feel it works well in a dish but it’s just personal preference. It may change the cooking time in a loaf pan so be aware of that.

COOKING STEPS

Step 1
Combine all ingredients except ketchup and make into a loaf.

Step 2
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until meat is no longer pink.

Step 3
Remove from the oven and cover the top of the meatloaf with ketchup and put under the broiler for 3 minutes.

⭐TIPS
Don’t overmix, it will result in a tough meatloaf

We use 85/15 ground beef. You can use what you like but this works well for us and seems to hold together well and we love the taste!

We like to let the meatloaf rest about 10-15 minutes before serving. It helps it not to dry out.

We like making it in a baking pan and feel it does work better than a loaf pan.
RECIPE VARIATIONS

If you have followed our website for any amount of time, you know our Brown Sugar Meatloaf is one of our most popular recipes. We agree with you.. it is FANTASTIC.. but this meatloaf is great too. You should try both! If you love hearty dishes, try this Hamburger Supreme Casserole, it’s a winner too!

SERVE THIS WITH

As we stated above, this dish is great with mashed potatoes, but if you want to try something new, this Mashed Potato Casserole is always good. This classic Green Beans and Potatoes is a wonderful side dish too, especially with fresh green beans.

❓FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

This meatloaf recipe has no eggs, is that correct?

Yes, we don’t use eggs in this recipe and it has always worked well with the quick cooking oats.

Can I double this recipe?

Yes, you can easily double it. My Grandmother used to make it using 5lbs of ground beef. She just doubled everything to fit and baked it on a baking sheet.

STORING AND REHEATING

Store in an airtight container and just heat in the microwave.
