Notes

Recipe from The Pioneer Woman.

Start with a thick marinara sauce. I used The Pioneer Woman brand that was sent to me.

If you can’t find it, any brand marinara, around 20-24oz, will work.

Spread half the jar of pasta sauce on the bottom of a large baking dish.

Spread to cover the entire bottom evenly.

In a large mixing bowl add ricotta, 1 cup of Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, and drained spinach and stir until blended.

Spoon approximately about 1 tbsp mixture into each pasta shell.

Place the shells in the prepared dish.

Repeat until the dish is full.

Pour the remaining 1/2 jar of pasta sauce on top of the shells, spreading to cover.

Sprinkle on 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

Serve hot and enjoy!

Crock-Pot Homestyle Lasagna

Nicole Hood — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 23:00:40 +0000

Looking for a hearty, kid friendly winter meal idea for dinner this week?

Make the ultimate Italian comfort food dinner: Cheesy Homestyle Lasagna, in the Crock-Pot!

This recipe makes enough for the whole family plus you’ll have leftovers!

It’s so easy to prepare in advance and let cook on low in the Crock-Pot all afternoon.

Crock-Pot Homestyle Lasagna

Makes 9-12 servings

Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 large yellow onion diced
3 cloved garlic diced
2 jars marinara sauce
1 box lasagna noodles
2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
1 16 oz tub ricotta
1 tsp Italian seasoning
olive oil for sauté

Instructions

In a large skillet cook onions and garlic in olive oil until softened.
Remove from pan then add in beef. Crumble and cook over medium heat until browned.
Drain then add in cooked onion mixture, 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning, and one jar of marinara sauce. Stir.
In a bowl add ricotta, 1 1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning. Stir until smooth. Set aside.
Spray the bottom of a crockpot with non stick spray.
Cover the bottom with a thin layer of the meat sauce.
Add a row of lasagna noodles, 3 or 4 depending on the size of your Crock-Pot.
Top with a few spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture. Spread to cover the noodles.
Add the meat sauce on top, spreading to cover.
Repeat for about 3 more layers ending with the meat sauce.
Pour the other jar of marinara sauce all down the sides and top of the lasagna.
Top with the remaining Mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.
Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours.
To serve cut into squares and scoop onto plates.

In a large skillet cook onions and garlic in olive oil until softened.

Remove from pan then add in beef. Crumble and cook over medium heat until browned.

Drain then add in cooked onion mixture.

Stir in 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning and one jar of marinara sauce. Stir.

In a bowl add ricotta, 1 1/2 cups Mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning. Stir until smooth. Set aside.

Spray the bottom of a crockpot with non stick spray.

Cover the bottom with a thin layer of the meat sauce.

Add a row of lasagna noodles, 3 or 4 depending on the size of your Crock-Pot.

Top with a few spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture. Spread to cover the noodles.

Add the meat sauce on top, spreading to cover.

Repeat for about 3 more layers.

End with the meat sauce on top.

Pour the other jar of marinara sauce all down the sides and top of the lasagna.

I have found using 2 whole jars of sauce keeps the lasagna from getting dry or too crispy on the edges.

Top with the remaining Mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.

Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours.

How amazing does this look?!

Cut into squares right in the Crock-Pot. Depending on how big your servings are you can do 9-12 squares.

Each square is a big, hearty meal!

To serve: cut into squares and scoop onto plates.

Dinner’s ready!

Home Alone Stouffer’s Copycat Macaroni and Cheese

Nicole Hood — Sat, 23 Dec 2023 21:51:18 +0000

It’s Christmas season and of course we are watching our favorite Christmas movies every night! Home Alone is tonight’s choice, so I created a dinner inspired by Kevin McCallister’s Christmas Eve meal, macaroni and cheese, in the movie. This Stouffer’s Copycat Mac and Cheese turned out just as creamy and delicious as the frozen microwavable original- maybe even better! Make this comfort food dish tonight and have a Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal!

Home Alone Stouffer's Copycat Macaroni and Cheese

Makes a large 9x13 pan full or approx 6 dinner servings

Ingredients

16 oz box Elbow Macaroni Pasta uncooked
1/4 cup 1/2 stick butter, unsalted
2 cups Cheddar cheese shredded
1 cup Gruyere cheese shredded
3/4 cup sour cream
10 oz can condensed cheddar cheese soup
2 tsp yellow mustard
salt and black pepper to taste
2 Cups of Milk

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add elbow pasta and cook for 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Add butter to a large skillet and melt over medium heat.
Stir in soup, mustard, and all seasonings.
Whisk in shredded cheese, a handful at a time, until smooth.
Next, stir in sour cream.
Finally, stir in milk slowly. Whisk until smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in pasta, coating completely.
Scoop into large bowls, put on the "Home Alone" movie, and sit down and enjoy.

I picked up a microwave Stouffer’s meal similar to what Kevin ate in the movie so I could compare my recipe.

Start by gathering your ingredients. I think the cheese soup, cheddar, sour cream, and mustard (or mustard powder) are a must for this copycat recipe but the addition of gruyere had me on the fence.

It definitely made it creamier and richer but slightly different. So I’ll leave that as an optional ingredient if you want to change it up!

Add butter to a large skillet and melt over medium heat.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add elbow pasta and cook for 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Stir in soup, mustard, and all seasonings.

Whisk in shredded cheese, a handful at a time, until smooth.

You can either use all cheddar cheese or substitute 1 cup of shredded gruyere cheese for a richer, nuttier flavor!

Next, stir in sour cream.

Finally, stir in milk slowly. Whisk until smooth.

Remove from heat and stir in pasta, coating completely.

We made a container of Stouffers mac too so we can compare.

They were close except the microwave version wasn’t as creamy and the gruyere in my first batch had a richer flavor.

But so, so good!

Creamy, cheesy, and delicious!

Scoop into large bowls, put on the Home Alone movie, and sit down and enjoy.

Oktoberfest Pork Jager Schnitzel

Nicole Hood — Tue, 03 Oct 2023 07:05:13 +0000

Have you ever been to an Oktoberfest fall celebration? It’s an annual German festival that many cities across the world celebrate this month.

There’s always a lot of music, beer, and great German food!

We have been to many Oktoberfest celebrations including my favorite in Helen, GA. One of my favorite things to eat at the festival is Pork Jager Schnitzel. It is a breaded, juicy pork tenderloin with a rich gravy that is served over egg noodles. Talk about amazing comfort food! Our local Aldi carries frozen pork schnitzel so I created this semi homemade recipe using their pork and gravy mix.

Check out the recipe below.

Pork Jager Schnitzel

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

4 large frozen Pork Schnitzels breaded pork loin, I used Deutsche Kuche brand from Aldi
1/2 cup butter divided
8 oz mushrooms sliced
3/4 cup white wine
2 pkgs low sodium brown gravy mix
10-12 oz pkg egg noodles cooked
1 tbsp parsley chopped
1 /2 lemon thinly sliced

Instructions

In a large sauté pan, heat 5-6 tbsp butter over medium high heat until bubbly.
Place the four schnitzels in the skillet and cook about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Remove to a paper towel lined plate and drain. Keep covered to stay warm.
Add the remaining butter to the pan and add in mushrooms. Cook over medium heat until softened.
Add wine to the mushrooms and simmer until reduced by half.
Meanwhile prepare the gravy mix per package instructions.
Add cooked gravy to the mushroom mixture and stir to combine.
Add the schnitzel back to the pan with the gravy and remove from heat.
To plate: add warm egg noodles to a plate then top with one pork schnitzel and a ladle or two of mushroom gravy sauce.
Garnish with parsley and a couple slices of lemon. Repeat with remaining schnitzel and noodles.
Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

Recipe adapted from Aldi brand Deutsche Küche.

Start by gathering your ingredients.

I purchased just about everything from Aldi.

During the month of October they have a lot of extra German Oktoberfest themed foods like breaded pork tenderloin and Spätzle .

This brand is from Aldi and is in the frozen section.

There are 6 large breaded pork loins in the box.

You can use any egg noodle you want but I am partial to this No Yolk brand.

Cook noodles according to the package. Drain and set aside.

In a large sauté pan, heat 5-6 tbsp butter over medium high heat until bubbly.

Place four schnitzels to the skillet and cook about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove to a paper towel lined plate and drain. Keep covered to stay warm.

Add the remaining butter to the pan and add in mushrooms. Cook over medium heat until softened.

Add the wine to the mushrooms.

Simmer until reduced by half.

Meanwhile prepare the gravy mix per package instructions.

Add cooked gravy to the mushroom mixture and stir to combine.

Add the schnitzel back to the pan with the gravy and remove from heat.

To plate: add warm egg noodles to a plate then top with one pork schnitzel and a ladle or two of mushroom gravy sauce.

Garnish with parsley and a couple slices of lemon. Repeat with remaining schnitzel and noodles.

Serve warm and enjoy!

130+ Snow Day Comfort Food Recipes To Warm You Up!

Nicole Hood — Fri, 20 Jan 2023 22:38:23 +0000

BRRRRR! It’s freezing here in the Midwest and we are expecting another snow day next week. Snow days are my favorite since I grew up in Florida and never even saw snow until I was an adult. My kids, husband, dogs, and I love getting bundled up and sledding down the hill in our yard, making snowmen and snow angels, and, of course, having a snowball fight! After playing in the snow though we’re always tired and cold, so for lunch and dinner I have a few favorite comfort food recipes I cook up while we warm up by the fire and watch a movie.

Today I’m sharing over 100 of my favorite comfort food recipes perfect for warming you up on cold and dreary snow days.

I’ve included all the soups and casseroles we love and also delicious drinks and decadent desserts you will enjoy on even the coldest of winter nights!
