Herb-infused Chicken & Bell Peppers Casserole
I LOVED this… I had to make it my own, so I made the cream cheese layer (with splenda blend) and tried variations to it by spreading a layer of either apricot, blueberry, blackberry or strawberry sugarfree preserves over the cream cheese then finishing off with the crescent dough and butter and splenda blend sprinkled on top… OMG, I had to make this 3 times in 2 days due to so many people loving it over the holidays!!! No one could guess it was sugarfree.. the fruit topping over the creamcheese really gives it kick! My fav were the blueberry ones, and the apricot… with the apricot I crushed 1/2 C of pecans and sprinkled those over the top with cinnamon and splenda blend.. that was sheer heaven. Even better the next day if thats even possible! I am thinking about trying this with a variation of no sugar, but using a packet of hidden valley ranch powder and bacon and maybe some sundried tomatoes… maybe butter and parmesan on top?… I will let you know!

1/2 lb broccoli, (about 3 cups), chopped into bite size pieces

My entire family is smitten with this recipe. If it were up to them, it’d be on our dinner table every single night! Trust me, once you try it, it’ll quickly become a favorite in your household too. Here’s how to whip up these delightful chimichangas:
1 pound ground beef
1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
3 cans (8 ounces each) tomato sauce (keep divided)
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
12 flour tortillas (10 inches in diameter), warmed
1 can (4 ounces) green chilies, chopped
1 can (4 ounces) jalapeño peppers, chopped
Oil for deep frying
1-1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
In a spacious skillet over medium heat, cook the beef until it’s fully browned. Ensure there’s no pink hue left, then drain the excess oil.
Mix in the refried beans, onion, 1/2 cup of tomato sauce, chili powder, garlic, and cumin into the beef.
Lay out the warmed tortillas. For each, spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the beef mix slightly off-center. First, fold the tortilla edge closest to the filling over the mixture. Next, fold both the left and right sides, and then roll it up. Secure each chimichanga with toothpicks to keep them from unraveling.
In a separate saucepan, bring together the chopped chilies, jalapeño peppers, and the remaining tomato sauce. Warm them up together, ensuring the mixture is heated evenly.
Using an electric skillet or a deep fryer, heat about an inch of oil to 375°F. Carefully place the chimichangas in, frying them for about 1.5-2 minutes on each side until they turn a rich golden brown. Once done, transfer them onto paper towels to drain any excess oil.
As a final touch, generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Pour the spicy sauce over or serve it on the side, as preferred.
Indulge in this family classic with all your heart. Enjoy!
That sounds absolutely mouthwatering! Roasted Parmesan Creamed Onions is a luxurious and rich side dish that would elevate any meal. The balance of the natural sweetness of the caramelized onions with the savory cream and parmesan makes it a dish that’s hard to resist.
Onions are often considered a foundational ingredient in cooking. They’re part of the aromatic holy trinity in many cuisines worldwide, together with celery and bell pepper or carrots, depending on the cuisine. When treated as the main ingredient, like in this dish, their true potential is realized. The transformation they undergo during roasting, as they become sweet, tender, and slightly smoky, is nothing short of culinary alchemy.
And when you add the creamy richness of the Parmesan sauce, it’s like gilding the lily. The garlic powder adds another layer of flavor and helps amplify the taste of the onions. The wine brings a little acidity to balance out the richness and gives an extra depth of flavor.
So, whether it’s Thanksgiving, a family gathering, or just a dinner where you want to bring something special to the table, this Roasted Parmesan Creamed Onions dish is an excellent choice. Not only is it delicious, but it also looks impressive and adds a touch of elegance to the meal.
