All in Beef
Good food can take time but this slow cooker flank steak with pasta is definitely worth it in the end. Made with tender, shredded beef, in a rich homemade tomato sauce, this cozy recipe requires just a few minutes of prep and is perfect for a weeknight meal.
Our company hosts a chili cook off every year - this was our entry into this year's chili cook off! We're calling it our Slow Cooked Smoked Bourbon Chili. Made with mouthwatering, sweet pecan smoked meats and a splash of bourbon for an extra kick, it's the thick, hearty, saucy chili we all know and love with an extra burst of flavor!
It doesn't get any more fuss-free than this. This is the most hearty, mouthwatering, creamy slow cooker kielbasa and potatoes ever! All you need are 5 ingredients and 10 minutes of hands-on prep time and your slow cooker will take care of the rest! While I like to serve this delicious dish over a bed of arugula and spinach, it's chock full of savory goodness all on its own and can be served as a main dish or as an appetizer.
Keep calm and curry on with these delicious beef curry puffs! These oven baked beauties are great as appetizers or snacks. They're savory, a little bit sweet, and filled with fragrant curried beef tucked into a flaky, crisp crust.
Tender cubes of potatoes and onion are tossed with kielbasa and baked until golden and crispy in this savory kielbasa, potato, and arugula salad. This versatile recipe works as a quick snack or an easy weeknight dinner.
If there's one dish that Chris and I love to make together, it's this Udon and Steak Noodle Bowl. The inspiration for this dish came when Chris described a dish that he had when he was younger. Based on what he could remember about the ingredients and flavors, we set out to re-create the dish. This meal hits all the bold flavors you could crave in a weeknight meal and has since become a part of our meal rotation. A bed of udon noodles drizzled in sweet and tangy sauce cradles fresh arugula and crisp bean sprouts, while tender, perfectly seasoned, juicy steak tops it off.
This isn't your ordinary mac and cheese. It's still the unapologetically cheesy, carby deliciousness that you know and love, but combined with the hearty spiciness of chili. If you like chili, and you like mac and cheese, you'll go crazy for this chili mac and cheese.
Tender beef, soft tofu, some scallions, and just the right amount of sauce over a bed of white or brown rice is a quick, and totally satisfying meal for any day of the week!
