Panko Garlic Roasted Carrots

  Panko Garlic Roasted Carrots

This is a perfect side dish.  I’m always looking for another one that isn’t potatoes, because you can’t eat potatoes for every meal.  Right?  Who am I kidding, of course you can!  But this is still a great side.

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

  • Enjoy!

Here’s how I make it:

Gather all of your ingredients, why yes, I do keep my olive oil in my grandmothers vinegar bottle.  Peel your carrots and chop them into sizes approximately the same size.  And then combine everything together and pour onto your baking dish.  Bake for about 25 minutes at 400*.

Enjoy!  They are delicious!

Cheesy Beef and Noodle Bake

Cheesy Beef and Noodle Bake

I’ve been going through my 9,873 cookbooks and deciding on what to make as a new to me meal at least once a week.  I cobbled together a few of the casseroles that I found and came up with this recipe.  This was super simple, and delicious.  I can’t wait to make it again.

Here’s how I make it:

Fry your beef with onions until cooked through…..

Meanwhile, boil your noodles….

Drain the beef and onions  – add in your tomatoes and green chilis…..

Pour over the tomato sauce…..

Mix together……

Then add in your cream cheese…..

And your sour cream……

Mix again…..

Add in your drained egg noodles….

Mix…..

Add in some shredded cheese and mix…..

Top with more cheese and bake for 20 minutes until bubbly….

Et voila!

This is SO good.  Denton has already requested that it be doubled next time for many leftovers……

I think I’ll add green or red peppers for the crunch and color next time too.

 

You can find my other recipes here.  Do you need a new baking dish?  Tonight I used my red cast iron dutch oven to make this entire meal – except for the boiling noodles, which if I had thought it through I would have done first and saved myself a pot to wash.

Here’s the handy dandy printable:
