Thou shalt not utter the name Philly, without it's suffix, 'Steak Sandwich.' Hoagie rolls are stuffed with sauteed beef, onion and green pepper, then covered with melted Swiss cheese. These sandwiches are delicious.
Empanadas are Mexican-style pastries filled with meat, vegetables, or even dessert. This family-sized version is known as an empanada gallega. It's served in wedges like a stuffed pizza. Pork Carnitas would also be a delicious filling. Leftovers are best reheated in the oven.
Cornish game hens stuffed with a vegetable mixture, then roasted. A Cornish game hen recipe that I found and tweaked a bit for the taste and size of our small family, but it would be very easy to adjust it to fit your needs. It goes well with oven-roasted potatoes.
A slow cooker casserole version of the beloved Russian verenike or vereniki (little dough pockets stuffed with cheese), this is made in the slow cooker with cottage cheese, lasagna noodles, and ham to give you the flavor without the work of filling all the pastries.
Herb-infused tomatoes tango with garlic, artichokes, and cream a dance that renders pasta sauce with Mediterranean flair. Garnish this Garlic-Artichoke Pasta with your favorite cheese and sliced olives.
In this version of the spicy Mexican soup, beef meatballs are cooked in a broth with carrots, green peppers, garlic, onion, canned tomatoes and seasonings.
Our state is, of course, synonymous with potatoes, so it should come as no surprise that my recipe features good ol' Idaho spuds. This is a meal in itself.
