This savory beef pie is so easy to make and is one of my husband's favorites. The leftovers are perfect for lunch the next day. For added flavor, you could top the potatoes with a cup of shredded Cheddar cheese, if desired.
I use butter and eggs right out of the refrigerator so the dough stays cool and the cookies maintain their thickness during baking; I also use ungreased cookie sheets. To keep the cookies soft and chewy, store them in an airtight container along with a slice of bread.
I was served this cookie at a restaurant in Springfield, MO during a business conference. Went home and made up this recipe which has been a hit at any church gathering when I take them...better than the one I had at the conference.
This kicked-up stroganoff gets a burst of great flavor from picante sauce...it's ready in just 40 minutes, but it's so good, it tastes like you've been cooking all day!
At Craft restaurant in Manhattan, where I work as the pastry chef, I like to send out a small bowl of caramel popcorn as a parting gift to guests. I prefer yellow popcorn; it seems to yield the biggest popped kernels.
Big, spicy Anaheim peppers are stuffed with chicken and cheese, broiled, and served in a savory sauce flavored with chili powder, garlic, cinnamon, and a bit of bittersweet chocolate.
