Simple Tex Mex Black Eyed Pea Casserole, comfort food New Year's dish baked with cheese, rice, bacon, spinach and tomatoes. Photographs included. recipe box
I originally found this taco casserole recipe in a Taste of Home magazine. Since then, I have made this recipe at least 50 times. I love it because the ingredients list isn't complicated and, based on the layers, I can readily remember all ingredients when I am at the store without my recipe card. I have served this for myself and had wonderful leftovers or many times I have made it for company with a nice green salad to accompany it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Ground beef and a veggie medley simmer in creamy sauce, topped with crispy bites of potato. This one offers more comfort than your pajamas and a good book combined.
Finally, you don't have to plan a day ahead to get the flavor of a hot-out-of-the-oven strata. Make this cheese-alicious dish your go-to for spur-of-the-moment brunches.
Adapted from Martin Yan's Chinese Cooking for Dummies. This is my favorite stir-fry sauce. It makes enough for two meals. Having extra on hand makes for a quick meal. My son will actually eat vegetables he can dip in the sauce! WARNING about the amount of soy sauce. When I used Kikkoman soy sauce, I found this sauce far too salty. I now use Angostura, which is much lower in salt. When adding soy sauce, start with less than half the amount and slowly add more to taste. Using vegetable broth makes this vegetarian. Yield: 1 3/4 cups (couldn't get that amount entered)
