GROUND BEEF STUFFED GREEN BELL PEPPERS WITH CHEESE



Ground Beef Stuffed Green Bell Peppers With Cheese image

We had these not too long ago and we both decided that they needed a little more seasoning. We put a little hot pepper sauce on them and they were much better. I would probably include 2 teaspoons in the meat mix the next time that I make them.

GREEN STUFF (LIME JELLO, CREAM CHEESE, PINEAPPLE, COOL WHIP)



Green Stuff (Lime Jello, Cream Cheese, Pineapple, Cool Whip) image

This recipe has been in our family forever. It can be made in many different variations. Cottage cheese instead of or in addition to cream cheese. Crushed pears or mandarin oranges in place of pineapple. The amount of ingredients seem to not matter much because I often forget how much jello or cream cheese, etc to use but it always tastes great. The only word of caution is NEVER use fresh pineapple in jello because it will not gel.

IRMA'S CREAM CHEESE GREEN ONION CHIP DIP



Irma's Cream Cheese Green Onion Chip Dip image

My mom, Irma, passed away 2 years ago, and this was one of my favorite "treats" that she made. She never liked sour cream dips, but she loved cream cheese. She found/made up this recipe before I was born. Christmas, Easter etc., a family party just wasn't a party without this dip and lots of potato chips! When I brought my boyfriend(now husband) to the first family party, he wasn't too impressed with the dip, as he was used to the saltier, stronger tasting sour cream onion soup mix dip. But now he loves it! He uses it on everything when I make it! He likes it on potato chips, of course, but also on hamburgers, hotdogs, bagels, crackers and even veggies. It has a smooth, creamy texture that enhances other foods instead of overpowering them. One of my sisters uses the basic recipe and then adds a can of drained baby shrimp-if you like shrimp, you'll love that. Other family members add garlic or other spices. I'm submitting the basic recipe that Mom used, with my addition of Bon Appetit, as that is my favorite way to do it. I hope you enjoy this as much as our family does! P.S. you can use low/no fat or Neufchatel cream cheese for fewer calories, and it still tastes good.

Categories     Cheese

Time 15m

Yield 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (Philadelphia is best!)
1/4-1/2 cup evaporated milk (you can use regular milk too)
10 -15 green onions
1/2-1 teaspoon Bon Appetit seasoning mix (optional) or 1/2-1 teaspoon beau monde seasoning, mix (optional)
1 (6 ounce) can baby shrimp, drained (optional)
onion powder (optional) or salt (optional)
garlic powder (optional) or salt (optional)
red chili pepper flakes (optional)
dill (optional)
cajun seasoning, etc (optional)

Steps:

  • Put cream cheese in mixer bowl to soften.
  • Clean and remove roots, then slice green onions thinly. Use all the white tips, most of the light green parts, and slice two or three using the dark green tops for some color. It should be 1/4-1/2 c of onion bits, to your taste. Set aside.
  • Start beating cream cheese with mixer, adding milk slowly, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need more or less milk to get the consistency you want.
  • Add Bon Appetit using more or less, to your taste and/or any other spices or herbs you want to use.
  • Add green onions and mix until they're evenly distributed. Taste and add more seasoning or more milk, as needed.
  • If you add shrimp, do it last, so they don't get too broken up.
  • Chill for 1-2 hrs or overnight to let the flavors blend-that never happens at our house, lol, but it does taste better the next day if you can wait!
  • In a pinch, I have used regular onions, chopped fine. I have even used dehydrated onion flakes, soaked in the milk. This is a very versatile and forgiving recipe. Have fun with it!

Honey Bourbon Glazed Smoked Spareribs, with Beer Bacon BBQ sauce and Southwestern Green Chili Mac 'n' Cheese image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 39

1/2 cup bourbon
2/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup diced white onion
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
One 12-ounce bottle of your favorite beer
1/2 cup cooked bacon, coarsely chopped
1/8 cup apple cider vinegar
2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup molasses
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons brisket drippings
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire
Kosher salt and pepper
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup coarse black pepper
1/8 cup Korean chile powder
1/8 cup granulated garlic
Canola oil, for rubbing the ribs and smoker grates
2 racks pork spareribs
1 cup apple cider vinegar, in a spray bottle
Garnish: sliced green onions
4 to 6 cups half-and-half
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chipotle hot sauce
1 teaspoon ground roasted cumin
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup shredded American cheese
1 pound medium pasta shells, cooked to al dente
1 cup diced cooked green chiles
1 cup shredded jack cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
1 cup shredded smoked Gouda
Kosher salt and pepper
2/3 cup toasted buttered breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon Korean chile powder

Steps:

  • For the honey bourbon glaze: Pour the bourbon into a saucepan over low heat; ignite bourbon to burn off the alcohol for about 5 minutes. Add the honey and brown sugar and whisk to thicken. Simmer for another 3 minutes, then remove from heat. Pour glaze into a small bowl and set aside.
  • For the beer bacon bbq sauce: Heat a large pot on high heat, then add the butter and let it melt for 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add the onions and garlic. Saute until translucent. Add the beer and bacon and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Add the apple cider vinegar and reduce by a quarter, then add ketchup, molasses, granulated sugar, brisket drippings, chili powder, Worcestershire, salt and pepper and cook on low heat for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool for 10 minutes, then puree in a blender until smooth, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • For the ribs: Whisk together the salt, pepper, chile powder and garlic powder in a small bowl. Drizzle a little canola oil over the ribs, front and back, then rub the oil in. Holding your hand high, season both sides of the ribs with rub. Be sure to get an even coating on both sides, along with the sides of the ribs.
  • Soak 5 to 6 paper towels with canola oil, then open the smoker lid and place soaked paper towels in the smoker with 1 chunk hickory, 2 small chunks apple wood and a few handfuls charcoal. Light the paper towels. Let the coals burn down for 20 to 30 minutes. Add a couple more chunks hickory, apple and charcoal, then let smoker come up to 250 degrees F. Place a small pan of water on smoker rack, then place ribs in smoker. Let cook 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Add another chunk of each wood and more charcoal; repeat this process every 30 to 45 minutes. At 2 hours into the cooking process, spritz ribs with apple cider vinegar, then spritz every 30 minutes until the third hour of cooking. At the third hour, wrap the ribs in foil and place back on the smoker. At the 4 1/2-hour mark, take the ribs out of foil and glaze with the honey bourbon. Let glaze set in for 20 to 30 minutes in the smoker meat-side up. Let ribs rest for 10 to 15 minutes, then slice. Drizzle ribs with Beer Bacon BBQ sauce and toss. Garnish the ribs with sliced scallions.
  • For the Southwestern Green Chili Mac 'n' Cheese: Meanwhile, heat four cups half-and-half to a gentle boil in a medium-large saucepot. Add the garlic, chipotle sauce, cumin, seafood seasoning and thyme, then add the American cheese, whisking until smooth and melted. Fold in the pasta and green chiles and heat through until lightly bubbly. Add the shredded jack, Cheddar and Gouda. If the pasta is too thick, add in another cup or two of half-and-half to smooth it out. Season to taste with salt and fresh ground pepper. Garnish with toasted buttered breadcrumbs and a sprinkle of Korean chile flakes.
  • If you prefer baked mac 'n' cheese, place pasta into a casserole dish, sprinkle a handful of extra Cheddar and jack cheeses on top and bake at 350 degrees F until browned and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

GREEN JELLO WITH COTTAGE CHEESE AND PINEAPPLE



Green Jello with Cottage Cheese and Pineapple image

I don't know where Grandma got this recipe. It, and many like it, were popular back in the 1950's and 60's. It may have originated with the Jello Company. Every church supper and family gathering had a similar dish and everyone had their variations. This was one of my Grandma's favorites.

GREEN BEANS WITH CHEESE AND BACON



Green Beans with Cheese and Bacon image

I found this among some recipes my husband's aunt sent me. I tried it once, and it became a family favorite immediately. I save it and use it in the summer when beans are freshest. Then we always have something to look forward to each summer. I often double this recipe just to have enough for my children to have leftovers! You can prepare this ahead of time, but make sure that the casserole is at room temperature before baking. I often use a mixture of both green beans and wax beans in the casserole.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds red beets, tops removed and scrubbed
8 ounces baby Chioggia beets, tops removed and scrubbed
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons grapeseed or safflower oil
3 tablespoons pure honey
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon plus 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
1 green apple
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, coarsely crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
2 cups sprouts or microgreens, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place red beets in a baking dish just large enough to hold them in a single layer and add enough water to come three quarters of the way up sides of beets. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and drizzle with grapeseed oil. Cover with foil and bake until tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Transfer beets to a cutting board. When just cool enough to handle, remove skins, cut into 1/4-inch slices, and transfer to a bowl.
  • Meanwhile, place baby beets in small saucepan and cover with 2 inches cold water. Add 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 25 minutes. Drain beets; when just cool enough to handle, remove skins; cut into halves or wedges, depending on size; and transfer to another bowl.
  • Whisk together honey, olive oil, and 3 tablespoons lemon juice; add 1 teaspoon salt and season with pepper. Reserve 1/4 cup dressing; divide remaining dressing between bowls of warm beets; toss beets to coat.
  • Halve lemon and squeeze juice into a bowl of cold water; drop lemon halves in it. Peel apple, cut into small pieces (you should have about 1 cup), and submerge in lemon water. When ready to serve, drain apple and blot dry. Arrange beets on a serving platter and drizzle with reserved dressing. Top with apple, goat cheese, and sprouts and serve immediately.
