Hearty Stuffed Shells – Easy Make Ahead Meal

These Hearty Stuffed Shells are very easy to make and they freeze very well. I do a lot of “once a week” cooking. What I mean by that is I cook freezer foods on the weekend and then freeze to have meals during the week.

Hearty Stuffed Shells

I think it’s much better for me than buying all the boxed stuff at the grocery. Kinda’ like my own TV dinners!

I was extremely excited to find this great recipe. I love Italian type foods and stuffed shells are one of my favorites. Well any pasta for that matter!

Whenever I need some for a meal I just take a few out the night before and let ’em thaw in the fridge. Come dinner time I just zap ’em in the microwave.

Dinner is served!

Cajun Spiced Roast Beef – Juicy and Tender!

This Cajun Spiced Roast Beef is slow roasted for two hours in the oven and comes out juicy and tender.

 

Roasts such as rump, chuck or brisket are considered to be less tender than tenderloin or sirloin because they are leaner and have less marbling (layers of fat that occur evenly distributed in the meat).

Marbling makes the meat tender, juicy, and flavorful after cooking.

To compensate for marbling, such roasts can be braised (cooked in a small amount of liquid, covered with a lid, for an extended period of time over low heat). The result is moist, tender and delicious.

Absolutely delicious way to do a pot roast. So easy and tender beyond belief and the flavor is to die for!

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Cajun Spiced Roast Beef
Servings: 6
Calories: 280 kcal
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 - 3 lb. beef roast any cut you like
  • Cajun seasoning my recipe is below
  • 1 T. olive oil
  • carrots, celery, onion and potatoes
Instructions
  1. Rub the toast with the olive oil, then rub with a generous helping of the Cajun spice. I probably used a good 3 T. of the mixture.
  2. Place the roast in a Ziploc bag or covered dish and allow to marinate overnight or at least 6 hours in the fridge.
  3. Cut up the veggies and place in the bottom of a dutch oven. Place the roast and any juice on top of the veggies.
  4. Cover and place in a 325 degree oven for 2 hours. Remove and allow the roast to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Cajun Seasoning

2 tsp.. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 T. garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. thyme

Mix together and store in an airtight container.

Cajun Spiced Roast Beef Tips and Tidbits

I like to use a pot roast for this recipe. Most often a chuck roast. They’re less expensive and when cooked right come out juicy and tender and deliciously flavored.

Because pot roast is a leaner, tougher meat than sirloin, it should be braised at a lower temperature — no more than 300 degrees Fahrenheit — over a long period of time.

A Dutch oven or slow cooker is good options for braising. With both, you can easily add broth, vegetables that go well with beef, such as carrots and potatoes, and whatever seasonings you enjoy.

One hour of low temperature braising per pound of pot roast is a good rule to go by.

Enjoy!

A unique way to cook the tenderest cut of beef to perfection! 

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Pan Seared and Roasted Filet Mignon Recipe
Servings: 2
Calories: 325 kcal
Ingredients
  • 2 8 oz. Beef Tenderloin Steaks – about 2 inches thick – at room temperature rinsed and patted dry.
  • Vegetable oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • Cast iron skillet or heavy bottom pan – oven safe
  • Instant read thermometer
Instructions
  1. Place oven rack in the center position. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
  2. Brush meat thoroughly with vegetable oil on all sides
  3. Season top and bottom with a layer of the kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Be generous. The meat is thick.
  4. Set the meat aside and preheat your pan to medium high heat. It’s ready when a few spats of water dance on the top and quickly dry up. Be sure your oven is preheated before you put the meat into the pan.
  5. Place the meat into the pan. It should sizzle. And it will smoke slightly, so turn on the exhaust fan. Cook the meat for 2-3 minutes or until it becomes brown and has somewhat of a crust.
  6. This side will be your presentation side: the side the faces up on the plate. If it’s browning too quickly or burning, turn the heat down a bit. Turn the meat over and cook for 2-3 minutes until it get brown.
  7. Now brown the sides of the meat, but for only about a minute each. It’s ok if there’s a little bit that you missed.
  8. Once browned, place the pan into the oven and cook for about 5-7 minutes for medium rare. You should check it after 5 minutes, as oven temperature may vary. Use the finger test to check the doneness.
