Amarillo Grilled Steak

This Amarillo Grilled Steak has a nice flavor that is not to spicy but really enhances the flavor of the steak. Love this marinade! Sometimes I double it and use half to brush on the steak while grilling.

Amarillo Grilled Steak

If you use it for a big sirloin like I have in the past you will have to make more of the marinade. The flavor isn’t overly strong but its very complimentary to the beef.

Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Shallots by Rachael Ray

I watched Rachael Ray make Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Shallots on TV. After watching that show I knew I had to give the recipe a try!

 

I love Brussels sprouts and love finding new ways to make them. Rachael’s recipe is so simple to make and the flavor is divine!

These are DELICIOUS! Even my neighbor’s two year old loves them!

I’ve yet to find a Brussels sprouts recipe I didn’t like, and this one is no exception! This was quick and easy to prepare, and the more I keep typing.. the more I’m craving them now!

Rachael Ray does it again!

How To Make Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Shallots

Making the dish couldn’t be easier.

Just crisp up the bacon in a skillet and then saute the shallots in the bacon grease.

Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan and cook for a few minutes and then add the chicken broth.

Simmer the sprouts in the broth for a few minutes and then sprinkle the bacon over the top and serve.

That’s got to be the easiest side dish in the world. Plus, it’s absolutely delicious!

Delicious brussels sprouts by Rachael Ray. The bacon and shallots are an excellent combination with the sprouts!

Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Brussels Sprouts With Bacon and Shallots
Servings: 4
Calories: 195 kcal
Ingredients
  • 3 slices chopped bacon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 shallots minced
  • 1 1/2 pounds small Brussels sprouts trimmed but left whole
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
  1. Brown the bacon. When crisp, remove the bacon from the pan and drain the fat. Add the olive oil and shallots and saute 1-2 minutes. When the shallots are tender, add the Brussels sprouts and cook for 2-3 minutes on medium high heat until they are soft.
  2. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Cover the pan and turn the heat down to medium low.
  3. Cook for 10 minutes or until tender. Top with bacon and serve.

 

Tips and Tidbits About Brussels Sprouts

I used fresh Brussels Sprouts when I made this dish. However, I think frozen would work just fine.

If you go the fresh route pick out sprouts that are on the small side. They will be more tender and will cook up faster.

In addition to the size, you want to pick out sprouts that seem heavy for their size and have tightly packed leaves.

Avoid brussels sprouts that have yellowing leaves or black spots. Yellowing indicates age and the black spots could be a sign of fungus.

The best sprouts will make the best Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Shallots!

Enjoy!

The worlds best biscuits recipe handed down for generations.

Course: Bread
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Southern Buttermilk Biscuits
Servings: 6
Calories: 365 kcal
Ingredients
  • 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour plus more for dusting the board
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter very cold
  • 1 cup buttermilk approx
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl, or in the bowl of a food processor. Cut the butter into chunks and cut into the flour until it resembles a coarse meal. If using a food processor, just pulse a few times until this consistency is achieved.

  3. Add the buttermilk and mix JUST until combined.

  4. If it appears on the dry side, add a bit more buttermilk. It should be very wet. Turn the dough out onto a floured board.

  5. Gently, gently PAT (do NOT roll with a rolling pin) the dough out until it's about 1/2" thick. Fold the dough about 5 times, gently press the dough down to a 1 inch thick.

  6. Use a round cutter to cut into rounds.

  7. You can gently knead the scraps together and make a few more, but they will not be anywhere near as good as the first ones.

  8. Place the biscuits on a cookie sheet- if you like soft sides, put them touching each other. If you like"crusty" sides, put them about 1 inch apart- these will not rise as high as the biscuits put close together.

  9. Bake for about 10-12 minutes- the biscuits will be a beautiful light golden brown on top and bottom.

Recipe Notes

Do not over bake.

They are generally gone before I can even get any! My family loves them and begs for me to make them.

Fudgy Cherry Cheesecake Brownie Bars
Ingredients
Topping
  • 2 8 ounce packages low-fat cream cheese or 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Brownie
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 6 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
  • 2 cups sugar

Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 350°. Line a 13 x 9" baking pan with foil, letting ends extend a bit over sides. Lightly coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
Topping:
  1. Beat together all topping ingredients in medium mixing bowl until blended and smooth. Set aside.
Brownie:
  1. In a large microwavable mixing bowl, melt butter and chocolate using med power -- about 2 minutes---check every 45 seconds and stir. (Can also do in a saucepan over low heat.) Heat until chocolate is melted and smooth -- stir to make a smooth mixture.
  2. With wooden spoon, stir in sugar, vanilla and salt into melted chocolate mixture. Add eggs, one at a time, stirring briskly after each egg, until well-blended. Stir in flour.
  3. Spoon brownie mixture into prepared baking pan.

  5. Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes or until brownie edges begin to pull away from sides and edges of cream cheese are slightly brown. THE CENTER WILL STILL "JIGGLE" WHEN SHAKEN EVEN WHEN THEY ARE DONE!
  6. Cool in pan on wire rack. When cooled, chill for at least 4 hours before cutting.
  7. After chilling, simply lift out by using the foil that lines the pan. Place on cutting board and cut into squares, and place into individual cupcake/muffin liners.
