    Beef Stroganoff with ground beef. It turned out great. Even MFR who seldom says anything more than “it’s ok.” Said it was really good and had seconds. Our guest took some home for tomorrow.

    The recipe is:

    I added a little Worcestershire sauce, 2 cloves of garlic and more smoked paprika than it called for. It was a big hit. Do use egg noodles, not pasta.

      OK, I'm going all Minnesooota tonight with....

      HOTDISH! Will update. It's essentially ground meat and onions topped with mushroom soup mix, then cheese, then tater tots.

            No, all I had was cream of. Don’t think it would have mattered much. Came out kind of soupy and uninteresting.

              @Mik thanks for the heads-up. I'll pass.

              Mrs. George is not a fan of cheesy stuff, so this is a non-starter for us. FFS, she won't even eat a freaking cheeseburger. I'm shocked we're still married.

                It wasn’t bad, just kind of dull. Maybe it needed some flour.

                  Smothered Pork Chops

                  6 boneless thick cut loin pork chops
                  2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
                  1 tablespoon salt
                  1 tablespoon garlic powder
                  1 tablespoon black pepper
                  2 tablespoon onion powder
                  1 tablespoon dried oregano
                  1 tablespoon dried thyme
                  1 tablespoon adobo
                  1 large onion, sliced
                  2 cloves garlic, minced
                  4 tbs butter
                  4 cups potatoes, sliced very thin (mandoline is recommended)
                  1 can (10.75 oz) cream of mushroom soup

                  Take your pork chops and season them with salt, pepper & all other seasoning until evenly coated. (you can mix all seasoning ingredients together in a small bowl prior to coating chops) , set aside.

                  Butter a 2-quart baking dish

                  Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat & melt 2 tbs of the butter in the pan, add in your minced garlic, then add in your seasoned pork chops.

                  Cook them until browned on both sides, remove and set aside.

                  Add the remaining 2 tbs butter to the skillet and add the chopped onion, cook until soft.

                  Add the condensed soup to the cooked onions and gradually stir in the milk, set aside.

                  Slice potatoes and place in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.

                  Place cooked pork chops on top of potatoes, then pour soup mixture over the chops.

                  Make sure everything is even in the baking dish.

                  Cover and bake at 350F for 30 minutes.

                  Remove the cover and bake for an additional 40 minutes.

                  Sprinkle lightly with parsley if desired.

                  =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

                  I only made two chops and ended up wasting most of the seasonings.

                  The pork chops were WAY overcooked.

                  See where it says "add milk?" Yeah, it's not in the ingredients, so I just threw in some milk.

                  Yeah, golden mushroom, of course.

                  Potatoes were OK, but had a bit of a boiled texture to them.

                  The liquid turned out kind of watery.

                  Won't do again.

                    Anybody like cole slaw? This is an excellent easy dressing recipe. Takes like two minutes and the lemon juice makes it really fresh. I used cider vinegar.

                      This was good tonight. I had a bag of small sea scallops in the freezer that looked a bit the worse for wear, so I defrosted them. They were fine. I added the scallop water to the pasta after it was cooked and drained. Very tasty.

                        Making pork chops in golden mushroom soup tonight. Just pork chops, soup, 1 c water, garlic and Italian seasoning. Threw in just a touch of liquid smoke for interest.

                        MFR is delighted. Are all redheads like this?

                            It's a gray, chilly day, so a big pot of Midwestern chili is in order. I chopped up rib steak instead of ground beef and used much more spices than this recipe called for, but it uses a quart of tomato juice, which is how my mom and MFR's used to make chili. I usually make more of a Texas style, no beans, and she's been requesting this.

                            Pretty basic, and I only marginally followed it, but it tastes pretty good. Might put some cooked pasta in it later since her mom made it that way.

                            Serve it with some hard rolls and butter, a big cold glass of milk. A favorite dinner.

                                Tonight, I'm making one of The Princess's favorite dishes by her favorite chef, Alison Roman. MFR is out tonight at a show, so I can cook whatever I want.

                                Skillet Chicken with Crushed Olives and Sumac. I have the cookbook on Kindle, but it's so easy.

                                      I do too. Bought the big one first, now have all three sizes. Only product I ever bought from Shark Tank.

                                        Hard to get skin like that. So good!
