 Blue Cheese Steak Sauce



Ingredients:

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/3 pound crumbled blue cheese, divided

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce


Directions:

1. Gather the ingredients.

2. Warm cream in a 1 1/4-quart saucepan by bringing it to a gentle simmer over a medium-low flame. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring as the cream thickens. Stir constantly to prevent the cream from burning or curdling.

3. Add half of the blue cheese. Using a fork, mash and stir the cheese into the cream until a few lumps are visible.

4. Once the cheese has completely melted, add the Worcestershire sauce, stirring constantly to prevent burning. 

5. Continue to simmer 3 to 5 minutes more, until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. 

6. Slowly stir in the remaining blue cheese to incorporate it into the sauce. Turn off the heat and remove the pan from the stove to prevent the cheese from melting completely, which would make the sauce runny.

7. Serve immediately over cooked steak while it is still warm and before the cheese has melted, allowing its flavor to seep into the meat just before serving. Enjoy.

Note: This sauce is also great on baked potato, steamed veggies, pasta & salads.

Easy Shepherd's Pie Recipe

 Shepherd's Pie is an English dish, traditionally made with lamb or mutton. Americans typically make Shepherd's Pie with beef. The English (and Australians and New Zealanders) call the beef dish a "cottage pie". Naming conventions aside, Shepherd's Pie is essentially a casserole, lined with cooked meat and vegetables, topped with mashed potatoes, and baked. 

 Here is a basic recipe for a simple ground beef Shepherd's Pie. The original recipe comes from my friend Frances Hochschild and her mother (thanks Frannie!). We dressed it up a bit with some veggies and Worcestershire sauce. 


1 1/2 lbs ground round beef
1 onion chopped
1-2 cups vegetables - chopped carrots, corn, peas
1 1/2 - 2 lbs potatoes (3 big ones)
8 tablespoons butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt, pepper, other seasonings of choice


1 Peel and quarter potatoes, boil in salted water until tender (about 20 minutes).

2 While the potatoes are cooking, melt 4 Tablespoons butter (1/2 a stick) in large frying pan.

3 Sauté onions in butter until tender over medium heat (10 mins). If you are adding vegetables, add them according to cooking time. Put any carrots in with the onions. Add corn or peas either at the end of the cooking of the onions, or after the meat has initially cooked.



4 Add ground beef and sauté until no longer pink. Add salt and pepper. Add worcesterchire sauce. Add half a cup of beef broth and cook, uncovered, over low heat for 10 minutes, adding more beef broth as necessary to keep moist. 

 5 Mash potatoes in bowl with remainder of butter, season to taste. 

6 Place beef and onions in baking dish. Distribute mashed potatoes on top. Rough up with a fork so that there are peaks that will brown nicely. You can use the fork to make some designs in the potatoes as well. 

 7 Cook in 400 degree oven until bubbling and brown (about 30 minutes). Broil for last few minutes if necessary to brown. Serves four.

This Meatloaf recipe is short on preparation time because all you need to do is combine the ingredients, form them into the meat loaf shape and then put them into the oven until cooked. You can't get much easier than that!
Several of the ingredients for this Meatloaf recipe are optional and you can substitute your favourites for whatever you fancy. The beef can be replaced with pork for instance, or you can use half pork and half beef. Add a little garlic or some different herbs.

The Meatloaf will freeze very well and can be eaten hot or cold. One final tip, if you are short of ideas for a barbecue, prepare as described below but place the prepared Meatloaf on a baking tray that is not too precious and place in an enclosed barbecue.

You will need to keep an eye on the Meatloaf whilst cooking on the barbecue to make sure it does not burn and that it's cooked through, but it should take approximately the same time to cook on the barbecue as the oven. Just before putting it in the barbecue, pour on a can of barbecue sauce - delicious!

KEY POINTS Top Notch Meatloaf Recipe
Preparation Time: 15 mins Cooking Time: 1 hr
How Difficult Easy Freeze? Yes
Servings 4

INGREDIENTS Top Notch Meatloaf Recipe
Metric Imperial
1/2 kg minced beef 1 lb minced beef
50 g bread crumbs 2 oz bread crumbs
1 egg 1 egg
1/2 medium onion - chopped 1/2 medium onion - chopped
1/4 teaspoon marjoram 1/4 teaspoon marjoram
1/4 teaspoon oregano 1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon basil 1/4 teaspoon basil
1/2 red or green pepper, cored, seeded, chopped 1/2 red or green pepper, cored, seeded, chopped
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce - Lea & Perrins 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce - Lea & Perrins
1/3 teaspoon salt 1/3 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon English mustard 1/4 teaspoon English mustard


Ingredients, Set the oven to 180C / 350F / Gas Mark 4. This will give it time to heat up before the Meat Loaf is ready to be cooked. If you are making your own breadcrumbs and have no dried bread, break up a slice or two of bread (brown or white), put the pieces in the heating oven to let it dry out ready to be crumbled.


Mix everything except the meat, Mix the egg, breadcrumbs, onion, herbs, salt, pepper, mustard and Worcestershire sauce (everything except the meat) in a large bowl or pan (probably bigger than you think!). Use a spoon or fork to mix the ingredients, don't overdo it, just enough to mix the ingredients evenly.


Add the minced beef, click to enlarge Add the minced beef to the mixture one third at a time. Combine the minced beef with the mixture using a fork or your hands. This way the mixture will be more evenly mixed.


Place the mixture in a rectangular tin (firm it down with light to medium pressure) and place it in the oven (pre-heated to 180C / 350F / Gas Mark 4) for one hour. It is possible to do without the tin - just shape the mixture into a rectangle with medium pressure. It will retain its shape during cooking, but be sure to put it on a cooking container of some sort because it will drip out the fat from the meat as it cooks.


The cooked Meatloaf, During the cooking the meat will release fat and juices - pour these away after half an hour cooking if you want to minimise the fat content of this meat loaf recipe. Before serving (carve into thick slices) leave the Meat Loaf to cool for about 10 to 15 minutes. It will carve much better if not piping hot.

Tanahmera's Toddler Meatloaf Cupcakes

For kids who refuse to eat
For parents with kids who refuse to eat "normal" meatloaf!

Ok first allow me to state that this recipe was born of necessity. You see, my toddler, (Marcus), refused to eat my meatloaf, not because it sucks, but because it was lacking in sensory appeal, apparently, (he is very artistic). So if you're a mom with the same problem, try this, it works....

* Make your meatloaf the same way as usual.
* Put it in a muffin pan (without the cupcake papers).
* Ice it with ketchup -optional:)

Recipe By Tanahmera
BawCraftWorx
Image from google until I can take one of my actual cabbage rolls.

Tanahmera's Cabbage Roll Recipe:
These are so delicious I never have leftovers. So this makes 24 + cabbage rolls.

Ingredients:
2 Medium or Large heads of Cabbage

Meat Mixture Ingredients:
Equal parts of Extra Lean Ground Beef & Ground Pork, I use 2lbs of each, 
3/4 Cup of Instant Rice (or your own preffered kind)
2 medium-Large fresh Onions chopped
1 Can of Sliced Mushrooms
1 Can of sliced Black Olives
2 Large Eggs
1/4 Cup of Salted Butter (Not Margerine this is to keep the meat tender and give it a sweeter flavor)
1 Tbsp of Oregano
1 Tbsp of Parsley Flakes
1 Tbsp Spanish (Hot) Paprika
1 Tbsp Chives Chopped
3 cloves of fresh grated raw garlic (or 1 heaping tsp garlic powder)
2 tsp of Table Salt
2 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp of Curry Powder
1 tsp of Cayenne Pepper

Sauce Mixture Ingredients:
These mixtures are divided evenly into 2 medium-large roasting pans, that is whats up with the 2, if using 2 of each item, obviously 1 for each roasting pan. If you just want to make 1 smaller bacth with 1 roaster, use 1 of each.
2 Cans of Garlic-Tomato Paste (Hunts)
2 Large Cans Tomato Sauce with Basil added
2 Cans of Tomato Soup (Campbells)
2 cups Heinz Ketchup
2 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil The brand I use is Gallo, but use your own favorite if desired.
2 Large Bay Leaves Per pot to flavor the sauce
I use the same spices listed in the meat mixture so it doesn't taste funny.

Directions:
Preparing the cabbage:
Bring a large stock pot of water to boil.  Add the whole head of cabbage and boil for 5-7 minutes.  Remove to a colander to drain and cool.  Once cooled, cut 1/2 inch off the stem end of the cabbage. Don’t skip this step to boil the cabbage.  It makes all the difference when it comes to rolling them tight enough to stay together because it makes the leaves more flexible.  It is almost impossible to roll a cabbage leaf that has not been boiled since it is too stiff.

While cabbage is boiling, make the meat mixture to save time.

After boiling the cabbage, use a sharp knife to slice the root end off about 1/2 – 3/4 inch up. This will make it easier to remove the leaves. Carefully remove the larger outer leaves, and cut the tough rib out of the stem end in the shape of a V. Coring it like a Giant apple sort of but dont cut all the way down or you will cut through the leaves, hence the V shape, its more like a round cone shape but V gives the angle in which to cut..

Making the Meat Mixture:
In a large bowl, mix all of the other ingredients you are going to stuff the cabage leaves with. eggs, meats, spices rice, and some etc. Do not pre-cook the meat mixture, I use raw ground meat it makes the flavours blend so much nicer and moisturizes the rice.

Making the sauce mixture:
Using a whisk, combine the sauce mixture, in 2 medium-large roasting pans with a lids (Big enough to roast a medium-large turkey).  Spice with any herbs & flavorings you love, I use the same ones listed in the meat mixture so it doesn't taste funny.

Stuffing the Cabage:
Place a geneorus amount of the meat mixture in the center of the cabbage leaf.  Tuck in the sides as you roll and roll tight. You want them to stay together. 
Place the rolls on the tomato sauce in a single layer in the casserole dish, do not let them touch or overlap, they will fuse together.  Repeat until all the cabbage rolls are made and in the roasting pans. Cover with remaining sauce mixture.

The Topping...
After you have covered the cabbage rolss with the sauce, top the sauce with the following before popping into the oven. It will all be blended into the sauce as you peek in on them to keep them moist. :) Remember to divide these ingredients in half, so you have equal amounts for each of the 2 roasting pans/baking dishes.
2 Cups feta Cheese crumbled
2 Cups Old Cheddar Cheese grated
1 Tbsp Chives
1 Tbsp Dill weed

Topping Ingredients:
2 Cups feta Cheese crumbled
2 Cups Old Cheddar Cheese grated
1 Tbsp Chives
1 Tbsp Dill weed

Cooking:
Cover the rosting pans or baking dishes with lids, or tightly with foil so they steam in the oven, softening the cabbage leaves. Place side by side in oven on middle rack.
Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 80-90 minutes. OR Bake in oven at 400 degrees for 1 hour or until done to your liking. Check them a few times to scoop sauce over the cabbage rols, like you would baste a turkey, You don't want them crispy & dry.

Notes: You will need this whole recipe in this amount, and you may want to scale it UP next time, because once your people taste these, they can not get enough and will want more. My people actually verbally argued and physically fought over them, a fork was involved, the forked person deserved it, so you may have to make a secret batch for yourself to stash away in the back of your freezer, and extra for your people for a midnight snack because no one will sleep they will wake up near midnight needing more, I am not joking even a little bit. They go WAY TOO FAST! They Freeze well by the way. :)
