 Hey guys, welcome back to another week of what's for dinner. My name is Andrea with food and entry adventures in food in My household. There's me my husband and our adorable one-year-old little boy So for dinner tonight, we are having grilled pork chops in baked beans Howard is outside grilling our pork chops and I thought I would show you how I make my baked beans so in my skillet I have five slices of bacon and Some green bell pepper and I just cooked them down and then I am just going to add in my baked beans And I've got that all combined to it. I'm going to add some barbecue sauce You can add whatever barbecue sauce you like I happen to like this one because it is thick and spicy I used to add brown sugar to my baked beans and mustard But sometimes less is more and when I stopped adding those ingredients I really couldn't tell that they were missing so I just stopped using them So I'm just putting in some Barbecue sauce and you'll put as much as you want if I had to guess that's probably a half a cup of barbecue sauce So I'm gonna get this all stirred up and then what you're going to do next is to pour your baked beans into a casserole dish I'm using a nine by nine casserole dish I've got my oven pre-heated to 350 degrees the way that I grew up in my family. We always baked our baked beans I know that some people eat them off of the stove top just like this, but I always you know Eat them baked so I'm gonna pour them into a pan And then I'm going to let these cook on 350 for about 20 minutes 25 minutes until they get all nice and bubbly and I'll be back So here are the baked beans. I baked them for about 25 minutes and the pork chops And this is what I used to season the pork chops I got this from Trader Joe's and First time trying it and turning around so you can see what's in there Brown sugar smoked paprika. So the smoked paprika is pretty strong I'm not a huge paprika fan So it just it's just okay to me Howard likes it. He really likes paprika and the barbecue sauce is this Rufus teague honey sweet and then I made some broccoli slaw Also from Trader Joe's and here's what that bag looks like And I just sauteed it in olive oil and then added garlic salt to it broccoli Broccoli slaw is just the stalk of the broccoli that's been shredded and of course, there's carrots in there So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we'll see y'all next time Hey guys, so for dinner tonight Howard went to a local Caribbean restaurant for those of you They don't know how it is from Jamaica and he likes this type of food And he made sure to tell me it is not actually a Jamaican restaurant It is Caribbean. So he got the oxtail plate and underneath the oxtail There are those are rice and peas and then he got cabbage on the side And then I got rice and peas cabbage, but I am trying brown stewed chicken, which is new for me I've never tried it. Normally when we eat here, I get the jerk chicken, but I wanted to try something different today So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we'll see you guys next time Hey guys, so I am trying out a new recipe for dinner tonight. It is taco pizza I found it in an old cookbook that I bought And it was created by home ec teachers. So in my skillet, I've got one pound of Lean ground beef and some onions. I've cooked them until they were done and in the meantime I also parbaked this thin crust pills very pie crust not pie crust pizza crust and You see it right over here. So that is ready to go So the next thing that I'm going to do is add an eight ounce can of tomato sauce to the meat And I'm going to add in my taco seasoning. So I happen to love Trader Joe's One packet seasons one pound of ground beef So I just took half out and it looks like this just going to sprinkle this in So the recipe also calls for olives and Howard and I neither one of us really care for olives that much So I left them out and I'll make sure to link when I actually link I'll write up the recipe and I'll put it in the description box so that you guys can have it So I'm just stirring this up and I'm going to add it to the pizza crust and Then I'm going to top it with it says a cup of cheddar cheese I have more than a cup because we like cheese So I'm just going to top it and then I'm going to bake it until it's nice and golden brown So here is the taco pizza. I ended up baking it for I think 13 minutes You can see it got a little dark around the edges and normally I use parchment paper I didn't today But I would definitely suggest that you use some parchment paper because it did stick to the bottom of my pan Even though it is non-stick. So this is what it looks like and then this is Howard's plate He dressed his up the recipe suggests adding lettuce sour cream salsa Avocado so he went all in he likes lots of toppings and then I just kept mine plain I'm not big into toppings like that. So anyway, this is what we are having for dinner tonight Oh, and it's good. I forgot to mention that it is tasty. I would definitely make it again So this is what we're having for dinner tonight and we'll see you guys next time Hey guys, so I am trying out a new recipe for dinner tonight It is a crock pot pepper steak and I actually found this Cookbook at the Dollar Tree. This is what it looks like and I will Hold it here so you all can screenshot it because honestly, I doubt that I'm going to type all of the steps I'll just hold it there so you can screenshot it And let me show you what I've done so far. So in my crock pot. I have Flank steak a pound and a half of planks flank steak the recipe called for two pounds of sirloin But this is what I had on hand. I coated my flank steak in cornstarch and then I Browned it in the pan and then I added some garlic powder right on top now the instructions don't call for you to coat the Beef in cornstarch but I did because I tried another crock pot recipe a while back ago and I did that and the meat turned out really Tender so I didn't add that additional one tablespoon that you see right there Because I just added it to the beef and browned it and then in this cup. I have or measuring cup. I have bullion Some water. I also have soy sauce and sugar the recipe called for additional salt And I did not add that and I actually did not have bullion. I had this better than bullion sauteed onion I figured it would work just fine and then in this bowl. I have red and green bell pepper onion and onion and Fresh mushrooms, so I'm just going to add everything to the crock pot and it says to cook on Low for six to eight hours or on high and I'm a low person So I'm gonna put this on low for eight hours and I'll be back Hey, so it's been about seven hours and I just tasted This and it is super bland not a lot of flavor at all. Howard tasted it. He thought the same thing It's bland the meat is tender But you can see that there is not a lot of liquid in here So maybe I should have added the cornstarch, so I'm gonna make a cornstarch slurry And then I've got to doctor this up a little bit. I think I'm gonna add this to the crock pot and Let it cook on high See if that can add some more flavor to it. So I'll be back Okay, so here is the pepper steak and it tastes decent it's okay Would I be in a hurry to make it again? No, because I had to doctor it up in order for it to taste decent I'll probably look for another recipe, but I'm serving it over jasmine rice And then I also stir-fried some fresh broccoli in olive oil And then I used this to season the broccoli with it is so good And let me just show you the pepper steak in the crock pot. So here it is. We've got plenty for leftovers So this is what we're having for dinner tonight, and we'll see you guys next time Hey guys, so for dinner tonight, I decided to go with breakfast for dinner. We are having biscuits and gravy I really just didn't feel like cooking anything tonight And I had some half and half in my fridge that I needed to use up. So biscuits and gravy it is I do have a video on our channel how I make my sausage gravy. It is so easy to make It's foolproof. I promise. I'll make sure to link it in the description box so you guys can check it out So this is what we're having for dinner tonight, and we'll see you guys next time
