Ranch Macaroni and Cheese

I found a new blog! And just browsing through I think I am going to LOVE LOVE LOVE her recipes!

Thank you to Carrie for introducing this to me!

Cassie Craves shared this awesome recipe on her blog and I cant wait to try it!

Bold statement time: This is seriously the best macaroni and cheese I’ve ever had. Even better than this, which was my former favorite. This version of mac and cheese is so tangy and creamy and flavorful and interesting. Best of all, it’s ready in the time it takes to cook the pasta. Serve it with a vegetable on the side as a vegetarian meal, or serve it as a side dish, it really doesn’t matter: Just make sure you MAKE THIS. SOON.

Marry Me Meatballs

I can’t say no to crockpot recipes and Your Barefoot Neighbor shared this one so I had to try it. I’d like to say my children aren’t picky but they all have their own quirks when it comes to food and my youngest daughter didn’t care for the sun-dried tomatoes. Everyone else enjoyed it as it is. Marry Me Meatballs Ingredients 2 lbs frozen Italian meatballs 4 C chicken stock 1 jar sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped 1 can cream of chicken soup Italian seasoning Garlic powder Onion powder Red pepper flakes 2 lbs gnocchi (shelf stable ones) 1/2 pint heavy whipping cream Baby spinach Shredded Parmesan cheese (I used shaved Parmesan) Directions Add meatballs, chicken stock, cream of chicken soup, sun-dried tomatoes and seasonings to crockpot. Cook on high for 3 hours. When that is done add in your gnocchi, heavy cream and baby spinach and cook for another 30 minutes on high. Top with the Parmesan cheese. Serve with garlic toast.

Sausage & Rice Casserole

Last night we failed to pull anything out of the freezers for dinner. Seems to be a common thing here in this house and it’s quite frustrating. I went to my fridge and saw the mushrooms I had gotten and remembered there was a TikTok recipe for them. Y’all this was the EASIEST meal! Sausage & Rice Casserole Ingredients 1 lb Jimmy Dean sausage 2 pouches of Uncle Ben’s long grain and wild rice 1 1/2 C. Mozzarella or Cheddar cheese, shredded 1 can of golden mushroom soup 1 package of sliced mushrooms Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown sausage, add in mushrooms once almost all the way cooked. While that’s cooking down, pop your rice pouches in the microwave per the instructions. When they’re done add them in with the sausage and mushrooms. Also add in your can of golden mushroom soup and the shredded cheese. Mix it all up and put in the oven for 15 minutes.
