School Night Suppers - Skillet Stroganoff

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Here is another quick-fix meal that will help you cope with a busy fall schedule. The base of the dish is ground beef and the addition of mushrooms and sour cream make it a bit like a beef Stroganoff. However, the addition of pasta takes this one-skillet dish in a whole other direction. The recipe which was the inspiration for this meal comes from the blog Taste and Tell. Rotini was used as the pasta in that recipe. I've come to the conclusion that rotini is nothing more than small rotelle, and I honestly think that any small pasta can be used in its place. It takes about 15 minutes to assemble the skillet and you'll need another 30 minutes to cook it. The good news is that all of the cooking is done in the same skillet, so the dish also qualifies as a one dish meal. The pasta makes this a substantial meal and it is one I think your family will enjoy. Here is how it is made.

Bob's in the Kitchen - Game Day Chili Mac Skillet

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This casserole made a regular appearance on our table when the children were at home, and while we don't serve it often these days, it has remained a family favorite. It's also a great dish to prepare for a group of fellow football enthusiasts when you need something that is fast, easy and inexpensive to serve on game day. The dish, which is made with common pantry items, takes 10 minutes to prepare, 25 minutes to cook and it is made in just one pan that can also be used for serving. You can alter heat and spices to your personal taste, and while many will consider it heresy, you can use any cheese you like. I do hope you'll try this for your own family.
