Is there anything more refreshing than a cold glass of lemonade on a toasty day? It’s a summertime staple for a reason! And while the classic lemon juice and sugar recipes will never fail you, it would be a disservice not to let you in on my new favorite version: Strawberries & Cream Lemonade.

Yup, you heard that right. This recipe combines the tangy zest of freshly squeezed lemons with the sweetness of ripe strawberries and creamy decadence of sweetened condensed milk. I promise it is every bit as delicious as it sounds!

You’ll need about 1 ½ to 2 cups of strawberries for this recipe. Frozen berries will work, but fresh is even better. Place them in a blender and pulse until they’re fully pureed. At this point there’s an optional step of straining any pulp and seeds out of the puree. Personally, the seeds don’t bother me and I think the pulp adds more flavor, but the final call is up to you here.

Now it’s time to mix everything up. Add fresh lemon juice (you definitely want to use fresh here, the bottled stuff is just not the same!), strawberry puree, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of salt to a pitcher of ice and stir until nice and smooth.

If you don’t want your bevy quite as sweet feel free to spoon in the milk a little at a time until your desired sweetness is achieved. Add some chilled water for the last step and this gorgeous drink is ready to serve!

Ingredients

2 cups ice
1 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (5-7 lemons)
1 ½ – 2 cups fresh strawberries
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
Pinch of salt
5-6 cups cold water
Optional: mashed strawberries and lemon slices for garnish

Preparation

Place strawberries in a blender or food processor and blend until fully pureed. Optional: use a fine mesh strainer to strain out seeds if desired.
Add ice to a 1/2 gallon pitcher then add lemon juice, strawberry puree, sweetened condensed milk, and salt. Use a large spoon to stir for about 1 minute until smooth.
Add cold water and stir to combine. Add additional mashed strawberries and lemon slices if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make this delightful casserole.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 lb ground beef – Lean or extra-lean is ideal to prevent excess grease.
• 4-5 medium-sized potatoes – Russet or Yukon Gold work best for this recipe.
• 1 small onion, diced – Adds a bit of flavor and texture.
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup – The base for the creamy sauce. Cream of chicken or celery can be used if you prefer.
• 1/2 cup milk – To thin out the sauce a little.
• 1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese – For that cheesy goodness. Feel free to adjust based on preference.
  Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or dried herbs – To add a bit of depth to the flavor.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat the Oven
   Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). This allows the casserole to bake evenly and ensures the ingredients meld together beautifully.
2. Prepare the Potatoes
   Wash, peel, and slice the potatoes into thin, round slices, about 1/8-inch thick. Consistency is key here, so the potatoes cook at the same rate. Set them aside.
3. Cook the Ground Beef
   In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it’s no longer pink. Break it up into small crumbles as it cooks, and add the diced onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onions are softened. Drain any excess grease and season with salt, pepper, and any optional spices or herbs.
4. Prepare the Creamy Sauce
   In a medium bowl, mix together the can of cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth. This mixture will help keep the casserole moist and creamy as it bakes.
5. Layer the Ingredients
   Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or butter. Start by layering half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper over the potatoes. Add half of the cooked ground beef mixture on top of the potatoes, followed by half of the soup mixture. Repeat with another layer of potatoes, ground beef, and soup.
6. Add Cheese on Top
   Spread the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top layer. This will create a delicious golden, bubbly crust as it bakes.
7. Bake the Casserole
   Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. After an hour, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
8. Serve and Enjoy
   Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This dish is great as it is, but you can also garnish with fresh parsley, chives, or green onions for added flavor and a pop of color.

Tips for Success:

• Thinly Slice the Potatoes: Thin, even slices help the potatoes cook evenly. Using a mandoline slicer can ensure uniform thickness and reduce prep time.
• Add More Veggies: For a boost in flavor and nutrients, you can add veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, or carrots to the ground beef mixture.
• Try Different Cheeses: While cheddar is a classic choice, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even pepper jack can add a new twist.
• Make Ahead: You can prepare the casserole the night before, cover it tightly, and refrigerate. When you’re ready to bake, let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then bake as directed.
