• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Recipe for Beef and Gravy with Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons of butter
• Add salt and pepper according to your preference.

For the meat and sauce:

• 1 pound of ground beef
• 1 onion of medium size, chopped
• 2 pieces of garlic, chopped
• 2 tablespoons of regular flour
• 2 cups of meat broth
• 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
• Add salt and pepper according to your preference.
• You can add 1 cup of frozen peas and carrots if you like.

SETTLEMENT:

Prepare the mashed potatoes. Place the sliced and peeled potatoes in a large pot and fill with water. Add a small pinch of salt and bring to a boil. It should take around 20 minutes to boil the potatoes gradually at this temperature until they are tender. Remove the water from the potatoes and put them back in the pot. Add the butter and milk, and mash until it becomes smooth and tender. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste. Put a lid on the pot to keep the potatoes heated while you make the sauce. Prepare the sauce and cook the minced beef. Cook the ground beef in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until it is no longer pink. Remove any extra grease.

Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the pan with the meat. Cook for roughly 5 minutes, until the onions are see-through. To get rid of the taste of raw flour, add the flour to the meat mixture and whisk for two minutes. Stirring constantly, slowly pour in the Worcestershire sauce and beef stock, scraping up any browned bits from the pan’s bottom. The mixture should be heated for about five minutes, or until it begins to softly bubble and the sauce thickens. If you prefer, you can put the frozen peas and carrots in the saucepan during the final minutes of cooking. They add extra nutrients and color. To taste, adjust the gravy with more salt and pepper.

To serve, transfer the creamy mashed potatoes to dishes or platters. Cover the potatoes with the ground meat and gravy mixture. Heat it up and experience the coziness and warmth of this wonderful dish. My spouse entered the kitchen when I was making this dish for the first time at home since it smelled so good. “What are you making?” he queried, glancing over my shoulder. I told him, and he looked really pleased. He was fully aware of what was going to occur. As soon as we took our first mouthful, we felt as though we had been at that supper together again. The ground beef and gravy went really well with the creamy, buttery mashed potatoes.

MILLION DOLLAR SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE

The Million Dollar Spaghetti Casserole is an opulent take on the typical spaghetti dish that combines the rich, creamy textures of a casserole with the heartiness of a regular noodle dinner. Imagine a recipe where the spaghetti serves as a vehicle for a symphony of flavors and sensations instead of just as a plain source of carbohydrates. The heartiness appears in the next layer. Simmered to perfection, a hearty meat sauce, usually made with ground beef or a blend of beef and Italian sausage, is prepared. A handmade sauce composed of crushed tomatoes, garlic, onions, and a combination of Italian herbs including parsley, basil, and oregano gives the spaghetti a rich taste that permeates every bite.

Perfectly cooked till golden, the Million Dollar Spaghetti Casserole exudes a delightful aroma upon removal from the oven, showcasing a well-balanced combination of cheese, tomato, and herbs. The layers merge together, yet each retains its individual character, creating a symphony of flavors and textures with each forkful. The meal is at once opulent and cozy, with the creamy cheese layer contrasting the meaty, herb-infused sauce and the spaghetti offering a comforting, domestic texture.

Enjoy !!

Ingredients:

• 3 1/4 cups (400g) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup (50g) sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoons (7g) active dry yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup (180ml) warm milk (around 110°F/43°C)
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, softened and cut into small cubes
• 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)

Instructions:

1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until foamy.
2. Mix the dough: In a large bowl (or stand mixer), combine the flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and add the eggs. Mix until a rough dough forms.
3. Incorporate butter: Gradually add the softened butter, a few cubes at a time, while continuing to knead the dough (using a stand mixer with a dough hook or by hand). Knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

5. Shape the rolls: After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round ball and place them on a lined or greased baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
6. Second rise: Cover the shaped rolls with a towel and let them rise again for about 30-45 minutes, until puffy.
7. Preheat the oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
8. Egg wash and bake: Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash (egg yolk mixed with milk) for a golden, shiny finish. Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Cool and serve: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. They’re perfect for dinner, sandwiches, or just slathering with butter.
