Heavenly Bake

Elevating a lowly casserole and time-saving canned goods with a few extra special ingredients makes for a surprising delicious dish, perfect for cool Fall & Winter nights.

2 cans cream of shrimp soup

2 large* cans Albacore tuna in water, drained

1 1/2 Cups Half & Half or whole milk

1 1/2 Cups finely shredded cheese, such as Jack or Muenster

1/2 teaspoon thyme

1/2 teaspoon dill

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Combine above ingredients in medium sauce pan over low heat. Stir occasionally, breaking up tuna into smaller morsels.

*********

8 ounces dried pasta cooked in boiling, salted water until al dente. Drain but do not rinse. Reserve.

********

1/2 Cup thinly sliced shallots

1 Cup coarsely chopped Baby Bellas (also known as Crimini mushrooms)

In medium frying pan over medium low heat, saute shallots in small amout butter for 10 minutes, then add 'shrooms the last 5 min. Combine veggies with the juice of 1 lemon then stir into prepared sauce and toss with reserved pasta.

Spoon into prepared casserole dish or 13 x 9 pan. Bake 35 to 40 minutes in 350 oven until just bubbly and lightly browned.

Optional: May substitute 2 ounces Sherry for 1/4 Cup milk. We like to top this dish with a mix of1 Cup Panko bread crumbs, 1/3 Cup grated Parmesan-Reggiano cheese and 1/2 teaspoon paprika. My favorite pasta for this dish is Farfale (Bowtie) design, as it holds the seafood sauce amazingly well.

*We use Kirkland Albacore tuna in 7 ounce cans

Honey Mustard Chicken & Brussels Sprouts with Salty Cinnamon Pecan Crumble

Description

At only 8 core ingredients, this is a smart and satisfying one-pan chicken dinner that packs a punch in the flavor department and comes together in a snap.  With this recipe, you get your protein, veggie and grains all in one pan. 

SCALE 1x2x3x

Ingredients

2/3 cup chopped pecans

½ cup old-fashioned oats

½ tsp cinnamon 

Salt and pepper, to taste

½ cup plus 2 TBSP flour, divided (any kind, really)

5 Tbsp olive oil, divided 

6 boneless skinless chicken thighs 

1 cup store-bought honey mustard salad dressing (such as Ken’s)

1 cup chicken stock

3 cups (give or take) Brussels sprouts, halved 

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. 

On a large sheet pan, combine the pecans, oats, cinnamon, about ½ tsp salt, 2 TBSP of the flour, and 2 TBSP of the olive oil. Toss with your hands to evenly coat everything and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring halfway through, or until the pecans are deep golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet over med-high, add 2 TBSP oil. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, and dredge in the remaining flour, giving them a thin coating. Cook the chicken until brown and crusty on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate for the time being. 

Reduce the heat to medium, keep the drippings in the pan and also add the remaining TBSP of oil. Add the Brussels sprouts, season them lightly with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are getting brown and crusty; about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to the same plate with the chicken.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the honey mustard and chicken stock. Season lightly with salt and pepper and allow the pan sauce to reduce and simmer for 5 minutes, scraping up any bits on the bottom of the pan. 

Preheat your broiler and adjust your rack to the middle position (we don’t want to broil it too fast).

After the sauce has simmered for 5 minutes, slide the chicken and Brussels sprouts back into the pan, tossing to ensure everything is coated in the sauce. Broil until the chicken is deep golden brown and slightly crusty on top (the sugars in the honey mustard will help this happen); about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, top with the pecan crumble and serve right away.

Next Ingredient: RED POTATOES

The Best Ever Salty Herbed Smashed Potatoes

Ingredients

• 12 red potatoes
• kosher salt
• ground black pepper
• olive oil
• dried basil leaves
• dried thyme leaves
• dried rosemary

Instructions

1. In a large stock pot filled halfway with water, bring to boil and liberally salt water. Add red potatoes, and boil for 15 minutes, or until they are fork tender. Strain; set aside.

2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Using a baking sheet, drizzle some olive oil onto the sheet, and spread around using hand (or paper towel). Line your potatoes up 4 to a row, 3 across, making sure they aren't too close to each other. Using a potato masher or strong fork, press down in the center to smash your potato; repeat for all potatoes.

3. Drizzle olive oil over the tops of the potatoes, then brush around the entire potato (I used a basting brush). Sprinkle kosher salt, pepper, and all herbs over the tops of the potatoes. Place into oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until browned on the top.

Recipe Notes

These are delicious by themselves, but also taste amazing topped with sour cream or greek yogurt, and also parmesan cheese! Yum!
