Looking for a great oven baked meatball recipe? Here is a great tasting meatball that you and your crew are going to love.  It is very easy to make and it requires only a few ingredients you probably already have in your cupboard. These meatballs are great in pasta sauce, and they are amazing when dipped or when coated in barbecue sauce.  My husband absolutely loves them in barbecue sauce!  Whether it’s for a pasta meal for the family at home or it’s for an appetizer at a friend’s party these meatballs are going to get a lot of attention while they last. 

First combine all ingredients and mix together.

Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes or until the meatballs reach 160 degrees on a meat thermometer.  Now you can remove them from the pan and serve them with your favorite sauce. This meatball freezes very well so if you have too many just freeze them for later.

Beef and Onion Sliders

categories: Main Dishes, Recipes

Beef Sliders

 

Here’s an easy main dish or appetizer for a party. A couple of years ago I served these sliders at a garden party. Everyone loved them!  The onions in the sliders deliver a ton of flavor!  A few of the guys at the party couldn’t stop eating them.  One of the guys even left with one or two sliders in their hands.  This is a great dish for a large group; all you have to do is bake them in the oven. The beef and onion sliders are a definite crowd pleaser.  

You start by covering the bottom of a 8×8 baking dish with 1/4 cup dry minced onions.onions-web

Then put 1 pound of ground beef on top of the onions. Pat it down so it is an even layer. Next, season with salt and pepper or with your favorite seasoning.

Bake the pan in a preheated 400 degree oven for 35 min. After the 35 min, make sure the meat temps at 160 degrees. Next, cut up the meat into 12 equal pieces and put them on the buns. I used King’s Hawaiian Rolls, but you can use any cocktail roll that you have.  Now you can add cheese or your favorite toppings and serve.

Chicken Alfredo

Chicken Alfredo

 

Looking to amaze your family with an incredible meal?  Here is one of my favorite recipes!  Every time I make this recipe I feel like we are enjoying something that was made at the most amazing Italian restaurant.  After making this dish a few times, you won’t be able to find a better Chicken Alfredo anywhere.  A friend in college (who worked at a local Italian restaurant) gave me this recipe. He knew the recipe by heart since he had to make it fresh every time he had to go to work.  This is a convenient meal to make since it does not require many ingredients.  My family and I love this recipe and I know you and your family will too.

Start by cooking your chicken.  I bake my chicken breasts in the oven.  Once they are cooked, I cut them into strips and I set them aside.  Next melt your butter in a pan.melting butterNow add a 1/2 cup of the parmesan cheese to the butter to make a paste. You may want to pull the pan off the burner for a second while you make the paste so it does not get too hot.

butter-and-parm-mixing-2-finalNow add 1 pint of 1/2 and 1/2.  You must keep stirring constantly to avoid burning the sauce. Now you can add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of parmesan cheese. You can also stir in the 1 teaspoon of garlic salt.  Keep stirring over medium heat until the sauce starts to simmer.  

pouring in half and halfOnce it simmers, you can mix in your cooked chicken.  Then continue to stir with the chicken breasts in the pan until the chicken is warm.  Make sure you stir the whole time. Now you can serve over your favorite pasta.
