If you are itching to make use of some ground beef but want to get away from the usual hamburger or beef taco meals, this Southwest Beef & Mac Casserole is a nice alternative. It gives you the cheese-loaded flavors of the Southwest in about an hour (about half an hour of prepping and cooking and half an hour of baking).

I like to grab a batch of ground beef when I see some on special (yes, it still happens, though you really have to look out for it), but there are only so many burgers and beef tacos that I can handle in a short time span. Don’t get me wrong, I love tacos and certainly enjoy a good burger, now and then, but too much of a good thing in too short a period of time can get really boring, you know? This casserole recipe is a straightforward way to make creative use of that ground beef and put a hearty, filling meal on the table. It also happens to smell nice while you are cooking it and to look really pretty coming out of the oven.

I Can’t Call This “Authentic,” But I Can Call It Really Tasty!

Lovers of more traditional Italian spaghetti and meat sauce may cringe a bit when they see this at first, but don’t worry: you can love your original spaghetti recipe and still find plenty to enjoy about this Wild West Spaghetti.  This dish can be ready in about half an hour, meaning you can find time for it on even your more hectic days.

 

I do love the version of traditional spaghetti meat sauce that Mother used to make, and I still do make it frequently.  It’s good for when you have a fair bit of free time to make something that will provide a meal or two a day for several days.  You do have to be patient with it, though.  This Wild West spaghetti works much better if you are in a particular rush or if you just want to mix things up a bit from the traditional.

If you like the texture and compactness of egg rolls but want something other than the usual Asian-style options, consider giving these Baked Mexican Chicken Egg Rolls a try.  They are loaded with that great savory Tex-Mex flavor and can be cooked and prepped in about 45 minutes–fancy enough for a nice party but easy enough for everyday snacking.

 

I love my Asian dishes and enjoy egg rolls, but sometimes, you just want something a little different.  I loved the idea of a baked egg roll made with the flavors of the Southwest, and I certainly wasn’t disappointed with the results.  It wasn’t like any egg roll I had had previously, and I definitely will make them again in the near future.

Everyone loves Ranch dressing, and sometimes it makes an appearance in the last place you’d think, as a tasty flavorful addition. These pork chops are no different. Not only that, this recipe takes place entirely in 1 pan! I absolutely love one-dish recipes. It makes everything so much easier for me on a busy weekday when I don’t have to worry about a massive clean-up operation.

Ready in about 2 minutes, this recipe serves 4 people generously.  Serve with a side of greens for a full and nutritiously complete meal.  These also make for great leftover lunches the next day – but I have to warn you… This is so delicious it’s going to be gone before you know it. So if you want some of those leftovers, you might want to make a double batch!  Enjoy!
