Italian Beef Dip

Quick and easy meal

     This is an especially easy dinner. It takes only 5 purchased ingredients and a couple of spices you should already have in you cupboard. Dinner can be on the table in about 15 minutes.  You can use fancy Hoagie Buns or toasted Hamburger buns you have on hand.  Be prepared for a busy day by buying the sliced deli meat and cheese ahead of time and freeze the meat to be pulled out in a pinch.

     So full of flavor your family won't believe you haven't been slaving in the kitchen for hours!

Simmer the first 5 ingredients together in a skillet for about 5 minutes. 


      Remove pepper strips and add beef to heat through.  Butter the top of the buns and place them next to the bottom buns on a cookie sheet. Divide beef between bottom buns and top with cooked pepper and cheese. Place cookie sheet filled with sandwiches under the broiler for a short time until the cheese melts and the tops are toasted.  Serve remaining juice in a small bowl with sandwiches as a dip. 



    Do you have any great quick recipes you could share with us?  I would love to hear from you!!

    Chicken Marengo


    Easy Chicken Dinner


     This simple, 6 ingredient  recipe for Chicken Marengo is sooo delicious.  I found it years ago on the back of a Campbell's soup can.  I have to say that the soups by themselves are good but when you combine them they create a whole new and rich flavor.  My family has loved this recipe for years and I hope you will have it as a new tradition in yours!





    Wash and cut up about 3 lbs of bone in chicken pieces.  (You could use boneless chicken breast, it isn't as flavorful but would be good.  Reduce cooking time to about 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and check often to prevent over cooking.)




    Assemble ingredients and thinly slice the onions.
    Brown the chicken pieces with oil in a skillet over med high heat.  Reduce heat and remove oil. 

     Add remaining ingredients and separate onion rings over the top.  Bring to a simmer and cover.  Cook on medium low heat for about 45 minutes checking and turning every 10 minutes to avoid over browning.
    Serve with rice.
