10,000 creamed recipes

Hearty Tex-Mex beef casserole loaded with creamed corn, green chilies, and tomatoes under a crunchy cheddar cracker topping. One dish, big bold Southwest flavor.

This is basically my grandmothers recipe with a few of my own ideas.

A delicious chicken soup that is perfect for lunch on a rainy day.

A no-bake chocolate biscuit pudding, milk-soaked biscuits layered with a rich cocoa butter cream and studded with cashews and raisins, then chilled until sliceable. A Sri Lankan party favorite.

Oatmeal banana walnut bread, a hearty banana loaf with quick oats stirred in for chew, creamed butter and brown sugar for richness, and walnuts for crunch. Moist, wholesome, and great toasted.

Easy mango sorbet from just three ingredients, ripe mango pureed with a light sugar syrup and frozen, no ice cream maker needed. Pure tropical fruit, naturally dairy-free and refreshingly cold.
