Cheesy enchilada casserole layered with seasoned ground beef, black beans, corn tortillas, and melted cheddar. A weeknight Tex-Mex bake topped with shredded lettuce, sour cream, and salsa.

Polish-style fried meatballs or hamburgers literally called ground cutlets (pol. kotlety mielone). My latest rendition contains white radish, sesame seeds, and cilantro leaves. It is far away from home, but I think it's healthy to travel from time to time. My cutlets are served with potatoes, yoghurt, dill, and Bayou Carlin coleslaw. The salad recipe is taken from RecipeLand. Quick and easy dinner to prepare.

I use crushed Ritz crackers instead of bread crumbs and add 2/3 cup of shredded sharp Cheddar. A simple gravy to go along with the meatloaf can also be made using another packet of soup mix, 2 Tbs. flour and 2 cups of cold water. Simmer until thickened.

A savory and succulent soup made with beef broth and a bit of red wine.

Acadian eight-bean chili with kidney, white, pink, black, red, pinto, cranberry, and navy beans slow-simmered with bacon, ground beef, beer, tomatoes, and warm spices.

Brisket chili built on beer, stewed tomatoes, and a fistful of red pepper flakes, thickened with masa harina and finished with a shot of tequila poured tableside.

Don't be disgusted by the name, this scrumptious casserole is made with rice, cheddar cheese and succulent ground beef.

Layered chicken taco bake with seasoned shredded chicken, rice, refried beans, and melted cheese. A freezer-friendly Mexican casserole that feeds a crowd in one 9x13 pan.

So to start off with the first post, I decided to make a meal that screams of comfort food. Whilst it does take a bit of a while to get the meal done, once you take that first bite, heaven couldn’t seem closer if you were Adam trying to touch God’s finger in the “Creation of Adam” fresco created by Michaelangelo. The meal I speak of is Cottage Pie. There is much debate as to what exactly a cottage pie is and how it is different to a Shepherd’s pie...I don’t know. The dominant theory is that Sheperds pie uses lamb mince, whilst a cottage pie uses beef mince. I don’t know about you, but the term “Sheperds Pie” does not get my tastebuds going quite as well, so I prefer the term cottage pie. Besides, comparing the price of ground (mince) beef to ground lamb, a student would pick up the beef mince in a heartbeat without even so much as glancing at the lamb in the meat section. This cottage pie that I made is full of flavour, and just makes you want to cuddle up next to a fire and watch TCM movies all day either by yourself, or with a significant other. Here is the recipe:

Italian chili with ground beef, pepperoni, kidney beans, mushrooms, and crushed tomatoes in Italian seasoning. A pizza-meets-chili mashup for the stovetop or crock pot.

Polenta pasticciata layers firm cooled polenta squares with porcini-spiked beef ragù, plum tomatoes, and grated pecorino into a rustic Northern Italian bake. Lasagne, but with cornmeal instead of pasta.

Quick spaghetti bolognese browns beef with crushed tomatoes and mashed carrots, which add natural sweetness and body to a meaty sauce in about 30 minutes. An easy weeknight family dinner over spaghetti.

Cornmeal pie shell made with flour, cornmeal, and shortening. A sturdy, subtly sweet crust ideal for savory Southwest pies, quiches, or fruit tarts.

Butterfield Stageline chili: hand-chopped brisket and ground pork simmered slow with green chiles, tequila, beer, and toasted spices. Texas-style crowd feeder.

Dry soup mix made with split peas, lentils, brown rice, pearl barley, and alphabet pasta. Combine once, store for months, and simmer into a thick, nourishing pot of soup anytime.
