When you can’t wait 8 hours for the traditional Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast and you want all the fixings to caramelize the oven is your best bet. My family loves my Pot Roast and this brings the old recipe to extraordinary.

Braciole Recipe 2
When a Rizzo birthday happens at my home Braciole is always the main dish. It’s his favorite! This year I wanted to try something a little different. Just a change up in the stuffing … like a bread stuffing. My use of flank steak is a favorite but other meats work too, such as round steak, pork, veal. You still can’t beat flank steak for its flavor and tenderness in this recipe.

Lasagna Soup
Have you seen a Lasagna Soup Recipe circulating social media in the last month? I have but not this recipe. I thought, how difficult would it be to change up my all time Lasagna into a soup! As it turns out, not difficult at all. The perfect answer to a quick dinner especially if lasagna is what you’re craving.
Smoked Brisket Dan’s Style
Didn’t get a taste but I’m betting this tastes as good as my recipe if not better. My recipe here. My brother is the family barbecue and meat smoking expert. We were introduced early on to the smoky flavor of barbecued steaks and smoked Portuguese Sausage. We just can’t help ourselves when it comes to the taste.
This recipe is an all day activity but most of this is observing … A great dinner for that special picnic and all day swim party. You must try my brother’s pit meat recipe too, here.
Mississippi Roast-My Version
Love my hairstylist, Melissa, for more than taming my hair … a real time consuming task, believe me. We share interests … our love for family, cleaning (ha), and food. Melissa recently tried a version of this recipe, apparently Mississippi Roast has been around, (who knew?), and said it was amazing. It sounded really tasty as she gave me the list of the few ingredients without much in directions. Melissa is considerably younger than I … In fact, she’s younger than my youngest child. What does this have to do with anything? I like to get ideas of what young mother’s & dad’s cook for their families. Yep, I have several of her recipes on this blog, some of Portuguese origin. Just plug her name, MELISSA, in the search box above to see what happens. Thank you Melissa!
Enjoy this amazingly simple recipe with a few extra steps thanks to me. Oops.

Chili Beans Portuguese Style
Margaret Costa’s beans to be exact! Margaret is my second cousin and I’m hoping she’ll forgive me for tweaking her recipe just a bit. Honestly, I just don’t cook for 10 to 20 people like Margaret did regularly. Again, the recipe calls for cinnamon. I’ve been questioned about the use of this spice in Portuguese bean recipes. I can assure you this spice was added to these recipes long before I began to cook. I explain the use on regional cooking to a fallback when other spices weren’t available. The originators of many of my Portuguese recipes are no longer living, and I just have no one to ask why they used cinnamon so liberally. It’s like all those photos with unrecognizable people. Why didn’t I ask when I could? I hope you will enjoy this very simple chili bean recipe that’s all about spices.
Portuguese Style Pot Roast
& Roasted Turnips
In time for Sunday Dinner. Delicious tasting roast with the minimum of prep. Instead of potatoes I’ve added turnips. Because turnips tend to cook up easily in moisture I prefer to roast them separately to get the full caramelized taste. All is then layered into a serving dish and the warm juices are poured over the top.
Keto Hamburger Cheese Bake
With Spaghetti Squash
Just a terrifically tasty dish! Low carb, gluten free, ketogenic friendly. Nothing more needs to be said!
Goulash American Style
More about using garden tomatoes. Actually, lots was going on here not excluding real hunger! Wanted to use up the tomatoes and bells from my garden. Wanted comfort and cozy. And wanted to revisit a recipe from the distant past. I took an old recipe I cooked as a child and made it a little differently. Yes, the fresh Roma tomatoes made a difference because Romas are just sweeter and make a great creamy-like sauce.
Shepherd’s Pie
The entree was a hit! George, the meat-n-potatoes birthday guy, loved it! There are many variations to this recipe.You might add your own touch like fresh peas, chopped celery, mashed cauliflower in place of potatoes but I like this just as it is. It absolutely has an amazing flavor and it’s so very moist.
If you like meat and potatoes I guarantee you’ll love this!
Birthday cake! Delicious!
