Romanoff Meatballs, Steak Kabobs, & Ground Beef Romanoff

Quick and Easy Entree Recipes To Build Your Meals Around

Are you one of those cooks who has a busy day followed by a busy evening yet you want to feed your family a home-cooked meal? If you need a good tasty meal in a hurry, try one of these quick and easy recipes to get you started. Steak Kebabs, Romanoff Meatballs, and Ground Beef Romanoff are great options. A quick steamed vegetable or store-bought salad can round out your meal. Want dessert? Serve ice cream with fruit or a cookie.

ROMANOFF MEATBALLS
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 package (5.5-oz) of Noodles Romanoff
1 1/2 cups milk
2 dozen frozen meatballs
2 tsp parsley flakes
2 tbsp butter
In a large skillet, melt the first two tablespoons of butter. Remove skillet from the heat and blend in the flour and sauce mix from the Noodles Romanoff package. A whisk works well for this. Gradually stir in the milk and heat to boiling while stirring constantly. Boil, stirring, for 1 minute.
Add the meatballs and heat back to boiling. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. While the meatballs cook, cook the noodles according to the package directions. Stir the parsley flakes and butter into the noodles.
To serve, place the noodles on plate and top with the meatballs and sauce.

STEAK KABOBS
This steak needs to marinate overnight or all day. But it is quick to fix at meal time and the prep to marinate is also minimal.
2 lb lean sirloin, cut into cubes 1 1/2-inches
3/4 cup Italian salad dressing
3 tbsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp garlic powder
16 large mushrooms
16 cherry tomatoes
1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch cubes
Trim steak; place in a shallow baking dish.
Combine Italian dressing, soy sauce, and garlic powder, stirring well. Pour over the steak; cover and refrigerate for several hours (overnight or all day) in the refrigerator.
Preheat broiler or prepare grill.
Remove meat from marinade, saving the marinade. Alternate the steak cubes,mushrooms, tomatoes, and bell pepper on skewers. Brush with the marinade and broil 4-inches from heat 5 minutes on each side, brushing a couple of times with the marinade. (Or you can grill the kabobs.)

GROUND BEEF ROMANOFF
1 lb lean ground beef
1 pkg (5.5-oz) Noodles Romanoff
1 can (10 1/2-oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 tbsp instant minced onion
2 tbsp chopped pimento
In a nonstick skillet brown the ground beef until cooked through, stirring to break up; drain off excess fat. Prepare the Noodles Romanoff according to the package directions, increasing the milk to 1 cup. Stir in the ground beef, undiluted mushroom soup, minced onion, and pimento. Heat the mixture to boiling; reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Yield: 4 servings

Enjoy!

Sausage Casserole, Hamburger Cabbage Casserole Pie, & Chicken (or Turkey) Stuffing Casserole

Old Fashion Casserole Recipes Like Grandma Used to Make!

With today's bad economy stretching around the world, now is the time to dig out the casserole recipes! One of the best and tastiest ways to stretch today's tight food budget is to feed your family more casseroles. These recipes will take you back in time to your mom or grandmother's kitchen. Such pleasant memories for me and I hope for you, too!

SAUSAGE CASSEROLE
This is a recipe from my Southern Indiana roots.
1 lb bulk sausage
1 cup diced celery
1 small yellow onion,diced
1/2 green pepper,* diced
1 can cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 1/2 cups milk
3/4 cup minute rice
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
dash of salt
1 cup bread crumbs
2 tbsp oleo
Brown sausage, onion, green pepper, and celery. Stir in rice, soup, milk, and seaonings. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch square baking dish that has been lightly greased. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. Melt the oleo in skillet and add the bread crumbs tossing until they are light brown. Top the casserole and bake another 10 minutes.

HAMBURGER CABBAGE CASSEROLE PIE
This is an old recipe I got from Nebraska.
2 lbs hamburger meat
2 onions, finely chopped
4 cups shredded cabbage
salt & pepper, to taste
2 tubes refrigerated crescent rolls
1 lb shredded mozzarella cheese
Brown the hamburger meat and onion in a large skillet; drain off the fat.
Put the cabbage atop the meat and onion mixture and let steam for a few minutes. Add your salt and pepper. Using 1 tube of the rolls, spread over the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan. Spread the hamburger-cabbbage mixture over top of the crescent rolls. Layer the mozzarella cheese over the hamburger mixture then top with the last can of the crescent rolls.
Bake this at 350 degrees 35 to 40 minutes, covering with foil the last 10 minutes to soften the crust.

CHICKEN (OR TURKEY) STUFFING CASSEROLE
1 cup low-fat milk
1 can (10 3/4-oz) low-sodium cream of chicken soup
1 pkg (6-oz) stuffing mix of your choice
2 cups cubed or shredded cooked chicken (or turkey)
2 cups frozen broccoli florets
2 ribs celery, chopped fine
1 carrot, chopped fine
1 1/2 cups shredded Jack cheese
In a large bowl combine the milk and soup stirring with a whisk until smooth. Add the stuffing mix with the seasoning package contents, chicken, broccoli, celery, carrot and 1 cup of the cheese. Pour the mixture into a 13 x 9 x2-inch baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Place in a 375 degree oven and bake for 20 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle the remaining half-cup of cheese over the top and continue to bake another 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.
Yield: 8 to 10 servings.
NOTE: This is also a suitable recipe for diabetics as it has almost the same number of carbs and proteins per serving.

Enjoy!
