  1. In a saucepan and water and boil pasta according to directions. In a large skillet, brown and crumble the ground beef until no longer pink on medium heat. Add the onions, peppers, and mushrooms until vegetables are tender. If not enough grease add some extra virgin olive oil and continue sauteing until onions are clear. (If too much grease, drain some off.) Turn the burner to low.
  2. When pasta is cooked, drain and add to skillet. Add Alfredo sauce and turn the heat back up to heat through. Stir to get all mixed up.
  3. I call this Alfredo surprise because it's up to you what you add. In my house meat and mushrooms are a requirement! Leave them out or add chicken if you would prefer. Use macaroni instead of penne or whatever you have on hand. Make this recipe for your family. I got a "this is really good" TWICE from my son and husband! The next time I made it we had fresh mushrooms that I sliced and saute'd with the onions. I even got away with no meat because of all the mushrooms.
  4. Try it with your own ingredients and don't be surprised if you get a similar reaction from your family! JUST ENJOY! I wouldn't say you would be called a CHEF, but a good home COOK!

Bacon Alfredo Ranch Penne (Good Goop)

Bacon Alfredo Ranch Penne (Good Goop)
I through this together one night when I didn't want to think a lot. When I took a picture my husband said "What do you call this "good goop?" I came up with a different name but I had to give my husband credit because he had to eat it.

Instructions
  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking get a large skillet.If frying bacon, keep 1 Tbsp. grease in skillet discard rest. Crumble bacon. If microwaving bacon, crumble when cooked. if using pre-cooked bacon, cut into smaller pieces add olive oil and mushrooms. Stir to warm and brown a little. Add bacon pieces and keep stirring especially if it's pre-cooked bacon. This gives the bacon a little crunch.
  2. Add alfredo sauce to skillet and drained pasta and mix well. Add ranch dressing to skillet if looking dry add ranch dressing to heat and melt. Shut the skillet off and enjoy! Even if not dry add some dressing and cheese to enjoy the flavor.
  3. To tell you that all cooks are not perfect every time they cook, I'll give you the backstory on this recipe and how it got created. It got started with boiling the pasta. I didn't measure the pasta before adding it to the boiling water. I was going to eyeball it from the box. I was pouring and got about 3/4 of the box so I added the whole box to cook because what was I going to do with about 1/3 cup of pasta later?
  4. So I added as much cooked pasta as I dared (easily 1/2 or more). It was mixed with the bacon, mushroom, alfredo mixture.I I I I needed more liquid stuff, so I went to my fridge and grabbed the ranch dressing. What doesn't go with ranch? I put some in and mixed it up. It still didn't look creamy enough so I added mozzarella cheese. It still wasn't creamy, so I added more ranch and cheese until it looked like the picture!
  5. My original intention was penne in alfredo sauce with bacon and mushrooms. I didn't have any meat out and my family likes mushrooms. I used pre-cooked bacon so I used kitchen scissors to cut into bite-size pieces.See how it morphed from there? My husband had his own name for it (Good Goop). The 3 of us ended up eating it twice, but I added milk to heat it the 2nd time. Pasta absorbs liquid. By the 2nd time eating it I got the compliments! That's hard from a house of smart mouths.
  6. Make it your own. Add meat, leave out the mushrooms. Make it for your family! Don't be afraid to mess up, just adjust as you cook!

  1. Preheat oven according to cornbread muffin package. Spray muffin holes if necessary.
  2. In small bowl, mix cornbread according to package directions using ingredients called for on package. Pour into sprayed or lined mini muffin pan. Cut each sausages in half and place in cornbread batter. May have to cut last 2 sausage in thirds to fill all of cornbread muffin spaces.
  3. May not get all 24 mini muffin cups filled. Place in oven according to cornbread muffin instructions, about 8-10 minutes. take out of pan when toothpick comes out clean. Serve with catsup and mustard.
Recipe Notes

My husband found this recipe and made it after supper as a snack. He didn't create it. He doesn't like mustard, but liked it with these. I even dipped part of mine in catsup and another part in mustard My son usually tears the cornbread coating off regular corn dogs, but ate these. I don't like Vienna sausages, but couldn't tell that's what I was eating. It was a hit and would consider fixing it as a meal when it gets busy on the farm from Spring to Fall. My husband said it wasn't hard and didn't take him very long!

With what's going on in 2020, cornbread muffin mix and Vienna sausages are in a can so you don't have to worry about either going bad until you mix them together. A fun new food to change the boredom. A kid-size snack/meal that's just their size!

  1. Mix egg and milk in shallow bowl or pie pan for breading steaks. Mix flour, salt, pepper in another bowl or pie pan for breading steaks. There isn't exact measurements because it depends on the number and size of steaks. with one hand add steaks to egg wash a few at a time. After dipping in egg wash, dip in flour, salt, pepper mixture to bread each piece. Add to large frying pan with oil and brown each side.
  2. Flip steaks once to get both sides browned. When browned, add to 9 x 9 or 7 x 11 (like picture). Sprinkle dry stuffing mix evenly over steaks, In a small bowl (I used a larger measuring cup.), mix soup and can of water. Por the mixture over the stuffing. Cover with foil. Put in preheated 350 degree oven and cook for 30 minutes. Take the foil of the last couple minutes of cooking to brown. Store any leftovers in the fridge.
Recipe Notes

I got this recipe off a box of stuffing mix with browned pork chops. I had 3 minute steaks in the fridge to use so I cut and breaded them like chicken fried steak I also used pork flavored stuffing mix. I forgot to take a picture, again, when I put it on the table. I remembered when I had it on the table cooling to put in the fridge. I made it at noon for 2 of us. As you can see I have leftovers for a couple days. To reheat  check the moisture and, if needed, add a little water. with foil on put in 300 degree oven for 30 -45 minutes.

If you like stuffing, this just puts your meat with it. Add more spices to your liking. Enjoy!!

  3. Put in 350 degree oven for 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted
  4. Mix tomato sauce and pizza seasoning in microwave -safe bowl. Can warm for a few seconds in microwave. Can dip bread into sauce being careful not to lose toppings. Or spoon some sauce on bread slices and eat with fingers or fork.
Recipe Notes

I made this recipe up last night by combining pizza burgers and another recipe. We are in fall harvest and it's nice to have supper ready when my guys are ready to eat. I'm never sure when that is, but I was getting tired of eating cold sandwiches! I asked my son if this would be ok for supper. He wasn't excited because he had pizza burgers for lunch at school, but I made them anyway. We had French bread that needed to be used and hamburger buns always get used at this time of year. My son took 1 and said "It's really good, Mom." and ate another! From my picture, you can tell I am messy when making the meal. I wasn't thinking about taking a picture, but I am remembering to. This recipe does make 8, but my son had grabbed one already to eat. Increase amounts if making for more people.

Brooklyn Brew Shop

This is not a club, but it’s for over 21-year-olds, so it goes in the same column.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to MAKE your own beer? Come to Brooklyn Brew Shop and get a gallon-size, all grain, kit that’s an easy and fun way to make your own beer. They have several kits to choose from.  Whether it’s a light Belgian-Style Ale, a hoppy IPA, a creamy stout, or something else entirely, you can brew the beer you’d love to drink. They even have wine, but there are a couple things (not included) to purchase to make the wine. IPA is an India Pale Ale. It was named by England back in the day for the time to get from England to India. They are usually more hoppy tasting and may have a little stronger alcohol content. If that’s the taste for you, be sure and look because they have several to choose from!

All Beer Making Kits include the equipment & ingredients for your first batch. The equipment is reusable, so you’ll just need a new Beer Making Mix for future batches. Along with SEVERAL kinds of kits such as craft brewery, dark and light ales, bacon, mojito, rum, even a hot sauce type and yes, chocolate! At the other end there is even a bikini beer. You just have to look through ALL the kits to find some to try. They even get the autumn flavor of hard cider. It seems if you buy 1 kit and keep the jug, you can buy as many mixes to try because you can clean and reuse the bottle. The gallon jug is equal to about 20 beers.Look at the accessories to buy bottles, for gifts. a stainless steel keg to turn your beer making into 2 DAYS instead of 2 weeks. It’s even small enough to fit in your fridge and comes with an interchangeable tap. Not sure which one to start with? Start with the beer tasting set to wet your whistle.

If you know of someone that would enjoy making beer for a different kind of gift, give a GIFT CARD! With holidays coming up, what a unique gift for the beer lover. How about a birthday present (if the person is over 21). bachelor gifts, Father’s Day, anytime you need an unusual gift. Maybe you’d be responsible for creating a new hobby!

It’s a project that takes little room. Compact, attractive & designed for kitchens of all sizes (big and small), our Beer Making Kits are the perfect introduction to brewing your own beer.

Orders over $59 are FREE SHIPPING, otherwise the chart shows up at checkout.
