Ground Beef and Gravy over Mashed Potatoes is a delicious and comforting classic!

Ingredients:
4-5 russet potatoes (peeled and cut into cubes)
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk (or more for desired consistency)
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Ground Beef and Gravy:

1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:

1. Make the Mashed Potatoes:

In a large pot, cover the potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the water completely.

While the potatoes are hot, return them to the pot and mash them with a potato masher or hand mixer. Add the butter and milk, beat until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.

2. Make the Ground Beef and Gravy:

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.

Add the chopped onion to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Sprinkle the flour over the ground beef and vegetables and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. This will help thicken the gravy.

Gradually whisk in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the gravy thickens slightly.

Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and dried thyme. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

3. Assemble and Serve:

Spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates. Top with the ground beef and gravy. Enjoy!

🧅🥔 Perfect for busy nights!

6 large potatoes, thinly sliced

1 packet of Lipton Onion Soup mix

1/3 cup butter, melted

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

1/2 cup chicken broth or water

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking spray or butter for greasing

Begin by thoroughly greasing the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

Wash and peel the potatoes (if desired), then thinly slice them, ensuring even thickness for consistent cooking.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced potatoes with the melted butter, ensuring each slice is coated. Sprinkle the Lipton Onion Soup mix over the potatoes and mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.

If using cheese, add the shredded cheddar to the potato mixture and blend it through.

Carefully layer the seasoned potatoes into the slow cooker and pour the chicken broth or water over the top. The liquid will help steam the potatoes to a tender finish while the slow cooker cooks.

Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours. Cooking times may vary depending on your specific slow cooker and the thickness of your potato slices.

Once the potatoes are tender and cooked through, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Serve your Slow Cooker Lipton Onion Potatoes hot as a comforting side dish ready to complement your main course. Enjoy the ease and flavor of this classic, heartwarming recipe.

Apple Pie Bombs 🍏🍂

Ingredients:

1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
1 1/2 cups apple pie filling (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup caramel sauce (optional, for drizzling)

For the Homemade Apple Pie Filling (Optional):
2 large apples, peeled and diced
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Directions:

Make the Apple Pie Filling (if not using store-bought): In a medium saucepan, combine diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the apples are soft. Dissolve cornstarch in water and add to the apple mixture, stirring until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Prepare the Dough: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into 8 individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
Fill the Bombs: Place 1-2 tablespoons of apple pie filling in the center of each flattened dough circle. Carefully pull the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching them together at the top to seal completely. Shape into a smooth ball.
Bake the Bombs: Place the filled dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: While the bombs are baking, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Once the bombs are out of the oven, brush them with melted butter and immediately roll each one in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
Serve and Enjoy: Drizzle with caramel sauce, if desired, and serve warm.

Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes

Kcal: 210 kcal | Servings: 8 bombs

Tips:

Make sure to seal the dough well to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
Use a mix of sweet and tart apples (such as Honeycrisp and Granny Smith) for a more balanced flavor in the filling.
