hey y'all welcome back to my channel or
welcome if you're new today i'm going to
be sharing
a what's for dinner video with you this
is
long overdue and if you are new here my
name is mckenzie
i share grocery hauls and shopping
videos on my channel weekly
and i think i'm going to start
incorporating a little more of what's
for dinner
let's jump right in i can't wait to
share these recipes with you alright so
first we are going to be having dump and
bake
meatball casserole and for this recipe
you are only going to need
one jar of marinara sauce
a box of rotini noodles you're also
going to need three cups of water
two cups of mozzarella cheese and one
package of meatballs and you're going to
be using
a 9x13 inch pan first you're going to
mix
all of the ingredients together you're
going to put the noodles in a mixing
bowl
along with the marinara sauce you're
also going to add
the three cups of water and then you're
going to add in the meatballs
and mix it up really good
so
once you have all of those ingredients
mixed together you're just going to pour
the entire bowl
of your mixture into the 9 by 13 inch
pan
and then of course you're going to want
to spread everything out to make sure
that it cooks evenly
so once you have all of this done and
your pan looks like this you're going to
want to make sure your oven is set on
425 degrees
and you are going to get some tinfoil
and wrap
your entire pan very tightly and then
you're ready to stick it in the oven
you're going to first let it cook for
about 35 minutes
on 425 degrees
once that 35 minutes is up you are going
to take it out of the oven
and check on the noodles and make sure
they are soft
and then you're going to be able to add
your mozzarella cheese to the top
and then you will put it back in the
oven cover it back
up with the foil and cook it another
five to ten minutes
until all of the cheese is melted
and once it's all done and out of the
oven it will be ready to serve and it
should look
just about like this boy was this a
really big hit for our family
the second recipe i'm going to be
sharing with you is going to be called
no peek pork chops and rice
so you're gonna need a package of
boneless pork chops with about eight to
ten
pork chops in it you're also gonna need
some onion
soup mix and you will also be needing
some cream of mushroom
chicken broth and cream of chicken
and you can use any kind of rice i
decided to use
the boil in a bag white rice because
that's all i had on hand but it worked
out perfectly
i ended up using two bags of that
and then you're just gonna need some
non-stick cooking spray
and then the seasoning of your choice i
chose nature seasoning
to season the pork chops
so go ahead and grab a mixing bowl and
mix
all of the ingredients together and stir
it up really good
and you will be ready to dump it into
your baking pan
so i have a question for you while i'm
opening this can
do you use an electric can opener or do
you use
a hand can opener just like i'm using
and do you open it like i did a lot of
people say that that is the wrong way to
use a can opener and i'm curious to know
how you do it
okay once everything is mixed together
you're ready to spray your pan down with
the
non-stick cooking spray and then pour in
all of the ingredients
now it's time to season your pork chops
you are going to season them on the
front
and on the back i like to use nature
seasoning but you can use whatever
seasoning you prefer
once your pork chops are all seasoned
you're ready to add them
to your rice mixture and make sure
they're all covered really well
now add your aluminum foil to the pan
very tightly
and you're going to cook this for an
hour and 15 minutes on
350 degrees
and once it's done and you take it out
of the oven it will look just like this
oh so delicious alex did not get to eat
this meal with us
this night because he was at work but he
did take this for leftovers and
he could not believe how good this
recipe was
by the way i will be linking all the
recipes down below
if there is a pinterest link for it or
i will be typing them out if it's just a
recipe
that i made on my own
for our third recipe i'm going to be
sharing my mexican alfredo recipe
this recipe was actually inspired by the
glam farmhouse over on
instagram she does make hers a bit
different but i thought i would share my
version over on my channel
so for this recipe you're gonna need any
box of pasta
i only use about eight ounces so keep in
mind most pasta has about 16 ounces
i use half the box you're going to need
some alfredo
you're going to need grated parmesan
some chicken tenderloins or breasts
some garlic powder and some taco
seasoning
oh yeah and don't forget the mozzarella
cheese
okay so i do have a method to my madness
but i use about
four pots or pans for this recipe
i have two pots of water boiling on the
stove
and that is for my chicken and my
noodles so i'm going to add
both of those to the pans and go ahead
and let them cook and i do
use about a pound and a half of chicken
one tip that somebody taught me before
was to add some olive oil to
your noodles to keep them from sticking
once your chicken is done boiling you
are going to shred it up
i like to use a hand mixer for mine i
think it makes it much easier
but i want to know how you shred your
chicken
now you're going to go ahead and take
another medium size pan and
pour in your jar of alfredo and then i
don't just use this jar
i actually pour a bit of water about
halfway full into the jar
shake it up and then pour the rest of
that
back into the pan to add a little bit
more and to get the rest of the alfredo
out of the jar
now you're going to be ready to add your
taco seasoning and i like to keep this
on about
medium to low heat to make sure i'm
letting all of the seasoning dissolve
now once your alfredo and your taco
seasoning is
mixed together and looks about like this
you can go ahead and add your garlic
powder
to taste and your parmesan cheese
so once again i do mix this together on
low to medium heat to make sure
everything dissolves
properly and then once that's done you
are ready to add your noodles to the big
pan
your chicken to the big pan and then
you're ready to add your alfredo sauce
after you add your alfredo sauce you are
ready to add your
mozzarella cheese and then you just stir
and serve this is so delicious y'all it
is a
family favorite and i i wish i could
cook it at least once a week
