what should I have for dinner?

Question

I'm in a dinner slump & my husband wants something good for dinner. Perferably home cooked. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich

1. Start with good beef such as Rib Eye.
2. Shave the beef very thin so it cooks quickly and remains tender.
3. Use a fresh high quality Italian roll - Amoroso’s is a favorite.
4. Decide if you want your steak with or without fried onions.
5. Decide if you want a steak or a cheesesteak. If you elect a cheesesteak you need to decide on American cheese, provolone or the Philly favorite "cheez whiz".
6. Any add-ons? Mushrooms, peppers, pizza sauce, tomatoes? You decide. It’s your sandwich.
7. Start to cook. Sauté the onions, peppers and mushrooms until soft.
8. Fry your steak until brown but not crispy or burned. You can mix in the fried vegetables now or add them at the end.
9. If you elect American cheese or provolone place the cheese on the meat until slightly melted. If you choose Cheez Whiz just smear it on the roll.
10. Place the roll over the meat/cheese/vegetables and scoop it into the sandwich.
11. Garnish your sandwich with pizza sauce, hot or sweet peppers or pickles as you choose.
12. Enjoy your Philadelphia cheesesteak.

Answer 2

Well heres an idea, seems to be hot for this fall saw it on Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals and Nigella Feasts:

How about a nice turkey chilli (put some heat on it)
Or some split pea soup -
Here's the recipe for the split pea soup.....
Just added some vegatable broth to a bag of frozen peas and cut three scallions in half...bring them to a boil for about 10 minutes.
After the peas are done, remove the scallions (they are just added to infuse flavor)
Put peas into blender and cut up a round of mozarella cheese to add to blender as well.
Blend/Puree and put that in big mugs and serve with some warm bread of choice....

I tried it a few nights ago and it was absolutely delish and I dont even like peas, so I was impressed. For the turkey chilli you can get a great recipe for that or cornbread topped chilli from Nigella's website.

Good Luck....

Answer 4

Maybe chicken stuffed with cheese and vegetables or some sort of pasta dish like lasagna or manicotti. A Mexican fiesta would be great, as well. Nothin' beats mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, a salad, some bread or biscuits, and a nice steak or pork chop nevertheless.

Answer 5

Try this:

Make meatballs:
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. ground pork
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
8 saltine crackers, crushed

Mix together and form 1" meatballs. Fry in 2 TBS. oil til brown on all sides.

Meanwhile:
Stir together:
2 cans whole berry cranberry sauce
2 cans tomato soup
and simmer for 10 mins.

Add
meatballs to sauce and simmer for 20 mins. on low.

Serve with either pasta or rice and a side salad.
I made this for my brother and his wife and for the missionaries and they all raved about it.

Answer 6

CHICKEN MARSALA - In first frying pan, Cut boneless chicken into chunks or strips, coat with flour and cook in butter until all sides just start to brown, set aside. In second frying pan, melt butter and add fresh sliced mushrooms (lots) and cook until they just start to soften, add generous amount of Marsala wine and a couple of finely diced garlic cloves and cook for three minutes. Add chicken from first pan and cook until sauce thickens (flour from chicken will thicken sauce), Add a small spritz more Marsala wine ( to refresh Marsala wine flavor) and serve immediately.
