Loaded Ground Beef And Potatoes Skillet Recipe

Ingredients
1 lb Ground Beef, 96/4
20 (500g) Red and Gold Mini Potatoes, thinly sliced
4 slices Center Cut Bacon, cut into thin strips
1/4 C (60mL) Worcestershire Sauce
2 C (480mL) Skim Milk
1 C (112g) Shredded Cheddar
1 Tbsp Dry Mustard
1 Tbsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Kosher Salt
1 tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
Preheat an oven to 400ºF.
Cook the bacon in a 12" cast iron skillet (or a large oven-safe skillet) over medium-high heat before transferring to a paper towel. (Crumble and save for later.)
Drain the remaining bacon grease and place the ground beef in the skillet. Add the dry mustard, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce towards the end of cooking. Cook until no pink remains and turn off the heat.
Push the ground beef to one side of the pan and place the sliced potatoes on the bottom of the skillet before covering with the beef and repeating on the other side, creating a bottom layer of potatoes covered with the ground beef. Top with remaining potatoes.
Add the milk to the skillet and top with shredded cheddar.
Bake for 40-50 minutes or until very little liquid remains and the cheese begins to bubble and slightly brown around the edges. (If you use a fattier ground beef or full fat milk, you may want to tilt the skillet and use a paper towel to blot any extra grease runoff towards the end of cooking.)
Let the skillet cool briefly before serving. Top with the crumbled bacon and chopped green onion. Enjoy!

Pineapple Juice Cake Recipe

Ingredients
1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow or butter cake mix* (I prefer Pillsbury for this recipe. See my note below.)
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup pineapple juice
4 large eggs
For the glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup pineapple juice
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease and flour a 10 to 12-cup Bundt pan.
Use an electric mixer to combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, pineapple juice, and eggs in a large bowl. Beat about 2 minutes. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake is just starting to pull away from the sides. Allow the cake to start to cool in the pan while you make the glaze.

In a small sauce pan, combine the powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and butter. Cook over medium-low heat until the butter has melted, stirring frequently.
Use a skewer or toothpick to poke holes in the cake. Pour the warm glaze over the cake while it is still in the cake pan. It's going to seem like a lot of glaze, but just keep pouring. Allow to cool for 15 to 20 more minutes, or until the cake is cool and most of the glaze has been absorbed, then invert the cake onto a serving platter.

Okra Patties Recipe

Ingredients:
1 pound fresh okra
1 small onion
1 bell pepper
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil works well)
Instructions:
Prepare the Vegetables:

Finely chop the okra, onion, and bell pepper.
Mix the Batter:

In a large bowl, combine the chopped okra, onion, and bell pepper.
Add the cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to coat the vegetables.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk. Stir to combine.
Pour the egg mixture into the vegetable mixture and stir until well combined. The batter should be thick and hold together. If it's too dry, add a little more milk; if too wet, add a bit more cornmeal or flour.
Form the Patties:

Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the batter into your hands and form into a patty. Flatten slightly.
Carefully place the patties into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the skillet.
Cook the Patties:

Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the patties from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve:

Serve the okra patties hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish. They pair well with a spicy remoulade or a simple yogurt dip.
Enjoy your homemade okra patties!

Kentucky Fried Chicken Recipe

Ingredients
For the Spice Mix:

2/3 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon thyme
1/2 tablespoon basil
1/3 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon dried mustard
4 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons garlic salt
1 tablespoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons white pepper
For the Chicken:

1 whole chicken, cut into pieces (or an assortment of your favorite pieces)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 egg
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Prepare the Spice Mix:

In a bowl, combine all the spices listed for the spice mix. Mix them well to ensure even distribution.
Marinate the Chicken:

In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg.
Dip the chicken pieces in the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 20-30 minutes. For best results, marinate in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
Coat the Chicken:

In a large bowl or a resealable plastic bag, combine the flour and the prepared spice mix.
Dredge each piece of marinated chicken in the flour mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. You can do this one piece at a time or a few pieces at a time if using a plastic bag.
Fry the Chicken:

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large skillet to 350°F (175°C). There should be enough oil to submerge the chicken pieces.
Fry the chicken in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until the chicken is golden brown and crispy, about 12-15 minutes for thighs and drumsticks, and 10-12 minutes for wings and breasts. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Drain and Serve:

Once fried, place the chicken on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot and enjoy your homemade KFC-style chicken!
Tips for Success
Oil Temperature: Maintain the oil temperature at 350°F (175°C) to ensure the chicken cooks evenly without burning the coating.
Even Coating: Make sure each piece of chicken is evenly coated with the flour and spice mixture to achieve that classic crispy crust.
Marination: For the best flavor, marinate the chicken for several hours or overnight to let the buttermilk tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
Enjoy your homemade KFC-style fried chicken!
