It's made with lean ground beef, various vegetables, and a delicious beef broth. Soup season is in full swing here in East Texas. I couldn't be more excited. On weeknights, I like to make a soup that takes little time and ingredients that I keep in my kitchen, but on the weekends, I want to do the long and slow method. Growing up, ground beef was one of the less expensive meats to feed a family. I remember my mother would make Hamburger Soup several times in the winter months. To get a few more servings, she would stretch the recipe by adding mini pasta shells. This ground beef soup is hearty and chunky, loaded with delicious vegetables and plenty of juices for a chunk of cornbread to soak them up.

As soon as the weather cools, I start cooking comfort food, like this Super Easy Baked Ziti. Total comfort food in a bowl. Baked Ziti is the Mother of all pasta dishes. The recipe has existed in Italy for ages. There are so many ways to make it, including making the sauces from scratch or using a jar sauce, mixing the sauces together or not, and using ricotta or not. I make a lot of casserole recipes from scratch, but this is one time I prefer to use the jar sauce. The recipe just became Americanized. I like Rao's brand for the jar sauce for the Homemade Marinara and Alfredo sauce.

It is probably the most straightforward pasta dish I have ever made. When I say simple, everything gets baked together until the tomatoes burst, releasing all their jamminess.

Sesame Ginger Bone In Pork Chops
Juicy, tender pork chops marinated with a sesame ginger vinaigrette and baked in the oven to perfection. 2-Ingredient Baked Sesame Ginger Pork Chops A brief time in the refrigerator gives the bone in thick pork chops loads of flavor while tenderizing the meat.

Still delicious. I like to cook thick cut porterhouse pork chops with the bone in them because there is so much more flavor. Other cuts of pork chops will work, like boneless pork chops, sirloin pork chops, and thin cut pork chops, sometimes called rib pork chops. There is no need to complicate dinner when you can make this simple meal that everyone will enjoy. You will only need two ingredients, Maria's Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette and pork chops. Once they go in the oven, you can have a wholesome meal on the table in less than 45 mi
