Cooking with Demarle

This is a form of baked ziti with meat sauce, but all made in one pot. No more cooking in 2 pots on the stove and then in the oven in a third dish. The family loved this!  Ingredients: Olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 2 cloves of garlic, chopped (or these amazing frozen garlic chunks) italian seasoning (I just eyeball this, but I'm guessing I used 1 tsp of salt, pepper, 1 tbsp dried parsley, 2 tsp dried basil, or these fabulous frozen basil chunks) 1 lb ground beef (I prefer lean just so you don't have to drain it but up to you; could also use turkey, sausage, or no meat) 1 jar pasta sauce (I like the Trader Joe's tomato & basil marinara) 1 jar of water 1 15 oz can tomato sauce (or more of the jar, but this is how I made it tonight so those are the ingredients I'm listing) 1 lb your favorite tube pasta; we used penne pasta (tube just holds more stuff inside and tends to be better for this type of recipe) 1 cup mozzarella cheese, optional Se...

I kind of copied this recipe but took ideas from multiple recipes, so here's how I made it. Ingredients: 2 tbsp olive oil (or enough to coat the bottom of the IP; I added more when I added the chicken) 1 small yellow onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 jalapeno, seeds removed and diced (we ommitted this to make it not spicy but added sauteed anaheim pepper as a garnish and it was yummy!!) 1 large bell pepper, chopped 2 cups frozen corn 1 lb chicken, cut into chunks; you could also use chicken thighs, shredded chicken or rotisserie chicken. I also seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder before putting it in the pot. The chicken definitely needs seasoning, so use whatever kind of seasoning you like - spicy would work great here! Enchilada sauce; recommended is: 1 12 oz jar red enchilada sauce (about 1.5 cups) and 1 12 oz jar/can green enchilada sauce (about 1.5 cups). I prefer Rosarita red sauce and used 1.5 of the small cans and 1 12 oz ...

I should've taken photos but did not, but this photo I found looks like what ours did (thick slices and on the verge of falling apart). This was pretty good, especially considering the cut of meat. We got Eye of Round roast in our Butcher Box and weren't sure what to do with it, so this was my first Instant Pot meal and we'd consider it a success! Ingredients: 1 roast (2-4 lbs) chuck would probably be best; we used eye of round which is quite lean 2 tbsp (about) seasoning, salt, and peper 1 onion cut in wedges, separated 1/2 cup red wine (whatever kind you like to drink, but not a sweet variety) 1 1/2-2 cups broth, or water (have about 2 cups of liquid, I think, using whatever you have. Beef broth and red wine add most flavor) Sides/Veggies (extra wide egg noodles, potatoes, carrots, etc.) 1. Turn the IP on to saute and when it's ready (HOT), drizzle some EVOO or fat of some sort. I kept adding more as I browned the meat. Pat the meat dry and sprinkle libera...
