This mouthwatering ham recipe is great for a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner main dish. Grab that spiral-cut ham and create a juicy ham with a sticky glaze bursting with sweet and savory flavors. Holiday dinners just got a whole lot tastier. 

Check out how to make a spiral ham in the Instant Pot, try this double-smoked ham I made for my Easter dinner a few years back, or whip up this satisfying bourbon-glazed ham.

Reasons To Make This Brown Sugar Pineapple Ham 

• This is an easy recipe that requires just four ingredients to make. 
• The pineapple provides moisture and the brown sugar creates a caramelized crust for both flavor and texture.
• The perfect recipe to elevate your spiral-cut ham you grabbed at the grocery store. 
• Great for a special occasion or holiday feast. 
• Offers an excellent presentation value for your dinner table. 

Ingredients at a Glance

• Spiral bone-in ham (pre-cooked)
• Pineapple slices
• Brown sugar
• Dijon Mustard

Step-by-Step Baking Instructions

Open the can of pineapple slices and generously arrange them between the ham slices. Pull apart the slices and place the pineapple in the sliced ham. 

Then, you will take the juice from the can of pineapple and pour it over the whole ham. 

Next, sprinkle the brown sugar over the top and sides of the ham. Then, use your hands to rub the ham down with the mustard and mix it with the brown sugar. 

Cover the ham with a lid or aluminum foil, and bake as directed.  Be sure to baste the ham once or twice during baking to lock in flavor and keep it moist.

Once done, let cool for a bit, then slice and serve up this brown sugar ham. 

Easy Variations to Try

• Use maple syrup instead of brown sugar for a sweet maple glaze. It offers more of a fall flavor to the oven-baked ham recipe. 
• Experimenting with a splash of bourbon or a touch of cayenne brings a fun twist that still keeps this recipe approachable.
• You can swap and use honey mustard, making it sweeter and tangier. Or go to a new level and do a Dijon or whole grain mustard for a spicier flavor. 
• Add crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to heat the fresh ham. 
• You can reach for your favorite herbs to garnish and cook with the pineapple ham. It will add more flavor to the recipe. 
• If you want to add a whole new level of depth, you can add a splash of bourbon to the pineapple ham recipe. It makes this a tasty holiday meal main course. 
• Top the ham with a maraschino cherry for a traditional topper for your ham. 

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

Any leftover ham and pineapple can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. 

Then, you can reheat it in the microwave, oven, or even the air fryer. 

You can also freeze the ham in a freezer-friendly container for 2-3 months. Then, thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat as you wish.

Equipment

• Casserole Dish
• Measuring Cups 

Ingredients

• 2 pound spiral ham
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 1 can spiral ham
• 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

• To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Unwrap the pre-cooked spiral ham and place it in a large, oven-safe casserole dish.
• Open the can of pineapple slices and generously arrange them between the slices of ham.
• Pour the juice from the can of pineapple slices over the ham and pineapple.
• Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the pineapple slices and ham. Rub the ham with Dijon mustard. You can adjust the amount of brown sugar to suit your sweetness preference. The sugar will caramelize during cooking, creating a delectable crust.
• Cover the ham with aluminum foil, ensuring that it’s tightly sealed. This will help trap the moisture and flavors as the ham slow-cooks.
• Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and let it cook for approximately 1.5 hours.
• The exact cooking time may vary depending on the size of your ham, so keep an eye on it. The goal is to heat the ham through and allow the flavors to meld.
• Periodically check the ham and baste it with the delicious juices that collect in the dish. This step ensures that your ham stays moist, flavorful, and beautifully glazed.
• If your ham came with a glaze package, you can elevate the flavors even further. Mix the glaze with a few tablespoons of the pineapple juice, creating a luscious glaze. Brush this glaze over the ham for an extra layer of sweetness and shine.
• Once your ham is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it into generous portions, making sure to include the pineapple slices. Enjoy!

Why This Works…

The oven becomes your grill without the flare-ups — and you can walk away while it cooks.

• Easy prep and easy to prepare the hamburger meat.

• Versatile in seasoning the perfect burger. Feel free to season as you would prefer. 

Ingredients

Ground Beef – “I use 90/10 ground beef to strike the perfect balance: enough fat for flavor, not so much that the patties get greasy.

Seasonings  – I use just salt and black pepper to flavor the oven-baked burgers. Feel free to use onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, season salt, Cajun seasoning, or whatever you prefer in terms of flavor. Or use a burger seasoning you know and love. 

Buns and Toppings – These are optional. But we love to toast our buns and add lettuce, ketchup, mustard, pickles, etc. If you like a cheeseburger then add a slice of cheddar cheese to the end of the cooking process of the juicy burgers in the oven. Let the cheese get nice and melted. 

Variations

Burger Patty – You can also swap in ground turkey or chicken — just keep in mind they’ll cook a bit faster and may need a light spray of oil to stay moist.”

Slice of Cheese – Add a slice of cheese to transform a burger into a cheeseburger. Cheddar cheese, Swiss, Pepper Jack, mozzarella, or any other type of cheese you prefer works. Add the last 2-3 minutes of cooking to the juicy hamburgers. 

Steak Sauce or BBQ Sauce – Feel free to mix in a bit of steak sauce or even BBQ sauce to the hamburger patty meat for added flavor to the mixture. Alternatively, you can also cook the burgers for the last 5 minutes of the oven’s cooking time for added flavor. 

Favorite Burger Toppings – Pile on lettuce, tomatoes, pickle, red onion, sliced bacon, secret sauce, caramelized onions, soft-boiled egg, etc. Feel free to make this quick meal idea as simple or as elaborate as you would like. This is an easy dinner recipe that you can honestly top any way you want. 

Tips On How To Make Hamburger Patties

Here are some tips for making hamburger patties. Learn how to make hamburger patties perfectly every time. This is the best burger recipe, hands down when it comes to simplicity and allowing the meat to be the star.

• Crumble the burger in a bowl.
• Add a little salt and pepper to the meat and gently mix with your hands.
• Grab a bit of the meat, and then form a patty in your hand.
• Do not press the burgers too tightly, as this will make them dense and heavy.
• Pro tip: pressing a small thumb-indent in each patty helps them cook evenly and keeps the edges from curling.
• Cook hamburgers in oven as directed.

How to Make

Full directions on how to make this burger in the oven recipe are in the printable recipe card. This is a visual walk through.

Start by seasoning your meat, and then shaping into patties. I did four patties with one pound of ground beef.

Place burgers in a preheated oven and cook for 20-25 minutes or until your burgers are fully cooked. Depending on size of burgers and thickness varies in cook time.

If you want to add cheese to make oven baked cheeseburgers add on in the last 2 minutes. Remove from oven.

Add to a toasted bun, and pile high with all your fixings.

How to Toast Hamburger Buns

1. In a skillet on the stove, heat on medium heat, and add a drizzle of oil.
2. Place the buns in the skillet, rub them with oil, and press them down lightly.
3. Let the center of the buns cook for a couple of minutes, and then remove them when toasted.
4. Than serve!

Storing Leftovers (and Re-heating Without Sacrificing Juiciness)

While fresh is best, these reheated patties are still great layered in a salad or chopped into a sandwich the next day.

To be honest, burgers are always best served fresh and warm. If you happen to prefer to save some back just store in a container in the fridge. It will last 2-3 days.

Reheat in the microwave or warm up in a skillet on medium-low heat. Both methods work great.

Making Large Batch – You can make as many hamburgers as you would like. I just prefer to make for a crowd. Just use a rimmed pan, to catch the grease that bakes off.

Seasoning – You can use any seasonings you want to flavor your burgers. I just enjoy salt and pepper for this burgers in oven recipe.

Ingredients

• Ground Beef
• Sweet Corn
• Green Beans
• Cream of Chicken
• Salt
• Pepper
• Frozen Tater Tots
• Shredded Cheese

How To Make Tater Tot Casserole

To begin, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease the casserole dish with cooking spray, and set your prepared casserole dish to the side. 

In a large skillet, cook your ground beef until it is fully cooked and no longer pink. Drain off the excess grease. 

Mix the cooked ground beef, cream of chicken, corn, green beans, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Grease a casserole dish and evenly spread the ground beef mixture on the bottom. Next, add half of the cheese on top of the beef mixture. Place the tater tots on top of the cheese, arranging them in even rows if desired or simply tossing them on.

Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tater tots are crispy and the soup layer is hot. Add more time if needed. 

Once done, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the casserole and broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese has melted and is golden brown. 

Serve and enjoy.

Variations and Tips & Tricks

• Season as desired. Add your favorite seasonings to the soup mixture. We like ours simple with salt and pepper, but anything you like should work. 
• Swap the soup. Not a fan of cream of chicken? That is no problem; swap it for cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery instead. 
• Different cheese works. We used sharp cheddar cheese, but Colby jack, mozzarella, or even pepper jack would be tasty options. 
• Shred the cheese yourself. I promise shredding the cheese is simple and tastes way better than bagged cheese. 
• Crispy Tots: Make sure you allow your tots on top to get nice and crispy. This will help add flavor and texture to the meat mixture. Adjust the cooking time as needed.
• Preheated Oven: Take the time to start with a preheated oven, and make sure to prep your baking dish. 

Storing

You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat it in the microwave or opt to heat it in the oven. You can also freeze any leftovers if you want. You can freeze for 1-3 months in a freezer-friendly container. Then thaw in the fridge overnight, reheat, and enjoy.

Refried Beans—This is an extra item you can add to the dish. We loved the refried beans mixed in with the meat mixture. They added a lot of flavor to the dish.

Shredded Cheese – I used a Mexican cheese blend but any of your favorite cheese blends works.

Rotel—Rotel is diced tomatoes and green chiles. Do not drain the can, as the liquid helps keep the filling moist rather than dry.

Swaps and Substitutions

• Use a different flavor of Doritos—like Cool Ranch Doritos or even taco-flavored. Or go classic and reach for regular tortilla chips. 
• Leave out refried beans or swap in black beans for a twist on flavor to the ground beef mixture. 
• Mix in drained corn, black olives, bell peppers, etc. 
• Use diced tomatoes if you don’t have or like green chilis. 
• You can use any type of shredded cheese. Pepper jack cheese, Monterey jack cheese, or any other variety works. Use lots of cheese for a cheesy casserole. 
• Mix 4 ounces of cream cheese with the ground beef mixture for an even cheesier texture. 
• Replace Rotel tomatoes with salsa if you would like. 
• You can use a green salsa for a twist on flavor. 

How to Make 

Step One: In a pan, add your ground beef and onions. Then you will cook until no longer pink. Drain off any excess oil on the meat.

Step Two: Next, add your taco seasoning and water to the pan. Mix well so the meat is fully seasoned.

Step Three: The next step is to stir in the refried beans and then pour in the Rotel and sour cream. Remove from heat and stir until combined.

Step Four: Next, crumble some chips and place them in the bottom of your casserole dish. Sprinkle on a thin layer of cheese.

Step Five: Pour the meat mixture over the chips, and top with shredded cheese and crumbled Doritos.

Step Six: Place in a preheated oven and cook for 10 minutes. Remove and serve up your Dorito casserole.

How to Serve

We ate this Mexican ground beef casserole as a meal in one. We piled it high with lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, etc. 

You could easily pair with your favorite vegetable side dish, salad, etc. 

Storage

In the Fridge: The Doritos casserole will store in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave or oven wrapped in foil. 

In the Freezer: You can freeze leftovers. Once froze and thawed, the top chips will change in texture. You can freeze the casserole for 2-3 months and then put it in the fridge overnight. 

Pro Tips

• Drain off any excess grease from the ground beef before adding the other ingredients.
• If you do not want to eat soggy chips, skip the bottom layer. We like the bottom layer, as it adds tons of flavor to the casserole.
• The meat mixture is wet, but we prefer a creamier casserole instead of dried-out.
• You can use hot or medium seasoning to add some spice, and the same goes for the Rotel.

Making homemade bierocks or runzas, as some people call them, doesn’t have to take all day! Our entire family goes wild for this bierocks recipe.

BUT…I don’t love making the bread from scratch every time. I will do it on occasion, but it takes me all day. This is great on those days when I have tons of time. However, I wanted to find an easier and quicker way to give similar results.

I’m happy to report that using dinner rolls is faster, and the flavor will rock your world.

Why This Recipe Works

• They are incredible and easy to make.
• Easy and convenient for a simple dinner idea.
• Faster than traditional recipes!
• Crowd-Pleasing and family approved.
• Simple to adjust ingredients to fit your taste buds.
• Only six ingredients are needed! Budget-friendly.

Ingredients

• Bag of Frozen Dinner Rolls – I used Rhodes Rolls
• Ground beef
• Sliced Cheese
• Cabbage
• Salt & Pepper
• Butter (optional)

Helpful Supplies

You don’t need much to make this Bierocks recipe, but I find a few helpful items. 

• Large Skillet 
• Baking Sheets 
• Sharp Knife 
• Cutting Board 

Directions

Place the dinner rolls on a greased baking sheet. To raise the dough, follow the directions on the roll package.

While the dough is rising, cook the ground beef. Once the meat is browned, add it to a large pan with the cabbage and 2 tablespoons of water. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and add a lid. Turn heat to low-medium. Stir every 5 minutes until the cabbage softens to the desired texture. This usually takes around 10-15 minutes, depending on your preference.

Take one dinner roll and carefully pull on it to flatten it out. Lay it down, add 1/2 – 1 slice of cheese, and fill it with 1/4 cup of filling.

Flatten out another dinner roll and place it on top of the first roll. Pinch the edges and put it on the greased baking sheet.

Bake for 20-22 minutes at 375 degrees. If they aren’t done, cook them a little longer.

Take them out of the oven, put a stick of butter on them, and add it to the top of each bierock.

 Variations to Recipe 

 Meat – You can use ground pork, turkey, or other ground meat to replace the beef.

Saurkraut—You can swap the shredded cabbage for sauerkraut if you like. I prefer cabbage, but I know some use jarred or bagged sauerkraut. 

Dough—If you prefer, you can substitute homemade bread dough, crescent rolls, or biscuit dough. You could even make sourdough bierocks with some fresh sourdough. 

Vegetarian—You can substitute ground beef for the cabbage mixture with sauteed mushrooms, onions, and other veggies.

Spicy: To make the filling carry a kick, add red pepper flakes, hot sauce, chili flakes, etc.  

Tips For Making

• Be sure to cook your ground beef thoroughly and allow the cabbage to wilt to your liking. 
• Working on a floured surface is helpful when spreading bread dough so it doesn’t stick to the counter. 
• You can brush rolls with an egg wash if you want the bierocks to get golden browner as they bake in the oven. 
• Do not overfill the dough. Only place it in the center of the dough, and leave the edges of the dough free of filling so it seals. 
• Press the edges of the dough together well so that the little pockets stay together as they bake. 

Storing

Refrigerate: Store your bierocks in an airtight container in the fridge. They can be stored for 2-3 days in a sealed container. Then, reheat in the microwave or the oven. 

Freezer: You can freeze the beef hot pockets. Wrap each in plastic or sandwich bags and place them in a freezer container. Freeze for 3-4 months. Then thaw in the fridge overnight or defrost straight from the freezer.

I share how to cook these sliced potatoes in the oven or you can cook in the air fryer, while both offer that crispy outside and fluffy tender center.

Consider these smashed potatoes for a crispy potato recipe. Or even these twice-baked potatoes, smoked gouda mashed potatoes, or even dive into these scalloped potatoes with ham.

Ingredients You Need

Potatoes – I find that potatoes that offer a thinner skin like these golden potatoes or baby potatoes are best. They are the perfect size and offer a nice crunchy outside texture.

Oil – Avocado or olive oil are great options for drizzling on these air fryer potatoes.

Seasoning – I used a bit of salt and that was it. But you are welcome to use other seasonings if you would like. From season salt, creole seasoning, etc.

How to Make

Full steps on how to make accordion potatoes are featured at the very bottom of the post. Scroll to the bottom, this is a quick visual walk-through.

1. Peel the potatoes and run them under cold water to wash off excess starch. Or if you prefer you can leave the skins on if you want a chewier texture.
2. You will create thin slices all along the potato, but make sure you do not slice the potatoes all the way through, as you want the potatoes to stay held together.
3. Cover the potatoes with oil and season liberally with salt or other spices of choice.

4. Put the potatoes in a preheated air fryer or bake them in the oven as directed until they are golden brown. You will flip the potatoes halfway through the baking. Both directions for cooking methods are in the printable recipe card.

5. Once the potatoes are done serve hot and fresh.

Tips For Success

• You can place a chopstick or kebab stick on each side of the potato. So when you go to slice you ensure you don’t cut all the way through the potato.
• Use a yellow potato or baby potato. You will find that Russets or Yukon Golds have too much starch, and will not air fry properly.
• Aim for even slices on the potatoes. That will ensure the proper texture.
• Rinsing off the potatoes after slicing ensures they remove any excess starch.

Variations To Recipe

Those are a few ways to change up the recipe to fit your taste buds. Feel free to try different methods as you wish.

• Season with pepper, herbs, or any of your favorite spices or spice blends. I used plain salt but you can pick and choose what you want.
• Brush with melted butter once the potatoes are done for added flavor.
• Top with some grated cheese, crumbled bacon, green onions, and more.
• Sprinkle with parmesan cheese on top of the cooked potatoes.
• Dip your potatoes in a homemade ranch or sauce of your choice.

Storing Leftovers

Refrigerate – Refrigerate any of the leftover potatoes in a sealed container in the fridge for 2-4 days. Then you can eat cold or warm them up in the microwave, air fryer, or oven.

Freezing – You can also freeze any of the potatoes you don’t plan to eat right away. Freeze for 2-3 months in a sealed freezer container. Then reheat from frozen or thaw in the fridge overnight then reheat.

Equipment

• Air Fryer optional
• Baking Sheet optional
• Sharp Knife

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Golden Small Potatoes
• 1 1/2 tablespoons oil
• salt to taste

Instructions

• Peel your potatoes if you would like. Then rinse in cold water to remove excess starch.
• Slice the potatoes almost all the way through, leaving the bottom part of the potato un-cut so it keeps the potato together. Do 1/8 inch apart.
• Cover the potatoes with oil and then season with salt.
• Place them in a preheated air fryer at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Flip at the 15 minute mark, and then cook another 15-20 minutes to get nice and crispy.

  Or you will place potatoes on a sheet pan that is greased. Then bake at 400 degrees in a preheated oven. After 20 minutes flip the potatoes over and cook another 15-20 minute or until the potatoes are fully cooked and crispy.

Notes

Cook Time – Just know that the size of the potatoes will of course alter the cook time of the potatoes. So smaller potatoes will cook faster than larger potatoes. 

Cooking Method – Use either method for cooking the potatoes. The goal is crispy outside and fluffy center. 

Seasoning – You can flavor your potatoes any way you want. Different herbs or spices. Top with shredded cheese, bacon, etc. Or opt for plain.

This is a great casserole to make for a busy weeknight when you want something with minimal prep and a hands-off cooking approach. My tater tot chicken casserole is always in rotation in our home. Try this layered enchilada casserole for another weeknight dinner idea.

This chicken bacon ranch tater tot casserole is one that is similar to a crack chicken. Delicious ranch and bacon flavor paired with ranch. Give this cracked chicken and spaghetti squash a try for another easy dish. Or try this slow cooker Olive Garden chicken pasta.

Why Make This Easy Chicken Casserole…

• A simple weeknight meal that can be made with a few minutes of prep.
• Freezer-friendly dinner that you can save for another meal down the line.
• Versatile in ingredients you use to make this creamy chicken tater tot casserole.
• Family-friendly and kid-friendly ingredients.
• This casserole is topped with crispy and crunchy tater tots that bring the whole dish together.

Ingredients You Will Need

Chicken – You will use shredded cooked chicken for this casserole. You can use diced or shredded chicken.

Cream of Chicken Soup – Reach for your condensed cream of chicken soup to mix in to make this a creamy chicken casserole.

Sour Cream – This is going to help give a super creamy casserole. If you are not a fan of sour cream you can use plain yogurt if you would like.

Milk – Whole milk will give the casserole a richer flavor.

Ranch Seasoning – You need to use dry ranch powder for this recipe. It is going to add the perfect ranch flavor to the casserole.

Tater Tots – The topping is, of course, tater tots. You will line them up in a single layer.

Cheese – Colby Jack is what I used for this. The cheese adds a nice little tangy bite that balances out the flavors.

Bacon – Cook up your bacon and chop it into smaller crumbles. The salty component is so good next to the chicken and ranch flavor. Check out how to make bacon in the oven!

Tomatoes and Green Onions – I used both to garnish the top of the casserole. These are of course optional.

How to Make

Full steps on how to make this chicken tater tot casserole are in the printable recipe card below.

1. Preheat the oven and prep your casserole dish with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl add your soup, sour cream, milk, ranch seasoning, minced onions, and pepper. Mix to combine.
3. Fold in the chicken, stirring to combine.
4. Place part of the tater tots on the bottom of the casserole pan.

5. Pour the chicken mixture over the top. Then add cheese and bacon on top.

6. Place the remaining tots and dry ranch over the top of the chicken casserole.
7. Bake until cooked through. Then add more cheese and bacon. Heat to melt the cheese.
8. Sprinkle with green onions and tomatoes over the casserole. Then dish up and enjoy.

Variations to Recipe

• Swap the chicken with diced turkey.
• Leave out the ranch if you are not a fan.
• Skip the bacon or swap it with diced ham.
• Don’t add a layer of tots on the bottom of the pan if you prefer just crispy tots.
• Leave off the tomatoes and green onions on top.
• Add a dollop of sour cream or even salsa for added flavor.

Storing Leftovers

Refrigerate – Go right ahead and refrigerate any leftovers you have. Place in a sealed container for up to 2-3 days. Then when you are ready reheat in the microwave or oven.

Freezer – You can freeze any leftovers in the freezer. I do recommend that you remove the tomatoes and green onions on top as they will not freeze and thaw well.

Freezer Meal – You can also freeze the chicken casserole before it is baked if you want. Just assemble it as you wish and then cover it well and freeze it for 3-4 months.

How to Cook from Frozen – Then when you want to cook the casserole you will cover it with foil and then bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Remove the foil, and then continue baking until the casserole is fully warmed and the tots are crispy.

Serving Suggestions

Not sure what to serve with your casserole? Consider pairing it with a vegetable side dish for a lighter twist. Or you could even pair them with these cinnamon-fried apples for a sweet twist to the savory.

Or serve it up with a simple side salad, or eat the chicken ranch casserole alone.

Ranch – Make sure you are using the dry seasoning ranch and not liquid ranch. It will ruin the texture of the casserole. 

Cheese – Any type of cheese works for this recipe if you want to change up the type of cheese used. 

Chicken – The chicken needs to be fully cooked and diced or shredded. You will not want to use raw chicken for this recipe. You can pan-sear or bake chicken and then slice it up for the recipe if you don’t have any pre-cooked chicken on hand. Yes, you can use canned chicken if that is all you have.

• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
• Fresh chopped cilantro for topping optional

Instructions

• Begin by greasing a baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.
• Cook the pasta according to the package instructions and set it aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, shredded chicken, one cup of cheese, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, salsa, and taco seasoning.
• Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the spaghetti mixture.
• Cover the baking dish with foil and bake it in a preheated oven at 350F for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Once done, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Chicken – You can use shredded or diced chicken. If you don’t have any made in advance you can use a rotisserie chicken. Or cook your chicken in a skillet or oven and then dice up for the casserole. 

Pasta – Cook your pasta till al dente if you don’t want a softer pasta in the casserole. 

Vegetables – If you want you can add in some drained canned corn or frozen corn. Or drain and rinse beans and mix in for added protein.

When you sauteed or roast cabbage you will find it transforms its flavor just like a Brussels sprouts. Rich and flavorful and bursting with incredible seasonings. While I love a good coleslaw, there is something about roasted cabbage that is unbeatable in terms of flavor.

If you are a fan of cabbage try my fried cabbage with bacon. This is a traditional recipe and boy is it addictive to make.

This Cabbage Steaks Recipe Is…

• Oven Roasted
• Uses 6 Ingredients
• Can Change Spices Up To Fit Your Preference
• Easy Side Dish or Main Dish if Vegetarian or Vegan
• Hearty
• Comfort Food

List of Ingredients Needed

Here is an overview of what you will need but the measurements and full directions are at the bottom of the post in the printable recipe card.

• Oil – Olive oil.
• Cabbage – Green cabbage, 1-inch steak slices.
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• Garlic Powder
• Chili Powder

Variations To Recipe

Seasonings – Go right ahead and swap the type of seasonings you would like. I did a basic mix but feel free to use your favorite spices. Even a creole seasoning tastes delicious on this cabbage steak recipe.

Oil – If you don’t have olive oil, reach for avocado oil or even a canola or vegetable oil. The oil is going to help create crispy golden edges on cabbage and help it from sticking to the pan.

How to Make

Full steps are in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a visual walk through for readers.

Step 1: Slice Cabbage Into Steaks

With a sharp knife you will slice your cabbage into 1-inch thickness steaks. This is going to be your steak size that will mostly hold shape and cook up perfectly in the oven.

Step 2: Season

Season with the spices and drizzle with the oil as directed. Do a single layer of steaks on a prepped baking sheet. I like to use a rimmed baking sheet.

Step 3: Roast in Oven

Roast the cabbage in the oven as directed. You will get a nice golden color on top and some smaller pieces can even leave a char look to the cabbage. Once done serve immediately!

Storing Leftovers

If you do not eat all of the baked cabbage slices simply store them in the fridge in an airtight container. The steaks will store for 2-3 days.

Reheat in the microwave for a quick reheat, or opt to reheat in the oven. Do 350 degrees F. Then place the cabbage back on a baking sheet and heat for 5 minutes or until warmed through.

Ways to Serve Roasted Cabbage Steaks

As Is – Serve as is for a main dish for a vegetarian or vegan. This is a great alternative to a meat protein.

Side Dish – Pair as a side dish to go next to a juicy steak (my favorite) or even some grilled chicken. It is tasty to pair with the cabbage and meat.

Rice or Pasta – If you want the cabbage to be the main event, serve over or with a side of rice or pasta. The cabbage will create tons of flavor and the pasta or rice will act as a filler.

Equipment

• Baking Sheet
• Sharp Knife for Slicing

Ingredients

• 1 head green cabbage
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon chili powder

Instructions

• Grease your baking sheet with cooking spray. I like to line my baking sheet with foil and then spray with cooking spray for easy cleanup. But that is optional.
• Next you will rinse cabbage and remove any leaves that are tore or loose. Then slice from top to bottom in 1" thick round slices.
• Place the cabbage steaks in a single layer on the baking sheet or on a cutting board.
• Mix up the seasonings or add them on one at a time. Do both sides of the cabbage wedges. I season one side, then place the steaks on the pan and season the other side on the pan.
• Drizzle the seasoned cabbage steaks with the oil and roast in the oven at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
• Then at this time flip the cabbage steaks and roast another 10-15 minutes or until the cabbage reaches your desired doneness.

Notes

Seasonings – Reach for any seasonings you like. A simple salt and pepper, creole, garlic salt and parsley, etc. Any seasonings work. 

Thickness – Aim for 3/4-1″ thick on steaks. This is important so they hold shape. If they somewhat fall apart when you flip, it is okay, it will still taste delicious.

Oven-roasted cauliflower pairs well with pork chops, baked chicken, steak and more. It is a versatile side dish that takes no time to prep. This is one of my favorite side dish recipes I make often.

Give my broccoli salad a try that is full of bacon and cheese. Or if you like sweet and savory try these green beans with bacon.

This Cauliflower Recipe Is…

• Crispy golden edges
• Slight nutty flavor
• Made with parmesan cheese for a tangy twist
• Bite-sized pieces
• Easy recipe
• Simple side dish

This roasted vegetable recipe is great with fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, or even a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top. No matter how you finalize this dish is going to be a hit.

Ingredients Needed

Head of Cauliflower – I used a whole head of cauliflower that I cut up into florets. This averaged about 3-4 cups of cauliflower. You are welcome to buy prepared cauliflower florets.

Oil – Olive oil or vegetable or canola oil will work.

Garlic – Mince garlic to use for flavoring the cauliflower.

Salt and Pepper – You will season to taste.

Parmesan – Grated parmesan compliments the cauliflower and garlic perfectly.

Tools Needed

• Rimmed Baking Sheet
• Mixing Bowl
• Tongs

How to Make

Full steps and measurements for the roasted cauliflower are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post. Scroll to the bottom for the printable card.

Step One: Preheat the oven at 400 degrees and allow the oven to fully get heated.

Step Two: Next you will wash and prep your cauliflower and cut into florets. Then place it in a bowl.

Step Three: Add in your spices and oil and toss to coat. You want it to evenly coat the vegetable. Then spread it out on your baking sheet.

Step Four: Bake as directed, and then flip over the cauliflower and finish baking. Once done serve and enjoy.

Air Fryer Directions

If you own an air fryer you can take your cauliflower head and transform it into this delicious side dish. Grab that fresh cauliflower and get to air frying!

Prep the cauliflower as you would and then place in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Then air fryer at 390 degrees for 13-15 minutes. You will flip the cauliflower over half way through the cook time.

Depending on the size of your florets the cook time can vary. For larger pieces they will take longer than small florets. The biggest thing is an even layer, and if you need batch cook.

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftovers you have in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or warm it up on a sheet pan in the oven. Just heat until it is warmed all the way through.

How to Make Breaded Pork Chops

Here is all you need for this breaded baked pork chops recipe!

Step One: Preheat And Prep Pan

Start by preheating your oven, and prepping a rimmed baking sheet. 

Step Two: Season Dry Ingredients

Add your dry ingredients and spices to the flour mixture in a bowl. Mix well. 

Step Three: Egg Wash

Whisk your egg and place in a shallow bowl. Then pat dry your pork chops with a paper towel. 

Note: I used about 1 inch boneless pork chops. Adjust cook time depending on thickness. 

Step Four: Dredge and Heat Oil

Heat the oil in the skillet. Once hot dip raw pork chops in the egg mixture then the flour mixture. Coat both sides of the pork chop. 

Step Five: Sear Pork and Bake

Pan sear to create a crust and then flip and repeat for the other side. Then remove from pan and bake in the oven as directed below. 

Pair these oven baked pork chops with your favorite sides and ring that dinner bell.

How to Know Pork Chops Are Fully Cooked?

Grab a meat thermometer and make sure the internal temperature reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Depending on the thickness of your chops the cook time in the oven will vary. So if the pork is not fully cooked when the time is up, return to oven and cook longer. 

Storing Leftovers

Refrigerate – Take any of your breaded pork chops and place in an airtight container. Refrigerate for 2-3 days. 

Freezing – Feel free to freeze any leftovers as well. Freeze in a freezer friendly bag or container for 1-3 months. Thaw in fridge overnight, then reheat. 

How To Reheat Leftovers

Microwave – Place pork on a plate and heat for 45 seconds or so. Then carefully flip over and heat for additional time until your chops are warmed. 

Oven – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place pork chops in a single layer and then bake for 10-15 minutes or until warmed up. 

The oven method will give you a crunchier texture on the breading. Where as the microwave can be a bit soggy, 

Pro Tips For Success

• If you want to use regular breadcrumbs go ahead. Panko breadcrumbs just have a bit more crunch. 
• Some recommend a little pink left in pork chops to ensure they are juicy. 
• Let the pork rest 5-10 minutes once you remove from the oven. This locks in the juices and prevents a dry chop! 
• Pan searing the chops at first helps to ensure you have a crunchy coating.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless pork chops mine were 1 inch thick
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon oil
• Salt and Pepper to Taste
• 2 eggs whisked
• ¾ cup Panko bread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan grated (optional)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Set aside. 
• Next you will add your flour, bread crumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Mix well. 
• In another bowl add eggs and mix with a whisk. 
• Heat your oil in a skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. 
• Pat pork chops dry then dip in the egg mixture. Next dip in the flour mixture, coating both sides. 
• When the oil in the skillet is hot place pork chops in skillet and cook for 1-3 minutes per side. 
• You only want to crisp up the coating, not fully cook the breaded pork chops. 
• Once chops are golden seared so a single layer on baking sheet.

• Let your baked pork chops rest 5-10 minutes then serve! 

Notes

Let Chops Rest – Letting your pork chops rest for 5-10 minutes once done helps to lock in juices.  This will give you a nice juicy chop. 

Bread Crumbs – You can use regular breadcrumbs as well. Just if you use Italian flavor crumbs, do not add the Italian seasoning into the flour mixture. 

Double Recipe – Feel free to make as many or as few pork chops as you would like. Just do a single layer of chops for frying and baking.

• Basic Recipe

• Delicious Pork Chops
• Family Friendly Dinner

Ingredients List

Pork Chops – You will want to use either a boneless or bone-in pork chop. Bone-in I find stays juicy where boneless can dry out a bit easier.

Beef Consomme – You can find this in the canned soup area of the grocery store. It is going to add so much richness to the pork and rice dish.

French Onion Soup Mix – Reach for a packet of onion soup mix. This will really enhance the flavor of the rice completely.

White Rice – Now I used a long grain white rice. But you can swap it out with a different variety of rice but you will need to adjust the water to rice ratio and cook time.

Butter – You will slice up half a stick of butter and place on top of the rice. This is going to give the rice a richer flavor, and of course the pork chops as well.

Salt and Pepper – You will lightly season the pork chops before baking. I just did a little salt and black pepper.

Worcestershire Sauce – This is going to deepen the flavor of this pork chop dinner.

How to Make

Full steps on how to make pork chops and rice are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a quick visual walk through on how to make this baked pork chops.

Step One: First you are going to preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Then spray pan with cooking spray.

Step Two: Next pour in the rice, can of beef consomme, can of water, Worcestershire sauce, and French onion soup mix. Stir to combine the items in the baking dish.

Step Three: Slice your butter into thin cubes and place over the rice bake in the pan.

Step Four: Top the rice mixture with your pork chops. Then season with salt and pepper.

Step Five: Cover with aluminum foil and bake as directed. Once the pork chops and rice casserole is done dish up and enjoy.

Then dish up these tender pork chops and rice for an easy dinner idea.

Storing Leftovers

So if you have leftovers you can store the pork and rice casserole in an airtight container in the fridge. The leftovers reheat pretty well. Warm in the microwave or cover with foil and bake in the oven until it is heated through.

I do find you can freeze the leftovers as well. The one thing to note is the rice will become a lot softer once it has been frozen and thawed. I find the tender rice tastes best fresh or reheated from the microwave and not frozen. But it is up to you if you want to try and freeze.

This is an easy dinner recipe that is great for a busy night. This Swiss chicken casserole takes minimal ingredients, and is loaded with flavor. Pair with green beans and dinner rolls and ring that dinner bell.

This Swiss Chicken Recipe Is..

• Casserole Dish
• Skinless Chicken Breasts Recipe ( Try my Marry Me Chicken)
• Creamy Sauce
• Family Favorite (whole family approved)
• Easy Chicken Dinner
• Reheats Well

Ingredients

You will see this delicious dinner recipe uses simple ingredients that you might have on hand already. Great for busy nights when you want a simple dinner that you can toss in the oven and let it handle the rest.

Chicken – You will want to use any chicken that is boneless. Chicken breast is great for white meat and chicken thighs that are boneless offer a great dark meat flavor.

Swiss Cheese – I love to buy block Swiss and then grate it as it offers the best creamy texture.

Stovetop Stuffing – Now you could flavor breadcrumbs and go that route, but I find stuffing works just as good, and eliminates the prep.

Cream of Chicken Soup – Condensed chicken soup is great as it is going to help give you that creamy sauce to compliment the chicken.

Broth – You can use milk instead of chicken broth, but I find broth is a great way to add a bit more richness into the chicken casserole.

How to Make

Full directions on how to make this Swiss chicken bake is in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a visual walk through on how it is made.

Step One: Preheat the oven and prep your 9×13 casserole dish. Set it aside.

Step Two: Now you will place your chicken in the casserole dish in a single layer.

Step Three: Then you will sprinkle your shredded cheese over the chicken. Then pour the stuffing over the top of the cheese.

Step Four: In a small bowl, add your cream of chicken soup and broth. Mix well to combine.

Step Five: Pour the mixture over the whole casserole dish. Cover the dish with tin foil and bake as directed.

Step Six: At the end of cooking remove foil to allow it to brown up the top of the chicken casserole. When the chicken is fully cooked, dish up the Swiss chicken.

Variations and Tips For Success

You might know of this chicken bake by a lot of different names. No matter what you call it, this dish is so tasty. Here are a few changes and tips for success when it comes to make this casserole.

• Feel free to season the raw chicken with a little garlic powder, salt, pepper, onion powder, to add more flavor to the yummy recipe.
• Feel free to pound out your chicken to create even thickness of each piece so the chicken bakes evenly.
• Place chicken in an even layer in the casserole dish.
• For this Swiss cheese chicken make sure to spread each layer evenly over the chicken. The stuffing mix should be covered in the wet creamy sauce, to ensure it doesn’t become too dry when baked.
• Swap out the Swiss cheese and place with pepper jack cheese, or other types of cheese.
• Swap out the cream of chicken with a can of cream of mushroom soup or other types of soup.

Storing Leftovers

If you have any leftover just transfer the food from the baking dish into an airtight container. Then refrigerate for 2-3 days. Then warm the chicken and the casserole fillings in the microwave or heat it up in the oven. This is an easy recipe to reheat for a quick lunch or dinner for weeknight dinners through the week.

You can also make a freezer meal with the leftovers. Just store in the freezer container, and then thaw in the fridge overnight, or reheat from frozen. The Swiss chicken can freeze for 3 months.

This French Onion Pork Chops Recipe Is…

• 4 Ingredient Dinner
• Easy Prep
• Hands Off Cooking
• Juicy Pork Chops
• Delicious Meal – One-Pot Meal
• Crispy Onion Topping
• Budget Friendly

Ingredients Needed

Pork Chops – You are welcome to use bone-in pork chops or boneless pork chops. I used bone-in and it seems to add extra flavor.

Sour Cream – You can use full fat or light sour cream for this recipe.

French Onion Soup Mix – This dry mix is loaded with flavor. It is one of my favorite items I keep in my pantry all the time.

Crispy Fried Onions – These crispy fried onions are not meant just for green bean casserole! These are so versatile and my favorite part of this pork chop dinner.

How to Make

Full steps are in the printable recipe card below. This is a quick walk through with images on how to make French Onion pork chops.

Step One: Start by placing your pork chops in a 9×13 casserole dish. I did 4 large pork chops, but you are welcome to do as many as you want.

Step Two: In a small bowl add your sour cream and onion soup mix together. Mix until well combined.

Step Three: Pour the sour cream mixture over the top of the pork chops, and spread to make sure it covers the whole surface of the pork chops.

Step Four: Next you will top with the crispy fried onions. Just spread into an even layer. Then toss in the oven and bake as directed.

Once done, serve with your favorite side dishes and devour.

This has the great flavors of a French onion soup in this easy pork chops recipe. Give it a try and skip the old chicken recipes and try out a new easy dinner recipe. A one pan meal that is simple.

Variations and Tips to Recipe 

• Make sure the pork chops are in a single layer. Otherwise the pork will not cook up evenly and you could have some areas that overlap don’t cook all the way through.
• Add on a layer of cheese on top of the pork chops. Mozzarella cheese or provolone cheese would pair nicely with the flavors of French onion soup. The cheese melts on top of each pork chop but won’t brown up. I recommend grating fresh cheese instead of slice of cheese pre-cut, as they contain extra starches.
• The creamy gravy in the pan is delicious. Spoon onion mixture on top of the pork chops for a flavorful gravy to pair with the chops.
• I used a thicker cut pork chops. It was about 1 1/2 inch thick, but depending on thickness of the pork, the cook time will vary.
• You can grease your baking dish with cooking oil before you start if you want. It will help prevent sticking. Or even use a cast iron skillet to bake them in.
• You can use boneless chops if you want, just adjust the cook time if the chops are thinner.
• Add some sliced onions on the bottom of the pan, this will add more flavor. Use a white or yellow onion and slice thinly. The onions will break down as it bakes.

Sides To Pair With Pork Chops

Not sure what to serve as your favorite sides for this dish? I love to do a vegetable side dish. Peas is what I chose but you could do almost any side dish. Cucumber and onions, vegetable salad, roasted broccoli, the possibilities are endless.

I have even served scalloped potatoes on the side for special occasions when I am wanting to elevate the dinner. But both are a bit heavy so I only do that on special occasions. Pair with any of your easy weeknight dinner that the whole family will enjoy.

Storing Leftovers

Refrigerate any leftovers you don’t eat right away. These baked pork chops can store for 3-4 days in the fridge. Then just reheat in the microwave, or opt to cook them in the oven.

If you heat up in the oven, make sure to cover the pan with foil if you reheat in the oven. This will help prevent the pork chops from drying out.
