🍤🥗Recipes Below🍕🧅

Prices based on my local Walmart in Northern Kentucky.

I pick these meals based around the seasonings I already have at home. Salt/Pepper/Garlic etc. And additional items at home such as milk, eggs, butter.

Baked Porkchops- Season porkchops with salt, pepper, garlic & onion powder (this is customizable to your preference) coat porkchops in coating mixture, bake on 425 for 20 minutes in a foil lined pan. I serve porkchops with with salad & macaroni and cheese.

Garlic Parmesan Pasta- Boil & drain pasta. Mix in 1/2 cup sour cream, shredded chicken, 6 oz of garlic Parmesan wing sauce, & 4 oz of shredded Italian cheese. If mixture is now creamy enough I mix in a little bit of milk until I get the consistency I want. You can also mix in a little more of the wing sauce. I mix all of this together over low heat so the cheese gets melty. At this point you can mix in any seasoning you prefer. The sauce is a little on the salty side so definitely taste it before you add more salt. I like to add pepper & onion seasoning. Once I’ve reached the creaminess of the pasta that I am satisfied with I turn the heat off and spread the remaining shredded cheese over the top and let melt with the lid on the pot for 5 minutes.

Seafood Pasta- Boil & Drain pasta. In a separate pan cook your seasoned shrimp until pink, 4-5 minutes for small shrimp. While shrimp is cooking chop imitation crab & add to the skillet. Once shrimp is cooked and crab is heated through add in Alfredo sauce on medium to low until sauce is heated. Taste & season as needed. Add cooked pasta & cheese. Place lid on pot until cheese is melted.

BBQ Chicken Pizza- Preheat over to 350 degrees. While oven is heating assemble pizza. Layer bbq sauce, shredded cheese, thawed chicken & onion. Bake until crust is crispy, cheese is melted and chicken is warmed through (the chicken pictured is fully cooked just needs to be heated) bake about 20-25 minutes depending on the pizza of your flat bread & how your oven cooks.
