Pennsylvania Dutch Corn Pie

Pennsylvania Dutch Corn Pie

This corn pie is my mom's recipe. We grew up eating this and loving it in the heart of Amish country. It is a very hearty dish and easy to make. Give this one a try before you decide you won't like it. Corn takes on a whole different flavor made this way. Some people add cooked chicken to the pie as well.

Pineapple Pound Cake

Skillet Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy

Skillet Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy

These smothered pork chops with mushroom gravy are a delightful way to serve pork chops in a skillet dish your family will love! Pork chops are browned, and a pan sauce is made in the same skillet. Return the chops to the skillet for a short time as the sauce develops. We like this with mashed potatoes and a crusty bread, to catch every smidge of that tasty sauce! A green salad or vegetable rounds out the meal.

Chef John's Turkey Noodle Casserole

Chef John's Turkey Noodle Casserole

This delicious turkey noodle casserole is for leftover turkey leftovers! I don't know about you, but after a few days of eating Thanksgiving leftovers, no matter how tasty they originally were, I want something that makes me forget there's even turkey in it. Ingredients like garam masala, spicy cheese, and bell peppers work wonderfully in this casserole recipe to disguise the last of a holiday bird.

Smothered Cabbage

Smothered Cabbage

This down-home smothered cabbage dish is a family favorite. The addition of a ham hock and pork shank adds richness and a depth of flavor that can't be beat. It's perfect for a holiday side or everyday meal, and the leftovers freeze well.
