Easy to prepare and delicious when served with sour cream or a homemade chipotle dipping sauce, air fryer cabbage fritters are a hit.

  2. two cups raw cabbage, finely shredded
  3. one egg
  4. One tablespoon of sour cream, plus additional to serve

Directions:

  1. Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Take off the cabbage’s upper leaves.
  3. Shred the cabbage finely. For simple chopping and shredding of cabbage and carrots, I use a Braun food processor.

  • You can season with anything you like.
  • If preferred, add a few fresh herbs. I especially enjoy using finely sliced green onion and fresh dill.

GROUND BEEF CASSEROLE

GROUND BEEF CASSEROLE

This ground beef casserole is so simple and healthful that I prepare it whenever I’m not sure what to serve for dinner. It is low in calories, low in carbs, and ketogenic if that’s a problem for you. Most importantly, it tastes great!

I keep vacuum-packed ground beef in the refrigerator at all times. It’s really quite practical. I use it to make a lot of delicious ground beef recipes, like meat pie, Korean ground beef, and kale casserole.

How is casserole made with ground beef made?

How simple is this dish with ground beef? Ground beef is rapidly browned with a few spices, cream cheese and shredded cheddar are added, and the mixture is baked until the cheese melts.

This recipe tastes great with onion powder, and it’s much faster to avoid dealing with slicing onions, so I purposefully left it without any chopped onions.

Ingredients:

  • Pan spray with olive oil
  • Two pounds of extra-lean (93% lean) ground beef
  • A tsp fine sea salt and a ¼ tsp black pepper
  • two tsp powdered garlic
  • One tsp powdered onion
  • One-fourth tea
  • spoon of cayenne
  • Cubed 4 ounces of reduced fat cream cheese,
  • divided 2 tablespoons of minced parsley as garnish,
  • and 1 cup of shredded cheddar

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Set oven temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish very lightly with olive oil and place it aside.
  • A big nonstick skillet should be heated over medium-high heat. Apply a little layer of olive oil on it.
  • To the skillet, add the ground meat. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking up the meat into small pieces, or until it is no longer raw. If desired, remove the steak from the skillet (I personally don’t bother with this step).
  • Turn down the heat to medium. Season the beef with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne. Gently stir in the cream cheese and stir until it melts completely.
  • After turning off the heat, stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese with the meat mixture.
  • Pour the mixture into the 2-quart casserole dish that has been ready. Top with the remaining half cup of cheddar cheese.
  • For about ten minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bake the ground beef casserole. Add parsley as a garnish and serve.
  • Enjoy!

PISTACHIO PINEAPPLE CAKE

PISTACHIO PINEAPPLE CAKE

I simply adore simple dessert recipes that begin with cake mixes. Making this pistachio cake is so easy that nobody would ever suspect that it begins with a package of instant pudding and a cake mix.

Ingredients for Pistachio and Pineapple Cake:

  1. One package (15.25 ounces) Mixture of yellow cake
  2. One box, weighing 3.4 ounces Pistachio pudding mix in a flash
  3. half a cup of vegetable or canola oil

  8. Half a cup of heavy cream
  9. One box, weighing 3.4 ounces Pistachio pudding mix in a flash
  10. Eight ounces Thawed Cool Whip
  11. Pistachios, chopped (optional) as a topping

  • Mix the cake mix, instant pudding mix, canola oil, eggs, and crushed pineapple (with juice) in a large mixing basin or the bowl of a stand mixer. Using a handheld mixer, mix on medium-high speed for approximately two minutes, or until thoroughly mixed.
  • Evenly distribute the batter after pouring it into the baking dish that has been ready.
  • A toothpick put into the center of the cake should come out clean after 35 to 40 minutes of baking.
  • On a cooling rack, let the cake cool fully.
  • Hold off on frosting the cake with pistachios until it has cooled fully. Combine the heavy cream and half-and-half milk in a mixing dish. Whisk in the until thoroughly blended, about one to two minutes, using the instant pistachio pudding mix. Give it five-minute rest to thicken.
  • Add the thawed Cool Whip and stir until thoroughly combined. Use the pistachio pudding icing to cover the cake. Before serving, place cover or piece of tin foil over the pan and refrigerate for four to six hours or overnight.
  • NoteRefrigerating the cake before serving is not necessary, although it is advised for optimal flavor and texture.
  • For an even more pleasant treat, the icing gets thicker and the cake absorbs all the flavorful goodness!

New York Cheesecake

New York Cheesecake

The greatest cheesecake is this traditional New York cheesecake. It is really simple to create, and unlike most cheesecake recipes, it doesn’t require a water bath. It is dense, rich, and creamy. It really is among the greatest cheesecakes I’ve ever had! This is how you get perfection.

INGREDIENTS

Crust

  1. One and a half cups (150g) of finely ground vanilla wafer crumbs, digestive biscuits, or graham cracker crumbs (pulse in a food processor).
  2. Two teaspoons of sugar, granulated
  3. Four and a half tablespoons (65g) of melted unsalted butter

Stuffing

  1. Four cups (900g) of room-temperature full-fat cream cheese
  2. Scoop and ⅛ cup (225g) powdered sugar
  3. two tsp cornstarch
  4. Four sizable eggs and one yolk, room temperature
  5. ½ cup, or 120 milliliters thick cream
  6. A teaspoon and a half of pure vanilla extract
  7. grated zest from one lemon one small spoon

Guidelines

Cook the crust.

  • Heat the oven to 350°F, or 180°C. Grease the 9-inch springform pan from bottom to side.
  • Crumbs, 2T sugar, and melted butter should all be combined and moistened in a medium-sized basin. Evenly press mixture into bottom of prepared pan to create crumb layer. Roast for 8 to 9 minutes, or until well-browned. Let cool fully on a wire cooling rack. Meanwhile, get the filling ready.

Cheesecake Filling

  • Raise the oven’s setting to 425°F/220°C.
  • Beat the cream cheese on medium-low speed for one to two minutes, or until it is smooth and lump-free, using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a handheld mixer. Beat in sugar until well combined. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Stir in cornstarch until well combined. When the eggs are added, beat them in completely. Beat in the cream, vanilla essence, and zest from the lemon until smooth and well mixed. Evenly distribute batter over chilled crust after pouring
  • After 10 minutes of baking, reduce the oven temperature to 225°F/110°C and bake the cake for an additional 60 minutes, or until the sides are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Some people have commented that this was not a long enough baking time. This is something I’ve baked a lot, and it works. You can add an extra 10 to 20 minutes to baking times if you’re not sure if your oven is correct or if you generally bake for longer than what recipes ask for (but try not to open the oven door too frequently). It’s okay if your cheesecake doesn’t get golden brown around the edges; simply follow the directions 🙂. After turning off the oven, partially or fully open the door to let cool air in, and let the cake for sixty minutes in the oven. This will keep the cake from cracking and keep its creamy texture. Once the cake has cooled to room temperature, move it to a wire rack. Place plastic wrap over the cake and place it in the fridge for a minimum of 12 hours or overnight.
  • Refrigerated cheesecake can last for up to five days.
