What's for Dinner #112 - the "Pre-Holiday Crazies" Edition - November 2024

Those look near perfect!
I also love this dish made with Slices of Pork Loin. I think it is called Guo Bao Rou ( 锅包肉 ).
Amazing what happend to the Dish as it migrated South and then to the West :upside_down_face:

It’s not soupy because once potatoes are added it will cook down to a sauce, but I wanted to go to bed, so I stopped and will finish today.

Comfort food: qeema shepherds pie with the last of a really good batch of qeema with FM baby kale I made and froze in September, topped with leftover sour cream mashed potatoes spiked with turmeric and paprika. Could only eat a few bites, the rest will be lunch tomorrow. Huge G&T.

I’m going to try this soon.

Might steam instead of bake, so the texture is tamale-like rather than cornbread-like.

They are very sweet about it.

The younger one reserved the “leftover” mac & cheese even before he started eating :rofl:.

And I’m guessing the older one will be excited to take the frozen stuff back to college, because this was the one item he actually asked for in his care package that I couldn’t mail.

I used grits, mixing the grits with light cream, broth and shredded taco cheese blend, and a little baking powder (maybe 1/2 tsp) , so it was like porridge. Spread that over the chicken/salsa/tomato/cumin/broth mixture. Spread more cheese on top. Baked at 300 for about half an hour then 350 for maybe 20 minutes until browned and 165⁰F plus throughout. The texture was more tamale or soft polenta/soft grits, which we prefer, rather than cornbread-like.
