Simple breakfast for dinner beef-inspired recipes!

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) -There’s something comforting and satisfying about a hot breakfast! Not to mention, eating a protein-rich breakfast keeps you feeling full, longer, which may result in less snacking throughout the day.

Angie Horkan with Wisconsin Beef Council has the scoop on beefy recipes for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner.

Ingredients:

1 recipe Mexican-Style Beef Sausage
2 cans (7-1/2 ounces each) refrigerated buttermilk flavored biscuits
1-1/2 cups reduced-fat shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup Mexican crema or dairy sour cream

Cooking:

1. Prepare Mexican-Style Beef Sausage. Set aside.
Mexican-Style Beef Sausage: Combine 1 pound Ground Beef, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves, 1-1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 1-1/2 teaspoons chile powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add sausage mixture; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 1/2-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally.
Cook’s Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.

2. Preheat oven to 350°F.
Open biscuit cans; cut each biscuit into quarters. Place biscuits into large bowl. Add sausage mixture, cheese, onion and oil; gently toss until well combined.

3. Generously coat Bundt pan with cooking spray. Place sausage and biscuit mixture in prepared pan. Bake in 350°F oven 30 to 35 minutes until top is golden brown and biscuits are set. Remove from oven; immediately invert onto serving plate. Let rest for 10 minutes. Drizzle with crema, as desired.

Ingredients:

1 pound Ground Beef (93{d2b09b03d44633acb673e8080360919f91e60962656af8ade0305d5d8b7e4889} lean or leaner)
4 small red-skinned new potatoes (about 6 ounces), cut into 6 wedges each
1/2 cup water
1 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
1 small zucchini, cut lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
3 tablespoons shredded Italian cheese blend
1/2 cup chopped tomato

Cooking:

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Combine potatoes and water in 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 8 to 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Remove from skillet; keep warm. Pour off remaining water from skillet, if necessary.

2. Brown Ground Beef with onion in same skillet over medium heat 6 minutes, breaking beef up into 3/4-inch crumbles. Add zucchini. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until zucchini is just tender. Pour off drippings. Return potatoes to skillet. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; mix thoroughly.
Cook’s Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Ground Beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160ºF. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground Beef doneness.

3. Whisk eggs, basil and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in large bowl. Pour evenly over beef mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake in 350°F oven about 18 to 20 minutes or until eggs are set.

4. Sprinkle frittata with tomato. Cut into 4 to 6 wedges.

A Dozen Delicious Chicken Cutlet Dinner Recipes

Chicken cutlets may just be chicken breasts thinly cut for quick cooking, but they’re also the secret to a speedy chicken dinner on a weeknight. Often fried until golden brown and crispy, cutlets can be used in so many more ways. They’re great wrapped in prosciutto or bacon, which adds fat and flavor to the lean cut. They’re also tasty simmered in a cream sauce, or topped with a zesty salsa. If you can’t find cutlets in the meat section of your grocery store, you can slice and pound out boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead. Scroll down for a dozen ideas on how to put this tender cut to use.

Sun-dried tomatoes cooked in the chicken drippings form the flavorful base of the beautiful orange-hued sauce in this chicken cutlet dish.

Sure, everything’s better with bacon, but have you tried adding prosciutto? The aged and dry-cured pork product adds deep savory flavor to lean meats like chicken.

Microwaveable long-grain white rice makes these hearty bowls a breeze to pull together on a weeknight.

Serve these cutlets over rice with a veggie side, or on a bun as a chicken Parmesan sandwich with marinara.

A tangy purple cabbage coleslaw helps cut through the richness of these crispy fried chicken cutlets.

You could likely broil anything under slabs of fresh mozzarella and it would taste great, but chicken cutlets fried to golden perfection are the perfect match for all that cheesy-goodness.

The creamy mushroom sauce for this chicken recipe uses dry white wine for flavor. Pro tip: Choose a wine you’d actually drink, as you’ll have some leftover to enjoy with your meal.

Lemon juice, capers, and butter make a super silky and tangy sauce for these pan-fried chicken cutlets. Have plenty of crusty bread or pasta ready to soak up every last bit of the sauce.

*Photographer: Jennifer Causey Food Stylist: Rishon Hanners Prop Stylist: Christina Daley*

Here’s our answer to chicken marsala, with Fontina and Parmesan for added flavor and a nice cheese pull when you cut into the cutlet.

The added sweetness of ripe plums and brown sugar in the salsa beautifully balances out the char on these grilled chicken cutlets.

Pecans are a Southern staple, so it’s only natural to use them as a crunchy coating for a fun twist on breaded chicken cutlets.

Breaded cutlets help make this hearty salad a dinner-worthy dish. And the honey-mustard vinaigrette will have you gladly eating your veggies.

This recipe finder will give you dinner ideas using what’s in your fridge

We’ve all been there. It’s 6:30, you’ve just gotten home from work, and you stand in front of an open refrigerator, clueless and frustrated. You have no idea what to do with the random ingredients staring back at you. You’ve been using that beautiful brain all day long and now you have to put on an apron and come up with dinner ideas for you and your family? No thanks.

If you’ve ever found yourself in this situation, there’s now a site for that very problem. It’s called Gumb o, and it’s a total game-changer. Gumbo takes what you already have in your fridge, and generates tons of recipes using exactly those ingredients. No need for a last-minute trip to the grocery store.

man looking in fridge — Maskot/Getty Images

Let’s say you open your fridge and see, for example, raw chicken breast, oranges, soy sauce, honey, and green onions. Simply open the Gumbo app and select those items. With one click, dozens of recipes will pop up that feature those ingredients – Healthy Orange Chicken, Zesty Instant Pot Chicken Breasts, Whole Lemon and Honey Chicken Skewers — to name just a few.

No matter how random your assortment of refrigerator finds, Gumbo has a recipe for you. It also can offer recipes that only require one or two additional (yet common) ingredients. Let’s say you don’t include salt in your search. Chances are, you probably have salt at home. So, if there are recipes that call for everything you selected plus salt, Gumbo will offer that up as an option.

In addition to taking the burden of recipe creation off your plate, Gumbo will also save you money by keeping your food waste in check. A 2020 study from the American Journal of Agricultural Economics found that the average household in the United States wastes 31.9{d2b09b03d44633acb673e8080360919f91e60962656af8ade0305d5d8b7e4889} of its food, or about $1,866 annually. That’s an absolutely shocking statistic. But by knowing exactly what to do with the seemingly useless items in our fridge, Gumbo can greatly help cut back on such an enormously wasteful problem.

News of the new app has been spreading over Reddit like wildfire, and people are ecstatic, exclaiming, “Ok this is amazing! I have DREAMT of a site like this and am excited to give it a go! Here’s to (hopefully) less food waste!” and “This is freaking amazing! Thank you!!!”

Users of Reddit, we couldn’t agree more.

5-Ingredient Meals, From Dinner To Dessert, For The Whole Family

I find it very refreshing to know that every family trying to figure out dinner struggles. From meal planning to prepping to grocery shopping, it’s all kind of chaotic, and I find that the simpler, the better. (Especially if you have picky kids anyway.) Sticking to five-ingredient meals, from desserts to breakfast to dinner, means you can give yourself an easier grocery shopping list and less time stressing at 5 p.m. Five ingredients sounds so specific that it almost feels impossible to do, but there are a surprising amount of five-ingredient meals and recipes to try for the entire family.

And trust me, as a mom of three, I’ve struggled a lot with figuring out budget-friendly recipes. I get real tired real quick of casseroles featuring rice and canned soups, and can only have so many of those types of dinners before I’m ready to pull out a cookbook with extensive recipes that require a $100 grocery trip. But this list of five-ingredient meals is a good mixture of super easy kid-friendly recipes like pizza chicken casserole, but also has some fun favorites sprinkled in, like pumpkin cinnamon rolls and coconut curry.

So whether you need something for lunch, a quick dinner before soccer practice, or want to make a sweet treat that doesn’t require half the pantry, this list of five-ingredient meals is for you.

1 Coconut Curry

This coconut curry featured on Yummly is, of course, only five ingredients, but it’s also incredibly filling thanks to the chickpeas and broccoli. This is an easy one to double up for leftovers or lunches if you want, and it’s super quick to pull together.

2 Teriyaki Chicken

This teriyaki chicken recipe featured on Yummly could not possibly be any easier. All you need are some pantry staples like soy sauce, brown sugar, garic, and ginger to make this flavorful sauce over chicken breasts. Throw a bag of frozen veggies in the microwave to steam and add some rice, and you’ve got a gourmet meal ready to go in no time.

3 Pizza Chicken Casserole

I mean, casseroles are usually pretty flavorful and full of cheese, but this pizza chicken casserole featured on Yummly is like the ultimate comfort food. Tons of mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, and marinara sauce over chicken with garlic make for an epic dinner.

4 Instant Pot Carnitas

I love the idea of making these five-ingredient Instant Pot carnitas for a week of lunches, but they’re obviously great for any time of the day. Using oranges and limes, this recipe is super budget-friendly and doesn’t skip out on any flavor.

5 Italian Sausage & Kale Baked Ziti

OK, to be fair, a lot of five-ingredient meals are going to require pasta so that they are nice and filling, but this baked ziti recipe from Gimme Some Oven is especially good. With italian sausage and kale (and of course, lots of cheese), this five-ingredient recipe kind of breaks the mold and packs a lot of flavor.

6 Pizza Poppers

Another pizza recipe, but these five-ingredient supreme pizza poppers featured on Yummly are literally so easy to put together, it’s hard to believe they’re also delicious. Rolling out crescent roll dough and adding in the toppings is really all you need to do — and you can feel free to customize them. But a note: on their own, these are really best as an appetizer or heavy snack, so maybe put together a salad or some veggies on the side to go with them.

7 Chicken Soup

Who doesn’t love a great chicken soup recipe? This one from Yummly is full of protein thanks to the chicken breast and great northern beans, and you can really jazz it up with some toppings you already have in your fridge like avocado or sour cream.

8 Rolo Cookies

If you love an uncomplicated dessert, these five-ingredient Rolo cookies from Yummly are too perfect. Using a boxed cake mix and a couple of other pantry staples (plus Rolos), you and your family can make some delicious, easy cookies for a family movie night or just a sweet treat.

9 Chicken Parmesan Lasagna

OK, remember what I said about pasta? Here’s another five-ingredient pasta recipe that goes above and beyond noodles and sauce. The five-ingredient chicken parmesan lasagna from Yummly can be made on the stove or in your slow cooker, so it even has the added benefit of being done at 5 p.m. thanks to just a little bit of work on your part in the morning.

10 Baked Tortellini Casserole

Yes, we’re still sharing pasta recipes, but stick with me. This five-ingredient baked tortellini casserole from Yummly is so good. Using both spaghetti sauce and alfredo sauce, it’s hard to believe such a decadent dish is only five ingredients. Add in some sausage links and tortellini (and cheese, always) and this is a super filling meal everyone will love.

11 Crispy Potsticker Brie Bites

I love the idea of these five-ingredient crispy potsticker brie bites from Cooking for Keeps for a heavy snack or a light dinner. They’re also super festive and look great for a holiday party, but delicious bites of brie are always in season, so feel free to make whenever.

12 Airfryer Zucchini Fries

Another heavy snack idea (or a great dinner side) is this recipe for airfryer zucchini fries from A Pretty Life in the Suburbs. Zucchini are usually pretty cheap for produce, so it’s nice to think of this easy five-ingredient meal as an appetizer or for kids who love a crunch, but need some extra veggies.

13 No-Bake Peanut Butter Oat Squares

These no-bake peanut butter oat squares from Cookies and Cups are so easy and also so delicious and filling. Even better: they only have three ingredients. With peanut butter and oatmeal, these actually feel like a fairly good-for-you treat, and the honey is a great way to add some sweetness without going overboard.

14 Banana Pancakes

Who doesn’t love pancakes? These banana pancakes from Cookie and Kate are easy, budget-friendly, and help you combat food waste by using super ripe bananas that might’ve been ignored by the family the rest of the week.

15 Chicken Guacamole Taquitos

Give me all the taquitos. If you’re having a relaxing family movie night or planning for a party, these chicken guacamole taquitos from Gimme Some Oven are a great five-ingredient meal to pull together. You can even freeze these and save them for future lunches or dinners.

16 Lemon Chicken With Asparagus

Talk about a one-pan meal, this lemon chicken with asparagus from Pinch of Yum is so flavorful and easy. Add some mashed potatoes on the side if you want, but I think this is a filling enough meal all on its own.

17 Skillet Gnocchi

OK, OK, let’s do another pasta dish! But this five-ingredient skillet gnocchi from Two Peas and Their Pod is so lovely. Fair warning: there’s no meat in this one, but it’s still a great weeknight meal that you could pair with some chicken or sausage if you wanted.

18 Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut butter is definitely a theme in easy, cheap desserts, and these peanut butter cookies from Cookie Named Desire prove that. There are only three ingredients, and the recipe makes the chewiest, most delicious treats.

19 Sheet Pan Sausage & Potatoes

Sheet pan meals had a huge moment a few years ago and I think it’s time to bring them back, especially when the sheet pan only has five ingredients. This sheet pan sausage and potatoes recipe from Averie Cooks is a great one to customize — make it spicy, add extra garlic, whatever you want — and can reheat beautifully for lunch the next day.

20 Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

Making a fancy breakfast, especially on the weekends, can take a lot of time and money and ingredients, but not this one. These five-ingredient pumpkin cinnamon rolls from The Comfort of Cooking are so easy and will fill your entire house with the best smells.

21 Potato & Corn Chowder

I love a hearty soup! This five-ingredient potato and corn chowder from The Modern Proper is so good and is full of so much stuff, honestly. Five ingredients is only five ingredients, but the way each of these ingredients works with the other makes for a super hearty and filling recipe.

22 Chili Cheese Dip

Whether you want a heavy appetizer or just a yummy side (maybe to go with those taquitos), try this chili cheese dip from Willow Bird Baking. Added bonus: it really only requires two ingredients.

These five-ingredient meals are perfect if you’re looking for some budget-friendly recipes or if you just want to make meal time a little bit easier for you and your family.
