Hearty Italian Beef Bowl Rsc Recipes

Steps:

• For the bowls:.
• Pre-heat your oven to 350 deg. F.
• Using a non-stick 6 compartment muffin tin, cut 6, 12" x 12" sheets of aluminum foil and fit into each of the compartments. Roll down the excess foil leaving about an inch sticking above the top of the muffin tin.
• On a floured board, take out 6 of the biscuits and roll them out until they are about 3 times their original size.
• Set each one into the compartments forming a cup.
• Mix the melted butter and garlic powder together and brush onto the surfaces of the dough.
• If you have small, oven proof bowls that are about the size of the compartments, grease the underside of the bowls and set gently into each cup. This will give you a larger cup when it's baked. If not, you'll have to open up the cups a little by hand when they are removed from the oven.
• Put the muffin tin into the oven for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. They will not be completely baked but they will be going back into the oven. Leave the oven on.
• For the filling:.
• In a heavy skillet, heat the olive over medium high heat.
• Add the onions and sauté for 2 - 3 minutes.
• Season the ground beef with a little salt and pepper and break up into the pan.
• Stir to combine the meat and onions.
• Add the red peppers, zucchini, eggplant, and corn. Season with salt and pepper to taste, combine all ingredients and lower heat to medium. Continue cooking for 4 to 5 minutes to allow the meat to start cooking through. Add the garlic, tomatoes and red pepper flakes. Combine.
• Add the wine, basil and oregano and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until everything is cooked through but not too soft. You want the veggies to still have some crunch to it. Turn off the heat and take off the stove.
• Using a slotted spoon to avoid taking up too much liquid, spoon some of the meat and veggie mixture into each of the biscuit bowls, filling them to just above the top. Heat the pasta sauce slightly. Using a regular tablespoon, spoon on 3 - 4 tablespoons of the pasta sauce and top with some of the grated cheese, leaving some for when it comes out of the oven.
• Put the muffin tin back into your 350 deg. oven and bake for another 5 - 7 minutes until the cheese is melted.
• Remove the pan from the oven. Carefully remove each bowl with the aluminum foil around it and place on serving plates, one or two per diner. Roll the foil down exposing the entire bowl. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese. The bowl can be picked up by hand or eaten with a knife and fork (Make sure you don't get any of the foil).

Steps:

• Poke holes all over the roast. Slice 4 large cloves of garlic. Stick the garlic into the holes. Liberally season the meat all over with salt and black pepper, to taste. Heat the extra-virgin olive oil, 4 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven. When the oil smokes, add the meat and brown on all sides. Remove the meat to a plate. Crush the remaining garlic and add it to the pot along with the onions, bay leaves, carrots, celery and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover the pot with a lid and sweat the vegetables for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the tomato paste and wine, and let reduce for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping up the bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in the stock-in-a-box. Return the meat to the pot and cover with a lid. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 2 1/2 hours.
• When meat is about done, bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat for the pasta.
• Remove the meat to a cutting board and cool 15 minutes. Slice the roast and arrange half of the meat on a platter.
• Cook the pasta to al dente while the meat is resting. Drain the pasta and add it to a serving bowl. Remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon and arrange them alongside the meat. Spoon a few juices over the top. Melt the butter in small pan over low heat and add the sage leaves. Add the sage butter to the bowl with the pasta and toss together. Season with salt. Ladle the remainder of the juices over the pasta. Serve the meat and veggies with pasta alongside. Cool and store the remainder of the meat in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Cut roast in half; place in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Combine the water and seasonings; pour over roast. Cover and cook on low for 10-12 hours or until meat is very tender. Discard bay leaf. Remove meat and shred with a fork. Skim fat from cooking juices; return meat to slow cooker. Serve on rolls.

Steps:

• Make the masa dough for the tamales: Beat one stick of butter with 2 tablespoons sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and beat until mixture is smooth.
• Place the corn kernels in a food processor or blender with the buttermilk and the salt and process until smooth. Add corn to the butter/egg mixture and beat until well blended.
• Stir the baking powder into the masa (harina de maiz). Add dry ingredients to the corn/butter mixture, mixing until well blended. Stir in 3/4 cups grated Monterrey Jack cheese. Set aside.
• Place the bacon in a heavy skillet and cook over medium heat until crispy. Remove from heat and set aside for another use, leaving rendered fat in the skillet.
• Cook the chopped scallions and tomatoes in the bacon fat until soft and fragrant. Add the ground beef and cook over medium heat, stirring, until browned. Add the can of black beans (with liquid) and cook, stirring, until liquid is evaporated. Remove from heat and set aside. Taste for seasoning and add more garlic salt if desired.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese with the ranch dressing.
• Fill and Wrap Tamales: Place a 7 by 12 inch rectangle of Reynolds Wrap Non-Stick foil on the counter, with the non-stick side facing up.
• Spread about 1/3 cup of the corn masa dough into a 3 x 5 inch rectangle in the center of the foil. Spread 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on top of the masa. Place 1/4 cup of the beef and bean mixture on top of the cream cheese. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon grated Monterrey Jack. Top with another 1/3 cup masa, and spread it to cover the filling.
• Fold one short end of the foil up over the filling. Fold the two long sides in over the filling. There will be one end that is still open. Lift the tamale with the open end facing upwards and twist foil to close that end.
• Make 3 more tamales in the same way.
• Place tamales in a steamer basket, and place the basket over a pot with 2 inches of simmering water. Tamales should not touch the water. Cover tightly with a lid and steam tamales for 1 hour, checking water level from time to time.
• Let tamales cool for 15-20 minutes before serving. Serve with extra cream cheese mixture on the side.
• Tamales can be made ahead and reheated in the oven or in a steamer. Unwrap tamales before reheating them in the microwave. This recipe makes 4 large tamales. You can divide the ingredients into smaller amounts to make 8-10 smaller tamales, or even 16 appetizer-size tamales.
