Your favorite recipe or meal for dinner?

TinyArtist

I'm always trying to cook different foods or meals for dinner but running out of ideas. Right now my favorite is simple sautéed garlic shrimp, baked potatoes and corn on the cob and rolls. No recipe really needed, just sautee shrimp in garlic and pepper a few minutes.

Tell me what your favorite family meal is,  bonus points for a recipe or link to recipe! Who knows, I may just test it out.

I have this recipe, it's in spanish but google translate should get the job done. Here in Argentina, there's a famous chef called Betular. He shared this recipe on Masterchef argentina and I was quick enough to copy the recipe for a chocolate peanut butter tart. I swear it's a fan favourite!

"Ingredientes:
Para la masa:
1 taza y 1/4 de harina 0000
3 cucharadas de azúcar impalpable
1/3 taza de manteca
Una pizca de sal
3 cucharadas de café frío
cacao (seis cucharadas)
Relleno:
300 g de caramelos de dulce de leche
100 ml de crema de leche
Mantequilla de maní
ganache:
150 g de chocolate
150 ml de crema de leche
Preparación
        Mezclar en un bowl la harina, el cacao y el azúcar tamizados junto con la sal. Agregar la manteca y el café de a poco, mezclando la mezcla hasta tenerla con una consistencia suave y lisa. Es arenosa, casi polvorosa al principio hasta que se integra, seguir amasando. Poner papel manteca en la base de un molde y enmantecar y enharinar el borde. Forrar la base con el truco ese y con tiras el borde. Asegurarse que el borde y la base están unidos. Cocinar hasta secarlo.
        Una vez cocido y frío, empastar el fondo con crema de maní. Dejarlo en la heladera y empezar a preparar el caramelo. Simplemente derretir los caramelos con la leche fría y mezclar hasta uniforme (es riquísimo!). vertir dentro del molde con el maní, y llevar a la heladera nuevamente mientras se prepara la ganache. Cortar el chocolate en pedazos pequeños, y con crema muy caliente, vertir eso dentro del bowl con chocolate. No tocar hasta que esté frío. Resistirse o arriesgarse a arruinar la ganache. Mezclar hasta uniforme y vertir dentro del molde frío. Dejar en el freezer para un enfriamiento más rápido. Desmoldar una vez frío y sin resistencia. Servir.

If you have a pressure cooker or instapot cook them first in beef broth about 45 minutes. Remove and drain, put meat in cake pan, smother in bbq sauce, bake about 30 minutes. I do this all the time, they are awesome. I do prefer pork ribs to beef.

I absolutely LOVE this salad.. i do it a bit differently, i followed one comment.. that said to heat the oil and pour on the other ingredients (minus vinegar).. mix with the carrots and then vinegar last..  my husband hates it though lol.

Definitely try the pressure cooker! I use it for roasts, ribs, venison etc. Makes it so tender as opposed to slow roasting all day.

I love roast beef dinner with mashed potatoes and buttered corn. Having a small side of cottage cheese is also a must for me with roast beef.
