Cranberry Apple Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes

Enjoy the warm, cozy essence of fall with these Cranberry Apple Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes—a hearty, flavorful dish that fits perfectly into any comforting meal.

Ingredients
For the Sweet Potatoes
4 medium Sweet Potatoes
Choose firm, brightly colored sweet potatoes to get the richest natural sweetness.

For the Filling
1 cup Cranberries
Feel free to swap in dried cherries or raisins if you prefer a touch more sweetness.

1 cup Apple (Diced)
Honeycrisp or Gala apples bring the best balance of flavor and texture.

2 tablespoons Butter
You can use vegan butter or even olive oil as a simple alternative.

1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
Use lightly—this spice packs a punch with just a small amount.

1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Adds a cozy warmth that blends perfectly with the sweet potatoes.

1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
Honey works great here too if you’d rather use that.

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Set the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, poke each one several times with a fork, and bake for 45–50 minutes until tender.
Allow the sweet potatoes to cool for about 10 minutes, then slice them lengthwise and scoop the insides into a bowl.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet, stir in the diced apple and cranberries, dust with nutmeg and cinnamon, and cook for 5–7 minutes.
Add 1 tablespoon maple syrup to the sautéed mixture, then combine half of that mixture with the sweet potato flesh and mash together.
Fill each potato skin with the mashed mixture and finish by adding the remaining filling on top.
Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes until everything is warmed through.

Cheesy Baked Beef Sliders

Ingredients:
For the Beef Filling:
1 lb (450g) ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Buns & Assembly:
8 slider buns or dinner rolls
8 slices mozzarella cheese (or any melting cheese of choice)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

Directions:
Prepare the Beef Filling:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7–8 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Assemble the Sliders:
Slice the slider buns in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves in a baking dish. If using, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each bottom bun. Spoon the beef mixture evenly onto each bun base.

Add the Cheese:
Place a slice of mozzarella on top of each beef mound, allowing it to slightly hang over the edges. Cover with the top halves of the buns.

Make the Garlic Butter Topping:
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and chopped parsley. Brush generously over the tops of the buns.

Bake:
Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tops are golden brown.

Serve:
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like spicy ketchup, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce. Perfect for parties or a cheesy family dinner!

Chicken with Creamy Dijon Mustard and Mushroom Sauce

Ingredients:
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine (or low-sodium chicken broth as non-alcoholic option)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard (optional, for texture)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)

Directions:
Prepare the Chicken:
Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

Sear the Chicken:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add chicken and sear for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp: 165°F/74°C). Remove and set aside.

Sauté the Mushrooms:
In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 4–5 minutes until mushrooms are browned and softened.

Add Garlic and Deglaze:
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up the browned bits. Simmer for 3–4 minutes to reduce slightly.

Make the Sauce:
Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and thyme. Let it simmer for another 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Return Chicken to Pan:
Return the cooked chicken to the pan, spoon the sauce over it, and let it simmer gently for 2–3 minutes to reheat and meld the flavors.

Serve:
Slice the chicken and serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta, generously spooning the mushroom mustard sauce on top. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Baked Ziti with Sausage
Hearty layers of ziti folded with savory sausage, creamy ricotta, and bubbling cheese for a comforting and flavorful dinner favorite.

Ingredients
Pasta & Sauces:
16 ounces ziti pasta
2 (24 ounces) jars marinara sauce
15 ounces diced tomatoes, drained
Proteins:
1 pound Italian sausage
1 pound ground beef
1 egg
Cheese:
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
15 ounces ricotta cheese
Vegetables & Seasonings:
½ yellow onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and black pepper to taste

Steps
Cook the ziti pasta according to the directions on the package. Drain well and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil and add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 2–3 minutes. Add the Italian sausage and ground beef, cooking until fully browned with no pink left. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the marinara sauce, drained diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the cooked ziti and toss until evenly coated.
In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with the egg, mixing until smooth and fully blended.
In a 9x13 casserole dish, start layering the pasta and meat sauce mixture, followed by a thin layer of the ricotta mixture. Repeat this layering two more times, finishing with a final layer of pasta.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the top. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 20–30 minutes. Remove the foil and broil on high for 2–3 minutes, just until the cheese turns golden and bubbly.
Take it out of the oven and serve warm. Enjoy!
