California Skillet Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Heat oil in large skillet and brown the meat and onion. Drain fat. Add all remaining ingredients, except cheese.
• 2. Cover and simmer 20-30 minutes, or until macaroni is tender. Uncover, and sprinkle with cheese. Cover and cook until the cheese melts.

Steps:

• Heat a large cast-iron skillet or high-sided saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl the pan to coat evenly. Add the sausage slices in a single layer and cook until browned on the first side, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the second side, about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage slices to a bowl and set aside.
• Add the onion, a splash of water and large pinch salt to the pan and cook over medium-high heat, using a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is lightly browned in spots and starting to get tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the cabbage, crushed red pepper and another pinch salt and cook until cabbage is crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the pan seems dry at any point, stir in another splash of water.
• Add the garlic and cider vinegar and cook until the vinegar is mostly evaporated, about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the butter until melted, then return the sausage to the pan along with the apple and cook until the apple slices are just tender, 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Sprinkle with the scallion and serve immediately with hot sauce alongside.

Steps:

• In 10-inch skillet, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain.
• Stir in milk, hot water, and uncooked pasta and sauce mix (from Hamburger Helper box). Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Arrange tomato slices on top; sprinkle with croutons. Place 5 of the cheese halves around edge of skillet; place remaining cheese halves in center. Cover and cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand covered 5 minutes (cheese will continue to melt and sauce will thicken as it stands).

Steps:

• Brown beef with onion in skillet and drain off fat. Stir in water, rice, bouillon, and mustard. Bring to boil.
• Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 25 min or till water is absorbed, about 25 min.
• Stir in green pepper and tomato. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and remove from heat. Let stand 2 or 3 minutes till cheese melts.
