I want to cook something amazing for my boyfriend but I don't know any good recipes. Suggestions?

Here's a cheeseburger casserole recipe that I created. We all love it, including our 5 year old. You might want to double it for your neighbors because their family is so large. :





1 lb. ground beef


1/4 onion, minced


1 cloves garlic, minced


14 1/2 oz. can diced tomatoes


2 cups raw macaroni, (cook according to package directions and drain)


1 can Campbells Cheddar cheese soup


salt %26amp; pepper to taste





Saute the onion and garlic in a little olive oil. Add the ground beef and brown. Add the diced tomatoes, including the liquid in the can. Simmer until the liquid is mostly reduced...5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the macaroni and Cheddar cheese soup. Heat through.I want to cook something amazing for my boyfriend but I don't know any good recipes. Suggestions?
You can do either a Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo for him or make him some steak.





For the chicken Alfredo, you'll need skinless boneless chicken breast, cook them (you can pan fry or grill) and cut into small pieces. You'll need fettuccine noodles, just boil them, then drain out the water. You can purchase Knorrs Pasta Sauces (they have Alfredo sauce) for only 99 cents, and add a packet onto the fettuccine along with like 陆 cup milk and some margarine. The packet of Alfredo sauce will give you better instructions for that. Then throw in the cut up chicken and serve with a bit of Parmesan cheese and parsley flakes over top. Serve with Texas toast garlic bread.





If you want to make a steak, season it with steak marinade and McCormick steak seasoning and then pan-fry. Serve with baked potatoes (which can be microwaved) and some steamed broccoli or canned corn.I want to cook something amazing for my boyfriend but I don't know any good recipes. Suggestions?
How about Chicken Parmesan?


Preheat oven to 350.


Take chicken breasts, trim the fat, rinse in water, pat dry. Then, flatten them out with either a meat mallet or even a pan to about 1/4 inch. You can put them in a ziplog bag to keep it in one place.


Cover the bottom of a pan with olive oil and put on medium/medium high heat.


Then set up breading station. Have a plate full of flour, a bowl of 1 beaten egg (maybe 2), then a plate with Italian style breadcrumbs mixed with parmesan cheese.


Lightly cover chicken with flour. Then dip in the egg. Then cover wtih breadcrumbs. Once you do this with all the chicken put the chicken in the pan and brown on each side. Don't let the chicken cook all the way through.


Put tomato sauce on the bottom of a casserole dish. Then put the chicken pieces. Cover with more sauce and add mozzarella cheese or any Italian cheese mixture you like (provolone, parmesan, romano, etc.). Bake until the cheese melts and the chicken should be done at that time too.


For dessert, you can cook sliced strawberries with balsamic vinegar and sugar on the stove. It's really good over vanilla ice cream.
Men love meat so I suggest making a slow cooked pot roast. You take a chuck roast, cut slices all over it and put chunks of garlic in it. Next you will want to brown the meat on both sides with some olive oil. Put the roast in a large baking pot with carrots, onions, mushrooms, potatoes, red wine and beef broth (1:1 proportion) cover and cook at 300 degrees for 2 and half to three hours (the longer you cook it the more tender the meat will be). The most important thing to remember is absolutely do not take the cover off of the pot until you are done cooking it. I have never met anyone, especially any man that does not love this recipe, I know your boyfriend will love it too!

I cooked once for mine carribean jerk chicken and the flavor blew him out of the water. I got the recipe from AllRecipes.com, but left the peanuts out and used less peanut sauce.


I'll mention because it was so funny at the time that the best he could do was a dish of macaroni and hot dogs-yech!
Try making a carbonara dish, but with a little twist, instead of adding mushrooms, add tuna instead. uhmm.. its nice if you could spice it..just a little bit atleast. gives the extra taste. and for dessert..a cheesecake would be the best :P hehe
Eggplant parmesian, some kind of chicken (teriyaki, maybe), and baby potatoes with herbs and butter or some kind of yellow rice.





Some wine, decorate (you and the table - wink wink), and you're good to go!
Prime Rib Roast. Easy, impressive, delicious. Please don't cook it more than medium, medium rare is better.





Bert
chicken parmesan.. its so easy.. make chicken cutlets.. add marinara sauce and some sliced mozzerella cheese.. put under the broiler for 5 mins.. sooo yummy

you can go to kfraft.com or kraftfoods.com (i forgot..)


or u can make a cake for .70 cents at fred meyer....
Check out this web site: www.tasteofhome.com
try allrecipes.com they have some good stuff
Get a whole trout, stuff it with tasty vegetables (whatever seems like it would be nice. I use chopped plum, spring onion, grated carrot, ginger and lime juice, but you could use anything).





Wrap the whole stuffed trout in foil and bake at the same heat you would roast a chicken at, for about forty minutes. You'll have a tasty and very spectacular dish that is also easy and very forgiving if you don't cook often. Whole trout is impressive, but stuffed baked trout is easy to get right.





I suggest something almondy for dessert, and then you can use the almonds as part of the trout stuffing, since trout and almonds is a traditional combination.
Here's a few to choose from:








(The Cola Chicken recipe is my favorite for wings %26amp; ribs!)





COLA CHICKEN


(And more variations of recipe)





4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts


1 cup catsup


1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)





Put chicken in a non-stick pan.


Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.


Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.


(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from


sticking to pan)


Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce


becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.


It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!





You can double the recipe and use more pieces of


chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot


sauce....presto ';Hot


Wings';!


I have used Ribs, just as good.





I tried this recipe with 'meatballs'....was equally


as good...served over rice.





I found another variation.....omit the catsup and add a small


jar of Salsa (any variety).





I have tried using Salsa (omitting the catsup....not).


You'd think a recipe with only '3' ingredients couldn't be


messed up....wouldn't you??


Well...while I was preparing to fix the 'Cola Chicken' recipe


using Salsa.....I was also trying to carry on a conversation with my


husband...(just proves...I can't do two things at once)....mixed


Salsa %26amp; Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out


the catsup) %26amp; Cola........still turned out really tasty (to me)...might


be a little sweeter than some of you like.





I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)


but...I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for ';HOT';) Buffalo Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).





Finally....!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken......that's good , too.





Another (bright)idea.....I thought of trying......replace the


catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce...and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp.....!


Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce......eh...wasn't all that


great...was OK...probably won't be fixing it again.





Also tried beef stew cuts......that was pretty good.....I can see


myself making this again.


Served both over rice.....think the stew cuts would have been just as


good over noodles.





How about using the little cocktail weiners/sausages?

3/4 cup chopped carrots


3/4 cups chopped celery


4 cloves garlic, smashed


3 bay leaves


1 cup distilled white vinegar


3 lemons, quartered and juiced


3/4 cup salt


2 tablespoons cayenne pepper


2 (1 1/4-pound) lobsters


8 cups mache or a chiffonade of mixed greens


Cilantro-Avocado Dressing, recipe follows


1 1/2 cups halved teardrop tomatoes


1 1/2 cups diced hearts of palm


1 1/2 cups orange segments, white pith removed


Fresh cilantro sprigs, for garnish





Set a 6-quart stockpot with 1-gallon of water over high heat and bring to a boil. Add the onions, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaves, vinegar, lemons and juice, salt and cayenne pepper. Bring the pot to a boil and allow to cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Place the lobster into the water and cook until red and cooked through, about 7 to 8 minutes. Immediately immerse in ice water to halt the cooking. Once the lobsters have cooled, remove from the water and set aside.





Use a chef's knife to crack the shell of the lobsters and remove the tail meat and claw meat. Chop the lobster into 1/2-inch pieces, and set aside. Place a sixth of the greens into each of 6 large chilled martini glasses. Drizzle a little of the dressing over the greens. Place 1/4 cup of the tomatoes in each of the glasses, as well as 1/4 cup of the hearts of palm, 1/4 cup orange segments and a sixth of the chopped lobster. Drizzle more of the dressing over the parfait and garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs. Serve immediately.

1 ripe avocado, diced


2/3 cup mayonnaise, preferably homemade


1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves, blanched and drained


1 1/2 tablespoons orange juice


1/2 lime, zested


1 to 2 limes, juiced (4 to 5 tablespoons)


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth.

Cook's Note: Any leftover avocado dressing makes a great dip for chips or veggies!
