Looking for something that would be easy to make on a weeknight and provide some leftovers this is a good option. For my cheese adverse daughter I omitted the ricotta filling and just used sausage for a few of the rolls. Prep time – 20 minutes / Cook time – 50 minutes [...]
We used to have a favorite brew pub in the neighborhood called Breakroom. Unfortunately for them, the food was better than the beer and they closed only after a year or so. But the burgers! The burgers were some of the best we've ever had in Chicago and potentially ever. They were super thin, [...]
The name of this recipe comes from a restaurant in Alexandria Virginia where my husband and I ate pulled pork served this way. At the time, this combination of ingredients sounded pretty unusual to me. But it was delicious, and has become our favorite way of serving pulled pork. This is my attempt at [...]
I don't even remember where this recipe came from. I do remember that the original recipe called for grilling the chicken, and it made a huge mess so I took it out. Now the whole thing takes place in one pan and is a fairly quick dish on a busy weeknight. Just remember to [...]

Chopped beef and gravy has been a Pannucci family staple since I can remember. The name is a little misleading, as the "chopped beef" in this recipe is only one part of the final dish. In our house, this meal is really a combination of my "secret ingredient" mashed potatoes, the "chopped beef" and [...]
This is a great meaty weeknight pasta sauce courtesy of my great Aunt Gerri. If you use a spicy pepperoni or Italian sausage the leftovers will have a bit of kick. Prep time - 15 minutes / Cook time - 40 minutes 1 28 ounce can of pureed [...]
