I subscribed to Taste of Home last year. I probably won't renew it, though, because I find that it doesn't have a lot of recipes that appeal to me. Most are simple, which is good, but I find them to be just OK most of the time. Nothing spectacular. If I want a recipe, I can Google it for free.
So, here's the finished dish. It's just ground beef, Montreal steak seasoning, water, beef bouillon granules, frozen tortellini, and Italian cheese blend. I made it exactly as instructed and didn't substitute any ingredients.
It was quick and easy. I figured it might be lacking, since it doesn't have a sauce; I was right. It wasn't terrible by any means, just kind of boring and I missed having some sort of sauce. I thinking you could probably add more water and beef bouillon and then just thicken it a bit.
Obviously, this dish isn't really meant for a gastric bypass post-op. I made it for Bob, but I tried some of it. Just some of the beef and cheese, and a couple tortellini.
I probably wouldn't make this again, unless I can figure out a way to make a bit of a sauce.
I'd add in some passata. :) just to give it some tomato-ey goodness. If not that, some light cooking cream. I have some now that keeps in the cupboard until I want to use it. I might give this a try, actually. :)
ReplyDeleteHmm, light cream sounds like it might work. I'll have to try that if I ever make this again. But I think a can of tomatoes might work better for me.
DeleteIt needs mushrooms :-) And maybe a marsala sauce?
