Show Us Your Life

It's show us what you are cooking right NOW at Kelly's Korner. I do not mind cooking. It's fun but when you have picky eats and food allergies thrown in it isn't all fun. Some nights I feel like a short order cook.

All 3 boys will eat sausage (like Hillshire sausage and sausage dogs) and sloppy joes. 2 like pizza and chicken nuggets. One likes jelly sandwiches and yogurt. One will eat tacos and ribs. I keep saying ONE day they will eat and dinner time will be fun. 

Michael and I eat this at least once a week. We love it!! I adapted it to what I had in my pantry and it was awesome. For the sauce I only use beef broth, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes and cornstarch. We have had it with steak, chicken and just veggies. And we have had it with white rice and noodles. It's all good!!

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and cook the steak until it starts to brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add sauce and stir in with the steak, it should start to thicken immediately. Add broccoli and cook for an additional 2 minutes until broccoli is tender and sauce is thickened.

Recipe type: Dinner

Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1 jar (16 oz) alfredo sauce
• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
• 2 cups cooked broccoli, chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheddar (or mozzaerlla) cheese
• ¼ cup shredded parmesan
• 21 jumbo pasta shells, cooked
• 1½ - 2 cups spaghetti sauce (optional, but I love the combination of alfredo with tomato sauce!)
• Salt/Pepper to season (if needed)

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, mix alfredo, chicken, broccoli, and cheeses.
3. Spoon mixture into pasta shells.
4. Grease 13 x 9 baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
5. Evenly spread spaghetti sauce on bottom of baking dish.
6. Arrange shells in baking pan.
7. Cover with foil and bake 35 minutes until heated thru.

Notes

Remember that the noodles need to be cooked prior to stuffing. I usually like cooking them 1-2 minutes under what the package says, that way they will fully cook when baking in the oven!

This recipe can easily be altered to your liking. One easy filling addition -- chopped cooked bacon!

This is my favorite chocolate chip cookies! I've switched the vanilla pudding for chocolate pudding too. YUMMY!!
