Need a side dish you can make a couple days in advance this holiday season? We’ve got you covered with this Twice Baked Cheesy Potato Casserole. Head on over to your local @earthfare to grab all the ingredients that you love on baked taters, prep, bake (or wait to bake), and enjoy! Happy holidays, friends!
.
BLOG —> https://sliceofjess.com/twice-baked-jam-packed-cheesy-potato-casserole/
.
INGREDIENTS:
4 Russet Potatoes, scrubbed and dried (about 3 - 4 lbs)
2 tbsp. Olive Oil + Sprinkle of Salt
4 tbsp. Unsalted Butter
4 oz. Cream Cheese
1 cup Sour Cream
½ cup Heavy Cream
½ tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Seasoned Salt
8 oz. Sharp Cheddar, shredded (2 cups)
1 Small Bunch Chives, thinly sliced (about ¼ cup)
1 lb. Bacon, cooked and crumbled
Fresh Italian Parsley, for garnish
Freshly Cracked Black Pepper, optional to taste
.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 400F with the rack in the middle.
2. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, massage each with olive oil and then sprinkle each with a little salt. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the potatoes can easily be pierced with a knife.
3. Meanwhile, cook the bacon, crumble, and set aside. Also set out the butter and cream cheese to soften to room temperature while the potatoes bake.
4. Remove the potatoes from the oven and set on a cutting board. When they are cool enough to handle, cut the potatoes into 1-inch chunks, leaving the skin on. Transfer to a bowl with butter, cream cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, garlic powder, seasoned salt, 1.5 cups of cheddar, chives, and most of the bacon (saving a little to sprinkle on top). Mix everything together until well combined. If mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk or more heavy cream.
5. Transfer everything to a large baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining bacon and cheese. Bake in 400F oven, uncovered, until heated through. About 25 minutes. When you’re ready to serve, sprinkle with Italian parsley and optional black pepper.

BLOG —> https://sliceofjess.com/cheesy-beef-and-red-sauce-mexican-lasagna-recipe/
.
FOR THE MEXICAN LASAGNA:
Cooking Spray, as needed
1 lb. Ground Beef
1 oz. Taco Seasoning
1 Small Yellow Onion, diced
7oz. Can Mild Diced Green Chilies
28 oz. Red Enchilada Sauce
15 (6 inch) Corn Tortillas, cut into 4ths
8 oz. Monterey Jack Cheese, shredded
8 oz. Colby Jack Cheese, shredded
.
SUGGESTED TOPPINGS:
½ cup Diced Tomatoes
3 tbsp. Chopped Cilantro
2 Scallions, sliced
.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 350F and coat a 9x13 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Break up the ground beef in a large skillet with taco seasoning and yellow onion over medium heat. Cook until the meat is browned and onions have softened. Drain, if necessary.
3. Add the diced green chilies and continue to cook for 2 minutes to warm the chilies up.
4. Pour about a half cup of the enchilada sauce into the prepared casserole dish. Spread evenly if necessary.
5. Layer ⅓ of the cut up tortillas, overlapping slightly to cover the bottom of the casserole dish. Then layer with ½ of the ground beef, ⅓ of the shredded cheeses, and ½ of leftover enchilada sauce. Continue to layer ⅓ tortillas, the rest of the ground beef, and ⅓ shredded cheeses. The last layer will be the remaining tortillas, the rest of the enchilada sauce, then the rest of cheese on top.
6. Spray one side of the aluminum foil with cooking spray and cover the casserole dish with the sprayed-side-down. This will help the cheese not stick to the foil while baking.
7. Bake for 30 - 40 minutes, or until casserole is warmed through and the cheese has melted.
8. Uncover the foil and crank the oven to 400F. Continue to bake for 10 minutes, or until golden.
9. Allow the casserole to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with suggested toppings or others that I listed within the blog post.

INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. Ground Beef
1 Yellow Onion, thinly sliced
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
1 tsp. Smoked Paprika
½ tsp. Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp. Cumin
6 oz. Gruyère, shredded
16 oz. Bavarian Sauerkraut
2 cans Grands Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits
All Purpose Flour, as needed
.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Sauté ground beef with sliced onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne and cumin until browned and crumbly. About 10 minutes. Drain the excess fat and allow the meat to cool in the strainer for a few minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350F, shred the Gruyère and drain the sauerkraut.
2. Gently mix together the ground beef mixture, shredded cheese and sauerkraut in a large bowl.
3. Roll out each biscuit flat on a floured surface. Place 3 - 4 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each biscuit and fold up the sides like a steam bun to seal.
4. Place uncooked bierocks, seam side down, split among two parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake for 17 - 19 minutes, or until golden. Allow the bierocks to cool on a wired baking rack for 2 - 3 minutes before consuming. Enjoy!

This here is one of my go-to meals that I often make with leftover produce I have on hand. It’s super easy, super filling, and super delish. Please don’t @ me because I’ll be first to admit it’s not a traditional curry, but trust me… this is fabulous and you need to give it a try.
.
BLOG —> https://sliceofjess.com/veggie-packed-red-lentil-curry-with-chicken/
.
INGREDIENTS:
2 tbsp. Olive Oil
½ Red Onion, chopped
2 - 3 Carrots, chopped small
1 Red Bell Pepper, chopped small
1 Jalapeno, minced
4 Garlic Cloves, minced
1 tbsp. Ginger Puree
2 tbsp. Curry Powder
1 tbsp. Ajika Seasoning
2 tsp. Cumin
1 tsp. Turmeric
1 tsp. Salt
1.5 lbs. Chicken Breast, chopped into bite-size pieces
32 ounces Chicken Stock
1 cup Dried Red Lentils, rinsed
1.5 cups Frozen Spinach
1.5 cups Plain Greek Yogurt
Italian Parsley or Cilantro, for garnish
.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Warm oil in a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, red bell pepper, and jalapeño. Sauté until slightly softened, then add the garlic and continue to sauté for 1 more minute.
2. Add the ginger puree along with all the seasonings and chicken. Continue to sauté for another 5 minutes (or until chicken is mostly cooked through) and then add the chicken stock. Bring to a boil and pour in the rinsed red lentils and frozen spinach.
3. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes. The liquid should reduce by about half.
4. Remove from heat. To prevent the yogurt from curdling, add about ¾ cup of the hot curry to the yogurt in a large bowl, whisking together. This is called tempering. Once tempered, pour the yogurt mixture into the pot and stir everything together until creamy.
5. Serve immediately over rice and/or desired dipping vessels. Enjoy!

4. Simmer / low boil for 15 minutes, making sure the chicken pieces have fully cooked in the stock.
5. Pour in the heavy cream and half of the Jarlsberg. Mix together until combined and the cheese has melted.
6. If serving the entire batch, add all the lasagna noodles and mix together. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of Jarlsberg on top and recommended garnishes. If saving some soup for a later time, add individual portions of the lasagna noodles to each bowl and pour over the soup. Save remaining noodles for leftovers.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
• 14 oz. Raw Pizza Dough
• 3 tbsp. Butter
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 15 slices Salami
• 24 slices Pepperoni
• 9 Cuts Thinly Sliced Ham
• 8 oz. Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
• 1 Egg, beaten
• ½ tsp. Garlic Powder
• 2 tbsp. Parmesan Cheese
• 2 tbsp. Fresh Parsley
• ½ cup Marinara, warmed
.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Shred cheese and separate into three equal-sized portions.
3. Roll pizza dough out into a rectangle onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. In a small bowl combine 1 tablespoon melted butter and two cloves of minced garlic. Brush over the top of dough.
5. Sprinkle ⅓ cheese onto the dough, leaving a ½ inch ledge around the top and two sides. Layer with ham, ⅓ cheese, pepperoni, salami and remaining ⅓ cheese.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the three exposed edges of the dough.
Starting with the long edge that does not have the egg wash, gently roll up the dough into the shape of a log. Make sure the Stromboli has the seam-side facing down and tuck the edges under to seal.
6. Combine 2 tablespoons of melted butter along with the garlic powder and parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Brush the exterior of the Stromboli, covering all three exposed sides.
7. Using a serrated knife, make shallow diagonal cuts along the top of the Stromboli, about every 2 inches.
8. Bake for 30 minutes and allow the Stromboli to cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with warm marinara.
