Fry gnocchi in butter, about 5 minutes. Remove. Brown ground beef and onion. Season. I used mustard powder, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika. Add garlic. Once browned, add can of Rotel (we use hot). Add 1 cup of of broth and the gnocchi back in and simmer until gnocchi is soft and most liquid has been absorbed. Add in 1/4 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese. Mix.

Top with 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and broil!

I like to use either tenderloins or thin chicken breasts for this. I also Brine chicken with salt and pepper and let it sit in the fridge covered for 30 min or so. This chicken gets so crispy. So good. The best hot sauce to use for this is Tabasco.

Ingredients for frying chicken::
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tbps hot sauce.
1 cup flour
1-1/2 tsp salt
Pepper

Add hot sauce to buttermilk. Add salt and pepper to flour. You can take a tablespoon or two of buttermilk mixture and add it to the flour to make some crumbles. Then dredge your chicken. Flour, then the buttermilk mix, back to flour. Fry in oil.

Sauce ingredients:
2 tsp brown sugar (don’t leave this out)
1 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup hot oil.

When you pull the chicken out of the oil, I place it on a cookie sheet and when it’s hot, baste in the sauce. For rolls we use brioche, and toast them. Bread and butter pickles. Coleslaw too!

Cook ravioli of your liking.

Melt 2 tbps of butter in skillet. Add garlic and 2-3 tbps of chopped sun dried tomatoes, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Sauté for a few minutes.
