Thanksgiving side dish: How to make a Pineapple Casserole
can i give u a recipe you should try or do u not take suggestions
@respectedray Please share recipe down here in the comments. Others might want to try it as well. I would try a recipe as long as most of the ingredients are more natural.
@@LivingOurDreamHomestead-ns2he you need garlic, salt, pepper, onions, cumin, potatos, ground beef, and finally el pato tomato sauce if you dont like spicy really any tomato sauce will work Cook the ground beef over medium heat while breaking up the meat drain grease and return to heat. The beef doesn’t need to be cooked completely through at this point Add in diced onion and potatoes. Continue to cook over medium heat until onion are softened. Add garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds. Next, pour in tomato sauce and if u dont use el pato add beef broth if you are using elpato just add water. Add in seasonings: salt, pepper, cumin Bring to a simmer, cover and let cook for 10 minutes. remove the lid, stir, and continue cooking with the lid off for an additional 10 minutes or until potatoes are softened and most of the liquid is gone but keep some liquid hopefully this makes sense
@@respectedray Sounds good
Your recipe sounds great Karen! I like your healthy ingredients, and that you suggest freezing extra portions.
@loriglass3672 Thank you, I just got this soup out of the freezer the other day for my husband. I have thawed in the frigerator the night before serving. Also, I have just taken out the freezer and thawed it in a bowl, then heated up in the microwave. Makes my life easier when I don't want to cook a big meal.
Back during the last shortage, those Vital Farms eggs were $9 at Target and the only thing left on the shelf. Horrifying.
⭐⭐⭐
Coffee prices are out of control. When kroger has it on the digital....i try to buy it up. And eggs....ugh!! I used to love going to the grocery and browsing....now its just shocking...lol. I still like looking for sales though.
this looks so good
It's actually look delicious
Ummmmmm that’s looks nasty 🤢 I’m sorry my mom always told me to be honest
Ignore him
U can keep ur opinion for urself and if that looks so disgusting let’s see u make it
I'm sorry it doesn't look good to you; then don't try to make it. Hope you will find something on TH-cam that you want to try and make.
I've never made a real cheesecake...but i sure do love it
@colleenhurley9195 These recipes I shared of cheesecakes are pretty easy. Hope they inspire you to try to make your own. They are definitely better from scratch without those unnecessary artificial ingredients.
I love fudge...looks so good.
Thanks, yes fudge is hard to resist.
Looks delicious 😋
Thank you
A friend of mine said she uses SOS pads for food residue that gets cooked on her glass top stove. I tried it, and it works and didn't scratch my stove.
Thanks. I'll take your recommendations
Your welcome
Underrated video! This deserve sm more attention, appreciate all the effort you put in your video
@@SethuSenthil Thank you
@@LivingOurDreamHomestead-ns2he maybe try exporting ur video in a higher resolution like 720p or 1080p , might boost the algorithm
@SethuSenthil I will try to look into this. I currently use 1280x720, 29.97fps. I shoot all my videos on my cell phone. And upload to my computer. I'm not that tech savy. But I'm learning allot. Thank you for the suggestion.
I need to say a big thank you. I did this as a no bake, made with a packet of plain gelatin dissolved and boiled first in a bit of water. Then I omitted the egg. My family loves no bake anyway, but your proportions and spices were PERFECT. Thank you for the quality recipe, and have a MERRY Christmas and Happy Holiday! <3
@RM-gp4ur Your welcome. I'm glad you liked the recipe. Hope you have a Merry Christmas too.
I love aldi's cheese....such of a great selection❤ great haul karen. I'm in shock everytime i go to the store...i always figure my amoun at 1/2 what im actually spending....UGH!!
@@colleenhurley9195 Thank you
Why didn't you start with the ingredients??
@kimsmith4759 TH-cam shorts can be of any part of your video. I chose not to show all the ingredients, so you would want to check out my video of the peanut butter fudge.
❤Hi Karen!! Nice hauls!! ❤⭐🎄❤⭐🎄❤😘
@@carolinepeeters8520 Thank you
This looks so good…and easy to prepare. This would be great if you were having people over for breakfast…so it could be prepared earlier. Great video! Enjoy your weekend…Janel in NJ
@sldjme Thank you. I hope you have a great weekend, too. I have been making this Breakfast casserole for 34 years. It definitely is a good dish. My family loves it.
Thank you - what a timely recipe! Do you think this would be solid enough to cut without a crust? I generally don't use crusts and do low carb more easily this way. It looks scrumptious, BTW!
@RM-gp4ur Your welcome. My cheesecake was not solid like most of them. I do think it would hold up better with a crust. You can try and see if it works.
@@LivingOurDreamHomestead-ns2he This is extremely helpful - thank you! I will add some gelatin powder and likely it will be perfect for my use. Blessings to you and your family this Christmas and Hanukkah season! <3
@@RM-gp4ur Blessings to your family as well.
add some potaoes.
Looks great! Love the way you explain everything in detail 😊
@@ag-dr1df Thank you
I love pumpkin butter better than apple butter. I can eat eat straight out of the jar. It's great on pancakes, biscuits, even toast!! Sometimes you can even use it as an ice cream topping.
This is one of my favorite dishes. I've never seen all of the drained pineapple juice used that way. We usually use six tbsp of the reserved liquid. We have cut back the sugar as well to maybe a quarter cup. I have seen people use a cup of sugar. We use one can of tidbits & one can crushed pineapple in the natural juices, no sugar added. We do not find it necessity to grease the baking dish. I will have to try the crackers you use.
Amazing content! The visuals and explanation are so clear and engaging. Keep up the great work!
@@Funnyworld2023-Lk Thank you
@@LivingOurDreamHomestead-ns2he welcome
Thank you, Karen!! This season’s treat is thanks to you🥰
Your Welcome
I bought 5 bags of the potatoes...at that price❤❤ I gave 2 bags to our neighbors who are struggling. I bought sweet potatoes at kroger...and im going to go back today and get more...I love them cut up and roasted. Great hauls. Have a great weekend.
Thank you, Hope you have a nice weekend too. You were very kind to help others out. One of the reasons I started this channel as I love to share my cooking and give away my treats to others. I feel as if I'm helping brighten their day.
Thank you for sharing your family's soup recipe with us! I need soup inspiration right now with the coming weather change and all the colds going around. haha! Blessings on you and your household. :D
@@RM-gp4ur Your welcome
Nice hauls Karen!! Have a great week!!🤩🌟
@carolinepeeters8520 Thank you, I hope you have a great week, too.
That looks delicious! Something different that would be a wonderful side dish! Thank you!🎉

Wow, such high-quality content! Informative, engaging, and presented so well-truly impressive.
@Funnyworld2023-Lk Thank You
This video is absolutely amazing! It delivers value and keeps me hooked till the end. Great work!.
@@Funnyworld2023-Lk Thank you
Husband sounded depressed 😔
@E.T.K.00 He is fine. Just tired.
What's the point in this, did you want it to be a recipe? Cos if so it's rubbish.
@spaceoil2 video in beginning did blur as I saw it after I loaded it up. I'm trying to entice viewers with yummy food. So they might want to watch and make it themselves. If it's not you then don't watch it. I hope you truly find something you enjoy on TH-cam.

Wow❤

Good job!! I’ve never seen a video like this! I can see all kinda possibilities here!!
@lynbrowning8855 Thank you. I have another video like this on mop cleaner coming out in December. And in January, I'm comparing paper napkins. Then, in February I'm comparing which is the best paper plate would should be using.
Looks super yummy
For a moment I thought she was Martha Stewart and I was so confused. 10/10 recipe is being written fown
Paper plates are out of control for sure. Can't wait for the Christmas cooking videos...I'm always looking for new ideas. Great haul Karen.
Thank you
I use Zout Fels-Naptha Laundry Bar & Stain Remover & Pre-Treater for makeup stains because I have these little reusable makeup remover towels called makeup easers and it works the best for makeup stains! I’ve used it on a lot of other stains as well and have amazing results on those too! I’d give it a try! It’s like 2$ at Walmart!
Love going on the hunt for deals at kroger. They have actually been having some good sales. Great haul❤
Thank you, my Kroger does seem to have better deals in the clearance area than say Meijer. 🥰
Nice shopping haul 🥰

Thank you for the peek of your beautiful, peaceful property😊

That looks awesome! If you remember, I work at Kroger in TN and change out the price tags.. this week was horrible, every tag that I changed went up. This has to stop, now it’s beyond ridiculous! I’m with ya on stocking up because we never know what’s going to happen!
