I love the option to have multiple varieties at the same time, and we used it once for a birthday party so everyone could choose their own toppings.
It's a bit simplistic, since it is really only substituting English muffins for real pizza dough. But that ease also makes it perfect for a fast weeknight meal with fresh ingredients rather than ordering a pizza. Note that two variations add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
This recipe is an adaptation of a ground beef recipe using a Dutch oven (or skillet) to combine other ingredients with the ground beef. I’ve been looking for a dip-like recipe or a softer chili recipe, and I thought this might be worth a try.
It turned out to be relatively easy, strong on flavour and a definite keeper in one pot, even doable on a free night during the week.
This was an adaptation of a recipe from a diet recipe book for slow cookers, and it was pretty easy. Also, there is a limited number of items to chop, dice and slice. And the mango chutney is really the key to the sweet taste. I wasn’t a big fan of chutney before, but it is awesome here.
The overall time is about 5 hours, but most of that is cooking time. A weekend project unless you have time to get it going in the morning.
Andrea snagged this recipe from her Mom, and it might have originally been a Looney-Spoons recipe. It’s pork tenderloin with maple syrup and Dijon mustard. Sure, there’s other stuff in it, but those are the two flavours that pop. Totally awesome.
The cooking time for this is just under an hour, but it is best to let it sit in the marinade for at least an hour or overnight. With a little pre-planning, this can easily be a meal for a free night or even a weeknight.
