Pioneer Woman Halupki Casserole Recipes

HALUPKI CASSEROLE (STUFFED CABBAGE CASSEROLE)

Steps:

• Chop garlic, pepper, and onion.
• In a large bowl add melted butter, 1 T garlic salt, and 1 T black pepper to the chopped vegetables.
• Add UNCOOKED rice and RAW ground beef and mix really well.
• In a medium bowl mix tomato sauce, brown sugar, 1 T garlic salt, 1 T black pepper, and water. Adjust season to your taste. We like it a little sweeter so I usually use about 1 1/2 c brown sugar.
• In a 9" x 13" pan spread half of the sliced cabbage, enough to cover the bottom.
• Loosely cover the cabbage with the meat mixture. Don't press the meat down just lay it on top of the cabbage.
• Cover meat with remaining sliced cabbage and pour sauce over the top.
• Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 for about 2 hours or cabbage is soft.

PIONEER WOMAN CHICKEN AND RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, season the chicken legs with the salt, pepper, paprika and parsley.
• Heat the oil over high heat in a casserole and place the chicken legs, skin side down, in the hot oil.
• Fry for 5-6 minutes or until the thighs are golden and turn them. Fry for another 5-6 minutes to brown the other side and remove from the container.
• In the case of chicken pieces, brown it well on all sides so that it is crunchy, set the chicken aside.
• In the casserole where we previously cooked the chicken, add garlic and onion to the pan and cook until the onion pieces are transparent.
• Add the chicken broth and season with salt and pepper. Mix well until it starts to boil.
• Add the chicken legs back to the casserole, skin side down, over the rice. Put a lid on and wait for it to boil.
• Cook for 35-40 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked. Stir from time to time to prevent the rice from sticking.
• Remove from heat when fully cooked.
• Serve hot with the addition of chopped parsley and Parmesan to taste.

DUMP-AND-BAKE STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Spray a large 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Place half of the shredded cabbage in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
• Top with half of the uncooked rice, half of the onions, and half of the uncooked meat. You'll want to break the meat up into small pieces with your fingers as you add it to the dish to make sure that it cooks in an even layer.
• Season with half of the salt, half of the pepper, and half of the garlic powder. Repeat layers once more, starting with the shredded cabbage.
• Sprinkle top of the casserole with remaining salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together condensed tomato soup and beef broth. Pour soup mixture over the top of the casserole.
• Cover tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil, stir everything, and cover with foil again. Return dish (covered) to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until rice and vegetables are fully cooked and tender.
• Remove foil. Sprinkle top of casserole with shredded cheese and chopped cooked bacon. Place in the oven uncovered for about 5 more minutes, or just until the cheese melts.

HOMINY CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan.
• In a large skillet, fry the bacon over medium-high heat until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. In the bacon fat, cook the onion and pepper until just starting to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the hominy, half-and-half and hot sauce. When the mixture is bubbling, turn off the heat and stir in the bacon and some of the Cheddar and Monterey Jack, reserving some of the cheese for later. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and more hot sauce if needed.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and top with the remaining cheese and the breadcrumbs. Bake until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.

CHICKEN JALAPENO POPPER CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the chicken breasts on one half of a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with the chili powder, cumin and some salt and pepper. Place the jalapeno peppers on the other half of the same baking sheet. Drizzle them with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• On a second baking sheet, lay the bacon slices out in a single layer. Put both baking sheets into the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through and the bacon is crispy, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the cream cheese, Cheddar, sour cream, chicken stock and paprika together in a mixing bowl.
• Transfer the bacon and chicken to a cutting board. Dice the chicken and chop the bacon. Add all of the diced chicken to the cream cheese mixture along with half of the chopped bacon. Stir together until well mixed.
• Transfer half of the chicken mixture to an 8-inch square casserole dish. Arrange half of the roasted jalapenos on top of the chicken mixture. Top with the remaining chicken mixture followed by the rest of the roasted jalapenos.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the fried jalapenos, breadcrumbs and the remaining bacon. Toss with the melted butter until evenly mixed. Sprinkle the top of the casserole with the breadcrumb mixture. Bake until bubbly and golden, 25 to 27 minutes.
