We had a very nice lady gave us Tomatillos at a yard sale, and salsa is what I came up with. I will be caning it tomorrow. Yes! it's that good! (she gave us a whole crate) YUM! I love salsa from Mexican Restaurants , but this is over the top delicious ! Made right in your own home. Don't forget the Over The Border Tortilla chips!

Pulse about 10 times (or until desired consistency ) The second photo is with 10 pulses. After pulsing is finished add diced yellow onion and mix well. Let refrigerate until cold and spices blend.

  • Make Your Own Allspice | Lovemyinstantpot

    Make Your Own Allspice Share Don’t forget to check out my Instagram account – Or give me a follow on Facebook or see what I am pinning on Pinterest or Twitter ! Allspice is a versatile spice derived from the dried berries of the Pimenta dioica plant, native to Central America. Its flavor profile combines the aromatic and warm notes of cinnamon, the pungent and slightly sweet essence of cloves, and the rich, earthy undertones of nutmeg. This spice is often used to impart a sense of warmth and depth to dishes, both sweet and savory, in cuisines around the world. Say goodbye to preservatives and mystery ingredients – when you make your own allspice, you take control of what goes into your dishes You Will Need 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon ground cloves 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg Make Your own Recipes Cumin Cinnamon Sugar Au Jes Packets Zesty Italian Seasoning Garlic Butter Ranch Dressing Packet Thank you so much for supporting my site How To Make Allspice ​​ Gather Your Ingredients: Measure out the ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg. Make sure they are of good quality and freshly ground if possible. Mix the Spices: In a small bowl, combine the measured amounts of ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg. Blend Thoroughly: Use a spoon or a small whisk to blend the spices together thoroughly. Make sure the spices are evenly distributed to create a well-balanced allspice blend. Store Properly: Transfer the homemade allspice blend to an airtight container, such as a small glass jar or a spice container. Label the container with the date and contents. Use in Recipes: You can now use your homemade allspice blend in various recipes that call for allspice. It's a versatile spice that adds warmth and depth to both sweet and savory dishes. ​ ​ Note: If you prefer whole spices, you can also make homemade allspice by grinding equal parts of whole cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a spice grinder. However, keep in mind that the flavor might be slightly different from the pre-ground version. Thank you so much for supporting my site Allspice is a versatile spice with a wide range of uses in both sweet and savory dishes. Here are some common uses: ​ Baking: Allspice adds warmth and complexity to baked goods such as cakes, cookies, muffins, and pies. It's often used in gingerbread, fruitcakes, and spiced breads. Sauces and Gravies: Allspice can enhance the flavor of savory sauces, gravies, and marinades for meats, poultry, and fish. It can be a key ingredient in barbecue sauces and glazes. Meat and Poultry: Allspice works well as a seasoning for meats and poultry, providing a rich and aromatic flavor. It's commonly used in jerk seasoning and sausages. Stews and Soups: Allspice adds depth and warmth to hearty stews, soups, and chili dishes. It complements the flavors of vegetables, beans, and meats. Pickling: Allspice berries are sometimes used in pickling brines for vegetables, fruits, and meats, adding a distinctive flavor to the preserved foods. Canning and Preserves: Allspice can be included in jams, jellies, and fruit preserves, providing a unique spiced element to the preserves. Desserts: Allspice can be added to ice creams, custards, and other desserts to introduce a warm and slightly exotic flavor note. Hot Beverages: Allspice can be used to infuse warm beverages like mulled wine, cider, and spiced tea, adding a comforting aroma and taste. Curries: Allspice is sometimes used in curry blends to contribute a layer of depth and complexity to the overall flavor. Cocktails: Allspice can be used as a garnish or infused into cocktails, bringing a unique spiced twist to drinks. Seasoning Blends: Allspice is a component of various spice blends, such as pumpkin pie spice, garam masala, and Baharat, contributing to the overall flavor profile. Breads and Rolls: Allspice can be added to bread and roll recipes, creating a warm and inviting aroma in freshly baked goods. Allspice is also known as: Jamaica pepper, pimento, or myrtle pepper. ​ ​ Remember, the potency of allspice can vary, so it's best to start with a smaller amount and adjust to taste. Its warm and slightly peppery flavor can be a delightful addition to a wide array of dishes, allowing you to explore and experiment with different culinary creations. Thank you so much for supporting my site To properly store allspice and maintain its flavor and freshness, follow these guidelines: ​ Choose the Right Container: Use an airtight container that is specifically designed for storing spices. Glass jars with tight-fitting lids are ideal, as they help prevent air, moisture, and light from entering the container. Keep it Cool and Dark: Store the container in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and humidity. Heat and light can degrade the flavor and aroma of spices over time. Avoid Moisture: Moisture can cause spices to clump and lose their potency. Make sure the container is completely dry before adding the allspice, and avoid using a damp spoon when scooping out the spice. Label and Date: Label the container with the name of the spice ("Allspice") and the date of storage. This will help you keep track of how long the spice has been stored and ensure you use it while it's still at its best. Keep Away from Strong Odors: Allspice, like other spices, can absorb strong odors from the environment. Store it away from pungent or aromatic items to prevent flavor contamination. Avoid Freezing or Refrigeration: While some spices benefit from being stored in the freezer or refrigerator, allspice is best stored at room temperature. Freezing or refrigeration can introduce moisture and affect the flavor and texture of the spice. Buy Whole Berries: If possible, consider buying whole allspice berries instead of ground allspice. Whole berries have a longer shelf life and retain their flavor and aroma better. Grind them as needed for recipes. Check for Freshness: Over time, spices lose their potency and flavor. Periodically check the aroma and taste of your stored allspice. If the flavor seems weak or dull, it might be time to replace it. ​ ​ By following these storage tips, you can ensure that your allspice remains flavorful and aromatic for an extended period, allowing you to use it in various culinary creations with confidence. ​

Set the Instant Pot to "Manual" (or "Pressure Cook") for 15 minutes with an instant release. If your hamburger is already thawed, skip this step. Once the hamburger is cooked, drain any excess liquid, and then cut the cooked hamburger into bite-size pieces. Turn on the Instant Pot's sauté function and brown the hamburger pieces. Add the butter, drained mushrooms, diced onion, and minced garlic to the Instant Pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onions are almost translucent and the hamburger is almost fully cooked. Stir in the diced tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, and macaroni. If you're using store-bought spaghetti sauce , add the dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper at this point. Mix well. Place the Instant Pot's lid on, ensuring it's set to sealing, not venting. Set the Instant Pot to "Manual" (or "Pressure Cook") for 8 minutes. After the cooking cycle is complete, perform an instant release. Wait until the pressure valve drops, and then open the lid. Stir in 1/2 cup of shredded Fiesta cheese until it's well combined. Preheat your broiler. Layer the casserole mixture into a baking dish, creating two layers. Add 1/2 cup of shredded Fiesta cheese between the layers and sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese on top.

Spicy Goulash: Add some heat by incorporating crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños. You can also use a spicy tomato sauce or add hot sauce to taste. Mexican Goulash: Give it a Mexican twist by adding black beans, corn, chili powder, and cumin. Top with fresh cilantro, avocado, and a squeeze of lime juice. Mediterranean Goulash: Use lamb instead of beef and flavor it with Mediterranean herbs like oregano and rosemary. Add kalamata olives and feta cheese for a Greek-inspired twist. Cheese Variety: Experiment with different cheese blends such as a Mexican cheese blend for a Tex-Mex flair or Mozzarella cheese for a milder taste. Healthier Goulash: Use lean ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. Opt for whole wheat pasta and reduce the cheese for a lighter version. Creamy Goulash: Add a touch of heavy cream or Greek yogurt to make it creamier and richer in texture. Herb-Infused Goulash: Enhance the flavor with fresh herbs like basil, thyme, or parsley. You can also add dried herbs like Italian seasoning or Herbes de Provence. Goulash Soup: Increase the liquid content to make it more soupy.

These variations can add new flavors and textures to this comforting classic. Thank you so much for supporting my site Here are some tips for preparing Cheesy Goulash and guidelines for storing leftovers: ​ Use High-Quality Cheese: Invest in good-quality cheese for a richer and more flavorful goulash. Sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend of cheeses work well. Customize Veggies: Feel free to add extra vegetables like bell peppers, diced carrots, or spinach for added nutrition and color. Adjust Seasonings: Taste the goulash before serving and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You can add more salt, pepper, or herbs if needed. Homemade Spaghetti Sauce: Consider making your own spaghetti sauce for a fresher and more robust flavor. Portion Control: Cheesy Goulash can be quite filling, so keep portion sizes in mind. Adjust servings according to your appetite. Storage: Refrigeration: Store any leftover goulash in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Freezing: If you want to store it for a longer period, you can freeze Cheesy Goulash. Allow it to cool completely, then transfer it to a freezer-safe container or resealable plastic bags. Label with the date and freeze for up to 2-3 months. Thawing: When ready to eat frozen goulash, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until heated through. Reheating: To reheat goulash, place it in a microwave-safe dish, cover with a microwave-safe lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap (leave a vent), and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between intervals until it's heated to your desired temperature. Alternatively, you can reheat it in a saucepan on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally. Cheese Topping: The cheese may lose some of its initial gooeyness after reheating. To bring back the cheesy texture, you can add a small amount of shredded cheese while reheating and stir it in. Add Liquid If Needed: If the goulash has thickened considerably upon reheating, you can add a little broth, water, or tomato sauce to achieve the desired consistency. Fresh Herbs: Consider garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley just before serving to add a burst of freshness. ​ ​ Remember to follow safe food handling practices when storing, thawing, and reheating leftovers to ensure they remain safe and delicious.
