Turkey Sausage and Pasta #SundaySupper

Turkey Sausage and Pasta plate
Holidays can put a strain on your food budget. Maybe you try to impress guests with tempting goodies. Yummy confections or mouth-watering roasts and turkeys with all the trimmings. Sometimes just feeding the masses aka family 3 squares a day runs up the bill. Reigning in my food bill is a tough nut to crack. (That reminds me, I need nuts, ugh.) Its still okay to enjoy lobster once in a while.
This week Sunday Supper plans on serving budget-friendly meals.
Turkey Sausage and Pasta can be a very budget-friendly meal. Buying sausage in bulk is the way to go. Most stores have some sort of discount when you buy family-sized packages. These packs usually weigh 3 pounds or more.
There are only 2 people living in our household right now. So we get about 5 meals out of 3 pounds. Very economical on our end. When I see pasta my favorite pastas on sale I stock up. Same goes with sauce and sauce ingredients. Tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and tomato paste are must haves around here.

Turkey Sausage and Pasta
Turkey Sausage and Pasta lightly coated in a bbq based sauce is an inexpensive quick to make meal. Add caramelized onions, peppers and mushrooms for a complete meal.
Thanks  Shelby Ruttan and Caroline Williams for hosting this budget-friendly event. You can find their blogs at: http://www.grumpyshoneybunch.com/ and http://www.carolinescooking.com/.

Beef Roast and Cabbage #RoastPerfect #SundaySupper

Beef Roast and Cabbage

This post is sponsored by Certified Angus Beef ® brand in conjunction with a social media campaign through Sunday Supper LLC. All opinions are my own.

Seasonal Roasting with Certified Angus Beef ® brand

roast perfect banner

It’s time to create your family’s new holiday favorites. Add a pinch of love and a Certified Angus Beef ® brand roast for exceptional beef with extraordinary flavor! One bite and you’ll be swooning over flavor – though we recommend additional bites for a more satisfying experience!

How many times have you thought about making a beef roast for the Holidays but changed your mind? I’m guilty of that too.

Did you feel intimidated? If you answered yes, you’re in good company.

Recent research done by Certified Angus Beef ® brand found that Nearly 1 out of 4 consumers had NEVER cooked a beef roast!
So why aren’t they roasting delicious Prime Rib or Ribeye Roasts?

Almost 20 percent say they don’t know how, and more than 30 percent say they don’t have time. Nearly two-thirds of people say they don’t know which cuts of beef are best for roasting.

 

Certified Angus Beef ® brand listened.

Their Roast Perfect app makes selecting, buying, cooking and serving beef roasts, so much easier. Roast Perfect gives suggestions on cut and size, calculates exact cooking times, provides tested recipes, educates consumers on how to work with their butcher, and identifies the locations where users can buy Certified Angus Beef ® brand.

There is even a section devoted to Chef tested recipes including delicious sides. How cool is that?
The app connects directly to recipes on CertifiedAngusBeef.com .

Did I mention the Roast Perfect app is free?

I recently had the good fortune to try Roast Perfect app myself.
I admit I was a bit scared of ruining this sizable rib roast.

CAB roast oven

I wanted to make Roast Beef and Cabbage with roasted vegetables. Not the usual stew-type or pot roast meal. I like the idea of using cabbage as a base for the beef instead of noodles or rice.

That’s where the how-to section of the app came in handy. I met Chef Michael at The Food and Conference this past July in Orlando. I learned a lot from his demo. His instructions are easy to follow.
roast perfect app how-to
Chef Michael lays out the prep step by step. You’ll find everything from start to finish. How to season the roast, how to prep the pan, when to sear, roast and rest the meat.
Always check your roast with a meat thermometer. I first check mine 20 to 30 minutes before the recommended time. Pull it from the oven 5 to 10 degrees before it reaches desired doneness.

Rest the roast according to suggested minutes on the app. This one set for 15 minutes. I keep the thermometer in the roast while resting to keep an eye on the temperature.

I think this roast turned out beautifully! What do you think?

While the roast is cooking, prepare the vegetables.

Gently lay the beef slices over the cabbage. All the beef juices blend into the cabbage while your other vegetables stay firm not soggy.
