Nothing spells comfort food like cheesy, creamy, potatoes au gratin! In my home, we recently put a twist on this old family favorite by adding homemade chorizo and a creamy queso dip to the mix. YUM. It’s deliciously, mildly spicy and oh so indulgent. If your family enjoys the kick of chorizo and the perfect creaminess of homemade nacho cheese, they will love this Creamy Chorizo Potatoes Au Gratin casserole.
Homemade Chorizo Recipe
I haven’t had chorizo in years because I have been avoiding all the mystery additives and spices in the packaged variety. I am thrilled to share with you a recipe for homemade chorizo that is both easy to make and delicious! This recipe can also be made with either grass fed beef or pork depending on your preference.
Chorizo Mini Meatloaves
Meatloaf just takes too long. It’s pretty inexpensive and definitely wholesome, but sometimes the 1+ hour cook time makes it seem like you’re making Sunday supper and not a quick weeknight dinner. So, how do we fix that? Bake the meatloaf mixture in muffin tins instead of a giant loaf pan. Shake up the traditional meatloaf ingredients a little bit, and you’ve got a weeknight meal that packs great flavor and is ready to hit the table in less than an hour.
