The whole family absolutely loves this recipe. Guess what? It's free of artificial food additives - unlike the Hamburger Helper from the box! This is a quick and easy recipe that I make when I'm short on time. The only thing I do not like about this recipe is that it's small. If you have a bigger family than four, I suggest you double it. I changed the ingredients a little.
Ingredients:
1 pound Ground Beef
1½ cups Edison Grainery Quinoa Fusilli
2 cups Unsweetened Coconut Milk or milk of your preference
½ cup Water
2 Tablespoons Whole Wheat White Flour
¼ teaspoon Onion Salt (1/2 onion preferable if time allows)
¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder (1 clove garlic preferable if time allows)
¼ teaspoon Paprika
¾ cup Freshly Shredded Sharp Cheddar
Sea Salt and Pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Brown beef in skillet and drain. Take pan off burner and add pasta, spices, flour, and cheese.
Stir in milk and water, mix ingredients to combine. Return to burner over medium-high heat.
Bring mixture just to a boil, then reduce heat to a light simmer. Stir frequently.
Place a lid over the skillet, and allow to simmer until pasta is cooked, about 10-15 minutes stirring frequently and adjusting heat as needed.
Tomato Juice Hotdish
This is an updated recipe that my mom always cooked for me. This hot dish is super cheap and fast to make. We eat this at least once a week, just because it is the fastest meal, I know how to make that the entire family will eat. It is a sure bet that we will be eating this the night after I make tacos. I just save the taco meat and whip this together in less than 30 minutes.
Ingredients:
1 lb. Ground Beef
3 tablespoons Homemade Taco Seasoning
4 cups Edison Grainery Quinoa Fusilli
1½ cups Tomato Juice
Instructions:
Boil the noodles according to the instructions on the box
While you are waiting for the noodles to cook, brown the beef in a skillet and drain
Add 3 tablespoons of taco seasoning mixture plus 1/2 to 3/4 cup of water to the cooked ground beef.
Once noodles are cooked, drain and add it back into the pot
Stir in all the ingredients and bring the mixture just to a boil
*** If you have extra time, add in veggies. It is fun to make this more of a taco hot dish by adding in peppers, olives, tomatoes, etc...
Crockpot Pepper Steak
Ingredients:
Optional marinade: ⅓ cup Coconut Aminos, 2 Tablespoons Arrowroot Flour or Cornstarch, 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic and ⅛ teaspoon Baking Soda
2 pounds Top Sirloin
1 Yellow Onion
1 can (14.5 oz.) Sliced Stewed Tomatoes
3 Tablespoons Honey
3 Tablespoon Coconut Aminos
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
¾ cup Green Bell Pepper, chopped - 1 small pepper
1 cup Beef Broth
1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
¼ - ½ teaspoon Ground Cayenne Pepper
¼ teaspoon Ground Ginger
3 Tablespoons Arrowroot Flour or Cornstarch + 3 tablespoon Water
3 Sweet Bell Peppers (Red, Orange or Yellow)
Optional: Green Onions, Fresh Parsley, Rice or Quinoa, Toasted Sesame Seeds, Crushed Red Pepper, Pineapple Chunks
Instructions:
If desired, marinade the meat. Remove the fat and cut the top sirloin into 2-inch strips. Place in a large sealable bag and shake or massage with the cornstarch or arrowroot flour, minced garlic and baking soda. Add the soy sauce in the bag and shake to coat. Seal the bag and place in the fridge overnight or for a few hours. At the least, marinade for 30 minutes for an effect.
Crockpot:
Finely dice a yellow onion and add it to the crockpot. Pour in the undrained sliced stewed tomatoes. Add the honey or brown sugar (start with 1-1/2 Tbsp and add more to taste at the end of cooking.)
Add the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, chopped green bell pepper, beef broth, minced garlic, cayenne pepper and ground ginger.
In a small bowl whisk with a fork the cornstarch or arrowroot flour and the water together.
While stirring constantly, add to the crockpot.
Discard the marinade and add the meat. I also add about 1/2 tsp seasoned salt and 1/4 tsp pepper here, but add to your taste preference and depending on if you used low sodium soy sauce or not.)
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours (less if your crockpot runs really hot! Check around 4-5 hours.)
About 2 hours before you are ready to eat, add in the bell peppers (stems and seeds removed and thinly sliced). Stir and cover again. This keeps them nice and "crisp tender" instead of getting mushy if added at the start.
When ready to serve, service over rice or quinoa. Add fresh parsley, green onions, toasted sesame seeds, crushed red pepper to taste as desired. Add pineapple chunks if desired. Increase any spices to personal preference (cayenne pepper, ginger, garlic powder).

Steak Bites with Sweet Potatoes and Peppers are one-skillet wonder you’ll return to again and again! Easy, fast, filling and nutritious, this is really good real food at it’s most delicious.
Ingredients:
1 large Sweet Potato (about 12 ounces), diced into 1" pieces
1 teaspoon Sea or Kosher Salt
1 lb. Flat Iron Steak, diced into 1" pieces
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil, divided
2 Cloves Garlic, minced
2 Bell Peppers, seeded and diced into 1" pieces
4 Green Onions, thinly sliced
2 Tablespoons Coconut Aminos
2 teaspoons Cracked Black Pepper
2 Tablespoons Fresh Chopped Cilantro
Instructions:
Place the diced sweet potatoes into a microwave safe bowl, then sprinkle with 1tsp salt. Cover with a plate and microwave on high until just barely tender, 4-6 minutes. Stir once halfway through. The potatoes are ready when you can pierce one with the tip of the knife and meet just a bit of resistance. Take care not to overcook at this stage or they'll turn out mushy later.
Heat a 12" skillet over high heat. Add 2 TBSP olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the steak in a single layer. Cook, turning every two minutes, until the pieces are browned, and the center is medium, about 10 minutes. Remove the steak from the skillet using a slotted spoon and set aside onto a plate.
Add the remaining 1 Tbsp. of olive oil to the skillet. Add the sweet potatoes, toss to coat in the fat and cook until browned, stirring occasionally, until browned, 3-4 minutes.
Make a well in the center of the pan and add the garlic. Sautee, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the bell pepper and green onions and toss with the potatoes. Sautee, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are bite tender, 3-4 minutes.
Add the steak and juice back to the pan along with the coconut amnios. Toss all ingredients and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until the liquid has evaporated.
Add the pepper and cilantro, toss, and remove from heat. Portion onto plates, top with additional fresh cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.
