Bangers & Co.
Yes, I’ve done this before, but, this is better… Why? Because I didn’t slice the sausages, that let all the juice out and this time I let them rest, covered in tin foil to get all the flavour! 30 minutes from start to table. The best part about cast iron cooking is serving in the […]
Carrot Cake
Greg’s Half Baked Carrot Cake! Sad but true. This gorgeous, super moist and delicious cake was selvedged! To this day I don’t know what went wrong, but I’m here to tell you that you CAN cool a cake that hasn’t been cooked through AND put it back in the oven again to finish. I was about […]
Sausage Skillet
Simple – FAST – Delicious! Add a can of baked brown beans and you have a great meal when your day goes sideways and you need something fast, yet looks like it took more effort than it really does! Tip: Turn your burner on low to medium to heat up the pan. Don’t put oil […]
Glazed Banana Bread
This is ‘No Ordinary Banana Bread’! NOBB. Hmm… “Moist and delicious banana bread recipe. Easy to make, no need for a mixer! Ripe bananas, butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, and flour.” recipe by Elise Bauer of Simply Recipes. I’ve made this so many times over the years, but never in Cast Iron, until now! This […]
Baxter’s Buttermilk Biscuits
The Triple B These biscuits have a golden brown, flaky bottom crust as well as a flaky top crust… every time! Get the butter… eat em up! Tips for making biscuits: Don’t handle them too much. When you cut the butter in, you want to see it (the butter) still after you’re done. Use your […]
Baked Chicken Breasts
Mayonnaise & Parmesan Cheese Chicken Breasts They will ask what it is between mouthfuls, but don’t tell them! They’ll wrinkle up their nose and say REALLY? Yes! Really, and they are juicy, tender and downright delicious. Try them! Someone told me about them a long time ago. I thought it sounded gross but was desperate […]
Biscuits & Balls
The name may be controversial, but it got you to this page! … and once you make these cheesy, tender meatballs, you’ll be glad curiosity got the best of you! WARNING: This dish is not good for your waistline! I normally make meatballs in big batches, then freeze 10 or so to each large freezer […]
Grandpa’s Scalloped Potatoes
Grandpa Campbell made the best Scalloped Potatoes! This is his recipe… It makes even a hater of scalloped potatoes change their mind. (Ahem, Greg.) If you don’t CALL them scalloped potatoes, rather, you introduce them as cheese potato skillet, well… they’ll get some love. Super easy to make. Tip: Don’t overfill your cast iron, or […]
Stuffed Green Peppers
Green Peppers for Two in 6″ Cast Iron Pan I had extra ground beef from the Lasagna Rollups and had to do something with it! I wish I’d written this recipe down! Let’s wing it. It’s really all about your taste anyway and can be made with what your family enjoys for ingredients. Tip: I […]
Shepherds Pie
Leftover potatoes on purpose?? Yes! Don’t we all do that? There’s always a use for leftover mashed, buttery potatoes! Shepherds pie is so easy to make, and this recipe is very flavourful. If I were to do this in a casserole dish, I’d have potatoes lining the bottom of the dish. With Cast Iron (12″ […]
Western Sandwich
Break out the ketchup!! Yes, this is Before Noon food… or After Noon Food… or a late night snack! Anytime you want. Simple to make and very satisfying! Typically, you’ll find everything you need in your fridge already!
Pineapple Upside Down Cake
I’ve never made a Pineapple Upside Down Cake. I’ve seen them before, but never tried one. Why not try it in a Cast Iron frying pan?? I took a very easy route and bought a cake mix. The recipe calls for a few other things added to it, but it turned out extremely light, moist […]
Lasagna Roll Ups
Kids will love preparing this meal!! It’s the same amount of work as traditional lasagna, but you’ll have more fun making it! If you have the enamel mini rounds, one roll-up would fit perfect in each and would be a fun way to serve this dish! Tip: I ended up using 1/2 jar of extra […]
Bacon & Eggs My Way
It sounds crazy, but I always folded my omelette in half, it never occurred to me to fold it into itself like this! It’s way easier! I opt for the easier way if there is one, almost every time. This is simple and fast, and everything tastes better in Cast Iron. Put whatever you have on […]
Baxcana’s Supreme Pizza
The Perfect Pizza (for our house…) I’ve tried a lot of different pizza crusts, and toppings. We’ve eaten a lot of soggy (but tasty) pizza lately. This one was the winner. I was using yeast that had to rise for the other crusts, and while that made me feel like I was REALLY making the […]
Tamale Pie 2 Ways
This is made with an interesting cornbread that has creamed corn and green chilies in it. This is not a cornbread I would make for ‘just cornbread’, but it’s very good with this dish. Starting at the bottom, cornbread, enchilada sauce, spiced ground beef and cheese, baked until the cheese is bubbling and topped with […]
Helluva Good Roast Beef
My photography skills were lacking here, but WOW is this a good way to roast beef!! I used a sirloin tip roast and my clay baker. I did something different this time too. I used meat tenderizer power (no msg) and added to all sides of meat. Then I put on a good coating of […]
