Easy Baked Beef Brisket
Not only is this apple and onion smothered beef brisket easy and delicious, it's also very fast (for a brisket recipe)! Cooking it low and slow often results in dried-out meat, so instead we dial up the temperature slightly and bake it in about half the time to ensure it's both tender and moist.
Homemade Egg Noodles
I learned to cook many things from my grandmother. One of the family favorites was noodles, however Grandma taught by handfuls and pinches of this and that. I since have tried to convert to US measurements. My grandmother would be 102 if still living.
Michigan Olive Burger
The Michigan olive burger is an iconic Michigan sandwich, a beef patty with a cream cheese-pimento olive spread, Swiss cheese, and crunchy iceberg lettuce. So good!
