Becoming Betty Crocker: Steak & Garlic Frites

So, last night I pulled out 3 steaks that were frozen together.  I debated whether or not to make steaks again & what would I have with it since we had mashed potatoes last night?

Then it hit me - Steak Frites!  We used to have steak frites on our rotation when hubby was on days a long time ago.  But, I wanted to do something a little different - Garlic Frites.  I looked at this recipe and changed it up a bit.

I cut the potatoes up and then put 4 teaspoons of vegetable oil on them, added pepper & garlic powder unil lightly covered.


 
I put the oven at 400 degrees, turned at 20 minutes, cooked for another 20 minutes and below is the final product!


YUMMY!  We had steak with Montreal seasoning (our favorite) and blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping the frites in.

I think I'm getting the hang of this Betty Crocker stuff!

Becoming Betty Crocker: Easy, Peasy Recipes

I'm excited about this, so I need to share.

I receive several food product newsletters to keep up-to-date on coupons.  Usually, these newsletters have recipes too.  Now, you know I'm "Becoming Betty" so I'm actually checking out these recipes now.

Today, one of these newsletters lead me to recipes using Philadelphia Cooking Cream.  Now, I've seen several coupons for this, but really didn't know how to use it.  JACKPOT!  This website has over 100 recipes using the cooking cream AND THEY ARE EASY!!!!

I am all over this!  I've pinned several of these recipes to my Pinterest recipe board.
