Fill peppers evenly with meat mixture. Pour 1/2 cup tomato sauce into the bottom of a 6 quart or larger Instant Pot and stir in 1/2 cup of water.

Irish Apple Cake
Irish Apple Cake Serves: 10 Made By: Denise Mull_Kids@... "Delicious and moist" An authentic Irish Farmhouse Apple Cake ~ delicious with or without the traditional custard sauce! Author: Sue Moran Recipe Type: Irish Total Time: 1 hour 35 minutes Prep Time: 35 minutes Cook Time: 1 hour Ingredients: CAKE INGREDIENTS 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 3 tablespoons whole milk or cream 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon salt 3 about Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced. Mine weighed a little over a pound after slicing. confectioner's sugar for dusting STREUSEL TOPPING INGREDIENTS 3/4 cup all purpose flour 1/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats 6 tablespoons unsalted cold butter cut in small pieces 1/2 cup granulated sugar CUSTARD INGREDIENTS 6 large eggs yolks 6 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 1/2 cups whole milk ~ you can also use half and half or cream 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla Directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 9 inch springform pan. 2. Make the custard sauce ahead of time. Bring the milk to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile whisk the yolks and sugar until well combined. Drizzle a little of the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking all the time. Drizzle a little more, then transfer that back into the pan of hot milk and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Do this slowly, over medium heat, and I like to use a silicone spoon or spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan as it heats. The mixture will become velvety and thickend, but it will not be as thick as pudding. It will continue to thicken as it cools, so don't overcook or it can curdle. Stir in the vanilla. 3. Pour the custard through a sieve (to catch any stray lumps) into a heat proof jar or bowl and place a piece of plastic wrap onto the surface so it won't form a skin as it cools. Put in the refrigerator until completely chilled. 4. To make the streusel topping, blend the bits of butter into the flour, sugar, and oats until the butter is incorporated and the mixture has a coarse crumbly texture. Put in the refrigerator. 5. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. 6. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the butter/sugar mixture, along with the milk or cream. 7. Spoon the batter into your prepared pan, and smooth out evenly. Top with the sliced apples, and then the streusel topping. Note: no need to arrange the apples perfectly, but try to get them in an even layer. 8. Bake for about 50 minutes to an hour, until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick comes out without wet batter clinging to it. 9. Let cool a bit in the pan before removing. Dust with confectioner's sugar before serving. Source: theviewfromgreatisland.com Ginny Butterfield Cranberry Twp, Pa

Triple Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls
Recipe courtesy of Steve Jackson for Food Network Kitchen From: Food Network Magazine Triple Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls rated 4.3 of 5 stars3 Reviews Level: Easy Total: 3 hr 50 min (plus cooling) Active: 50 min Yield: 12 servings Nutrition Info Cinnamon rolls for chocolate lovers. We took a classic soft and pillowy cinnamon roll recipe, coated in a thick sweet glaze, and added chocolate three ways. Cocoa powder is added to the dough, and decadent chocolate hazelnut spread is added to the center along with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon sugar and chopped hazelnuts. After they are baked, these cinnamon rolls get coated in a rich chocolate glaze. Ingredients Deselect AllFor the Dough: 1 cup whole milk 1 1/4-ounce packet active dry yeast 1/4 cup plus 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly, plus more for the bowl and dish 1 large egg yolk 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting 2 tablespoons Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon kosher saltFor the Filling: 1/4 cup granulated sugar 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 2/3 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella) 1/3 cup finely chopped hazelnutsFor the Glaze: 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped, plus shaved chocolate for topping 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar 5 tablespoons milk 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Pinch of kosher salt Make the dough: Heat the milk in a small saucepan over low heat until it reaches 100 degrees F on a thermometer. Remove from the heat and sprinkle the yeast and 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar on top (do not stir); set aside until foamy, 5 minutes. Whisk the melted butter, egg yolk and vanilla into the yeast mixture. Add the flour, cocoa powder, remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix with the dough hook on medium speed to combine. Make a well in the center, add the milk mixture and beat on medium speed. Increase the speed to medium-high and continue beating until the dough is sticky and elastic, about 6 minutes. (Alternatively, stir the yeast mixture into the flour mixture in a bowl with a wooden spoon, then knead by hand.) Transfer the dough to a clean surface and form into a ball. Brush a clean bowl with melted butter. Add the dough and turn to coat in the butter; cover with a kitchen towel and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. Make the filling: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Stir together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a rectangle, then roll out into a 10-by-18-inch rectangle. Spread the softened butter over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border along one long side; sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the top. Dollop teaspoons of the chocolate-hazelnut spread all over the dough, about 1 inch apart, then sprinkle the hazelnuts all over. Brush the unbuttered border with water. Starting from the opposite long side, tightly roll up the dough, shaping it with your hands into an even log (it will be 22 to 24 inches at this point). Pinch the seam to seal. Trim the ends of the log, then cut it into 12 rounds, about 1 1/2 inches thick. Place cut-side up in the baking dish. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Uncover the rolls. Bake until they spring back when gently pressed, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make the glaze: Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth. Let cool. Whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, milk, melted butter, melted chocolate, vanilla and salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Spoon and spread the glaze all over the rolls and sprinkle with shaved chocolate. Source: Food Network ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO

The Best Chicken Noodle Soup
Recipe courtesy of Food Network Kitchen The Best Chicken Noodle Soup rated 4.7 of 5 stars50 Reviews Level: Easy Total: 1 hr 45 min Active: 20 min Yield: 8 servings Nutrition Info We chose to use chicken leg quarters rather than a whole chicken to make this well-loved soup. It shortens the cooking time without sacrificing any flavor, and the dark meat adds extra depth. Carrots, celery and onion are called for twice in the recipe—first they’re simmered whole along with the chicken and aromatics to create a rich and flavorful broth. After straining them out, sliced vegetables are added to the soup to finish it. Nothing is as simple, comforting and satisfying. Ingredients Deselect All 5 medium carrots, peeled 5 large stalks celery, trimmed 1 large yellow onion, peeled and halved 3 pounds chicken leg quarters (about 4 legs) 10 whole black peppercorns 2 sprigs rosemary 2 sprigs thyme 1 bay leaf 4 sprigs flat-leaf parsley Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 4 ounces wide egg noodles (about 4 cups) Add 3 of the carrots, 3 stalks of the celery, half the onion, the chicken, peppercorns, rosemary, thyme and bay leaf to a large stock pot. Separate the parsley leaves from the stems and reserve the leaves. Add the stems to the pot. Cover with 3 quarts water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the broth is golden and the chicken is cooked through, 40 to 50 minutes. Use tongs to remove the chicken from the pot and put in a large bowl to cool. Strain the stock through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or other container. Discard the solids. Wipe out the stockpot and pour the strained broth back into the pot. Cut the remaining 2 carrots diagonally into 1/4-slices. Cut the remaining 2 celery stalks into 1/2-inch slices. Dice the remaining half of the onion. Add the cut vegetables to the stock and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. While the vegetables are cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the noodles until al dente, about 5 minutes, then drain and reserve. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and tear the meat into bite-size pieces. Discard the bones and skin. Add the meat back to the pot along with the cooked noodles. Chop the reserved parsley leaves and add to the pot. Season with 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons salt and some pepper and bring to a simmer to reheat. Source: Food Network ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO

Air Fryer Doughnuts
Recipe courtesy of Dana Beninati for Food Network Kitchen Air Fryer Doughnuts rated 3.8 of 5 stars25 Reviews Level: Easy Total: 4 hr Active: 1 hr Yield: 8 doughnuts Nutrition Info Who doesn’t love a doughnut? With the help of an air fryer, you can enjoy homemade yeast doughnuts without any of the hassle of cooking with hot oil. But are they as good? Well, after much testing, we cracked the code for creating a tender doughnut that is not deep fried – it’s all about using a combination of all-purpose and cake flour. This recipe results in a tender doughnut that is lighter than air. Dusted in cinnamon sugar, these become simply irresistible! Ingredients Deselect All 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast 3/4 cup whole milk, warmed (110 degrees F) 1 large egg 2 tablespoons canola oil 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the bowl 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting 1 cup cake flour (not self-rising) 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon Special equipment: a 6-quart air fryer, a doughnut cutter or wide-mouth mason jar and a metal pastry tip or shot glass Sprinkle the yeast over the warm milk in a liquid measuring cup. Let stand until foamy on top, about 10 minutes. Beat the egg and oil using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until combined. Add the vanilla, 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, and the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed until combined. Whisk the all-purpose flour, cake flour, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and the salt in a medium bowl. Add to the stand mixer in two additions, mixing on low speed after each addition until combined. Continue beating on medium speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until the dough is no longer sticky to the touch, about 1 minute. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead into a smooth ball. Brush a large bowl with melted butter. Add the dough and cover with a clean kitchen cloth. Let rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out to 1/2 inch thick. Cut out 8 doughnuts with a doughnut cutter (or use a wide-mouth Mason jar to create the outer edge and the wide end of a metal pastry tip or a shot glass for the inner edge). Reserve the smaller rounds for making doughnut holes. Cover with the clean cloth and let rise for 30 minutes more. Place half of the doughnuts in a 6-quart air fryer and cook at 350 degrees F until golden brown all over, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack and repeat with the remaining doughnuts and doughnut holes. Brush the doughnuts on all sides with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar with the cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Place the doughnuts into the cinnamon sugar and sprinkle to coat on all sides. Serve warm or at room temperature. Cook’s Note Settings may vary on your air fryer depending on the model. Please refer to the manufacturer’s guide. Source: Food Network ~~~~~ Rhonda in MO
