Ingredients
[Main Ingredient #1]: (e.g., 2 cups of diced chicken or 1 pound of ground beef)
[Main Ingredient #2]: (e.g., 2 cups of cooked pasta or 1½ cups of cooked rice)
Vegetables: (e.g., 1 medium onion, diced; 1 bell pepper, chopped)
Seasonings: (e.g., 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, salt and pepper to taste)
Sauces or Liquids: (e.g., 1 cup tomato sauce or ½ cup chicken broth)
Cheese or Garnishes: (e.g., 1 cup shredded cheese, chopped parsley for garnish)
Directions
Preparation:
Start by gathering all your ingredients and preheating the oven (if baking is required). Chop vegetables and measure seasonings for efficiency.
Cooking the Base:
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of oil and cook the main protein until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Sautéing Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add your chopped vegetables and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and spices, cooking for an additional minute.
Combine and Simmer:
Return the protein to the skillet. Add the liquid ingredients, such as tomato sauce or broth, and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Final Steps:
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish (if required) and top with cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
Serve:
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm with your favorite side dish!
