During the busy week, we love to make Mom’s Homemade Hamburger Helper. It’s easy to make, macro-friendly, and requires very few ingredients. This recipe will make four portions, but you can double it to feed more or have extra for leftovers. You can use any pasta variation that you or your family prefer. We like to serve Mom’s Homemade Hamburger Helper in a bowl and topped with fresh, cracked black pepper.

Inspired by Celebrity Chef, Rosie Daley, this dish of bow-tie pasta with roasted red bell pepper sauce and seasoned scallops is a perfect date night dish. Enjoy a Dana's Treat for a cocktail.

This Big Mac Casserole Recipe is everything you love about burgers without all the guilt. It’s delicious, easy to make, and family friendly. This is a great dinner option for the busy work week or for BBQs and get-togethers. You can customize it to your liking by choosing your own toppings.

Inspired by James Beard's Roast Chicken recipe with 40 cloves of garlic, we substituted pork in our Roast Pork with 40 Cloves of Garlic recipe. A delicious weeknight dish for the whole family.

A beautiful spaghetti dish for a quiet evening at home. Serve with fresh berry salad on the side and your favorite red wine. Delicious!

Creamy Chicken Chili is a winning recipe for so many reasons. It's easy, delicious, and all cooks in the Crock-Pot for less mess and an easy clean up. During the busy week we all face challenges and activities that make it difficult to have a healthy, hearty meal on the table for our families. At The Maverick Observer we love simple meals that taste amazing and make our lives easier.

When I was growing up, my mom would make German Beef Rouladen on special occasions. As I got older and tried to replicate the dish, it never came out like moms. During COVID in 2020, I decided to keep cooking until I got it right. My husband ate quite a few “experimental” attempts. The recipe below would make my mom proud. It reminds me of my childhood, my German heritage, and wonderful family gatherings.

This Sheet Pan Cauliflower Fajitas recipe is an excellent vegetarian dinner option. They are delicious and flavorful! You can adjust your spice mix to cater to your individual taste, but the spice blend we have is fantastic. Baking them in the oven or in the smoker will yield a great result that everyone will love.

This Buffalo Chicken Pasta recipe is like healthy, comfort food if that's a thing. It's a dinner recipe that everyone should try! Chicken, cheddar, and buffalo sauce team up to create this addicting, pasta dish.

Louisiana Egg Rolls combine Cajun rubbed chicken, andouille sausage, and roasted corn for a flavor explosion! They pack a little punch but aren't too spicy. We like to serve ours with a Cajun honey mustard, but the possibilities are endless. This is a pretty simple recipe, so don't be afraid to take it on! Not to mention, whoever is lucky enough to get one will be thanking you for days.
