This is the ULTIMATE cheesy, creamy Potato Gratin incoming 😍🧀

This is the kind of side dish that feels so decadent, like you just ordered it at your favorite steakhouse… but it’s actually SO simple to make at home!!! Crispy golden edges, tender buttery potatoes, and that rich, melty cheese pull moment we all live for 🤌✨

Perfect for steak night, holidays, dinner parties, or honestly just because you deserve it!!!

Comment “POTATO GRATIN” and I’ll send you the recipe!!! 🥔🧡

⸻

🧀 Creamy Steakhouse-Style Potato Gratin

Ingredients:
• 3 lbs Yukon gold potatoes (thinly sliced)
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
• 1/2 tsp fresh thyme (or 1/4 tsp dried)
• 2 cups shredded Gruyère cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan
• 2 tbsp butter (for greasing the dish)

How to Make It:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F and butter a baking dish.
2. Slice potatoes super thin (a mandoline makes this easy). Coat the sliced potatoes in your parmesan cheese in a bowl.
3. In a saucepan, warm cream + milk + garlic + thyme (don’t boil, just warm it up).
4. Layer potatoes in the dish, sprinkling Gruyère cheese between layers.
5. Pour the warm cream mixture over the top and gently press down so everything’s coated.
6. Cover with foil and bake 45 minutes.
7. Remove foil and bake 25–35 more minutes until golden, bubbly, and the potatoes are fork tender.
8. Let it rest 10 minutes before serving (this helps it set up perfectly).

⸻

✨ Pro Tip: The top should look browned and irresistible, and the edges should be bubbling like a little cheesy hot tub situation. That’s how you KNOW it’s right.

If you make this, tag me because I need to see that cheesy pull!! 😍

30-Minute Beef Stroganoff that tastes like it’s been cooking all day.

This is classic beef stroganoff made weeknight-friendly, rich, creamy, savory, and loaded with that slow-cooked flavor without the slow cook. If you love easy beef stroganoff, creamy stroganoff sauce, and comfort-style dinners that don’t take forever, this one’s for you.

INGREDIENTS:

• Chuck roast, sliced into cubes
• Fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 packet onion soup mix
• 1 can French onion soup
• 1 can beef consommé
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• Water (just a splash)
• Black pepper, to taste
• Egg noodles
• Sour cream
• Parmesan cheese

HOW TO MAKE IT:

Heat a pan and sear the cubed chuck roast until deeply browned on all sides. Don’t rush this part, that browning is where the flavor starts. Add sliced mushrooms directly to the pan, then stir in the onion soup mix. Pour in the French onion soup, beef consommé, and cream of mushroom. Add a splash of water and black pepper, then let it simmer while you cook your egg noodles. Right before serving, stir sour cream into the beef mixture until creamy. Toss in the cooked egg noodles and finish with parmesan cheese on top.

This is one of those beef stroganoff recipes that feels like a Sunday dinner, but actually fits into a busy weeknight.
