Hot Fudge Sauce

by Ree | The Pioneer Woman


Hot Fudge Sauce
Prep: 5 Minutes Level: Easy
Cook: 10 Minutes Serves: 8

Ingredients
1 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Heavy Cream
1 stick Salted Butter, Cut Into Pieces
3 Tablespoons Vanilla

Preparation

In a medium saucepan, gently whisk together the cocoa powder and sugar. 

Whisk in the cream, then turn the heat to medium and whisk it as it warms up. 

When the mixture starts to heat up, add the butter and stir it in to melt. 

Then when the mixture is nice and hot, add the vanilla and stir it to combine. 

Let the sauce cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a mason jar. 

Store it in the fridge (it will become solid as it cools).

To serve, scoop out the amount you need and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. 

Heat it for 20 seconds, then stir and heat for another 10 or until the sauce is warm.

I found that at Pioneer Woman Cooks so you KNOW it's good!  

Chicken Baked Steak

Chicken Baked Steak

2 lb eye of round roast, trimmed of all fat (I use cube steaks which are round steak triple tenderized)

1 c flour

1 ½ tsp onion powder

1 ½ tsp granulated garlic

1 ½ tsp cumin (I added this)

Salt and pepper

3 egg whites (or ¾ c egg beaters)

2/3 c skim milk

1 c defatted beef broth



1. Slice the roast into ½” thick slices. Pound to tenderize until each is about ¼” thick. In a large ziplock bag or pie pan, combine flour, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp granulated garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well.

2. Combine the egg whites, skim milk and remaining onion powder, granulated garlic and additional salt and pepper in small bowl. One piece at a time, dredge the meat in flour mixture.

3. Dip in the milk mixture. Dredge again in the seasoned flour. Place on foil-covered cookie sheet.

4. Pour the beef broth into a clean spray bottle and spray the steaks until completely covered with broth. Place the cookie sheet in the oven and backe for 20 in or until brown and crispy. Serve immediately.



MY NOTES: I double dredge the steaks for a nice thick coating so double the coating items. Also, I make a couple of pans of this so that I can freeze them and reheat later. They are really good reheated with Pepper Cream Gravy. Yummers!
