Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 green bell peppers, chopped
- 1 can Ro-Tel tomatoes with green chilies (14.5 ounces)
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 6 venison steaks or pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Baking Dish: Line a 13×9 inch casserole dish with aluminum foil, making sure the foil is large enough to fold over and seal tightly after the food is arranged. This will help to keep all the flavors and juices contained during cooking.
-
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
-
Prepare the Foil: Spread the center of the foil with butter, creating a thin layer that will prevent sticking and add flavor to the dish.
-
Arrange the Meat: Cut the venison steaks or pork chops into individual serving portions. Place them in the center of the prepared foil, slightly overlapping them if necessary.
-
Season the Meat: Sprinkle the meat with salt, black pepper, and any additional seasonings you prefer. Top with chopped green bell peppers and diced tomatoes for added flavor and texture.
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the Ro-Tel tomatoes with green chilies, the reserved tomato juice from the can, and cornstarch. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
-
Combine Ingredients: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the meat and vegetables, making sure everything is well coated.
-
Seal the Foil: Bring the edges of the foil up over the meat and vegetables, then double fold the edges to seal tightly. This will trap the moisture and flavors inside, creating a flavorful, tender dish.
-
Bake: Place the foil-wrapped casserole dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
-
Finish and Serve: After baking, carefully roll back the foil and sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley. This adds a burst of color and freshness to the dish.
Serve this Spicy Swiss Bliss with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or a crisp green salad, for a well-rounded, satisfying meal. Enjoy the blend of spicy, savory, and sweet flavors in every bite! 🌟🍴
