The holidays are here and I am super excited. I love hosting guests in our home and shop ahead to make sure I have everything on hand to make easy holiday recipes to feed a crowd. One of my favorite holiday recipes to make for guests is a classic Cuban Picadillo.

Picadillo is a rich, tomato-based ground beef dish that is easy to make and can feed a crowd. When you make tomato-based dishes like picadillo for guests, I do suggest you have some Nexium® 24HR on hand to help treat heartburn. Just one pill a day provides all -day and all-night relief from frequent heartburn. No one wants guests to feel uncomfortable so being prepared is always key to hosting!

Picadillo is also very versatile. Once I make it, I service it with white rice and beans. I always make enough for leftovers which can then be used in empanadas, burritos or in a sandwich!!
