In a cooking rut? Try one of these taste-tested, family-approved recipes using ground beef.

This brittle is almost as easy to make as it is to enjoy, with sugar and peanuts coming together in a sweet symphony of simplicity. The only tough part is waiting for it to cool.
3 cups white sugar
2 cups regular or Spanish peanuts
Grease a cookie sheet and set aside.
Heat a very heavy saucepan over low heat. Add the sugar and cook, stirring slowly but constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and turns a light caramel color.
Stir in the peanuts and immediately pour the candy mixture onto the prepared cookie sheet. Spread the brittle out with a greased spatula if necessary.
Let the brittle cool completely then break it into pieces. Store in an airtight container.

Getting the sugar just right takes a little practice and constant watching but the recipe is quite good. I sprinkle the warm brittle with a little fleur de sel.
