In the same skillet, lower heat to medium and add garlic. Sauté for a minute or two. Pour in heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, capers, and spinach. Bring to a simmer, stir, then return chicken to skillet.

Spread out sweet potato fries on a baking sheet or sheet pan. The more spread out they are, the crispier they’ll get. Follow the instructions on the package for temperature and cook time. Cook on bottom rack and flip fries halfway through cook time. When fries are at their desired doneness, pull baking sheet out of the oven.
Push fries a bit closer together. Evenly spread black beans and corn on top, then sprinkle with cumin, paprika, and garlic powder. Top with pulled pork (or alternative meat option) and cheddar cheese. Switch oven to the broil setting and move pan to the oven’s top rack. Broil 2 to 5 minutes until pulled pork is heated through, watching carefully so the cheese doesn’t burn.
Remove from oven; top with avocado slices, sour cream, scallions, and cilantro. Serve immediately.

Melt butter in a large pot or skillet over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms and onion, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and browned, about 10 to 15 minutes. Onions should be golden brown and beginning to caramelize.
Add ground beef and break up the pieces as it browns, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and egg noodles. Cover and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until pasta is cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring once or twice. If liquid begins to evaporate before the pasta is cooked, add more water or beef stock.
Stir in sour cream and cook another minute until heated through. Garnish with parsley (optional) and serve hot.
