Meatloaf with Onion Gravy

/

When we're hungry for a change from my traditional meatloaf, I make this gravy-covered meatloaf and baked potatoes.

1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 cup bread crumbs or crushed crackers
1 small onion, chopped
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup catsup
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper

GRAVY
2 cups water
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
4 to 6 tbsp. flour
1 cup water.

1. In a large bowl, combine beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, milk, catsup, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper; mix thoroughly. In a shallow baking pan, shape into loaf. Bake at 350º for 1 hour, draining off fat half way through cooking.

2. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil; stir in soup mix. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Combine flour with 1 cup water and gradually stir into soup. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Serve with meatloaf. Yield: 6 servings.

Pepper Steak for Crockpot

/

1 lb. round steak, sliced thin (see note)
3 Tbl. soy sauce
½ tsp. ground ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
½ tsp. crushed red pepper
1 green pepper, thinly sliced
4 oz. can of sliced mushrooms, drained, or 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 onion, thinly sliced
Put steak, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and red pepper in quart sized freezer bag. Freeze flat.

To cook, thaw steak mixture overnight in refrigerator. Place in crockpot and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours. One hour before serving, turn crockpot up to HIGH and add green pepper,mushrooms, and onions. Stir once and cook for the remaining hour. Serve over cooked rice.(Adapted from the Fix It and Forget It cookbook)

Pork with Apples and Dressing

/

Pork with Apples and Dressing

3-4 pork chops, boneless, about 3/4 inch or thicker
1 can apple pie filling *
1 box pork or sage stuffing mix
oil
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 350. Spread the pie filling in the bottom of a casserole dish. In a saucepan, over medium-high, heat about 2 tbsp oil. Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops. Brown both sides in oil, do not cook all the way through. While pork is browning, prepare the stuffing according to package directions. Lay the pork chops on top of the apples, spread the stuffing over the top of the porkchops.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 for about 30-45 minutes, depending on the thickness of your porkchops.

* I highly recommend Lucky Leaf brand pie filling. Out of all the ones I have tried, that one turned out the best. The apples are not mushy, and there isn’t more filling than apples. It is not quite as sweet as some either.
