I love taking wings or chicken parts and just dousing them with equal parts oil, terriyaki and baking until all of the liquid is absorbed and chicken skin is browned and crispy. ************************************************** ************************************************** ********* French Onion Soup Augratin
2 large onions, sliced thinly
2 cans Campbell's Beef Broth
2 pieces sliced French, toasted
Sliced or shredded cheese (mozzarella, or Provolone)
Take your onions and saute them in some butter or margarine until they are translucent and have "sweated" out their juices. (Basically cook them to death, but don't brown them! )
Then open the Beef Broth and put it in a large saucepan and add the onions to the saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until heated through.
Take your toasted bread and place them in your serving bowl with the cheese on top. Then divide your soup between the bowls and serve.
Serves 2. ************************************************** ************************************************** ******** For dinner sometimes I take a large roast and put it in the crockpot and pour a large jar of spaghetti sauce overtop and add a few spices like italian seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper and cook it all day. Turns out like a swiss steak almost. Sometimes we eat it on rolls like barbeque and sometimes we eat it just on a plate like swiss steak. Since it simmers in the sauce all day, its fork tender. Really good! ************************************************** ************************************************** ********* I make a 4 ingredient sheperds pie that probably isn't truly sheperds pie, but that's what mom always called it.
1lb ground beef
1 package fresh mashed potatoes from the refrigerated case
1 can corn
1-2 cups shredded cheddar
Flatten ground beef into bottom of 8x8 square baking dish. Bake at 350 til done thru. Drain.
Top with entire package of mashed potatoes, then top that with entire can of drained corn. Put back in the oven til heated thru.
Top with 1-2 cups shredded cheddar (I use the whole 2 cup package - if you're not into cheese you can get away with one cup). Slide back in the oven til entirely melted.
Cool, cut, and serve. Makes 4 good sized portions. ************************************************** ************************************************** ********* . I take a package of chicken parts or even just drumsticks, put them in the crockpot and pour a bottle of barbecue sauce over it, and cook on low all day. Everyone RAVES about how good it is - even my picky FIL! Takes all of about 2 minutes in the AM to get ready - my kind of meal!! ************************************************** ************************************************** *** 'Hamburger Crumble' like sloppy joes
1 lb hamburger browned with some diced onions, drain, add ketchup, dry mustard and sour cream. Mix well. Serve over rice, slice of bread or on hamburger rolls. ************************************************** ************************************************** ******* BBQ's (or made rights, sloppy joes, loose meat sandwiches-I'm sure there are other names for these) Brown hamburger with onion. Drain grease and mix in ketchup until right consistency for BBQ's. ************************************************** ************************************************** ****
Hamburger Casserole:
Lightly pat 1 to 1 1/2 lbs of ground chuck in bottom of casserole dish. sprinkle on some chopped onions, layer of sliced potatoes, layer of veggies ( sometimes I use mixed veggies or corn or green beans, use what your family likes ) and top with a can or two of Campbells Tomato Soup. You can adjust the amounts of ingredients, more or less potatoes, veggies, meat. Bake 350 for l 1/2 hrs. maybe more. Stick with sharp knife to see if potatoes are done. ************************************************** ************************************************** ******* I buy cubed steaks and put them in the crock pot with stewed tomatoes over them. Simple and even my very picky son loves this. ************************************************** ************************************************** ***** Take 1 pound of boneless chicken breast and slice into 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices. Brown in a nonstick pan with 1 TBSP of olive oil. Add a 16 oz. jar of your favorite salsa. Cover and cook until the chicken is cooked (about 15 minutes). Serve in tortillas with lettuce, diced tomato, sour cream or any of your favorite toppings. Can also be served over rice. Just remember, when the salsa cooks cooks down, it gets hotter, so if you don't like really spicy food, buy a mild salsa. I use hot, because I really like hot food. ************************************************** ************************************************ Balsamic Pork Chops
8 boneless pork chops, about 3/4-inch thick
12 ounces balsamic vinaigrette dressing
Place chops in a large resealable bag; pour vinaigrette dressing over. Seal bag and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours.
Prepare medium-hot grill. Remove chops from marinade and pat dry. Discard remaining marinade. Grill chops directly over heat for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning once. Serve desired number of chops for dinner.
Wrap and refrigerate remaining chops for up to 3 days.

This recipe is part of the Cook Once, Eat Twice series. Leftovers can be used to make Stovetop Calzone (which can be found in the HEB Recipe Library under Meat--Pork--Ribs and Chops), ************************************************** ************************************************** ******** my son does not like sloppy joe mix so I take the cooked hamburger and add a can of tomato soup to the hamburger and he just lives it.
I also cook macaroni and add cooked hamburger and then add a can or 2 of tomato soup and stir it up, the kids love this also and it is so easy.
They also love just having cooked hamburger on a piece of bread with just ketchup, folded into a sandwich ************************************************** ************************************************** ******** THis is so easy and really tasty. Got it from Cooking Light Magazine:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 cup greated parmesan cheese
Mix the cheese, wine and broth together. Place chicken in a pyrex dish, pour liquid mixture over chicken. Bake covered at 350* for 45 minutes and for an additional 15 minutes uncovered. ************************************************** ************************************************** ****** My favorite chicken recipe and I ALWAYS get asked for the recipe.
Preheat your oven to 500.
Wash and dry a whole chicken (I usually use about a 4 pound chicken), after removing the stuff in the cavity. Rub inside and out with sea salt.
Turn down the oven to 425 and cook the chicken until the juices run clear (usually about an hour and 15 minutes). I usually cook mine in a cast iron skillet. If you don't use too much salt, you can use the juices for a gravy and you don't have to dirty another pan.
This chicken comes out unbelievably tender inside and brown and crispy on the outside. ************************************************** ************************************************** *
