Since everyone has different tastes of what they’d like on their dinner table, I decided to include several different types of recipes. Today I will focus on chicken, beef and pork.
Tomorrow you will find some side dishes that can be made ahead and frozen, as well as pastas and desserts.
Enjoy!
Cheesy Hamburger Casserole
Serves: 8
- 2 pounds hamburger
- 3 cups shredded,frozen hash browns
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 small onion
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- salt and pepper — to taste
Brown hamburger and onion. Drain. Add soup to meat mixture. Place hash
browns in 13 x 9″ greased pan. Sprinkle cheese over potatoes. Top with
meat mixture. Bake at 375* for 1 hour.
To FREEZE: Assemble as usual (before baking). Wrap/bag and freeze.
To SERVE: Thaw in fridge overnight. Bake as usual, adding 10 min. or so
to total baking time. You can also add some water (1/8 cup) to edges
before baking, if it looks a little dry.
Herbed Sirloin
Serves: 4
- 2 pounds top sirloin steak — boneless, 1 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 small onion — sliced
- 2 cups mushroom — fresh, sliced
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 2 teaspoons Dijon style mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme — dried
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Cut steak into four serving-size pieces; brown in a large skillet in oil
for 5 minutes on each side. Add onion and mushrooms. Cook until
vegetables are tender and the meat has reached desired cooking temperature, stirring occasionally. Remove meat to a platter and keep warm. Combine the broth, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, thyme and garlic powder, stir into vegetables. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 2-3 minutes. Spoon over meat.
This recipe can be followed completely and then frozen. To serve, just
heat through. I have even put it in a large skillet right from the
freezer, covered it and heated on low until thawed. Then turn up the
heat until done.
Korean Beef
- 3 pounds steak or boneless roast
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 cups soy sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup green onion — chopped
- 3 cloves garlic — crushed
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Cut meat into 2 inch trips. Toast the sesame seeds in the oven at 400
degrees until brown; about 2-3 minutes. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and marinate overnight. Remove meat from marinate and grill. Can freeze in marinade then thaw and cook when ready to use.
