Sloppy Joes Cooking Light, JANUARY 2004 YUM! That's all I can say about this recipe. These were YUM-MY! The sauce was just sweet and tart enough, the veggies made it healthy, and we used the newly found whole wheat potato rolls. It made for a DELISH lunch the next day, too. DEFINITELY on the make again list!! Knife Cutting board Measuring cups and spoons Non-stick skillet Wooden spoon … [Read more...]
Oven-Roasted Beef Brisket
Oven-Roasted Beef Brisket Tom Perini I can't tell you how much I LOVE this recipe. I DO NOT serve the sauce, as I think it's too salty by the time the meat is cooked. By braising the brisket with beef broth, it makes it nice and juicy and just falls apart when you slice it. It's making me HONGRY just thinking about it. 2 tablespoons chili powder 2 tablespoons salt 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon onion powder 1 tablespoon ground black pepper 1 tablespoon sugar 2 teaspoons dry … [Read more...]
Home-Style Meat Loaf
Home-Style Meat Loaf Cooking Light, MARCH 1998 I love this recipe. I shape it in a loaf pan, and then put it on a roasting rack covered in aluminum foil to get rid of some of the grease that comes out. The ketchup glaze is deliscious, too!! I always grate the onion and garlic so there's no chunks, but you get the flavor throughout the meatloaf. I do the same with meatballs, too. How can you screw up meatloaf??

Superfast Salisbury Steak
Click here for recipe Cooking Light, JANUARY 2001 This recipe tasted weird. I don't know if the was the beef or what, but it did just taste strange. We used beef instead of turkey, which I'm weaning CTM from the whole ground poulty tastes gross thing. It's working after last night! Yipee!! We also used some french onion soup we had in the fridge from the previous week, but that shouldn't make THAT much difference. I don't know that I would make this recipe again. It really did just taste … [Read more...]
Beef Stroganoff
Beef Stroganoff Cooking Light, APRIL 2007 How can you go wrong with Beef Stroganoff?? You can't really. This was deliscious as usual. Made a bit of a mess with the pots, but it was worth it. This is already on my Make Again list. Knife Cutting Board Measuring cups and spoons Large saute pan Medium pot … [Read more...]
Spaghetti and Meatballs
Spaghetti and Meatballs Cooking Light, OCTOBER 2003 So, I cheated and bought jar sauce. I think we used Classico Sweet Basil or something like that. I didn't bake the meatballs, but sauteed them in a pan, but I did put them in the sauce to continue cooking while the water for the spaghetti boiled. *snort* I'm such a recipe massochist!! The meatballs were DELICIOUS, though. They were probably the best meatballs I've ever made aside from my chicken ones, which I should post some time. I also … [Read more...]
Beef Daube Provençal
Beef Daube Provençal Cooking Light, SEPTEMBER 2007 So, I'm not really making this per the directions. I did put it in my slow cooker, but then I added about 2 cups of baby bella mushrooms, used dried thyme instead of fresh, added 4 cups of water to cover the veggies in the cooker, and added about 2 T quick cooking tapioca to thicken it. It needed more than that to thicken it. I only had whole wheat flour on hand and didn't think you could make a slurry out of THAT for stew. It was … [Read more...]
Beef Goulash
Beef Goulash Cooking Light, MARCH 2006 We made this recipe last night. We didn't follow the directions to a T because, seriously, 2+ hours?? I don't think so. I think it's something I would convert to a slow cooked recipe, though. So, we followed the directions to the point where you cook the stew WITHOUT the potatoes. We skipped that step and added the potatoes right away and simmered it for 1 1/2 hours. Granted the meat probably wasn't as tender as it would have been if we followed the … [Read more...]
