Chicken Vegetable Bake

"

This was SO good!!" 4-6 raw chicken breasts, new potatoes, green beans (fresh or canned-really any green veggie would work. Broccoli is good, too). Arrange in 9x13 dish. Sprinkle with a packet of Italian dressing mix* and then top with a melted stick of butter. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 1 houror until potatoes are done and chicken juices run clear.
* I was out of Italian dressing mix, so I used Caesar dressing mix.It worked just fine and tasted really good. I added a little chicken broth too.

Enjoy.

Pot Roast Meatloaf

Raw Ground beef (Photo credit: Wikipedia)In my continuous search for new and different meat loaf recipes, here is one I made last night. It had really good taste and texture and with the vegetables cooked with it I had a complete meal.




Remember when you went camping and made the foil packets of ground beef, carrots, potatoes, onions and butter that you sealed well and cooked right in the campfire? Well this is very similar.







Pot Roast Meat Loaf

1 pound lean ground beef
1 (5 ounce can) evaporated milk
2/3 cup finely crushed Ritz crackers
1/4 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 grind or two black pepper
2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
3 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
3 medium onions, thinly sliced
3 medium carrots, sliced
1 teaspoon salt
Butter or Margarine

Combine the first seven (7) ingredients. Lightly mix and shape into a loaf. Place in a greased 9-inch x 13-inch x 2-inch baking pan. Place sliced vegetables in layers, around the meat loaf. Sprinkle with parsley flakes and salt. Dot vegetables with butter or margarine. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees for 1 hour, or until vegetables are tender. Remove foil and bake 10 minutes longer.

Make Ahead Meatloaf

Image via WikipediaI found this recipe on the Internet awhile ago and just got around to making it.  It was very good.

Make Ahead Meatloaf has a secret ingredient that adds alot of moisture and flavor. It's Bratwurst.


Make Ahead Meatloaf
2 teaspoons oil
1 onion, chopped fine
3 cloves garlic, minced
28 saltine crackers
1 pound ground beef 80/20
3/4 pound bratwurst, uncooked, casings removed
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 eggs + 1 egg yolk
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Glaze
1/2 cup ketchup
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 Tablespoon cider vinegar

Heat oil in skillet. Add onion and cook until browned. Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
Process saltines in food processor or put in a plastic bag and crush them and transfer to bowl with onion mixture.
Add beef and bratwurst to the bowl along with the remaining ingredients and gingerly knead until combined. Press mixture into 2 disposable 8” loaf pans.

Place plastic wrap on the top of the meat and around the pan. Wrap a second time with aluminum foil. Label pans and freeze for up to 1 month.

When ready to bake, defrost completely. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Unwrap loaf pans and place on a baking sheet.

Meanwhile, whisk together glaze ingredients in a small bowl and top the meatloaves with the glaze. Bake in preheated oven for 55 minutes to 1 hour or until the internal temperature of the meatloaves reaches 150 degrees. (Use a probe or meat thermometer.)
Remove meatloaves from oven and let rest 20 minutes before serving. Cut the meatloaves into slices and carefully remove from the pan and serve.
