None for the cookies handy, but here are some good ones for dinner.
Golden Mushroom Pork and Apples
Prep 10 mins (cook time can be 4-5 or 8-9 depending on cooking in slow cooker low or high)
Makes 8 servings
2 10 ¾ oz cans of Campbell’s Golden Mushroom Soup (I have used Cream of Mushroom too)
½ cup water
1 tbsp packed brown sugar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried thyme leaves
8 boneless prk chops ¾ inch thick (or pork loins)
4 large Granny Smith Apples
2 large sliced onions
Stir water, soup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and thyme into a 3 ½ qt slow cooker. Add pork, apples and onions. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hrs or on high for 4-5, or until pork is cooked through.
I serve over rice, but a risotto or couscous could be nice too
Italian Meatloaf
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup milk
2 lb. ground beef
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce or ketchup, divided
3/4 cup finely chopped celery
1 envelope GOOD SEASONS Italian Salad Dressing & Recipe Mix
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Mix bread crumbs and milk in large bowl. Add meat, half of the tomato sauce and the remaining ingredients; mix until well blended.
SHAPE meat mixture into oval loaf in shallow baking pan.
BAKE 1 hour. Spoon remaining tomato sauce over meatloaf. Bake an additional 20 minutes or until meatloaf is cooked through.
Tater Tot Casserole
1 ½- 2lbs ground beef
½ onion chopped (optional)
4 cups frozen mixed veggies
1 can cream of beef or mushroom soup
1 32 oz package of frozen potato rounds (I actually prefer tater tots to the thinner rounds)
1 ½ cups shredded cheese (this wasn’t in original recipe but I added per family request). I use cheddar or Colby Jack.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 9x13 dish with non stick spray. Spread uncooked hamburger into bottom of pan. Sprinkle with diced onions. Next layer frozen veggies and cover with the soup, spreading over entire dish. Add shredded cheese if desired. Layer tater tots on top, again, covering entire dish. Bake at 375 for 1 hr or until hamburger is done. Check after 30 minutes. If tots getting too brown, cook at 350 degrees.
Herbed Roasted Potatoes
2 tbsp butter or margarine
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
½ tsp fresh grated lemon peel
½ tsp salt
1/8 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 ½ lbs small red potatoes, cut in half (or in quarters if you can’t find small ones)
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In 3 qt saucepan, melt butter with parsley , lemon peel, salt and pepper over medium heat; add potatoes and toss well to coat.
Place potato mixture in center of 24 x18 sheet of heavy duty tin foil. Fold edges over and pinch to seal tightly.
Place package in jelly roll pan and bake until potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife (through the foil), about 30 minutes (can take longer I’ve found if the potatoes are larger)
