This is a easy recipe that has become a staple at our house.
Michelle's Taco Meat
Chuck Roast - shredded
One chopped onion
Taco seasoning mix - I like Ortega low salt
Canned chopped green chilies
Water - 1.5 cups
Directions -
Use a Dutch Oven and spray it lightly with canola/veggie oil. Place the onion in the bottom of the pan and put the roast on top of the onions. Pour the taco seasoning and chilies over the roast. Add the water to the bottom of the pan - don't pour it over the roast. Cook covered in a oven heated to 200 degree for 8 hours. If you have less time you can cook at 300 degrees for 5 hours. You can turn the roast once or twice but if you forget to do that it still turns out great!
Thank you Michelle Davis!!!!
I was searching for something to feed the boys for dinner after football and came up with this quick dinner.
Cooked chicken tossed with a bit of BBQ sauce
Cooked brown rice
2 cups Cooked Corn (cut it off the cob or heat frozen corn)
1 can Black beans heated
BBQ Sauce
Green onion
We started with rice in the bottom of the bowl then added the chicken, corn, and black beans. You can add more BBQ sauce or hot sauce to give it more flavor and garnish with green onion. Yum. I had happy fed kids and husband.
My family's favorite Sloppy Joe’s is in the classic Betty Crocker Cookbook. Yup, the old time classic red book. Sub out the green pepper for a red one – they taste better. Serve on whole wheat buns w/ a salad on the side. We sometimes use turkey instead of beef.
*Recipe courtesy of Betty Crocker:
1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium onion chopped (1/2 cup)
1/3 cup copped celery stalk
1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon red pepper sauce
6 hamburger buns, split and toasted
1. Cook beef and onion in a large skillet over medium high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned; drain. Stir in remaining ingredients (except the buns, of course).
2. Cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Fill buns and enjoy!
