Meal Planning Monday.... on Wednesday...

I know that it is Wednesday, not Monday today. I really have no excuse for being two days late. My only excuse is that... well... I forgot. So here goes.

My meal list for this week includes:

Cornbread casserole (never got to it last week)
Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup -using canned tomatoes from last fall
Peach Crisp -using canned peaches
Steak'n Onions, with a side of mashed potatoes
Beef and Veggie soup

The rest will be filled in with leftovers and either cold cereal or oatmeal.

Here is the cornbread casserole recipe that I told you I would post.
Cornbread Casserole recipe:
Ingredients:
1 lb hamburger
1 medium sized onion
1 pint salsa
Other veggies go well in it depending on your taste , I have used corn or broccoli

One batch mixed up of cornbread:
1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup corn meal
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 cup milk
1/4 cup oil
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp baking powder

I usually use my Dutch oven to make this to save on dirty pots, pans, and casserole dishes. First, fry the hamburger and onion in the dutch oven. Then add your miscellaneous vegetables, if the vegetables are raw, I suggest sauteing them before the meat. If they are frozen you can add them when the meat is halfway cooked. When the meat is cooked through, dump the pint of salsa into the mixture. Mix. Next, pour your cornbread dough over the top of the meat mixture and bake in the oven uncovered at 350 degrees for 1/2 an hour.

It may not look like much, but there is a reason that it was over half gone before I got a picture of it. It is freakin' delicious!

Cheese Potato Egg Breakfast Pie

One morning I had a lonely pie crust sitting in my freezer. I thought to myself "This must be used!!" (Mostly because we had 3/4 of a cow to go into our chest freezer in meat form. But also because I was really hungry. ) So I dug through my fridge and freezer and came up with Cheese Potato Egg Breakfast Pie. It consisted of

1/2 a bag of Bob Evans Breakfast Potatoes
3 Eggs
a handful  of frozen cauliflower
1/4 cup cheddar cheese
1/4 cup of velveeta stye melty cheese
a couple of spoonfuls of cream cheese
salt
pepper
herbs of choice

mix the eggs, cauliflower, salt, pepper, and herbs. Put potatoes in pie crust, pour egg mix over potatoes, cover with cheese and throw the slabs of cream cheese on top. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until eggs are done. Yum. I usually just cook by eye and handfuls so do what works best for you.
