Cajun Dirty Rice, Ernie's submitted by Dtz
Cook Rice seperately from the dirt. LOL
Saute in a large pot (preferably cast iron):
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb spicy (hot)breakfast sausage OR 1 lb. of ground calf liver (if you use calf liver, you will need more seasoning than with the breakfast sausage)
1 onion diced
1 bell pepper diced
2 cloves of garlic minced
Salt to taste
Season with red and black pepper after all is cooked (if you want it spicier)

Saute until all meat is browned and vegies are soft. Mix with cooked rice. Voila...dirty rice. BTW...this is also delicious stuffed in blanched bell peppers with a little tomato sauce and cheddar cheese on top! Footnote...if you put in the black and red pepper early...it will get progressively hotter the longer it is on the fire. Add it last, if you are going to use it at all!

Cook 2 cups of raw rice and add to meat mixture when done. Forgot to mention, you'll want to break up the chicken liver. You don't want whole livers

Chili, BASIC - submitted by mkcheri
canned crushed tomatoes
canned kidney beans (I prefer them drained)
ground beef
onion
chili powder
dash of garlic powder
I usually do 1 large can of crushed tomatoes to one can of beans. Usually less beans - or more crushed tomatoes. And since dh likes it "hearty" I do 1-2 lbs ground beef. Always have mine with cheddar cheese.

Chili, Kim's submitted by KKM
1 lb ground round
onion-I use dehydrated, or fresh...as much as you like(onion powder if your out of both)
jalepeno's- I add 2-5 slices from the jar I have in the fridge. This does not make it hot, just gives it a good flavor.

Cook the above all together and drain

Add the following to the above
1 28oz can of crushed tomatoes
4 cans of mexican style chili beans (with gravy)
half a packet of chili seasoning. I use generic.

Simmer for atleast 30 minutes.
I serve mine as a upside down frito chili pie cause I hate soggy chips. Chili, mexican syle shredded cheese, a little sour cream, and then the fritos.

Golabki (Cabbage Roll-Ups) submitted by MzCat
1 large head of cabbage,center core removed
1 lb.each of ground beef, ground pork & ground veal
2 cups cooked white rice
1 cup chopped onion
½ cup finely chopped salt pork
1 cup ketchup 2 cans tomato soup
1&1/2 cans water
1 TBSP. brown sugar
½ tsp. each of salt, pepper
¼ tsp. each of celery salt, sweet basil, nutmeg and worchestire sauce
½ stick of butter or margarine

Parboil cabbage in a large pot, removing leafs as they fall off into the water and are tender.
Cook till all leaves are tender, but not ripping apart; usually 15.
Run under cold water and drain. Cut the thick membrane off back of each leaf.
While cabbage is cooking saute onion in butter or marg. until lightly browned.
Put all the uncooked meat into a large mixing bowl.
Add the sauted onions.
In same pan, brown the salt pork, then using a slotted spoon, add salt pork to meat. Next add dry seasonings, worchestire sauce and ketchup, along with the cooked rice.
Mix thoroughly; I find my hands work best!
Lay out leaves and depending upon their size, place 2-3 TBSPS. of meat mixture on the wider side.
Roll leaf up and over meat, tuck in sides of leaf, and continue to roll.
Place rolls, seam down into a greased roasting pan. Continue rolling remainder cabbage rolls.
Mix together the tomato soup, water and brown sugar and pour evenly over all the rolls. If your roaster doesn't have a lid, cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Bake @325 degrees for 2 - 2&1/2 hours.

Note: after baking for 1&1/2 hours, check to make sure there's enough liquid; additional water can be added.

To serve, spoon sauce over rolls. Leftover rolls (once cool) can be put into ziplock bags and frozen up to 3 months.

Grilled Steak Quesodilla submitted by KKM
I took leftover grilled steak...prolly about 1 1/2 pounds, I always grill extra. (grilled with the basics-a lil' garlic powder, seasoning salt, and tenderizer) Cut it up into thin strips, put it in a pan, added a package of taco bell taco seasoning, and ohhh about a cup and a half of water. Simmer, and add water as needed. I like a sauce, but not watered down YK? Take your flour tortilla and spray it with pam (I use generic butter flavored), spread it around so its evenly coated lightly. I use my cast iron fahita grill, but a regular skillet or griddle would work fine I'm sure. Place the tortilla on the griddle and add LOTS of mexican style shredded cheese to half of the torlilla, then put a generous scoop of the meat mixture ontop of that. I add a lil' of the sauce from the meat to give it the messiness and flavor ya need from mexican food :) Fold the tortilla in half and grill till lightly brown, then turn/flip it over and brown the other side. Cook on a medium heat, and try not to move it around to much or all the sauce will drip out. Once the second side its brown the cheese should be melted, put it on your plate with your favorite mexican side dish and enjoy.

Side dishes: Spanish rice
Refried beans with chips
Tex Mex dip with chips
tomatoes, lettuce, jalapenos, onions,extra cheese, and salsa are options as well.

Pork Chops, Pineapple submitted by Becksgirl

1/3 cup honey
2 tsp. soy sauce

whisk together, and place pork chops (tonight I'm doing 4 boneless butterfly chops) and let marinade for 30 mins to an hour! Grill. Sometimes I just use pineapple juice alone....the actual chunks fall thru the grill bars, I think they are really just in the way.

Pork Roast, Ernie's World Famous submitted by Dtz
Take a defrosted pork roast the night before, put holes in the roast and put cloves of garlic (that has been preserved with olive oil-you can find this at the store) and put into these holes. Rub down roast with a combination of spicy mustard and garlic powder and your favorite seasoning. (We use Tony Chacheres) Wrap with foil and refrigerate. In the morning, flour outside of roast and blacken on all sides in about 1/3 cup of oil. Once all sides are dark place in a slow cooker or in dutch oven. Mix in a bowl a package of onion soup mix and about 1 and 1/2 cups of water together. Pour over roast. Cover and let bake at least 3 or 4 hours on low heat.

Pork Taquitos submitted by MzCat
10 -12 Corn Tortillas
1 1/2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil
1/2 cup Onions diced
2-3 Chiles minced
1/2 lb. cooked Pork shredded
1 large Tomato peeled, seeded and chopped(or canned works too)
Guacamole for dipping
Salsa and sour cream is good too
Vegetable Oil

1. Saute onion in oil until soft. Stir in chilies and shredded pork, cook until meat is hot. Stir in tomato, cook 1 minute.
2. Brush tortillas lightly with vegetable oil. Heat in microwave or in oven. Place 1 tablespoon filling in a narrow strip 1 inch from the edge of each tortilla. Roll up tightly. Fasten in center with a wooden pick.
3. Pour oil 1/2 inch deep into a medium skillet. Oil must be hot enough for tacos to sizzle when you place them into the skillet. Fry several taquitos at a time until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Remove wooden picks.
4. Serve immediately with guacamole for dipping. Taquitos may be cut in half for easier dipping.
5. To freeze: refrigerate taquitos about 1 hour after frying. Wrap 10-12 taquitos in heavy foil or freezer wrap. Store in freezer and use within 2 months.
6. To serve frozen taquitos, remove from freezer, unwrap and place in a baking dish. Cover lightly with foil. Bake in preheated 350 degree F oven 20-30 minutes, or until heated through.

Pork Tenderloin Strips/Kabobs, Korean submitted by mkcheri
1 whole pork tenderloin
2 green onions with stems, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds 1 tablespoon sesame oil (I don't use it - less fat)
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Skewers

1. Cut the tenderloin into thin strips (about 6" x 1" x 1/8") - pork will cut easier if slightly frozen. I usually cut into cubes - about 1 ½" square. Stir together remaining ingredients to make marinade. Place pork & marinade in large resealable bag. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight (overnight gives the best flavor!)
2. Remove meat and discard marinade. Place pork on skewers (weave strips)
3. Grill over medium coals for about 5 minutes or until done on each side - do not overcook!
Yield on this one - about 4 servings. Best if served immediately.
I make HUGE batches of this one too - I marinate it for about 4 hours - then freeze in the bag. I use the huge Ziploc 2 gallon sized freezer bags.

Sausage and Taters submitted by Dtz
Saute any kind of sausage (the kind in a link) with a little oil and a handful of chopped onions. When onions are browned put peeled, cleaned potatoes (cubed) into the pot with the onions and sausage and add a cup of water. Put lid on pot and let simmer on low until potatoes are cooked.

4 tbsp. sugar
4 med. onions, chopped
2 green peppers, chopped

Sloppy Joe recipe, My Mother-in-law's submitted by mkcheri
1 lb. ground beef
3 Tbs. flour
1 cup water
1 small bottle ketchup
1 Tbs. vinegar
1 tsp. chili powder
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 small onions
1 can corned beef - to be added LAST

Brown the ground beef, drain if necessary. Add remaining ingredients one by one, stirring well after each addition. Crumble corned beef and add last. This can easily be multiplied for larger groups. Although I only only use ½ the amount called for on the multiplied corned beef. I tend to make 4-6 times what this recipe makes and freeze large quantities. Oh - I don't multiply the onions as much either.

Smothered Pork Chops or Beef Tips submitted by Dtz
Ingredients:
Pork chops or Beef cut in cubes

1 Cup of chopped Onions
1 Cup of chopped Celery
2 Cloves of Garlic (minced)
1 can of Mushrooms (drained) 1 Can Cream of Celery Soup
1 Can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 Can of water
Rice

I even use them on meat to make homemade vegetable beef soup and on ground beef for spaghetti!:::

Speghetti, Grandma's submitted by litmama
2 to 3 pounds ground round--you can use hamburger, chuck or sirloin too
1 large (I think the can is about 28 ounces) can of diced tomatoes
1 large (about 28 ounces) can of tomato sauce
2 or 3 cans (12 ounces) tomato paste plus 1 can of water per can of paste
3 teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper
oregano
2 or 3 bay leaves
basil
parsley
garlic powder (NOT garlic SALT)
onion
sugar-- used to take away the bitterness
parmesan cheese-- just a little sprinkle for flavor

Brown beef in a big pot (drain if necessary) add the onion, salt, pepper. After beef is cooked add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, paste and water. Stir. Then add all the other spices. Stir and cover. Let simmer on low heat for a couple of hours stirring occasionally. ********* for the spices my Grandma never measured and thats how I learned to cook...I season according to taste but I think the amounts work out to be 1.5 tablespoons except the parsley is slightly more.

Speghetti Sauce submitted by mkcheri
1 of those HUGE cans of tomato sauce (like from GFS or Sam's)
2 large cans diced tomatoes (Contadina Italian seasoned ones if you can find them)
2 large cans tomato paste (like the sauce to be really thick - Contadina also has Italian seasoned paste)
3 lbs. ground beef (browned, drained and rinsed)
2-3 tablespoons dried parsley
1 tbs oregano
1 tbs italian seasoning
1-2 cloves garlic - pressed (do be careful if using fresh garlic - its much stronger than garlic powder)
1 small onion chopped - if I'm in a hurry I add the onion to the gr. beef to simmer a few minutes before I add them to the sauce

I put all in the crock pot and cook at least 4-5 hours. All this talk of spaghetti makes me hungry for it....think that's what we'll be having tonight! This makes enough for me to take some to a friend (they get at least 2 meals from what I bring them) and I freeze some - we usually get 3 meals from it.
