Hungry? This is the thread for you!

Of course. But that was last night's meal. Tonight it was open-faced roast beef sandwiches with potatoes. :)

My apologies, but there's just no way to make that dish look good in pictures. :o
 
Spicy Cajun Cabbage

A big "Thank You" to Dixie for posting this recipe! I tried it the other night, and it tasted as good as it looks! This one's been copied and printed, and I'll definitely be making it again! Now to try Joes Cajun Bean Soup! :D
 
Glad to hear it Misty. I love it when a recipe is enjoyed by others. Let us know how the soup turns out please. That sounds like one my husband might enjoy.

I'm trying a new cake recipe for the Super Bowl munchies tomorrow, so if it turns out good, I'll post it.
 
Crockpot Roast and Veggies

potroast.jpg


No real recipe used here. Just put a chuck roast in the crockpot, liberally shake on Worcestershire Sauce, then liberally apply Lawry's Seasoned Salt. Add enough water to almost cover the meat, and cook on low 8-10 hours. About 5 hours into it I toss in a few cans of new potatoes and a few cans of sliced carrots. You can always use fresh, but I'm the shortcut queen.


My wife uses a can of french onion soup and adds onions to the veggies. Can't beleive how this improves the flavor. Although the first step in preperation is when first prepping the roast you start by first putting it in a cast itron frying pan with water and letting it dry down and sear to pan on both sides then transfer to crock pot to finish.

Blackberry Wine Cake

Cake:
1/2 cup nuts, chopped
18 ounces white cake mix
3 ounces box blackberry Jello
4 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup blackberry wine

Glaze
2 - 2 ½ cups powdered sugar (divided)
1/2 cup blackberry wine
1/2 cup butter

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a Bundt pan; sprinkle the nuts in the bottom of the pan.

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, Jello, eggs, oil and wine. Beat at low speed for 2 minutes. Pour in the Bundt pan and bake for 45-50 minutes.

Bring 1 cup powdered sugar, wine and butter to a boil; the glaze will be fairly thin. While the cake is still warm and in the Bundt pan, poke holes in the top with a large fork at about 1" intervals. Pour half of the glaze on the cake. Let the cake sit for 30 minutes to absorb the glaze.

Turn the cake out of the pan and completely cool.

Thicken the remaining half of the glaze with additional powdered sugar (approx. 1 - 1 ½ cups, depending on how thick you want it) and drizzle over the cake.

NOTE: The chopped nuts are optional, but they really do add to the flavor of the cake.

TNDIXIEGIRL,

My mother made your first recipe (4 layer delight) with pistachio pudding instead of chocolate. Very yummy, I'm going to have to try it with chocolate. We always referred to it as "green goop" as kids. Very yummy.

Dixie's Meat Loaf

2 pounds ground beef
1 box Stove Top Stuffing (I use Chicken flavor, but I think any flavor would work)
1/2 cup water
2 eggs
2 jars Pepperidge Farm Brown Gravy

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, stuffing mix, water, eggs and 1/2 cup brown gravy. Mix very well.

Form the meat mixture into a loaf and place in a greased 13"x9" pan. Pour another cup or so of the gravy on top. Bake at 350 for 1-1/2 hours. Remove from oven and soak up any grease in bottom of pan with white bread slices. Pour remaining gravy on top of meat loaf and return to oven for another 15-20 minutes.

Serve with mashed potatoes.
 
I've been hankering for some pulled pork sammiches but the weather hasn't been much for outdoor grilling so I made some BBQ from a pork butt in the cast iron.

Thanks TNDixieGirl for the great recipes. So far we've had the chili and the chicken & dumplings. We're going to try them all with the meatloaf being next. Thanks again
 
That meat loaf recipe makes a huge amount, so you may want to 1/2 it if you don't care for leftovers. My family of 3 ate on it for 2-3 days before we finally finished it. :) But it was goooooood, and we like leftovers! :D
