I've forced myself to get back into the habit of planning our menu for the week. It sure helps with preparation and it helps me clear the freezer and shelves.
This weeks menu.......
Sunday - Short ribs with barbeque sauce, rice(make extra for Tuesday), beets, peas and cottage cheese
Monday - Low Country Pork Chops with potatoes, gravy and corn
baked whole wheat bread
Tuesday - Cherokee Casserole
baked brownies
Wednesday - leftovers or FFYS (fend for yourself)
Thursday - Baked Ziti (from the freezer)
Friday - Cowboy Beans, cornbread
Saturday -
Sunday - Roasted chicken, potatoes, corn
(as always applesauce with meals)
Cherokee Casserole
1 green pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 pound hamburger
1 Tab. chili powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
minced garlic (to taste)
1/4 tsp. season salt
pepper
3 cups tomato juice
3 cups cooked rice
2 cups cheese
Brown meat with onions and peppers. Drain. Add remaining ingredients except cheese. Mix well and then add 1/2 of the cheese, pour into 3 quart greased baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until cheese melts and everything is nice and hot.
***We like this meal. This uses hamburger and peppers from our freezer, tomato juice and onions from our pantry - all from our farm. I've used our own cheese, too. We prefer cheddar cheese though, and I don't make that - yet. I've also cooked this stove top and we just added the cheese to our own plate. Any leftovers make for a yummy lunch the next day.
