Make My Menu Monday

 

Cook 3 times-& Eat all week!!! This is my new FAVORITE way to cook!!

Meal #1: Buffalo Chicken Casserole by PaleOMG~ click here for recipe

Before I made this recipe I had not ever used ground chicken! But it is sooooo good in this recipe. Trust me 🙂

This is a great recipe to make and reuse throughout the week

Meal #2: Chili

The basic Chili recipe I (loosely)follow is:

  • 2-3 lbs of meat this time I wanted to make extra so I used 2 lbs ground beef and 1 lb of ground pork (you can also use bison, bacon, or steak)
  • 1/2 yellow onion & clove of garlic (diced)
  • 2 cans of tomato sauce
  • 1 can of tomatoes
  • 2 cans of beans (I used chili & black beans)
  • spices- a mixture of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, salt & pepper.

Heat pan with olive oil & sauté diced onion and garlic

Add ground beef and pork until cooked through

Add beans, sauce, tomatoes, & spices

If you can put all in a crockpot and let it all cook together for several hours it makes it even more yummy!!!

 To reuse this meal:
  • make it as traditional chili
  • put it over a sweet potato
  • make it into a rice bowl (pick white, brown or cauliflower depending on your liking)
  • or make it into nachos 

Meal #3: Bacon Meatloaf

  • 1# ground beef
  • 1# sausage
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • bacon
  1. Place all ingredients except for the bacon in a large bowl
  2. Mix well ( I just get in there using my hands to mix)
  3. Put the meat mixture into a loaf pan
  4. Lay bacon across both ways with bacon and tuck it in
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes (until completely done and there is no pink in the center)
To reuse this meal:
  • reheat as is
  • crumble up a piece and put it over rice (for a rice bowl)
  • have a Meatloaf sandwich
  • cook up some diced sweet potatoes and crumble it in all together!
