CALIFORNIA
ROAST
INGREDIENTS:
2-3 pound chuck roast
1 pkg onion soup mix
DIRECTIONS:
Place roast on large sheet of
aluminum foil. Sprinkle onion soup mix on top and fold the foil
tightly around it. Put in a baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 2 hours.
NOTE: You can also surround
the roast with cut up potatoes and vegetables before closing up the foil.
NOTE: This can also be done
in the crockpot. Just toss everything in, sprinkle on the onion soup,
add ½ cup of water, turn it on low and go!

ROUND
STEAK PARMESAN
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. round steak
1/2 cup flour
1 pkg sliced mozzarella cheese
1 jar thick spaghetti sauce
2 tbsp oil
salt and pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Slice steak into thin
individual serving pieces and dip them in the flour. Brown on both
sides in a heavy skillet with heated oil. Place in casserole dish
that has been coated with non-stick spray, making sure the pieces do
not overlap one another. Lay mozzarella slices on top of steak, and
spread spaghetti sauce on top of cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.

DOWN &
DIRTY MEATLOAF
I call it this because you
have to get your fingers down in the "heart" of the recipe
and mush everything around until thoroughly mixed. Makes your hands
feel icky and sticky, but it sure does taste good!
INGREDIENTS:
2 eggs
½ cup water
½ cup ketchup
1½ - 2 pounds lean
ground beef
1 cup stuffing mix or bread crumbs
1 pkg. onion soup mix
1 can Italian-style tomato
sauce (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl, beat the two
eggs. Then add the water and ketchup and stir well. Put the ground
beef in the center of mixture, dump stuffing (or bread crumbs) and
onion mix on top and start mushing. Don't be squeamish - do a good
job until all of the liquid is mixed together well with the ground
beef. Then put your mush mixture into a loaf pan and bake at 350
degrees for an hour.
OPTIONAL: Heat up the tomato
sauce and serve on the side to be ladled over the sliced meatloaf.

THINGS
TO DO WITH MEATBALLS
I
typically buy my meatballs already prepared in the frozen section of
my grocery store. However, if you would like to make them fresh, and
perhaps freeze them for later, here is a good recipe:
MEATBALLS
1
lb. lean ground beef
1
egg
½
cup dry seasoned Italian bread crumbs
1
tsp. onion powder
salt
& pepper to taste
Mix
together all of the ingredients and form into 1-inch balls. You can
even use a large melon scooper (or ice cream scooper if you prefer
larger meatballs).
SKILLET
METHOD:
Heat
2 tbs. oil in a large skillet and lightly brown the meatballs on all sides.
MICROWAVE:
Cook
on HIGH 4 - 6 minutes; rotating dish halfway through.
OVEN
BAKE:
Bake
meatballs in a roasting pan for approximately 25 minutes at 375 degrees.

SAUCE: Heat a large jar of spaghetti
sauce, add 1 lb. meatballs and serve over your favorite pasta.

instead of pasta, pour the meatball sauce over sub buns, adding
mozzarella cheese and toasting in the oven until the cheese is melted.
BBQ

several hours. Serve with rice or noodles.

meatballs in your favorite sweet and sour sauce, along with onion
wedges, green pepper wedges and pineapple chunks.

crockpot; add the meatballs (1 lb.), and let simmer until heated.
Great appetizer!
