I got to thinking that I should post recipes that you can prepare before a football game and just stick in the oven or have it in a crockpot when you eat at half-time or whenever. I will try and do that more often. I have made these dinners and we really like them.
Adjust ingredients to how many people you are having over for a party or for your family, etc.
Barbecued Meatballs:
1-1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 cup milk
3 T. onion-I use more chopped onion
3/4 quick oatmeal-I use Quaker Oats
Salt & Pepper
Mix all ingredients together. Form into walnut-sized balls. A small ice cream scoop-sprayed with Pam-works well. Place in a 9x13' baking dish. I spray the pan with Pam. Cover with following sauce:
1 cup ketchup
1 T. Worcestershire Sauce
2 T. brown sugar
1/2 cup water
Mix the above sauce ingredients well and pour over the meatballs. Bake at 350 for 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Double the sauce ingredients if you make more meatballs. I go by looks alot when preparing some recipes.
Barbecued Pork Sandwiches:
If you want these for a Saturday Football Game..I would make the pork roast the day before and shred it..put it in food saver bags to keep it moist.
Put a pork roast in the crockpot with some minced onion and garlic and a little water. Let it cook on low for several hours till it is done.. Pour off the broth..shred the meat..put in a container or a food saver bag.
Put in the crockpot the cooked shredded pork. Cook on the stove on medium heat...
1 cup ketcup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup water
Salt & Pepper To Taste
2 T. vinegar
Minced onion-use how much you like-we like alot of onion
1 T. mustard
1 T. Worcestershire Sauce
Bring the above ingredients to a low boil. Pour the sauce over the shredded pork in the crockpot. Cook on low for several hours..the longer the better
Serve on hamburger buns.
Crockpot Chili
1 package hamburger
1 package hot sausage-Farmer John
2 onions, diced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
2-14 1/2 oz. cans Del Monte diced tomatoes with zesty mild green chilies
1-30 oz. can Hunts chili beans, drained and rinsed
Sliced fresh mushrooms-use how much you want
Cut up celery-use how much you want in it
Chopped green peppers-use how much you want in it
Farmer John smoked sausage hot links sliced-I use alot of sausages
1-28 oz. can whole peeled tomatoes
Cook hamburger and sausage in a large skillet, drain grease. Add all of the above and the sausage hamburger mixture to the crockpot and stir well. I covered the top with more chili powder, stirred again and covered the top again with chili powder..we like hot and spicy foods. I have made this with and without the hot links. They are good both ways..but..we liked it more with the hot links. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Add jalapeno or cheddar cheese on top of chili when you put the chili in your bowl. Add crushed saltine crackers.
Butterscotch Dessert
Melt 1 stick of butter. Add 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9x13" pan and bake at 325 for 10 minutes. Cool crust. Whip together:
1-8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup Cool Whip
Smear this carefully over crust; cool in refrigerator. HINT: Drop the cream cheese mixture all over the crust in teaspoons, then spread it gently or else the crust will end up being a crumbly mess. Cook 2 small packages of butterscotch or chocolate pudding..your choice..with 3 cups milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Pour this over the cream cheese layer. Cool and top with Cool Whip.
Ham Casserole:
2-1/2 cups cooked picnic ham
2 cans undiluted mushroom soup
1 cup milk
1 cup chicken broth
2 cups cooked macaroni
1 can mushrooms, drained
1 small diced onion
Mix together the above ingredients in a bowl. Put this mixture in a 9x13' pan and refrigerate overnight. Let stand at room temperature one hour before baking. Cover with breaded crumbs and paprika. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Smothered Hamburger Steaks:
1-1/2 lbs. hamburger
3/4 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced green peppers
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1 beaten egg
Salt & Pepper to taste
Mix all the above ingredients together; form into hamburger steaks. Put into a baking dish that has been sprayed with Pam. Pour 2 cans cream of mushroom soup on top. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, can add cheese last 5 minutes..optional.
