Common Meals

[Sneakers]

Whatever meat I'm making, I often do roast potatoes with it.

1 potato for each person, 1 for the pan, slice into sticks (no need to peel). Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Onto a rimmed cookie sheet, 425° for 25 minutes, stir, back in the oven for 15-20 minutes until how you like them done.

Chopped onion after the first 25 mins if you like, sometimes I add Old Bay or garlic powder.

They dont' come with enough grease?

Surprisingly, not enough to crisp to a golden brown. But shop towels soak up the excess real good.

Anyone remember the Turkey Roast in the tin foil pan? That was a staple in our house when I was a kid.

Jennie-O. Still available. Got one a while back, loaded with salt, couldn't eat it.

 

[GURPS]

Oh, that sounds good.

I'll find out what seasonings ... I'm thinking about using my Air Fryer next time

I bought one many years ago because I had remembered how good they were. I was wrong.

Isnt it funny how things we loved as a kid just arent the same now?

SpaghettiOs.

 

[black dog]

Regular go-to's are beef stroganoff, ham and cabbage, port chops or chicken thighs, and liver and onions.

Are the starboard chops unobtainable?

On occasion I'll add to my canned supply of prepper stores. I look at those, and think.... nah.

I made the best soup in 3 counties until I quit drinking

You have to sit on the other side of the table.

my wife buys

Pork Country Style Ribs Boneless

chops them up into bite sized pieces seasons and frys them up

I used to put a ton of country ribs in the crockpot on Sunday, then make stuff out of it during the week. Over noodles, burritos, in a casserole, make a quick stew.... They used to be super cheap and a meat staple in my household. Heck, I should do that now.

Thanks for the reminder!

I used to love SpaghettiOs with meatballs when I was a kid. Tried to buy it for my kids and they were grossed out. Tastes like afterbarf. My daughter pointed out that I spoiled them with cooking; my mom didn't cook so canned spaghetti, chow mein, and frozen chicken a la king were what I ate as a child. But my aunties and grandmother were great cooks, so I did get real food sometimes.

I could never even try to like Spaghetti O's.

Those look like the ones my mom used to make, damn they were great! Sunday was steak day she would make them every time and then broil the steaks. No grilling back then.

All of the ChefBoyArdee products are barf inducing.

Mom used to make Kraft Mac n Cheese for sis and open a can of chili for me. I still cannot even stand the smell of MnC and I'm not sure I would even be able to eat canned chili anymore.

Tuna casserole over rice.

Honestly, as long as I have tater tots, I have a meal. Cooked crispy tots topped with eggs or some kind of ground/pulled meat, sprinkle with cheese, pop in the microwave to melt the cheese - BOOM.
