P-Dub makes up this meatloaf as sliders, but
when I tried it I made it as a meatloaf and it was really good. When she talks about forming patties, just
put it all into a loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes in a 375 degree oven.
Meatloaf (Pioneer
Woman)
·
⅓ cups Mayonnaise
·
2 Tablespoons Ketchup
·
1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (less If You're
Sensitive To Spice!)
·
4 Tablespoons Butter
·
½ whole Medium Onion, Finely Diced
·
8 ounces, weight White Mushrooms, Chopped Finely
·
½ cups White Or Red Wine (optional)
·
4 dashes Worcestershire Sauce
·
Kosher Salt And Freshly Ground Black Pepper
·
2 pounds Ground Beef
·
4 Tablespoons Heavy Whipping Cream
·
4 dashes Worcestershire Sauce
·
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
·
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
·
4 slices Swiss Cheese, Cut Into Four Squares
·
8 whole Dinner (or Slider) Rolls, Split
Preparation Instructions
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and cayenne.
Stir together until totally combined. Set aside. (This is the spicy fry sauce.)
Melt butter in a large skillet. Add onions and cook over
medium heat for five minutes, stirring frequently. Add mushrooms and toss
around, then add wine (if using), Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Cook for
several minute over medium heat, or until all liquid has evaporated. Transfer
mushroom mixture to a separate bowl, scraping all contents from the skillet.
Mix ground beef, heavy cream, Worcestershire, and salt
and pepper in a bowl. Use your hands to thoroughly mix ingredients. Form 1/4 to
1/3 cup of the meat mixture into patties, making an indentation with your thumb
to keep the patties from plumping too much when they cook. In the same skillet
as the one used to cook the mushrooms, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium to
medium-high heat. Add four patties at a time, indented side face up. Cook for 4
minutes, then flip. Spoon generous portion of mushroom mixture on each patty,
then top with one or two squares of Swiss, depending on your preference. Place
lid on skillet and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until burgers are
cooked through and cheese is melted. Remove to a place and keep warm while you
repeat with the rest of the meat mixture.
Toast halved buns under the oven broiler. Spread generously
with spicy fry sauce. Place patties between buns and serve immediately with
fried onion strings.
·
8 oz. Baker's German sweet chocolate
·
1/2 cup milk
·
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
·
2 Tbsp. sugar
·
8 oz. tub frozen whipped topping,
thawed
·
1 chocolate wafer crumb crust
Heat all but 3 squares of the
chocolate with 1/4 of the milk. You can do this in the microwave (on high for
1-2 min.) or in a double boiler. Stir until completely melted. Beat in cream
cheese, sugar, and remaining milk. Gently stir in whipped topping until smooth.
Spoon into crust. Freeze until firm. Remove from freezer and let stand for 30
minutes at room temperature until pie can be cut easily.
Sunday
1.
Cook a few extra potatoes tonight and keep them
in your fridge unpeeled until Tuesday night.
2.
If your potatoes are not very large (like <4”
long) they will likely be cooked in the 45 minute baking time. If you opt for larger potatoes get them
started in the microwave for a few minutes so they will finish at the same time
as your chicken.

If you have any kids that you can make this cake
with, it could be a great object lesson for the season. Thanks Cindy for sharing the link.

15 bean soup (aka

Chicken Fried Rice
(Menus4Moms)
§
Calrose rice, cooked
(about 2-3 cups)
§
1 egg
§
1 onion, chopped
§
frozen peas and
carrots, thawed
§
corn if you like it
§
meat (optional, not
on grocery list)
§
soy sauce or tamari
Cook calrose rice according
to directions or reheat rice if you made extra last week. Heat some oil in wok
or deep fry pan (I use about a tablespoon) and scramble one egg in it. Remove
egg and add some more oil (I add about 3 tbsp) to the pan, heating. Add chopped
onion, some thawed peas & carrots (and corn if you like), and anything
else you like in your rice. We sometimes add leftover chicken or canned baby
shrimp. When the onions are tender, add the rice and add soy sauce to taste and
stir with a big flat wooden spoon or large cooking chopsticks, if you have them
(mine are about 18" long). Add the cooked egg near the end of cooking
time and stir well. When the rice is heated through and a bit crispy, it is
ready to serve.
