since it's sunday. :)

-----
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1/4 pounds ground suet
salt and pepper to taste
2 minced cloves garlic
1/8 Tsp baking soda
1/3 beef broth
2 Tsp paprika

In a blender or food processor, combine the meat with suet and grind until mixture is very fine in texture. Add seasoning and baking soda and mix thoroughly. With lightly greased hands, knead the meat mixture, adding bouillon slowly until mixture adheres together. Take a small pieces of the mixture and shape into 3 inch long, 1/2 inch wide fingers ( let them seat for 2 hours refrigerated). Place them under broiler, aprox 5 inches from heat source, or use a charcoal grill. Brown for 7 minutes on each side. Good to serve with mustard and a beer on the side while watching the football game or chatting with a neighbor.

-Pigs in a Blanket.
For those who don't know, get a package of pilsbury crescent rolls, slices of cheese and hot dogs. Cut the cheese in half diagonally, put a piece on top of the uncooked crescent roll, and put half a hot dog on the corner of it and wrap the crescent roll around it. Cook in the oven for as long as the crescent roll's directions state.


-Steak, green beans, mashed potatoes and biscuits

-Cincinnati style chili!!!!

Do you like fish? If yes, you can broil some fish with veggies (tomatos, potatos, peppers, onion, garlic, etc.) :)

I found this in a magazine (saveur) and made it the other week,

enchurritos
serves 6 (freezes well though, unassembled)

for the filling:
2 T vegetable oil
3 lbs round steak, cut into 1/2" cubes
1 small yellow onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, stemmed, cored, and finely chopped
2 t garlic powder
1 1/4 t ground cumin
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 T flour
1 c tomato sauce

for the sauce:
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 c flour
2 1/2 t ground cumin
1 1/2 t garlic powder
1 1/2 t chili powder
2 T tomato paste
salt and freshly ground black pepper

6 12" flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups grated mild cheddar

for the filling: heat oil in large skillet over high heat and brown beef, 8-10 minutes. add onion and peppers and cook until soft, 2-3 minutes. stir in garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper to taste. stir in flour, then add tomato sauce and 1 1/2 cups water. scrape up browned bits from bottom of pan. cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until meat is falling apart, 2-3 hours.

for the sauce: heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. add flour and cook, stirring, until deep golden, 10-15 minutes. add cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, tomato paste, salt and pepper to taste. gradually stir in 5 cups water and bring to a simmer. reduce heat to medium-low and cook until thick, 25-30 minutes. keep warm over low heat.

lay 1 tortilla on a work surface and put 1 heaping cup of the filling in the center. fold left and right edges of tortilla over filling by 2", then roll up tortilla, starting with edge closest to you, completely encasing filling. repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. divide burritos between 6 plates, cover with sauce, and sprinkle cheese on top.

with some black beans and a lettuce/tomato/avocado salad to go with, it was.. probably the best meal I've made in.. months. it's enough sauce for 12, so.. be prepared to freeze half of it!
