BBQ Beef and Pork Sandwiches

4 lbs. (total) beef and/or pork roast

MIX TOGETHER:
1 large can tomato sauce
1 4 oz. catsup
1 C. water
2 T. lemon juice
2 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 T. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. mustard
1 medium onion, minced
1/2 C. celery, chopped
Salt and pepper

Place the beef or pork in 275º oven for 4 hours. Shred roast. Add the sauce. Place in slow cooker and cook until veggies are done to your liking. This is really better the second day when the ingredients have blended. I sometimes mix it up, let it set in the refrigerator overnight, and then start cooking in the early afternoon for dinner, or make the day before and then reheat.

Goulash

This is one of the two or three meals that Paul is very good at cooking. It’s a favorite winter supper for our family.

3 cans Campbell’s tomato soup
1 1/2 lbs, ground hamburger
3 C. elbow macaroni
1/2 large green pepper
1 small onion
Butter

Put butter, onion and green pepper into a pan and heat on low until contents begin to soften. Add and brown hamburger. In big pot boil water for cooking noodles. Add soup to the hamburger mixture. Once water is at a boil, add macaroni and cook for 3 minutes. Drain water from macaroni and add soup/hamburger mixture to the big pot with the macaroni and cook on very low heat for 10 minutes.

Serve with Parmesan cheese, white bread with butter, and milk. Applesauce goes nicely, too,

Tater Tot Casserole

1 1/2 lbs. hamburger
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 can milk
1 bag tater tots

Brown hamburger. Add the soup and milk; mix well. Put in a 9×13″ baking dish, Top with tater tots. Bake at 350º until the tater tots are brown and the middle bubbles.

OPTIONAL: Add vegetables or cheese before baking. (I don’t do either. Paul doesn’t like vegetables and I add cheese during re-warming to give the leftovers a different spin.)

Hamburger Gravy

1 lb. hamburger
Salt and pepper
2 heaping serving T. flour
Enough milk to thicken

Brown the hamburger in skillet. Salt and pepper. Drain some of the grease, but not all. Add 2 heaping serving tablespoons (not measuring tablespoons but the spoons you use to serve with) of flour; mix into hamburger and let it get hot (that’s the secret to any milk gravy – let the flour and the drippings get hot or boiling before adding the milk). Pour in enough milk to thicken. That’s how Mom made it – I like to add 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and 1 beef bouillon cube. I think the hamburger I use is leaner and seems sort of tasteless, so I doctor it up. Serve over mashed potatoes and, of course, you have to have frozen sweet corn with it.

Stir-Fried Chicken and Noodles

This is a quick and easy stir-fry. I have tried many different combinations of vegetables, and the sauce is also good with beef instead of chicken. (Substitute beef broth when using beef.)

1/2 C. chicken broth
1/3 C. reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 C. white wine or additional chicken broth
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
3/4 lb. chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, cut into strips
4 tsp. canola oil, divided
2 C. broccoli florets
2 C. julienned carrots
2 C. Chinese or Napa cabbage, shredded
1 C. fresh or frozen snow peas, cut into 1″ pieces
6 oz. spaghetti, broken
2 tsp. cornstarch

In a bowl combine the first 7 ingredients; set aside 3/4 cup. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag; add remaining marinade. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 30 minutes. Drain and discard marinade. In a large non-stick skillet or Wok,
stir-fry chicken in 2 teaspoons oil for 3 to 5 minutes, or until no longer pink. Remove and keep warm. Stir-fry broccoli and carrots in remaining oil for 6 minutes. Add cabbage and peas; stir-fry 3 minutes longer, or until vegetables are crisp-tender.

Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Combine cornstarch and reserved marinade until smooth; add to vegetable mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Drain pasta; stir into vegetable mixture. Return chicken to the pan; cook and stir until heated through.

Yield: 6 servings.

Barbecues

25 lbs. ground beef
1 1/2 large onions, finely chopped
6 – 10 1/2 oz. cans tomato soup
2 – 44 oz. bottles catsup
1 C. mustard
3/4 C. vinegar
Handful or 2 of brown sugar
Salt
Pepper

Brown ground beef in pan; drain. Put in roaster. Add rest of ingredients. Mix well. Simmer 2 hours. Don’t add vinegar until you taste mixture because different brands of catsup use different amounts of vinegar in their recipes. Just make it taste the way you want, a little more of this or a little more of that.

Serves 100.
