My latest favorite Sunday meal is wafting fabulous scents throughout my home as we speak! It is so fast and easy! A really great meal to toss together and leave with the oven timer set to start while you're gone.


6-8 potatoes
1 Kielbasa
1 onion
olive oil
salt
pepper
rosemary
parsley flakes

Wash and thinly slice (about 1/4 inch) 6 to 8 potatoes. I cut mine in half and then slice them so they don't roll all over. (You can peel them if you'd like, but since my family will eat the skins, I don't bother.)

Cut one Polska or Beef Kielbasa in half lengthwise. Then slice thinly.

Peel one onion. Cut in half. Slice thinly.

Toss onion, kielbasa, and potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil to coat potatoes. (I'm guessing I use about 3 Tablespoons.) Then toss in a tablespoon of kosher salt, grind in a bunch of pepper (I like to see it!), put in the leaves from a couple of sprigs of rosemary (we have a bush, but if you don't I'd guess about 2 tsp dried), and about 1 Tablespoon parsley flakes.

Pour into a 9x 13" baking dish that's been coated with cooking spray. Cover with foil, and bake for 1 hr. @ 400 degrees.

Heat a large pan, add about 2 T. oil, when oil is heated sear a pork loin roast on all sides, salt and pepper. Set aside for a moment.

In a crock pot that has been sprayed with Pam, place:

1 coarsly chopped onion, Pork Roast, and 1 (2 cup) container of diced green chiles (can be found in the freezer section in something that looks like a sour cream container).

Cover and cook overnight or all day on high. Roast will fall apart, shred with 2 forks. Serve on tortillas with grated cheese, sour cream, and refried beans (if desired). If there is too much "juice", drain the juice and freeze in a separate container to make tortilla soup.

Alternate recipe:
Saute 1 diced onion in oil, add 1 can diced green chiles, stir in 1 lb. chopped leftover pork roast, hamburger, or sausage. Add 1 package brown gravy mix, and slowly stir in 1 cup water. Stir until gravy boils and thickens. Serve in flour tortillas. Great with refried beans, sour cream, grated cheese, minced onions, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and salsa.

1 package egg roll wrappers
1 lb sausage, browned and crumbled
1 lb bean sprouts
1 head cabbage, shredded
1 onion, diced
1 1b mushrooms, chopped
2 or 3 carrots, grated
2 or 3 stalks celery, chopped
other veggies you want to add - squash, zucchini, sugar snap peas, etc.

Brown, crumble, and drain sausage and set aside. Saute veggies in 1/4 cup vegetable oil until wilted and reduced (most water out). Mix sausage into veggies. Spoon a couple of tablespoons of filling into egg roll wrapper, touch all edges with water, roll up like a little burrito. Make a couple of dozen of these little babies and pop them into really hot oil for a minute or so. Drain on paper towels. Serve with Sweet & Sour Sauce.

from BH&G New Cook Book - My Fave!!!

3 beaten eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 c. chopped green onion
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
dash ground nutmeg
3/4 cup chopped cooked chicken, ham, etc.
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (swiss, cheddar, jack, or havarti - 6 oz.)
1 T. all-purpose flour

Preheat oven according to package instructions, prepare pastry crust (I use ready crust that comes in a roll or else a regular freezer pie crust). Bake crust as for 1 crust pie.

Meanwhile, in a bowl stir together eggs, milk, onion, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in cooked meat. Toss together grated cheese and flour. Add to egg mixture; mix well.

Pour egg mixture into hot pastry shell. Bake in 325 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes or till a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If necessary, cover edge of crust with foil to prevent over browning. Let stand for 10 minutes. Serves 6.

Other great quiche combinations: cheddar, green chile, onion & sausage; swiss, onion, spinach & bacon; ham & cheddar; mushroom, cheddar, bacon; anything that sounds good to you. (Saute the veggies/ cook the meat, before adding so that most of the liquid is out of them.)
