Super Simple Suppers
As I was making my grocery list today, I realized that I'm stuck in the rut of making the same few meals over and over again. I need some variety (and I think Marty would also appreciate it!) So, I need your help. For those of you who read this blog (all four of you), I need some help. Please click on the comments link below this posting and leave your simple supper recipe. I'll collect them throughout the week and post them all on Saturday so you'll have some fresh recipes for next week too. Check back then because I'll even post where you can find items in the recipes on sale. Don't leave me hanging. Don't make me cook spaghetti again next week! Keep the simple suppers coming :)

So, this at first doesn't look simple, but once you have done it you will realize how simple it is:
STROMBOLI
1 package refrigerated pizza dough
1 pack provolone cheese
1 pack pepperoni
1 bottle pizze sauce
Topping:
1 tsp red pepper flake
1 tbs sesame seed
1 tbs parm cheese
1 tbs italian seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
* you can adjust any of the seasonings to taste
1. Preheat your oven accordinging to pizza dough pack
2. spread out dough, top with cheese and pepperoni on one half
3. Fold over and seal
4. brush top with melted butter and top with seasoning
5. bake about 20 minutes
6. slice and serve with pizza sauce
You can also put other things inside if you like: green peppers, mushrooms, sausage, chicken. I have one friend you makes it with brocoli and chicken and LOVES it.
I get the same way with recipes!
BEEF STROGANOFF
1 lb of steak tips
1 tablespoon butter
One medium onion, diced
Package of mushrooms, sliced(optional)
8 oz.- 16 oz. sour cream
1 cup of beef broth
Sprinkle of garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (optional)
Egg noodles or rice
1. Brown the meat on each side (2 or 3 min. total); drain meat juice into cup; set meat aside
2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in sauté pan and sauté onions and mushrooms, add garlic, onion and cayenne pepper here if you would like
3. Combine meat and vegetables into a crock pot with “meat juice” and beef broth (together need to equal 1 cup) and 8-16 oz. of sour cream (depends on how creamy you want the recipe).
4. Cook on high for 4-6 hours or low for 8-10 hours, stirring occasionally
5. After stroganoff is done, cook egg noodles or rice and either mix together or serve separately.
You can also do this recipe without the slow cooker and combine all ingredients into the sauté pan and cook on low for 10-20 min. I find that the meat is very tough this way, so I like to throw it all into a Crockpot.
Beer butt chicken(or soda pop if a nondrinker:))
1 whole chicken fryer without all the extras(giblet and neck)
Olive oil
a couple halfed Garlic cloves
Salt and pepper to taste
1 can of beer(the darker the better)
Wash and dry your chicken. Then rub olive oil all over it with your hands. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Take your can of beer and drink half:) then take the rest and put the garlic cloves inside. You then insert the can into the cavity of the chicken so that the chicken is 'sitting' on top of the can. Then sit the can on top of the grill and cook for about an hour or so(that's for about a 4#chix). After it's done and the meat is no longer pink, let the bird rest for a few minutes before cutting it up. We love this chicken recipe b/c it makes the chicken so moist. We almost always have leftover meat that I can use later in the week for sandwiches, pasta, etc.
