Crockpot BBQ Pork Steak

This is a super easy crockpot recipe.
Add pork steak to the crockpot.  Mine were frozen.  I had 8 thick cut steaks.
Sprinkle with about 1/4 cup of brown sugar.
Add 1 1/2 cups BBQ sauce, I used Sweet Baby Ray's.
Then I added a can Coke to cover the steaks.  Cook until done.
These took 6 hours on high.

Sausage & Rice Casserole

*On a personal note ~ When I lived at home, with my parents before I was married.  My Mom would always let us choose what we wanted for dinner on our birthdays and she would prepare it for us.  This is what I would choose almost every year!  It doesn't look or sound that amazing, however it is very good!!  My Dad raised registered Charolais (for those of you who are not familiar, they are beautiful big white cows!)  We had beef and we just took having beef steak, roasts, and such for granted!  So, as a girl who thinks 'beef is whats for dinner'.  Even though it isn't beef, it sure is a favorite!
Thanks Mom and Dad!!  We were always spoiled!!!!

Sausage & Rice

1/3 cup onion ~ chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Brown Sausage in a large skillet.  When brown add salt, pepper, onion and celery.  Cook 5 minutes then add chicken broth and water.  Add rice and cook until rice is tender.  Stir often.
Serve and Enjoy!!'

Ranch Pork Chops

These pork chops were so easy and the whole family enjoyed them.  I bought a package of the thin sliced pork chops.  I put a little olive oil in a skillet to coat it.  Heat up the oil and added one layer of pork chops.  Then I generously sprinkled dry Ranch dressing on them.  I added another layer and did it again.  Just before I turned the pork chops I added a little more Ranch.  Just cook until they are done and they are delicious.  My son, that isn't a big pork chop fan dipped them in Ranch salad dressing and he really liked that.

Ham & Beans

Ham and Beans

Soak beans of your choice.  We prefer Great Northern for this recipe.
You can make as large or as small as you like.  Be aware that for best beans you will want to let them soak overnight in a large pan.  The beans will swell, so use a large pan, cover with water.  Next morning, rinse beans and put fresh water covering the beans, cook on a low boil to high simmer until beans are quite tender.  Then add chopped up ham, or even a ham bone.  The bone brings in a great flavor!  Squirt 2 squirts of ketchup, add salt pepper to taste.  Also add, onion salt  about an hour before you think they will be done.  Beans take most of the day to cook but are not a lot of work.  They just cook while you do what you need to do.  You can use this same method in the crock-pot.  Hope you enjoy this warm winter dinner!!

Skillet Sausage and Rice Skillet

This is such an easy 2 or 3 ingredient dish, it is great when you are in a hurry.

Brown 1 pound of sausage, drain.
Add one box of Rice~A~Roni, I use chicken.
Cook according to the directions on the box.
This is good here, but creamy if you add about 1/3 of sour cream.  You can add more seasoning if you like, but really is good like this.

Joye's Holiday Sausage Stuffing

The holiday stuffing is always my food assignment.  So I thought I would share how I make it.  It is very simple to make, and the family eats it, always a perk.  Some family members like it with gravy.

Gee, if the family see's how easy this is they might start giving me a different food assignment.  LOL.

I don't really have a recipe for this, but this is what I did for this bowl of stuffing.

I brown 2 pounds of sausage with a couple of onions, that are chopped.  Drain.

I used 3 boxes of Mrs. Cubbison's Dressing.  I like all the flavors so I don't just use this one.

I added 3 cans of Chicken Broth, this just depends on how moist or dry you like your stuffing.

Add everything together and mix well and heat it up.  You can do this in the microwave or oven.  Any leftovers freeze well.

Brown Sugar and Honey Pork Chops

I love to go camping, and when I go I like the food easy and delicious.  For these pork chops I just washed them and put them in a ziploc bag.  I had 5 pork chops in the bag and added 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup honey.  Then I just zipped the bag and kneaded it together so that all the pork chops were covered.  I left them in the fridge for overnight and then we cooked them.  They were very good.  They reminded us of bacon, which we love!

Orange, Maple Pork Chops

For these pork chops I washed them and put them in a ziploc bag.  I had 5 pork chops and added enough orange juice, (ready to drink kind from the fridge) a large squirt of maple syrup, a couple shakes ginger and 2 Tbsp. soy sauce.  Then I just kneaded it together in the baggie to mix.  I left these in the fridge for 2 days and they were so tender and yummy.  The whole family loved them, even my youngest that doesn't like pork chops!!

Easy Time Saver Breakfast

This is a great time saver. I do it all the time!  I cook up several pounds of sausage and fill a container for the fridge to save time in the mornings. I also put them in ziploc bags, label them and date them. Then you have a lot ready with the same amount of mess. :o)




Here is a great little tips for you.  Did you know that the biscuits you buy in the tube at the grocery store can be fried up in your skillet?  They can, and it works out perfect.  This way you can heat your sausage and fry up your biscuit in no time at all.

Sunny~Side up Sausage Breakfast

Grandma always said necessity was the Mother of Invention ~ that is what happened here.  I was going to fry up sausage patties with bread baskets, (bread with a small hole in the center with the egg in there).  Anyway, when it got down to it I didn't have that much bread so I decided to do it with the sausage.  What I did was shape the sausage into patties with a hole clear through the center, like a doughnut.  I cracked the eggs in right at the beginning of cooking and everything cooked well together.  My family loved this, I'm sure I will make this again.

Pork Enchiladas

This was prepared by our niece, she is a great cook.  Thanks for taking time to share with us all.
Thanks for "Bee"ing part of our day.

 

 

Pork roast ( I used 1/4 of it)

1 Can Black beans

1 can Cream of Mushroom soup

1 can Cream of Chicken soup

1 can green chilies

sour cream

cheese

green enchilada sauce

Cook roast then shred it.  Mix sour cream and soups together well, then mix everything together.   Put everything in flour tortillas ( I used TorttillaLand tortillas you get in the refrigerator section).  There lots better than other brands just sitting on the shelves.  You heat them on the stove. Put everything in tortillas top with green enchilada sauce ( I only use half a can, it gets to warm for my kids.)  Top with cheese.  Bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

12 oz. can of Pepsi
18 oz. bottle of BBQ sauce ~ I used Kraft

I cooked these on low for 5 hours and they were fall off the bone tender.

BBQ Corkscrew Wursts

This is the kind I used in today.  They all will corkscrew up like this.
Lay them out on the cutting board and I cut them all at the same time on an angle.
Be careful not to cut through them.
Turn them over and cut them the same way, same direction for this affect.

BBQ them on the grill and watch them pop.

Almost ready.
In a skillet with some olive oil saute some peppers and onions.
For these I used banana peppers ~ whatever you like.

Top with peppers, onions and grated cheese.
Add the topping you like ~ you can see we like ketchup.
Enjoy.
