Shrimp boiled in Old Bay, and, umm, something else. I may have to go spelunking again.

Ha! It paid off. Having some fine vintage black beans and rice with the shrimp.

Stuffed pork chop, pan gravy and stuffed butternut squash (granny smith, butter, raisins, dried cherries, walnuts, brown sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon)

MsM, that looks delish! Love the combination of flavours they all go so nicely with pork. Your pan gravy looks rich and tasty!

Just as a follow-up, meatloaf using leftover stuffing as the bread filler is really, really good!

I added some more poultry seasoning to enhance the flavor. It was a home run!

I used to make a meatloaf that actually was filled with stuffing. You made a meat "crust" in a loaf pan on all sides and bottom. Then you filled it with stuffing. The recipe called for the packaged kind, but I always used leftover stuffing from a turkey. Then you put the rest of the meat on top and sealed it well. I used to put a mushroom sauce over it. I stopped making it when DH was diagnosed with celiac. But I could always use gluten free bread in the stuffing.

I will have to remember that! What a good idea.

The sauce looks wonderful, and a really nice brown color on your pork!

Thank you LP. We didn't really like the butternut because it was so bland. Next time I will use the same stuffing but put it in an acoorn squash.

That sound fantastic. Was it a red or brown mushroom gravy?

I've made meatloaf where the bread mixture was stovetop stuffing. It's the only meatloaf I make now. The recipe is here I think.

I use cornbread stuffing mix in meatloaf, seasoned with a taco seasoning packet and drained stewed tomatoes. What kind of stuffing do you use?

 

[Vanilla Bean]

I don't feel really creative, so it's something with polish sausage.

Nothing fancy.

Here's the recipe, Z. http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f48/melt-in-your-mouth-meat-loaf-recipe-41704.html
I've used the chicken and I think the pork once. I didn't notice any discernible difference.

Thanks, Pac! Another good Ol-Blue recipe. Copied and pasted.

 

[pacanis]

You're welcome.
I keep a few boxes of stuffing mix around for that meatloaf and her foiled stuffed chicken breast packets.
