Dinner for Tuesday, January 3, 2012

[buckytom]

i have about 3 3/4 pounds of ground beef/veal/pork to use up, so i'm trying to think of what to make.

i bought it to make meatballs for a holiday party that never materialized. it's in one of those containers that have a gas injected into them that allows for a longer shelf life, but it's about to go bad so i need to get something made.

i may just make the meatballs in sauce and freeze them to bring to my parents, or i was thinking since i have bacon and cheese, i might try my first fatty (fattie?).

how long do you smoke a fatty? i also have some trout and sausage that i can smoke along with it if i'm going to bother with the smoker. it all depends on when i get up.

so, what is everyone cooking today?

 

[Aunt Bea]

Roasting a chicken.

 

[pacanis]

I let the burger cool off in the skillet last night... right into this morning
So all I know is it won't be tacos with the leftover burger I made last night. Maybe I'll grill some wings.

I smoke mine to about 160F, Bucky.

 

[Rocklobster]

The plan is chicken parm with spaghetti, but dinner is a long time away...

 

[Andy M.]

Fatties are a great idea but usually made with breakfast sausage. You could make the meatballs and freeze them or make a meatloaf or two. Stuffing for bell peppers is another thought.

I'd probably toss the ground meats together for Swedish meatballs, bake them in the oven, cool them, and freeze them for another time.

i.

Tourtiere, Bolognaise Sauce.

 

[Zhizara]

With 3-1/2 pounds, I'd make meatloaf and meatballs, then freeze one for later.

 

[Fabiabi]

I feel like a homemade heart warming soup and thick bread. Can I be bothered to make it? No!

 

[Alix]

I'd make meatballs, freeze 'em. Make a nice meat sauce and freeze, then do a little fatty with some lovely bacon. With 3+ pounds you can do at least three meals or two "company" meals.

Geez, just about forgot to post that I don't have to make dinner tonight. I'm going over to my MILs for dinner. Not sure what she's making, but I'm sure it will be lovely.

 

[kezlehan]

Making a smoked paprika sauce, with some onions and mushrooms, and planning on adding some quorn pieces to it. Serving with a salad. Trying the chicken style quorn tonight. Hope it tastes ok!

 

[Andy M.]

I think I'm making a skillet dinner with hash browns, kielbasa, onions, mushrooms, cheeses and some frozen veggies.

 

[buckytom]

thanks for the help and ideas, everyone. i just got up and have to read a book to help out with a book report tonight, so any smoking will have to wait.

 

[Steve Kroll]

I'm making chicken in mustard cream sauce and serving it over homemade egg noodles. Not sure what the side will be... either spinach or broccoli.

 

[Ranchwifeg]

According to the menu I made last Friday, I'm either going to make baked pork chops, baked salmon with a smoky aioli sauce, or spaghetti that I have frozen. It all depends on what time I get home, but I'm thinking it will be the salmon.

 

[Dawgluver]

Tuna noodle casserole! Got me going, after reading the What I Won't Eat thread.

 

[cmontg34]

Making a beef stew, and I think its probably the best one I've made yet. Bread rolls will accompany it.

 

[babetoo]

either a lean q. pizza or fresh spinach salad with strawberries and artichoke hearts.maybe a slice of roast beef for a protein. fruit (fresh raspberries) for dessert.

which egg noodles will it be, dawg--wide or thin?

fond childhood food memories sure can evoke a ravenous appetite--like a flash of lightening, out of the blue....
