What's For Dinner?

[Darth Penguin]

well after doing the search in a few stores for the Blue Menu Sirloin burgers and coming up empty handed I decided to take achance on the family pack of lean ground meat @ Metro today. It cost me $8.50 and after I added some diced mushrooms, onion, aded the eggs, crumbs and spices it made 13 quite substantially sized burgers!
I was actually pleased with the way they BBQ-d up and stayed moist and juicy, so frozen patties BE GONE!
Sometimes I forget the taste of ground beef as I mostly buy ground turkey and chicken for everything. It is sinfully delicious, I gotta say. Brushing both sides of the burgers at the end of the cooking with the last dollops of BBQ sauce from 3 different bottles made me feel quite thrifty!
Dinner is served..shortly.

My homemade burgers always end up breaking.

I nearly gag eating those frozen burgers, even the sirloin ones our DD buys, so I always make my own. Penguin, if you put a little more breadcrumbs in, it'll hold together much better.
But tonight it's chicken burgers with more of that guacamole sauce on mine...tomatoes, lettuce, cheese...We're taping in prep for painting here, so it's going to be a quickie dinner.

We do a produce pack thing here locally so once a week we get a boatload of veggies. I made this last night and it is reheating now for tonight. Nom Nom.

So I did not do enough meals for the week yesterday, just wasn't into it I guess. This morning I got everything out to make a new recipe ( thin pork cutlets with a mashed butternut squash filling, topped with a Swiss cheese and honey sauce)
After I mashed the squash I had the brilliant idea to put it into my little chopper thingy to get it more smooth....bad idea.
It pureed so runny that I now could not spread it onto the sliced pork without it running/spilling off.
Well I throw nothing out if I can help it, so I diced all the raw pork up into teeny bits, threw in diced onion, red and green pepper and added some of that sticky BBQ cooking sauce I had made last week. While that simmered I made a nice large pastry for my deep 9x11 pan.
So it has turned into a deep dish BBQ pork meat pie, and I spread that pureed squash over the top of the filling before I placed the top layer of pastry on. Hey it works.
Now I have to pretend to the gang here that the meat pie was my plan all along.

WOB, that sounds amazing, however you got to the final product!

I'll be making baked porkchops with mushroom and onion sauce, roasted potatoes, and marinated veggie salad.
Late lunch today, so we'll eat late - son works at church til about 8.

i made a pasta bake. cooked a couple turkey sausages, sliced them up and threw in a bowl some red, green and yellow bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, garlic and some cooked rotini with a jar of tomato sauce.. threw it in a casserole dish with some shredded cheese and baked. so good!
