What's cooking? (1 Viewer)

I often feel guilty at eating an animal and I rather not no where my dad bought it at.To make me feel a little better I call it Space Alien meal that way I don't have guilty conscience. I can easily quit meat meals and go vegetables. Does anyone else here feel guilty? I kinder feel sick to my stomach right now. I've not really bothered buying food this week, trying to save up, might buy small groceries and might try and cut back on meaty ready microwave meals for once and go for something different? Maybe stir fry or is it steam fry?

No guilt at all. Many, if not the majority, of animals eat other animals for sustenance. Big meat eater here, I eat meat every day whether it be beef, pork, chicken, etc. Couldn't imagine meals without it. Nothing like a big medium rare steak.

No guilt at all.

Me neither. But I wouldn't want this thread to get side-tracked into this alternate discussion.

The OP set up this thread to talk about cooking and sharing fun recipes.

^Yeah, your right.

Recipe for this morning was Fried egg and ham.

I have eaten animal flesh and I've enjoyed it. What is me?

I actually enjoyed fried Ham. What is wrong with me? I tell you, you did taste, tasty, but you are tasty.

I need to remember to take pictures!Breakfast this morning, courtesy of my wife:Homemade hash browns, formed into a good-sized patty, topped with equal-sized sausage patty, topped with over easy fried egg. Delicious!

Sausages. I'm reminded of this dog that can say Sausages. I like fried sausages and hash browns and fried egg and tomatoes.

Interesting. I'm not a particular fan of the stuffed category. But that has sausage.

Recalls the classic Calvin & Hobbes strip where his mom tells him the stuffed peppers are "monkey heads", and Calvin thinks the stuffing is brains. Calvin is enthusiastic about dinner for once!

..and his dad is looking on making the face Calvin usually would and saying that he won't eat it now! Priceless!

It was delicious....my wife added small chunks of apple to the stuffing mix. This and a Caesar salad was perfect. The sausage adds a great texture and a little kick. We're both foodies so we try different things all the time.

I had Scotch Eggs at the PA Renn Faire today but they cooked! =)

Tonight was Meat Loaf. It's my wife's mom's recipe, I think. It's a basic 1960s recipe: pound of beef mixed in with some cubed bread, milk, couple eggs, ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper, and sage. I need to fine tune it for the bread and beef I'm using now. The meat was clumped and overcooked in places and too thinned by all the liquid in others.

So, anyone got a favorite, easy meat loaf recipe?

My wife uses this one:Ingredients1 pound ground beef1 1/4 teaspoons salt1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper1/2 cup chopped onion1/2 cup chopped bell pepper1 egg, lightly beaten8 ounces canned diced tomatoes with juice1/4 cup quick-cooking oatsTopping:1/3 cup ketchup2 tablespoons brown sugar1 tablespoon prepared mustardheat oven to 375 degrees F.Mix all ingredients well and place in a baking dish. Shape into a loaf.Topping:Mix ingredients for topping and spread on loaf. Bake for 1 hour.Not sure where she got it, it was in her recipe card box. But we like it.

We have a big family....6 of us in all, so we try to use cheaper cuts of meat to save $. We've found London Broil to be a good cut for grilling/roasting for our crowd. Its very lean so we've found that marinating is best for flavor and tenderizing. Orange juice makes a great marinade base as the citric acid is a natural tenderizer. Mix it with seasonings, worchestershire sauce, etc and marinate for a few hours before grilling/roasting and it works very well.

I've got to play with your meat loaf recipe. The onions and peppers won't work; they upset the wife's stomach. But the oats are interesting. And I like the brown sugar on top.

For meat loaf, oats work better than bread crumbs.I use McCann's(probably not the correct brand. White tin and they are 45 minute cook steel cut)

 

[Citizen87645]

My mom always used oats as well. I haven't made meatloaf in years though, and my wife doesn't care for it, so it probably won't be a dish in our home anytime soon.
