Navajo Tacos

These are my kids' favorite...
Im too lazy to make actual scones, so the recipe for scones that I use is my mother in law's roll recipe:

1 cup hot water
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 egg
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
3 1/2 cups flour
1 pkg yeast

Mix it all up like you would a normal dough, knead it, then pull off chunks and shape into the size and shape of scone you would like to have. Deep fry in hot oil until its golden brown and delicious. On top of the scones we add: chili ground beef lettuce salsa sour cream onions olives tomatoes Pretty much whatever kind of thing you'd put in a taco.. Only these are better :)

Epic Meatloaf

1 lb hamburger
1 box Stove Top stuffing
1 cup water
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 egg
1 chopped onion
Seasonings


Combine 1 cup water with the pouch of Stove Top to moisten contents.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Seasonings should be based on
what flavor you're going for. ie: Italian (basil, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, etc.),
Mexican (cumin, red pepper, chili powder, salt, etc.) just don't forget
the salt or else it'll taste funny!

Spoon mixture into baking dish* (I use a bread pan). And bake at 350 for
45-60 mins or until done (obviously).

*Before you cook it you can also add things to the top - if you're making
it Mexican style you can put salsa, or if you're doing Italian you can
add spaghetti sauce or Italian dressing. Play around with your favorite
seasonings and have fun with it!

p.s. Heather, I apologize for "epic" but "awesome meatloaf" just didn't sound right...

Hot Hamburger sandwiches and fries.

Tonight we had hot hamburger sandwiches and fries. It is one of our favorite meals.

Seasoned Fries.
I peeled and cut up my potatoes this morning and put them in cold water in the fridge. This is not a requirement I just had the time this morning and knew I wouldn't have the time tonight.

In a plastic bag I  put a little flour, season salt, garlic powder, pepper, chili powder and paprika. I then shook the bag a little to combine everything and then added the fries and shook to coat them. I then baked them on a greased pan at 400 degrees until they were done. (I poked them with a fork every once in a while to tell how tender they were)

Then I mad some hamburgers. After they were all cooked I add the cheese, I like Provolone and The Hairy Hubby likes Colby Jack or Cheddar. A trick to melting the cheese is to add a little water and then put the lid on, the steam from the water will melt the cheese marvelously.

For the gravy we just use the brown gravy packets and follow the directions on the packet.. although sometimes i add dried onions to the gravy.

For the bread you can use a bun and put a burger on each side or tonight we used a slice of Bountiful Baskets' Chabata bread.
