I love a recipe that takes a cheaper cut of meat and makes it awesome, or takes bland , cheap food and makes it great. Post your cheap but yummy recipes here!
Mississippi Pot Roast.
Around three pounds of chuck roast
One stick of butter
A packet au jous mix
A packet of Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix
Several pepperocinis and a little juice from the jar
Place ingredients on top of the roast in a crockpot
Cook in crockpot until it falls apart. About 8 hours on low
Quick and easy burrito casserole
1 bag of frozen burritos
1 bag of Mexican style grated cheeses blend
Jalapeños sliced if you want
Black olives sliced if you want
Chopped onion if you want
diced tomato if you want
2 cans of Red enchilada sauce
Preheat oven to 350. Pour a little sauce in bottom of baking dish. Place burritos in dish. Add onions, jalapeños, olives, onions if desired. Pour over rest of sauce Add cheese. Cover with foil and bake for one hour. If you thaw burritos, cook time will be less.
Chili Dog Enchiladas:
• Tortillas ( corn or flour )
• 8 all beef hot dogs. The best you can find ( Grilled for extra flavor. )
• Chili without beans (Either home made or canned.)
• Grated Cheese ( Either or both Cheddar or Jack Also, spiced jalapeno jack would be good. )
• Rotel ( Diced mild chilies and tomatoes. )
• Enchilada sauce ( Red or green at desired level of heat. )
Optional: Sliced black olives, both white and green parts of a green onion.
How to make:
Grill your dogs for that extra level of flavor.
Hear up the enchilada sauce.
Prepare your other ingredients.
Assemble:
Dip the tortilla in the heated enchilada sauce. ( This makes it more pliable. )
Add a hot dog, a tablespoon of the chilli, an one or twu ounces of cheese, and any of the optional choices.
Roll and place seam side down on a baking dish.
( You can use a toothpick to hold corn tortillas closed. But please remember to take them out before serving. Don’t let dinner become a trip to the emergency room.)
Repeat until baking dish is full.
Add Rotel to the remaining enchilada sauce and pour over each enchilada.
Add more grated cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
Sprinkle a few sliced black olives over the enchiladas.
Cover with aluminum foil and place in a preheated 350° oven for about 25 minutes. ( Ovens vary in temperature. So check at 20 minutes. If the enchilada sauce is bubbling, its hot enough.
Take the foil off and heat another 5 minutes completely melt the cheese. ( If needed. )
Remove from oven.
Sprinkle with the green part of green onions.
Let sit 10 minutes so doesn’t burn your mouth.
Serve
Add hot sauce to increase heat to the desired level.
I recommend trying the Chipotle Tabasco sauce for an added smoky flavor that goes well with the grilled hot dogs.
Enjoy
