Breakfast Burritos

I made these last weekend and they turned out really good. 1/2 pound of sausage Hashbrowns (I use O'brien cubes with onion and peppers in it) Chopped onion & pepper if using different hashbrowns. (I will cut up extra onion and pepper and throw together in a freezer zip lock bag. Use any amount when needed for saute) 4-5 eggs, whipped Shredded cheese (1/2 lb) Tortillas Salsa In a skillet, brown sausage until almost done, add hashbrowns with onion & peppers. I added about 2 tsp. Olive oil at this point to keep the hashbrowns from sticking. Finish cooking until hashbrowns are mostly soft. Add whipped eggs and cook until done. Top with cheese and cook another minute until melted. Mix all together and serve in hot tortillas with salsa.

Beef Roast

1 4-5 pound Roast 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 packet of Italian dressing mix. 1 lb. carrots, peeled and chopped 2-3 potatoes, peeled and chopped Cook Roast, soup and mix on low for 3 hours. Add potatoes & carrots and continue cooking on low for another 5 hours. Juices make a good gravy for potatoes and meat. Can make thicker gravy if you like.

Chunky Salsa

Randy's grandma gave us this salsa the other day and I can tell you it is too much of a temptation for me. She got this from Aunt Beth who got it for Christmas. Merry Christmas to me, it was delicious. The salsa itself is pretty good for you. It is the half a bag of chips I ate with it, not so good. Plus I was eating it when I wasn't even hungry. Still I am passing this along because you all need to try it. You'll love it. Combine all ingredients. This will store in fridge for 3 days (if it lasts that long). 2 each 14-15 oz cans of diced tomatoes with garlic and onion 2 each of fresh tomatoes diced 1 can shoepeg corn (green giant packs it) 1 small can of chopped olives 1 small can of diced green chilies (use all or part, according to taste) 1 thinly sliced green onions 1/3 chopped /diced white or yellow onion 2 fresh avocado chopped or diced 1/2 cup of Italian dressing Juice of fresh lime 1/2 bunch of fresh cilantro chopped (use as much or as little as you like) red chili p...

Meatball Subs

Shape into walnut-sized balls and place on a cookie sheet. Cook meatballs: either bake at 400 for 20 minutes or so, or, microwave until done-- it takes about 8 minutes in my microwave. (May freeze at this point by placing meatballs on a foil-lined cookie sheet and freezing. After frozen, remove from cookie sheet and place into zip-top bag.) Place meatballs in crockpot and cover with sauce. Cook on low for 4-6 hours. To make subs: place meatballs and sauce on buns, top as desired, and enjoy! Optional: I like to toast t...
