Korean Beef

This is becoming one of our family favorites.  It's really quick and simple.  The hardest part is mincing the garlic cloves.  I found the recipe on Pinterest. The original post is here . 1 pound lean ground beef 1 Tablespoon sesame oil 3 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 - 1/2 cup brown sugar (I like it sweet so I usually do closer to 1/2 cup) 1/4 cup soy sauce (I use low-sodium) 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced ( see note ) 1/2 - 1 teaspoon crushed red peppers (to desired spiciness) salt and pepper 1 bunch green onions, diced (don't skip this!) Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown hamburger with garlic in the sesame oil. Drain most of the fat and add brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, salt and pepper and red peppers. Simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Serve over steamed rice and top with green onions.

Petite Lasagnas

I made these for our "Super bowl party". Tyler loves lasagna but I really don't like making it. This was a great substitute. I was leary of the wontons, but it really worked out. Kenny liked it that I let them bake for awhile so the tops of the wontons got crunchy. And...I am lazy and I didn't make the sauce from scratch, I just used bottled pasta sauce. But this give you an idea of you can work with. There are additional pictures of how to put them together here . (makes 12) 12 oz raw ground turkey (I used a pound of hamburger, it doesn't matter) � tsp salt, divided � tsp pepper 1 cup chopped onion � cup chopped mushrooms 14.5 oz can crushed tomatoes, or tomato sauce 2 cloves garlic, minced 3 tsp dried oregano, divided � tsp dried basil 1 � cups part skim ricotta cheese 24 small square wonton wrappers (the kind near the tofu in the refrigerated section of the produce dept) 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese Preheat oven to 375�F.

Meat Loaf

Meat loaf. Beat loaf. I hate meat loaf.  I think I remember complaining whenever Mom made meatloaf but then scarffing it right up.  It took me well into my adult years to figure out I actually like it even though I've been eating it all along.  And it's easy.  Just think of it as a low-carb hamburger.  This isn't how Mom makes hers but I sure like it. 17 saltines, crushed fine (about 2/3 cup) 1/4 cup milk 3 T Worcestershire sauce 1/3 cup minced fresh parsley (or less, or none at all) 1 1/2 T  Dijon mustard 1 large egg 1 tsp onion powder 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper Salt and pepper 1 1/2 lbs meat loaf mix (I never buy that, just ground beef for me) Mix everything in a bowl but the meat.  Then add the meat. (This is where I deviate from the recipe.  It actually instructs to shape into mini-loaves and fry on the stove. The oven is easier) Then mold it into a loaf shape and place in a pan. Cover in ketchup just like Mom did. ...
