meat

This is a very simple recipe that lets you cook your entire meal in the crock pot. And the good news is, you’re family will think you’re an amazing chef that slaved in the kitchen all day long. The only thing you probably want to add to this is a nice hot batch of Yorkshire puddings…and those are a snap to put together as well.

This sloppy Joe recipe uses ketchup, not tomato sauce, and it is the quickest one to prepare. So quick and easy, once you try this one you will wonder how you ever bought the sauce ready made before.

This is a slow cooking meat sauce, but this brings out more of the flavor, and, as kids love a sloppy Joe, why not take advantage and sneak some more vegetables in the sauce?

The dough for the sausage rolls would probably be made with flour, butter, eggs, water and salt, kneaded and left to rise. Chilled pizza dough, however, is a good enough substitute.

There is a traditional Italian wedding soup that uses some of the same ingredients as the minestrone. But it is much more focused on the meat than the vegetables.

Despite the large number of ingredients, preparation of this traditional soup from the north is really simple. All the work is in simply chopping and slicing the vegetables and the ham.
