Menu Planning

 

I’ve only rearranged the schedule a million times in that last few days. I told the hubby that if his check is what I’m expecting we are spending a little extra just so I can do without hamburger. So sick of hamburger and guess what’s up this week?

Sunday was homemade pizza 

Monday Italian Goolash

Tuesday Baked potatoes with hamburger in some sort of sauce

Wednesday Hamburger Dip 

Thursday Chicken and potatoes

Friday probably hamburger again although it’s pay day (finally!)

Can I fit anymore hamburger into this menu????

It’s All Alton Brown’s Fault…

Sloppy Joes to make you forget the canned stuff

1 onion, cut up

1 teaspoon garlic

1 pound hambuger

Add 1 cup ketcup, 1 cup water with 1/4 cup brown sugar dissolved, and 1 tablespoon molasses. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and wait to thicken.

We actually fought over the leftovers-it’s that good
