Salmon All in One Meal

Image
I created this meal tonight because I didn't have time to stay home and cook, but I needed to cook the fresh salmon before it went bad. So I did some thinking of how I could do this in the crockpot.  I wasn't sure what to expect with my creation, but it was FABULOUS!  This meal could be easily done on the stove top as well if you don't have a crock pot. Ingredients: 1 can of Diced Fire Roasted Tomatoes with Green Chili's  (If you can't find one of these, you can use a can of diced tomatoes and a small can of green chili's. If you can't find the green chili's then just use 1 jalapeño pepper --seeds make it very hot. If you don't like hot hot, take out the seeds from the pepper) 1 green bell pepper diced 1 small sweet onion diced 2 medium white sweet potatoes peeled and diced 1 pound Wild Salmon All purpose seasoning salt Directions: Put the can of diced tomatoes, green pepper, onion,  sweet potatoes in the crock pot with

Grandma's Meatloaf

Having a wonderful meatloaf recipe is something I think everyone should have in their recipe box. It's a true comfort food on a cool and rainy fall day. I like serving mashed potatoes and greens with meatloaf. Leftovers taste great for an easy weeknight meal, and you can make meatloaf sandwiches for lunch. I got this recipe from my grandma, who got this recipe from her friend Beverly. It's easy and delicious. I use a "meatloaf pan" because it allows the grease to drain out while it is cooking, but a 9x5 baking pan works well also.  Ingredients: 2 lbs. ground beef 1 egg 1/4 cup ketchup 1 1/2 tsp. worcestershire sauce 1 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 cup chopped onion 2/3 cup oatmeal 1/3 cup water Directions: Mix all ingredients together and put in loaf pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Enjoy!

Hey friends! Check out this soup I made today. Tomato soup has always been a favorite of mine. I chose to put cream in this soup, but it also tastes wonderful with out cream. I also cooked this in my crock pot. If you don't have a crock pot, you can simply make this on the stove top as well. Ingredients: 53oz box of chopped or strained tomatoes.
