My daughter will generally eat these right up. With the barbecue meatloaf, you can add just about any kind of vegetable you like to it, and it will still be good. I just fixed the Chicken Divan last night for the first time, and I told my daughter that the broccoli was green spice, and she bought it and ate broccoli for the first time.
Chicken Divan
5 chicken breasts, cut up
bag of chopped frozen broccoli
egg noodles
1 can of cream of chicken
1 can of cream of broccoli
1 can of broccoli cheese soup
Shredded cheddar cheese
Cut up the chicken breasts and put it in a stockpot with the broccoli and water. Bring it to a boil, then add the egg noodles. Cook until it's all done and then drain. Mix in the soups and a handful of cheddar cheese and stir until well mixed. Pour in a casserole dish and top liberally with cheddar cheese. Back in the oven until the cheese is crispy and brown. It's very good and very, very easy.
Barbecue Meatloaf:
1.5 pounds of ground beef or turkey
2 eggs
1 cup of oats oats (it doesn't matter whether its the old fashioned or the quick cook ones; you can also use breadcrumbs)
About half an onion, finely chopped
1 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
Beat the eggs and pour them over the ground meat. Add the oats and onion. In a separate bowl, mix the barbecue sauce and the teriyaki sauce. Add about half to the meat mixture. Mix it up with your hands (a spoon doesn't seem to get it mixed as well). Form it into a loaf and put it in a lightly greased loaf pan. Add the rest of the barbecue sauce on top, along with some onion, if desired.
Smothered pork chops
Two onions
Four pork chops, boneless
Pork gravy
Shake 'n Bake (If I don't have Shake 'N Bake, I make my own with some bread crumbs and seasonings that I like)
1 tablespoon of oil (I used olive oil)
Cut the onions like you would for onion rings and toss in oil. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat the pork chops according to the instructions on the box. Layer them in the pan and top with the onions. Bake 30 minutes, then pour gravy over the top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 15 more minutes. This is excellent. My little girl loved it.
Oven fried chicken:
Four or five chicken breasts (Or however many you need to fix. You can also cut a whole chicken for this)
Two eggs
Cup of flour
Paprika
Chili powder
Salt
Pepper
Preheat over to 350 degrees. Place a little butter or margarine in a casserole dish and place in the oven. Allow it to get hot. Place flour, paprika, chili powder salt and pepper in a plastic baggie. Break eggs over chicken and mix with your hands. Sprinkle the spices over the chicken and egg mixture and mix again. Place the chicken in the baggie. Seal it and mix it up over and over again to coat the chicken in the flour. Put the chicken in the hot pan and allow to cook for 20 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side for 20 minutes. This is also really, really good. And, if you want, you can use oil in the dish instead of butter or margarine.
