The other day as I was doing some grocery shopping I noticed that boneless ribs were on sale and suddenly had a hankering. So I bought some up, went home and cooked them for dinner that night.
Here's what I did:
BBQ Ribs: A Crockpot Recipe
Ingredients
1 to 1.5 lb of boneless ribs
Seasonings to taste:
Lawry's Seasoning Salt
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Paprika
1 Bottle of BBQ Sauce of choice. I used Sweet Baby Rays' Honey BBQ Sauce
Directions
Season ribs and place them in crockpot. Cook on low for 2 hours. Cover with BBQ Sauce and cook on low for another 2-3 more hours or until done.
They were fantastic!

Quick and Easy Pizza
Last friday night I needed to cook up some ground beef, and I knew two things for certain. I did not want burgers and I did not want a pasta dish. So I choose pizza instead! And it turned out so yummy.
Here's the recipe.
Quick and Easy Pizza
Ingredients:
1 LB Ground Beef
1 Can Pillsbury Pizza Dough
1 Jar Pizza Sauce
2 Cups Mozarella Cheese
1/2 Small Onion Diced
1/2 Green Bell Pepper Diced
1/2 can Basil, Garlic and Orgeno Seasoned Diced Tomatoes (Drained)
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions:
Brown the ground beef with the diced onion. While cooking, season the beef with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Once the beef is done, drain if necessary, and then add your diced (or sliced if you choose) bell pepper, diced tomatoes and about 1/4 cup of the pizza sauce. While the meat mixture is simmering on low, roll out your dough and press into pan. Bake for 6 minutes. Pull the dough out of the oven and spread the remaining pizza sauce over dough, sprinkle all but about 1/2 cup of cheese over the sauce, spoon meat mixture over your dough and then sprinkle the remaining cheese over top. Place back in oven and bake for another 6-7 minutes or until dough is done.
All in all it took about 30 minutes to cook and used up ingredients that I tend to keep on hand. I love pizza and lately homemade pizza is the best! The taste is so much fresher and healthier. You can use whatever ingredients you like. I was going to toss on some mushrooms, but in the end it seemed like overkill so I left them off. But let your imagination and taste buds run wild.
Here's the recipe.

Poor Man's Stroganoff
It seems more and more, during the week, I do not have a whole lot of time to cook dinner. As in virtually none. So I end up cooking a lot of meals that are quick and easy and I'm always searching for the 30 minutes or less and 5 ingredients or less menus for the week days. I also do a lot of cooking on the weekend and saving up those lefts and reinventing them into something else through the week. (See yesterday's post where I talk about the fajitas.)
Well, last night was no different from any other night. I had little time, and I'd searched all day long for a quick easy recipe and just couldn't find anything that suited my taste buds. I knew I needed to cook up the ground beef that was in the fridge though. So that was my main ingredient. After much thought I decided that Poor Man's Stroganoff would do the job quite nicely.
I knew the ingredients I had on hand, and some of those needed cooking up as well. So bonus.
There are several recipes out there on the net for a Poor Man's Stroganoff. And now, here I am about to add one more. This is my version of Poor Man's Stroganoff.
Poor Man's Stroganoff
Ingredients:
1.5 Pd Ground Beef
1 Pd Mushrooms
½ Small Onion (I’m not a big onion eater so I use just enough as flavoring but not so much that it’s overwhelming. If you like onions by all means pour them on.)
1 tsp - minced garlic
¼ cup - butter
1 can - Cream of Mushroom
1 tbs - cream cheese
1 8oz container - low fat sour cream
Salt , Pepper, Paprika - All to taste
Egg Noodles
Saute the onion and garlic in a little bit of butter added ground beef, salt, pepper, and paprika to taste. In separate pan saute mushrooms with butter. Once done, add Cream of Mushroom soup, cream cheese, and sour cream. Cook until heated through and well combined. Pour mushroom mixture over the beef mixture and simmer on low for ten to fifteen minutes.
While beef is cooking, cook your noodles. Serve beef mixture over noodles with side of bread.
Another ingredient for me would have been to add a little bit of a hearty red wine to the mushrooms while they were sauteing. But since I did not have any, I left it out. If you like a runnier sauce you might want to add a little milk or more butter. Careful with adding more sour cream though; you can make the dish very bland that way.
If you try it let me know how it goes for you.
I took the picture using my iPhone camera so it's not the greatest. Oh and that's slices of loaf bread you see on the plate also. Hey, I was honest and told you it was Poor Man's Stroganoff...
