Meal 2: Ashley makes stuffed turkey burgers


Ingredients:

1 lb ground turkey
1 jar fire roasted red peppers
1 package mozzarella cheese
1/2 yellow onion
garlic powder

2 large sweet potatoes
olive oil
salt and pepper


How it's done:

1. Cut up sweet potatoes to desired size

2. Mix fries in salt, pepper and olive oil
3. Bake at 425 for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through

1. Grate onion into ground turkey. Add (eyeball it) garlic powder.
Note: I did not use the entire half of the onion.
2. Divide into three equal parts. Split each part into two rounds.
3. Put mozzarella cheese and diced red peppers into the center of one round and place the other on top. Seal the edges.
4. Grill for about five minutes on each side.




Result:

  • The meat was flavorful and moist, but adding worchestire sauce would be tasty!
  • 1 lb was not enough meat. Buy more turkey so that there is enough room to add more cheese and peppers in the middle!
  • Not bad for a first try!
  • Overall: Good!

Meal 1: Sarah makes Pot Roast

We forgot to take a picture, so I have posted a picture of the chef instead.

Ingredients:

2lbs chuck
4 carrots
2 red potatoes
1 can pineapple
1/2 onion
1 package onion soup mix
2 cups water

How it's done:

1. Cut up veggies to desired size
2. Coat chuck with flour
3. Put ingredients (with potatoes on the bottom) into crock pot. Add water and soup mix and cook for 6 plus hours.
4. For gravy, add thickening agent of choice to water and add juice from the crock pot.

Result:

  • Tender meat.
  • Tasty veggies.
  • Could use a bit more seasoning because of the volume of liquid.
  • Super easy!
  • Overall: good!
