Hearty Ranchero Pie
The title says it all for this recipe, hearty. Also, it's easy to make
and will please the family.
Ingredients:
* Filling:
* 1 1/2 lb extra lean ground beef
* 2 tbsp olive oil
* 1 small yellow onion, chopped
* 1/2 cup celery, thinly sliced
* 1 medium bell pepper, chopped
* 1/2 cup shredded carrots
* 1 tsp ground cumin
* 1 tsp chili powder
* 1 tsp salt
* 1/2 tsp black pepper
* 1 cup chopped tomatoes
* 1 cup kidney beans, cooked and drained
* 1/2 cup corn
* 3 eggs, beaten
* 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
*
* Top Crust:
* 2 1/2 cups water
* 1 cup yellow cornmeal
* 1 tsp salt
Method
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 8x11.5x2-inch baking dish with
nonstick cooking spray. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef in
the oil. Add onion, celery, bell pepper and carrots. Cook for 5
minutes over medium heat; drain liquid. To the mixture, add cumin,
chili powder, salt and pepper. Stir in the tomato, kidney beans, corn
and eggs. Pour mixture into baking dish, sprinkle with cheese and set
aside. In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Gradually add
cornmeal in a thin stream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. When
cornmeal is added, stir in salt. Continue cooking, whisking constantly
until it reaches the consistency of mashed potatoes, about 1 minute.
Spread mixture evenly over meat mixture in the pan and bake, uncovered
on the middle oven rack for 22-25 minutes or until crust is set.
Notes: This is a snap to assemble and makes a great week night,
all-in-one dish for busy cooks.

Mexican Meatballs Ingredients - 2 lb. lean ground meat*
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 small can chopped green chiles, drained
- 1 package taco seasoning
- 1 can enchilada sauce
- 1 can tomato sauce
- 1 cup grated cheddar and/or monterey jack cheese
*burger, chicken, turkey, venison, pork or a mixture of any of these. I use ground pork and ground venison Directions In one bowl mix ground meat, onion, green chiles and taco seasoning. Mix enchilada sauce and tomato sauce in another bowl. Form meat mixture into meatballs about the size of walnuts. There are 2 ways you can cook this. You can fry these in a small amount of oil on the stove, drain on paper towels, rinse out skillet. Return meatballs to skillet with enchilada & tomato sauce mix & simmer for 30-45 minutes. Then top with cheese. The other way you can cook these is to place meatballs in your crock pot and pour the enchilada and tomato sauce mixture over the meatballs. Cook for 4-5 hours on high. Top with the cheese in the last 30 minutes of cooking. This is wonderful! Enjoy! | |

3 tablespoons fajita seasoning
2 (1-pound) flank steaks
12 (6-inch) flour tortillas, warmed
Shredded Cheddar cheese
Pico de Gallo
Garnishes: lime wedges, fresh cilantro sprigs
Preparation
Combine Italian dressing and fajita seasoning in a shallow dish or
zip-top plastic bag; add steak. Cover or seal, and chill 8 hours,
turning occasionally. Remove steak from marinade, discarding marinade.
Preheat a two-sided contact indoor electric grill according to
manufacturer'<WBR>s instructions on HIGH. Place steaks on grill rack, close
lid, and grill 10 minutes (medium-rare) or to desired degree of
doneness. Remove steaks, and let stand 5 minutes.
Cut steaks diagonally across the grain into very thin slices, and
serve with tortillas, cheese, and Pico de Gallo. Garnish, if desired.

covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat (350° to 400°) for 8
minutes. Turn and grill 5 more minutes or to desired degree of

McCormick Fajita Seasoning.
