From- Critic

  • 1½ cups- 2 cups chopped ham (I've even used lunch meat and still delicious)

  • 1/2t garlic powder
  • 1 small white onion, chopped
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
  • 2-3 Tablespoons soy sauce (more or less to taste)
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 Tbsp chopped green onions (optional, usually I don't have this)
  • 2-3 stalks of chopped celery- I've used this instead of green onions
  • salt and pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat a large skillet or wok to medium heat. Pour sesame oil in the bottom. Add white onion, chopped ham, peas and carrots and fry until tender.
  2. Slide the onion, peas and carrots to the side, and pour the beaten eggs onto the other side. Using a spatula, scramble the eggs. Once cooked, mix the eggs with the vegetable mix.

Easy BBQ Sauce

I used for cooking little smokies, but my hubby would love it cooked with chicken.

From Cooks

1 can Campbell's condensed tomato soup
1/3 c. Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. vinegar
2 tbsp. packed brown sugar
1 sm. onion, chopped
In one quart saucepan, combine soup, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, sugar and onion over medium heat. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low. Cook 10 minutes. Use to baste beef or chicken during broiling or grilling. Makes 1 3/4 cups sauce.

BBQ on the grill

Summer grilled hamburger

Adapted from Allrecipes

i love grilling in the summer.

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1-2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 eggs
1 T minced garlic or 2 cloves
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • pepper
  • 1 teaspoon mustard

Mix everything and pat into several patties. Between each patty put a piece of wax paper so they don't stick. Then put in refrigerator.

I like to top with tomatoes, pickles, mustard, ketchup, sauteed onions, lettuce and if I have avocado.  It can be hard to bite into b/c its so BIGGG!

I like to serve with Homemade fries, a salad, and grilled veggies (peppers, zucchini, squash, onions).
