Making it S-T-R-E-T-C-H …. (Part 3 :)

Day #3

Potato Beef Hash is on the menu today!! 

Another flexible meal for the number of people you are serving.   I was serving 5 today and I used 3lbs of potatoes.  You can use more or less depending on what you need.  I typically figure about ½ lb of potatoes for each person.

The ingredients for this recipe are simple…  Potatoes, 2 cups leftover beef roast, 1 onion, salt and pepper.   Begin by scrubbing and cleaning and cutting up your potatoes and your onion (so they fit in your food processor)..

then using a food processor grate your potatoes.  While you are grating your potatoes also grate up your onion with them..

Put this into a large bowl and add your meat and salt and pepper and stir it up…


Heat a large frying pan or griddle to medium high.  When it is hot coat it with s olive oil.. 

Spread out a layer of the potato/meat mixture and let it cook until it is nicely browned..

I put a lid on it and cook it for about 5 minutes…

Then I turn it over and continue cooking it for about another 5 minutes, only this time without the lid..


If you have more potato mixture to cook up put the finished mix into the oven that is set on warm.. Cook up the rest of the mixture adding it to the finished hash in the oven…
 

When you are done it is time to eat!!  Serve with some catsup (at least for the kids) or salsa (for me and dad ;) and big green salad or green beans.. and enjoy!

    OH, I'm definitely going to try this. My dad and I actually made a different version of this the other day. We didn't want to go to the grocery store, so we just used what we had on hand. I've been really fortunate to buy large packages of hamburger meat...usually about three pounds...and they've always had a manager's coupon with them. So they work out to be less then $2 a pound. We divide them up into small portions, put them in plastic bags and put them in the freezer. It's been wonderful to have extra stored up. Any ways, we browned ground beef, then cubed the potatoes and cooked it all together with some butter. However, I'm going to give this a try. :) :) :) What a nice tasty meal and economical :) :) Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)

    Oooohhh that looks good. I'd be tempted to dump a bunch of homemade cheese sauce over the top!

Canning Chicken Noodle-less Soup

Today was one of those busy days that it seemed I was moving from the time my feet hit the floor until this evening.. But, I got so much done and that is a great feeling! :) One of my accomplishments today was canning 14 jars of chicken noodle-less soup. I call it “noodle-less” because you can’t can noodles. They end up falling apart. So I canned the chicken, veggies and broth. When I go to use the soup I will bring it to a boil and then add a handful of noodles (any type of pasta will work) and cook it until the noodles are done. Because I plan to add the pasta after the fact I wanted to make sure there was enough chicken broth to do this. So I only filled my jars about half to two thirds with chicken and veggies and then filled with chicken broth. Here is how I did this…. I started off with 2 chickens that were a total weight of about 10lbs. I put them in my 14 quart stock pot… I then added 2 gallons of water.. And 3 tablespoons salt.. I brought this

Canning Cabbage

I had 4 large heads of cabbage that weighted about 25 pounds. We had some really hot days and I figured I better get the last of them picked soon. My daughter Sierra and I ended up processing 3 of them yesterday and I have one left for a meal on my menu this week. I made pickled cabbage and then canned up the last of the cabbage. Here is the recipe for the pickled cabbage (according to how I made it)… 8 pounds cabbage 1 large onion 1 ½ red peppers 1 lb carrots ¾ cup salt 9 cups water 12 cups white vinegar 10 cups sugar 1t mustard seed 1t celery seed Slice cabbage thinly. Slice onion and peppers. Grate carrots. Mix all veggies together in a very large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and mix in well. Let sit for 2 hours to soften veggies. Rinse veggies well.  In a large stock pot (mine was 14 quarts) combine water, vinegar, sugar, spices. Bring to a boil. Add cabbage/veggies. Bring to a boil. Fill hot pint jars with veggies using a slotted spoon. Fill jar with brine to

Canning Beef Stew

In my last blog post I shared that I had bought 10 pounds of beef roast. I cut it all up and used 4 pounds in 2 crockpot freezer meals ( http://homesteadinghomemaker.blogspot.com/2012/02/two-more-crockpot-meals-for-freezer.html ) . I used the other 6 pounds of meat along with potatoes, carrots, onions and celery to can beef stew. Here were the general proportions I used in canning 7 quarts of beef stew.. 6# beef 2# potatoes 2# carrots 1# onions 1# celery After I cut up the meat and got the freezer meals done I moved to the beef stew. I peeled and cut up the potatoes and carrots. I chopped up the onions and sliced the celery. I pulled out 3 quarts of veggie stock from my freezer to use for liquid in the stew. You can use beef or chicken stock or you can use water. I did not add anything to thicken the liquid as usually thickeners don’t hold up in canning. You can thicken the broth after it is opened if you would like. I added 1 teaspoon salt to each of my
