Menu Plan Monday 12/10 & Easy Pork Chops and Rice Recipe

On Sunday I put together & shopped for the next two weeks’ dinner plans.  It was easy to plan this far in advanced using the Plan to Eat online meal planner.  If you sign up we can share recipes; all the ones from my meal plans are in my online recipe book.

Last Monday I had Easy Pork Chops and Rice planned for yesterday.  This is a recipe that was taught to me by my Setp-Mom a long time ago.  I am sure you can also find it on the inside label of Campbell’s soup.

Easy Pork Chops and Rice

Ingredients: 

4 pork chops (can be bone-in or boneless just adjust cooking time for thickness)

1 can cream of mushroom soup

milk

1 can Beef Consume

1 cup of rice

2 Tbl butter

seasoning salt

salt & pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven 375º

Season pork chops with salt, pepper and seasoning salt.  Brown on both sides and place in a deep casserole dish.  (I use round corning ware dishes)

Prepare cream of mushroom soup as directed with milk and pour over the pork chops.

Add rice to another casserole dish with one can of consume and one can of water and two tablespoons of butter.

Cook both in oven for aprox one hour or until rice absorbs all liquid and pork chops are 160º

Easy Pork Chops and Rice

Menu Plan Dec 10th to Dec 16th

Mon: Night out

Tue: Pan-Seared Steak & Onions with Pepperjack Potatoes

Wed: Lasagna Soup with Easy Parmesan Knots

Thr: Oregon Fall Bacon & Cheese Studded Meatloaf* with Easy Beer Mac & Cheese

Fri: Slow Cooker Chicken Alfredo Lasagna with french bread

Sat: Left overs

Sun: Sweet & Spicy Bacon Chicken with Bacon Beer Cornbread

*I substituted shredded cheese for cheese curds because you have to live near or visit a cheese factory to get them.  I made this a couple of weeks ago and because it uses two pounds of meat I froze half of the uncooked mixture.  I will pull it out of the freezer and throw it in the oven.

Keep Calm and Cook On

Meal Plan Monday

As I discussed last Monday I use a meal planning program to plan out my meals for the moth or week.

The program I use is an online program that stores recipes and has a drag and drop style planner.  Once the meals are planned it generates a shopping list which you can edit and move items to a pantry list.  There are many other features that I really like; the ability to share recipes with other members, easy importing from websites or blogs, and many others.

If you want to learn more about it you can go to their site and try it for free or purchase a subscription today at 50% off!
