While there are hundreds of boxed
meals that can be prepared in a
skillet, with a minimum amount of
work, you can create your own
skillet meals at home.
Macaroni and cheese is a wonderful
base for many of these, but there
is no limit to the kind of foods
that can be cooked in a skillet.
Some of the most tender barbecue
ribs I have ever made were made in
an electric skillet, at the time I
had no oven.
I boiled the ribs in beer, cooking
removes the alcohol, then put them
in an electric skillet, brushed
them with barbecue sauce turned
the skillet to simmer and put the
lid on.
I let them cook for about 5 hours,
checking occasionally to make sure
they were not burning, and adding
sauce as they were turned. They
were delicious, and fall of the
bone tender, give it a try
sometime, you will love them!
Now back to the macaroni and
cheese, while cooking the
macaroni, brown hamburger in a
skillet add a can of chili, when
the macaroni is done add the
cheese then stir into the
hamburger chili mix.
Its called Chili-mac and a
favorite of even the most
discriminating family members!
This is a little trick I learned
from a true Texan, just open a
small package of Fritos and add
chili to the bag, only one skillet
used for the chili and no dishes
to wash.
Give everyone a spoon; they will
love it for camping and outdoor
parties. Left over roast can make
a wonderful one skillet mean, just
cut the roast in small pieces, add
bouillon for flavor, add water and
cook in the skillet until the meat
is tender, add vegetables and cook
until they are done and the water
cooks away.
Left over pork steak is excellent
when rolled in flour, and fried in
olive oil; add water and rice to
the mixture, the flour on the pork
creates wonderful gravy for the
rice.
