Have any thoughts, comments or tips about Hamburgers?
1 lb. hamburger - thawed
2 tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 tbs. minced onion
1/2 tbs. oats (helps keep the hamburger together
2 tsp. garlic
1 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. salt
these amounts are approximate, because I usually do a Little bit of this and that! You can change this around for your liking as well.
Wash hands well, add all ingredients to bowl, smoosh it all around with your fingers to ix it well. Pull a hand full out and round it several times in your hands to make a good tight ball. Then smash it flat and round. Then freeze or cook until the middle is no longer pink or however you like your burgers.

Bourbon Chicken
Any comments, thoughts, or tips on the Bourbon Chicken?
2 lbs boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
1-2 tbs olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/4 tsp ginger
3/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes ( I used less because I don't know how hot different families like different foods)
1/4 cup apple juice
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 tbs ketchup
1 tbs cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 Heat oil in large skillet
2 add chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned.
3 remove chicken
4 add remaining ingredients, heating over medium heat until well mixed and dissolved.
5 add chicken and bring to a hard boil
6 Reduce heat and simmer for 20 min.
Serve over hot rice and Enjoy
when making it for freezer meals I bring to a hard boil and then take off heat and put in freezer bags. I let it simmer for 15-20 min. when reheating it to cook.
*only lightly brown the chicken, with the chicken cut in small pieces they cook fast so if you brown too long then by the time the sauce has thickened the chicken is way over cooked.

1 tsp chopped fresh sage or 1/4 tsp dried sage leaves
1/2 tsp salt

3 slices bread, torn into small pieces

Mix all ingredients except ketchup. Spread mixture in ungreased loaf pan . Spread ketchup over top. Bake at 350 for 1hr to 1hr 15 min. or until internal temp reads 160.
I used Italian flavored bread crumbs. I also left off the ketchup because I know that every one has a different pallet, even in my family. Top it how you please and enjoy!!

New Idea
Instead of everyone trying to post different thoughts on all the meals. Each month I will put in all the different meals (hopefully with the recipe) and then instead of everyone making different posts, you can just comment on the certain meals. Hopefully this will work out better and be easier to use so that we can share more information and use the blog more.
