    Week 20 Summary

    Notes for this week

    • For additional information about recipes, please visit the recipe post linked at the bottom of each recipe card.

    • Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya on Day 1 uses chicken, onions, and peppers from the freezer. If your stock is low, this would be a good time to cook extra and replenish it.

    • Easy Cheeseburger Pie on Day 2 uses ground beef from the freezer. Again—if your stock is low, this would be a good time to replenish it.

    • Crockpot Orange Chicken on Day 3 requires a bit of prep time, but unlike most crockpot recipes, it can be prepared 2-3 hours before mealtime. See the instructions for more information.

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 cups water
    • 10 oz Rotel tomatoes and green chilies
    • 15.5 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
    • 1 cup cooked chicken, chopped

    • 13 oz turkey kielbasa, cooked and cut in half lengthwise then cut into ½" slices
    • 1 chopped and sautéed green bell pepper
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Chop and sauté the onion and pepper.
    • Bring water and Rotel tomatoes and green chilies to a boil in a large pot.
    • Add black beans, cooked chicken, sautéed onions and peppers, and rice mix. Cover and return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer covered for 20 minutes.
    • In a skillet, sauté the sliced kielbasa until browned. Drain off grease and add kielbasa slices to the rice mixture, stirring gently. Continue cooking until the 20 minutes is up and the rice is tender. Serve immediately.

    Notes

    Notes: To reduce the amount of fat, drain the kielbasa in a colander and rinse with hot water before adding to the rice.
    If you have chopped and sautéed onion and pepper stocked in your freezer, use those to save time.

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 pound ground beef
    • 1 large onion, chopped
    • 4 ounces diced green chilies, optional
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
    • ½ cup Bisquick® mix
    • 1 cup milk
    • 2 eggs
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Heat oven to 400°F.
    • Sauté ground beef and onion until beef is cooked through.
    • Spread beef and onion in bottom of lightly greased 9-inch pie plate.
    • Sprinkle salt, green chilies, and cheese over cooked ground beef.
    • In a separate mixing bowl, stir remaining ingredients together until well blended.
    • Pour egg mixture into pie plate.
    • Bake 25 minutes or until bubbly.

    Notes

    Variations: Add Montreal Steak Seasoning for a punch of garlic and black pepper, or serve it with salsa, sour cream, and fresh cilantro for a southwestern flavor. I like to play around with various cheese for variety; Monterey Jack or Irish cheddar would give completely different flavors.

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 ½ pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
    • ½ cup all-purpose flour
    • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 6 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed (no pulp)

    • In a small bowl (or resealable bag), mix together flour, garlic powder, ginger, and cornstarch. Dredge (or shake) the chicken pieces in the flour mixture and shake off the excess. Discard remaining flour mixture.
    • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the chicken until thoroughly cooked. Place cooked chicken into the crockpot.
    • In a small mixing bowl, combine orange juice concentrate, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt, chili sauce, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes (adjust amount of sugar and red pepper flakes to taste). Pour sauce mixture evenly over the chicken, and toss gingerly to coat.
    • Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, or on high for about 2 hours. If sauce is too thick, add about ¼ to ½ cup prepared orange juice and stir. Cover and cook about 30 minutes more. Serve over rice.
