Salisbury Steaks

2 lbs. ground meat (I use turkey)
1 egg
Splash of Worcestershire sauce
Ground mustard powder
Onion soup mix
Dried minced onions
Bread or cracker crumbs
Salt and pepper
Italian seasoning

Sauce/gravy:
1 can cream of mushroom
3/4 c water
Splash of milk

Preheat oven to 350.  Combine meat and seasonings.  While I didn't measure how much I put in the mixture, I just added what looked good.  Mix all ingredients together.  Heat frying pan.  Shape meat into oval and brown top and bottom of patty.  Lay on greased 9x13 pan.  Make gravy by mixing ingredients together.  If you want it thinner, add more milk.  Spread gravy on browned patties.  Cover and bake for 30 minutes.  Makes 10 patties.

Asian Pasta

Chicken sausage
Green and red bell pepper
Onion
Pineapple (optional)

Sauce:
1/4 c soy sauce
1/4 c water (could also use pineapple juice)
1 T brown sugar
1 T rice vinegar
1/2 T sesame oil
1/2 T fresh grated ginger
Minced garlic
1 T cornstarch
Drizzle of honey

Boil pasta.  Chop onion, peppers.  Saute in teriyaki sauce.  Add chicken sausage.  Make sauce while meat is simmering. 

To make your ginger teriyaki glaze: in a small saucepan over medium-high heat combine the following: soy sauce, water, sugar, rice vinegar and sesame oil, stirring often until sugar fully dissolves. Then add in your ginger and garlic. Drizzle honey into mixture.  Next, in a small bowl combine your cornstarch and enough water to just cover the cornstarch. Stir rapidly with a fork until fully combined. Then, add cornstarch mixture to saucepan. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer for approx. 2 mins until sauce is thickened. Remove from heat set aside.

Serve meat and pepper mixture over pasta or rice.  Drizzle with sauce.
