I love a good steak and potato. I like to get a porterhouse cut 1 1/4 inches thick. Coat with crushed pepper black pepper and salt lightly. Use a charcoal grill if available. After the coals are hot I throw water soaked apple twigs or alderwood on the coals.

I have a grill basket that works great for stir frying veggies over the coals and adds a wonderful flavor. Simple clean up too. Once the veggies are half done throw your steaks(s) on the grill and sear each side. It takes about 5 minutes each side with the cover on the grill to get to rare and another couple to medium rare. (The only two ways to enjoy a good steak)

For the veggies I like to use new potatoes, small zucchini, grape tomatoes, onions, peas in the pods and green beans, but any will do. I spray them with oil likely and toss before putting on the grill. Never spray directly once on the grill of you will have a flare up. Then lightly season with your favorite seasoning.

With this you can serve a potato baked in the microwave and everything including clean up can be done in about 1/2 hour.

Enjoy.

I'm having jacket potatoes one with tuna, mayonaise and chives and the other with beans and cheese. Simple, tasty, comfort food for a cold winter nite. xx

If you have little ones at home this is a good one. My son loved it....

Well... I had that same problem earlier today.
I am making old fashioned meat loaf with mashed potatoes and green beans tonight.
The secret to my meatloaf is I add green peppers, onions, garlic, basil, and whatever seasoning I desire and saute them all together with a little olive oil. I take eggs usually 2 per pound of ground beef and bread crumbs and the sauted mix together and place it on a cookie sheet not a loaf pan pour the ketchup sauce on top and bake it at 350 for about an hour.
I make my sauce with mostly ketchup, brown sugar, a little bit of mustardand a little worchestor sire sauce. I combine it in a sauce pan over medium heat until the brown sugar is dissolved. Taste it and add what you think it needs.
To make mash potatoes really creamy add some cream cheese with the butter and milk when mashing and use a mixer if you have one.
I always take a recipe from online and switch it up... Be creative and don't follow the direction perfectly and make it your own.
Good Luck!!!
