MICROWAVE MEATLOAF

I know sounds crazy right! Try it on a google search, everyone know about this one cause it works so well.

1 1/2 lb. ground beef
2 c. soft bread crumbs or
saltine cracker crumbs softened with 2 tbl spn milk
1/2 c. chopped fine celery
1/2 c. finely chopped onion
1/4 c. finely chopped green pepper
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 beaten egg
1/2 c. catsup

Combine the above ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Mix well and pat evenly in a large pyrex pie dish, leaving a hole in the middle of at lease three inches. It should look like a meat donut. . Brush meatloaf with either catsup or bbq sauce your choice. Microwave at medium high for 25-35 minutes. Because of the different powers of microwaves keep an eye on the first one you'll know its done when the sides pull away from the dish. Pour off liquid and let stand covered with foil for 5 minutes.


Well good luck! and Bon Appetit!

Answer 2

Fire and Ice Salad:
Ingredients:

6 ripe tomatoes, sliced
1/4 pound quarter inch Feta cubes (You could also use cubed Mozzarella, or cheddar, or jack cheese.)
1 cucumber, seeds removed and cubed
1/2 cup pitted black and/or green olives, wedged

For the Dressing:

1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar (you can also use the dark balsamic - I just think this looks better)
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoons fresh oregano
Use a wire whisk or put in glass jar with good fitting lid and shake well..

If you have a stove you could boil up some pasta to add to this salad. To give the salad more substance you could also add a canned beans (green, kidney, garbanzo, and/or wax beans).

ENJOY :O)) Happy dining.

Answer 3

If you're going to be ovenless for a while, hit the Salvation Army for a toaster oven (I paid $5 for mine). You can use it to make pizza, bake chicken, do french fries, fish, nachos, all kinds of goodies.

If you just want snacks, you can still do lots of good stuff like instant puddings, jello made with milk & fruit, frozen desserts, Fried chicken in a skillet, ditto fish/meat/omelets, and if you search "no-bake cookies" on the web you'll get thousands of hits.

I went 6 months without an oven cuz we couldn't afford one; now I don't use it all that much cuz it makes the house hot.

Answer 4

The house we lived in before this one used to really get hot in the summer, with the afternoon sun beating down on the living room windows. So I bought a toaster oven and put it on the back porch. I would use that in the summertime in place of heating up the oven. When we hit our max on salads, we'd have things like meatloaf and baked potatoes cooked on the toaster oven on the back porch so the house stayed as cool as it could. I do the same thing in this house but I've also added a two-burner hot plate on the porch so we can even have stir-fry on the hottest day. There's always a breeze on the back porch and it's in the shade so I don't get hot cooking out there. But as far as recipes go, you can cook up ground beef in the morning with diced onions, add taco seasoning to it, and have Taco Salads for dinner. Or fix the meat in the morning with the taco seasoning and onions and put back in the fridge until dinner. Take a skillet and a flour tortilla, add a tablespoon of oil to the skillet and heat it. Place the tortilla down flat in the skillet to make it soft. Flip it over and fill it with things like the cold meat mixture, shredded cheese, diced green chilies, sliced olives guacamole and sour cream. Put that on one side only and fold it over. By that time the bottom is browned so cover with something to keep it warm as you make more. We found one is plenty per person unless you have a big eater. And you can add or remove whatever you want in yours. You can change the cheese from cheddar to cojack or mozzarella or whatever you want. No oven needed. You can even fold it like an envelope instead of folded in half to seal everything in if you wish but I just fold it in half and it works for me. If it's not hot outside, you can add a step by putting it on warm in the oven to help melt the cheese. But on hot days - don't worry with that part. You could even plug a crock pot on the back porch and slow-cook a meal out there. Hope that helps.
