Med. Pork Roast
4 lbs. Shredded cheese (I used the Mexican blend)
2 Large cans green enchilada sauce
28-30 Corn tortillas
*oil for frying* (optional)
I put the roast in the crock pot until fully cooked. I then cut/shredded it. I mixed the pork, 2 lbs, of cheese and about half the first can of enchilada sauce. Nathan likes the tortillas lightly fried before being rolled up, so I did that in canola oil, but that step can be skipped. Then put a large spoonful of the meat mixture in each tortilla and roll. Pour remaining sauce over top of rolled enchiladas and sprinkle remaining 2 lbs of cheese over everything. I cover with foil and put in the freezer at that point. When ready to cook, it takes about an hour at 350 degrees.
The chicken-fried pork recipe I got from the Pioneer Woman Cookbook. She uses steak, but I tried that once and wasn't thrilled. I've tried chicken, pounded very thin, and it's wonderful. This is the first time I've tried the pork, so I hope it turns out okay!
Finally, the last of my cooking for today, mighty mini meatloaves. After spending hours cooking the freezer meals, I wasn't in the mood to eat either of those, so I whipped up a batch of mini meatloaves.
Mighty Mini Meatloaves:
1 egg ¾ c. buttermilk ( I never have buttermilk on hand, so I mix ¾ milk w/ ¾ Tbsp white vinegar to make my own)
1 ½ c. cheddar cheese, shredded
½ c. oats
½ onion, chopped
2 tsp. Italian Seasoning
1 tsp. garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 lb. lean ground beef
½ c. ketchup
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a muffin tin. In a bowl, beat the egg and buttermilk, stir in the cheese, oats, onion and spices. Add beef and mix well. Fill muffin wells, making individual loaves. Combine ketchup and Worcestershire sauce and spoon over mini loaves. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until done.
Wow! That's a lot of meals. Thanks for posting the enchilada recipe. I'm going to give it a try. The chicken-fried pork recipe sounds yummy, too. I'll have to track down a copy of that book again.
