 Hey guys, welcome back to another week of what's for dinner. My name is Andrea with food and entry adventures in food in My household. There's me my husband and our adorable one-year-old little boy Okay, so all this week. I am trying to use up stuff from my freezer fridge and pantry So in my skillet here, I have let me show you the package I have this beef smoked sausage that I cut up and then I just browned it in the skillet. It's fully cooked And so I did drain out some of the fat and then to it I am just adding some barbecue sauce how it and I really like this barbecue sauce a lot And I'm just gonna let this simmer and kind of thicken up a little bit Okay, so here's our plate. Here is the sausage and it is very tasty, of course Serving it with some canned green beans and then also some macaroni and cheese I had everything of course on hand. Here is the macaroni and cheese that I'm using. It is from Aldi So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we'll see y'all next time So we are eating from our freezer tonight. We are having an h e b Sesame chicken frozen meal. It is really good. How did I like these meals a lot? And so with it, I just made some fried rice. I've talked about this fried rice a lot on our channel Really like it and I made it according to package directions So you just need cold rice and egg Green onions bacon and then the keekoman sauce and here it is. It looks like it came from a restaurant So quick and easy dinner tonight and we'll see you guys next time Hey, so I am trying out a new recipe today. It is from one of my old cookbooks I think this is 1983 Better Homes and Gardens I think I got this like in an antique shop or something But the recipe that I'm going to be trying out is this layered meat and potato pie And so I've got everything that I need for it And I was looking for this recipe online could not find it anywhere So I'm just going to write it out for you guys or type it up for you guys I should say One thing I wanted to make mention of is that it calls for a fourth of a cup of onion soup mix Which is if you don't know this stuff right here And so it comes with two envelopes and so I open up one envelope and as you can see it's a little less than a fourth of a cup So I guess over the years they have downsized how much of this onion soup mix was in the packages So anyway, um, let's get started Okay, so I've got my oven preheating to 350 degrees and in my bowl. I have a pound of Lean ground beef to that. I'm going to add some milk And then I'm going to add the um onion seasoning mix now I will say I was a little bit hesitant about this recipe because it calls for you to Put the raw meat directly into the pie Shell I've never done that before with raw meat. So Um, I'm hoping that it turns out okay and that that bottom crust isn't soggy So I'm just mixing this up here And I saw a bunch of recipes in this old cookbook that I want to try So I will be trying those out over the next Few weeks and we try about a bunch of Bunch of different recipes Okay, so I've got one of my pie crust In the pie pan and I'm using the Pillsbury pie crust. So I've got one in there I'm just gonna take the meat and put it in the bottom of the Pan here And I'm just gonna spread it around Okay, I'm gonna set this aside and then work on the potato portion Okay, so I've got my hash browns here. These are frozen hash browns that I let completely thaw To that I'm going to add some butter And that's just potato right there in case you're wondering And I'm going to add some fresh parsley And some salt And give it a good stir And now I'm just going to add this potato mixture to the top of the pie So now I'm just taking my other crust and then I am laying it right on top And then I'm going to crimp my edges together And then I'm just going to cut some slits in the top of the pie so that it can breathe And I'm going to bake this for about an hour or until it's nice and golden brown Okay, so here is the pie. I let it cook for about an hour and 10 minutes Let me try to get closer so you can see it And so the hash browns, how did I tasted it? The hash browns kind of taste like mashed potatoes I was afraid they would be dry and they're not they're really good Serving it with some green pink green beans that I just sauteed and some olive oil and season them And then here is the entire pie right here And I really like it. I was kind of afraid of how it would turn out Because I've never cooked raw meat in a pie crust before And I just didn't know what to expect, but it's good. The bottom of the crust is completely done Flaky delicious like I said the potato portion the hash browns tastes like mashed potatoes I thought they might be dry because there was only you know, just butter in them But they are really good. I would definitely make this again So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we'll see y'all next time Hey, so for dinner tonight, we are eating from our pantry and I had this in my pantry never tried it before It is a cooking sauce from h e b which is a grocery store. That's here in texas All you do is add chicken to it in the sauce and then you add pasta So I had this in my pantry and then I had half a package of this linguine in my pantry So I use that leftover green beans from the other day And then we are also having some garlic knots that I cooked in my air fryer. These are from Aldi and They are actually really good. My first time buying these was recently and I had these I don't know maybe a week ago. I can't remember exactly when I had them for the first time And I am surprised at how good they really are you get six knots in there and they are super tasty I would definitely buy them again So this is what we are having for dinner tonight and we'll see y'all next time So it was an absolutely beautiful day here in texas high of 82 degrees right now It's about 79 how I decided he wanted to grill So on the grill we've got some brisket hot dogs Okay, so here's our plate. I had some leftover chili in the freezer from when we had chili dogs over the summer So we're having that along with some cheese. There's cheese underneath the chili and on top of the chili We're also trying to finish off some doritos These spicy white cheddar doritos. They're okay. Not a lot of flavor I probably would not buy them again. They're the organic kind and here's a close-up of the hot dogs Here is what the packaging looks like from the hot dogs. They are from h e b A grocery store here in texas. Let me flip it over They're brisket hot dogs so you can see beef water and then brisket ends are the third ingredient So we are looking forward to giving these a try So this is what we're having for dinner tonight and we'll see y'all next time
