In my previous post I baked some turkey meatballs as a nice appetizer idea for Super Bowl Sunday and they were so good my husband wanted more! This time I used the same recipe but with ground pork and a nice side of Swedish meatball sauce to go with it.
Beef Stew Slow-Cooked in Beer, Carrots and Potatoes
Beer is a great addition to stews. It’s a simple way to create a great sauce without adding too many other ingredients. I used a lager beer but feel free to use any kind. The stew is cooked on low heat so make sure you’re home long enough to check up on it!
Herb Pork Chops – Served on a bed of Mushrooms and Arugula
Today I really felt like making a meat dish. The weather is getting colder, perfect for some comforting pork chops!

Serving this on a bed of mushrooms and arugula (or other greens like spinach, kale) make for a healthy side dish.
Cheeseburger with Hand-Chopped Beef, Pan-Fried to Crispy Perfection
If you’re planning on making a burger for Labor Day but don’t have a grill, try this pan-fried version. My burger is simple and only uses a few ingredients. The recipe is adapted from Serious Eats which has a great section on burgers called A Hamburger Today.
