Dinner #15 & #16

Super yummy and super easy.  Everyone loved it except Lily, but she doesn't like pork so that's why.   That's how dinner went on the 15th.  It was even better because I didn't have to rush around all afternoon because baseball practice was cancelled.


Sweet & Sour Pork


1
lb boneless pork loin chops, cut into 1-inch cubes
1
egg, beaten
3/4
cup Original Bisquick® mix
1/2
teaspoon salt
1/8
teaspoon pepper
1/2
cup vegetable oil
1 1/2
cups frozen bell pepper and onion stir-fry (from 1-lb bag)
1
can (8 oz) pineapple chunks, drained
1
jar (11 1/2 oz) sweet-and-sour sauce 

1.    In medium bowl, toss pork with egg. In 1-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag, place Bisquick mix, salt and pepper; seal bag and shake to mix. Drain excess egg from pork. Place pork cubes in plastic bag; seal bag and shake to coat.

2.    In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Place pork in single layer in skillet. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown and crispy on outside and no longer pink in center. Drain on paper towels. Cover to keep warm.

3.     Reserve 1 tablespoon oil in skillet; discard any remaining oil. Add bell pepper mix and pineapple; cook over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in sweet-and-sour sauce and pork; heat to boiling. 


 Serve with rice and steamed veggies.  Better than Panda Express!


Ham & Cheese Tortilla Roll-ups

This is a good meal for when you have left over ham.  We always do.  It was really a no-brainer in preparation which is nice.  We had this with fruit and chips.


  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (6 ounces)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 1/4 cup sour cream1 can (11 ounces) Green Giant® Niblets® vacuum-packed whole kernel corn or Mexicorn® whole kernel corn with red and green peppers, drained
  • 10 Old El Paso® flour tortillas (6 inches in diameter)
  • 10 slices (1 ounce each) deli fully cooked ham
  • Cilantro sprig, if desired
    • Mix cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream and corn.
    • Top each tortilla with 1 slice ham. Spread 2 tablespoons corn mixture over ham. Top with cilantro. Roll up. 

    I left out the corn because I don't like corn except from a cob, but they were still yummy.  Bon appetite!
