This is the runner-up in the you-decide-what-ground-beef-dish-I-should-cook poll. I actually made it the day after Baked Stuffed Cheese-Burger (can’t waste that ground beef!), but have not gotten around to posting it until today. You see, I’ve had a lot going on. Actually millions of things going on; I live in Maryland, which is ground zeroContinue reading 142. Meat Loaf Mexicali

180. Main-Dish Chowder
It is currently too hot for soup, but I am going to post about this anyway just to get it out of the queue. I’ll post something more seasonal next week. But here we go. I am fascinated by the dinners that are supposed to take all of an hour. Mostly because I almost ALWAYSContinue reading 180. Main-Dish Chowder
Better Homes & Gardens Barbecue Book: Whipped Butters
I know, you’re probably thinking. It’s December, why are you sharing a recipe from a barbecue cookbook? Well, kittens, these are an absolute treat. And they can be enjoyed anytime of the year. These are flavored, whipped butters that are equally delicious on steaks, baked potatoes, corn on the cob, or any sort of vegetable. IContinue reading Better Homes & Gardens Barbecue Book: Whipped Butters
Shirley Jones’ Mexicali Corn Casserole (Part II)
OK, I lied in my last post. I did take a picture of the finished casserole. I just used my phone and not my fancy-ass camera. So there it is. In all it’s corny, cheesy glory. Like I said yesterday, this was delicious. A real winner. Make it.
Twin Peaks Tuesday: Shirley Jones’ Mexicali Corn Casserole
For Memorial Day this year I went to not 1–but 2 Memorial Day barbecues. This is what I chose to make for the second party, to accompany hamburgers on the grill. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the 1984 Shirley Jones’ Favorite Holiday Recipe Cards courtesy of Ralph’s Grocery Company: I mean, it was aContinue reading Twin Peaks Tuesday: Shirley Jones’ Mexicali Corn Casserole
38. Baked Stuffed Pork Chops
Another full meal from Dinner is Served! I made this in January on some Sunday night when Todd and Leah came over. I cannot remember whether it was cold or not when I made it, but I think that pork chops call for cold weather. Or at least sweater weather. Which is why I findContinue reading 38. Baked Stuffed Pork Chops
Wiener Wednesday: Frank and Corn Crown
You may be saying to yourself, what? Huh? But I thought that Wiener Wednesdays were over! Well, you’re right. Wiener Wednesdays are over. But I realized that this week is the 1-year anniversary of Wiener Wednesdays, and since July is National Hot Dog Month, I felt obligated to somehow crown the achievement that was (almost*)Continue reading Wiener Wednesday: Frank and Corn Crown
Church Lady Cookbook Casserole Challenge: Cock-a-Doodle Casserole
We interrupt your Regularly Scheduled Programming (that being Wiener Wednesday) for this Special Presentation… In the tradition of the Knoxapocalypse comes the Church Lady Cookbook Casserole Challenge! A culinary smackdown featuring the best (gross and/or weird) casseroles that church, synagogue, and community association cookbooks have to offer. So, Brian from Caker Cooking, Erica from Retro RecipeContinue reading Church Lady Cookbook Casserole Challenge: Cock-a-Doodle Casserole
Lessons in Leftovers: Hot Corn Crab Artichoke Dip
Lordy, lordy, my darlings. It has been so long. Way too long. Brian is so ashamed by my lack of attention to Dinner is Served! that he can’t even show his face. In my defense, I started a new job at the beginning of May and it requires a lot more of my attention thanContinue reading Lessons in Leftovers: Hot Corn Crab Artichoke Dip
66. Carbonnade of Beef
Dinner is Served! you are a liar. Or, if not a liar, then very uninformed and poorly researched. I, having never tasted a carbonnade, wanted to do a background check on it. This sounded French to me. And I was right. Partly. The French definition, literally, is a dish of grilled meat. Which, yeah, this hasContinue reading 66. Carbonnade of Beef
86. Albondigas con Salsa Fria (Meat Balls With Cold Sauce)
First off, I want to point out how international Dinner is Served! has been recently: lasagna, goulash, chow mein, sauerbraten, chili con carne–and now #86, Albondigas con Salsa Fria. I didn’t realize how frickin’ global and cultured this box was when I first opened it. After a quick flip through the remaining cards, it looksContinue reading 86. Albondigas con Salsa Fria (Meat Balls With Cold Sauce)
23. Barbecued Chuck Roast, Frosty Melon, & the end of The X-Files
Are you here for Frosty Melon? You came to the right place! It’s just at the bottom of the post. Let’s go back to 2011…. I was hoping to do something X-Files themed for the final episode of the series, but it snuck up on us. I thought that season nine was a standard-length season,Continue reading 23. Barbecued Chuck Roast, Frosty Melon, & the end of The X-Files
57. Chicken Pot Pie
Greetings and Salutations! I haven’t served dinner recently because I was in Las Vegas last week. I will expound on the Vegas trip in my next post, but I will tell you this: it is a good thing that I made #57 and used my last whole chicken before I left for Sin City. Why?Continue reading 57.
