Again this is a good dish for a cold night. Men love this dish. It was something men order 75% more than women did. Just bread and butter with this for dipping in the gravy and your man will be thrilled.
6. BBQ Ribs (baby back) : messy, but guys love this. There number one choice with this for a potato choice was fries. I guess they like a dinner every once in a while where you eat everything with your hands. the vegetable to be served with this is corn on the cob , you guessed it, another eat with your hands food. This meal really brings out the primate in your guy. Easy to do at home you can either get the pre packaged with the BBQ sauce already on it or pick up a package of ribs and a bottle of BBQ sauce and pour the sauce (whole bottle) over the ribs before putting it in the oven. The trick to these ribs is slow cooking – 325 in the oven. You must cover the ribs with tin foil so they steam in the sauce. If you do not keep them covered they dry out quickly. Bake at 325 for two – two and 1/2 hours. The aroma fills the house.
7. Meat loaf : This is a real American dish. The choice for potato is mashed, with corn as a vegetable. It was 50-50 on what kind of corn, regular or creamed. I leave that up to you. Our meatloaf is delicious and easy to make. 2lbs of ground beef. 1/4 cup of Italian flavored bread crumbs, 1/4 cup of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of yellow mustard, and the secret ingredient, 1 tablespoon of steak sauce, like “A1”. and 1 egg. Mix all of this together in a bowl and then transfer to a baking dish and form into a loaf. Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 20 minutes. It is very good and when sliced thinner, it makes for some great sandwiches later.
8. Spaghetti and Meatballs: This is a a good with a salad and some fresh Italian bread. The sauce can be store brought. The meatballs are made of 2 lbs of ground beef 1/4 cup of bread crumbs (Italian Flavored) 1 egg. Mix in a bowl and roll small meatballs. Put on a cookie sheet (one that has a lip ) and bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Then take out the meatballs and drop them in your sauce. You can fry up pieces of cut bell pepper for added flavor and throw them in the sauce. Boil up your pasta and you have a great dinner.
9. Roasted Turkey : Just like a Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey, mashed potato, stuffing and corn. Men love this holiday treat anytime of year. It is easy to cook. It takes a few hours, but the outcome is worth it. Turkey sandwiches afterwords is an added bonus.
10. Pot Roast: Another all American dinner. The pot roast is easy, you can’t over cook it. I make mine in the oven now with one of those oven bags and pot roast seasoning that comes in the envelope. You put the roast, 6 potatoes, a bag of baby carrots, in the bag. Mix the seasoning in the envelope with water as directed and pour over the roast, potatoes, and carrots. Seal the bag and poke a few small holes in it and cook at 350 for 2 hours. The house smells like grandma is cooking.
