I smoked the stuffed pork chops and added the left over noodles/veggies from last night topped with shredded Moz and Provolone cheese. I cooked the chops first then added the leftovers, 20 minutes later I added BBQ sauce and cheese. 
 
This was delicious!

Along with the Hasselback Au Gratin Potatoes I made some Salisbury Steak in Onion Gravy.
I love a good Salisbury Steak, a nice hearty lunch for the family.

This recipe makes some good meatballs too, regular or breaded.

Salisbury Steak

4lb ground beef
3 eggs, beaten
1C bread crumbs
1.5t granulated garlic
1.5t granulated onion
(*not used if making onion gravy*)
3T Ketchup
1.5T each Mustard and Worcestershire sauce
Mix well, form into twelve patties and refrigerate if not cooking immediately.
Cook all ground beef to a safe IT, 165°.

Onion or Mushroom Gravy

In a large frying pan caramelize 2C of chopped onion or mushrooms, set aside.
After cooking patties, reserve 1/2C drippings.
Combine 1/4C flour, 2C beef broth, 2t ketchup and Worcestershire sauce, add to drippings and whisk well.
Bring to fast simmer and hold for 3-4 minutes to cook the flour.
Lower heat and add 2C beef broth and whisk well.
Add onions or mushrooms and stir to combine.
Slowly simmer for about 5 minutes.
Add salt to taste.
Add as many patties as will fit in pan with gravy and simmer for 5 minutes.

this recipe looks good. one question, 1.5t granulated garlic with lower case "t" is teaspoon? and 3T Ketchup with an upper case "T" means tablespoon?
 
i usually see most people use tsp & tbsp.
 
 
:cheers:

Lolz, everytime I see 1.5t or 3T I register tons or tonnes. 1.5 tons is a lot
Pretty standard abbreviations for those units of volume in cooking.

Volume
teaspoon (also t or tsp.)
tablespoon (also T, tbl., tbs., or tbsp.)

Chowda Cajun style
 
I started with all the usual suspects, diced onion, celery, carrot and had to throw my Cajun influence in it with the Tasso I made last weekend. I used 3 of the small cans of diced clams and saved the juice for broth. What's not in this pic is the 51-70 peeled shrimp and seasoning.
100-5605.jpg

Olive oil in the pot and dumped it all in to get soft, the tasso is already cooked so it's all flavor at this point.
100-5607.jpg

Cook it till soft then dump in potatoes.
100-5608.jpg

After a few minutes of cooking add 3 TBS of flour to make a roux/thickener.
100-5610.jpg

Cook to combine then add the clam juice.
100-5614.jpg

simmer for 10 minutes, add the shrimp then the heavy cream.
100-5619.jpg

Simmer for 10 minutes then add the clams.
100-5625.jpg

After 5 minutes add 1/2 tsp of Old Bay seasoning.
100-5627.jpg

Simmer for 5 more minutes, taste and adjust, I had to add a tsp of Tony's.
100-5628.jpg

Let that pot sit for 10 minutes to meld and thicken, THEN make a plate topped with green onions, Aleppo pepper flakes and fresh french bread, I just used the top and bottom to get that crispy crunch to dip in this masterpiece.

It makes an awesome dip too!! I could fill up a bread bowl and be fat and happy ready for a nap! :P

STOP!
Stop right there.

While I do like your recipe, it looks delicious.
I gotta take your Certified Cajun card away from you for not preparing a proper roux.
No righteous Coonass would call that a roux.
 
I made fiery grits for lunch today. Local stone ground grits from another small producer in the area cooked down with salt, black pepper, a bay leaf, onions, sage, garlic and fresh peppers. Aji White Fantasy, White Ghost, Fatalii, Yellow Trinidad Scorpion cooked in and half a Carolina Reaper sliced thin mixed in at the end. A great stick to your ribs use of some of the fresh peppers I have left hoarded in the fridge.
