The hamburger goop would be better if you added beans.

Perhaps something without sugar? Pre-Diabetic.
And that's pretty much the same recipe that I have, except you make the tomato sauce out of canned tomato paste.
I suppose there's not much variety in plain tomato sauces. Either way thanks for the time.

This isn't for professional chefs. It's more for the bachelors and the living at home people who want to throw some variety in their dull food routines.
Tomato sauce doesn't normally have sugar added. It's sometimes salted, and can have herbs in it. You might be thinking of canned prepared sauces though. The only sugar in it should be whatever is naturally present in the tomato.

28oz jars of tomato sauce are normally things like prego, or some off brand, which have added sugar. I think Newman's doesn't have added sugar, but I'm not sure.

To nitpick, can was the word used, not jar, like this stuff:
[img]http://ninecooks.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/tomatosauce.jpg[/img]
I'm pretty sure that's what was meant. Prepared sauces should be avoided unless you absolutely have to use them ( and then you should just get something else :P ).
If you mix worcester sauce with mayo, it makes a tasty mayo-varient that's fiery and simultaniously cooling.
Dip with pringles for some reason.

I always grew up with the jarred shit, so when people say a "tomato sauce" the first thing that pops in my mind is Prego.
Fuck that shit had like 23g of sugar per serving if I recall correctly.
This thread is making me so hungry.

Awesome post Holy Diver!
You didn't even put the effort in to be lame like everyone else and make a multi-step stupid food item.
You just posted pure, comic gold!
Even jizz sandwich guy put more effort into it than you...
I have one.
1. Start baking chocolate chip cookies like normal, except don't put flour in the mix.
2. Bake cookies until they spread out and fill your entire cookie pan.
3. Pull them out, re-mix with flour, and extra sugar.
4. Bake again.
5. Now you will have somewhat edible delicious cookies!

I absolutely hate Ragu / Prego. Bad memories of terrible spaghetti dinners.
You guys should try Olive Gardens salad dressings, they makes for great chicken salads.

Okay. Got a few.
Traditional Hummus:
1 clove garlic
1 (19 ounce) can garbanzo beans, half the liquid reserved
4 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons tahini* ([url]http://www.ochef.com/235.htm[/url])
*skip this if you can't get it
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Optional: Paprika to sprinkle on finished hummus for color.
In a blender, chop the garlic. Pour garbanzo beans into blender, reserving about a tablespoon for garnish. Place lemon juice, tahini, chopped garlic and salt in blender. Blend until creamy and well mixed.
Transfer the mixture to a medium serving bowl. Sprinkle with pepper and pour olive oil over the top. Garnish with reserved garbanzo beans.
Fantastic on pita with chicken, spinach and tomato, or just on pita, cucumbers, or carrots.
Beef Stew:
1 2lb package stew meat (beef)
3 or 4 large carrots (sliced)
4 large potatoes (cubed)
5 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup flour
1 beef bouillon cube
salt and pepper to taste
Optional Seasonings:
celery salt
cinnamon
bay leaf
Pour 2 tbsp of oil into large stockpot. Brown meat in stockpot--adding 1/2 cup of flour once the meat begins to brown. Immediately add 5 1/2 cups water. Add bouillon cube and wine. (Add bayleaf now if you choose to use it.) Cook for about 2 hours over medium low heat, or until meat is tender. Add vegetables and any other seasonings. Cook until vegetables are tender (30 minutes)
Cucumber Dill Sauce:
1 cup plain yogurt
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 5 inch cucumber
1 tsp lemon juice
Seasonings to taste:
fresh or dried dill
salt
Dice cucumber, puree in food processor if possible. Add yogurt, olive oil, wine, salt, dill and lemon juice; mix until smooth.
I usually serve this over pork chops seasoned with a something called Vegeta (not just a DBZ character, but a popular MSG based compound in Eastern Europe) Or over chicken seasoned with Adobo (seasoning compound popular in Mexican cooking) or sometimes over salmon with no seasoning. It's like the stuff that goes over Gyros really.
Meatloaf ( my way )
[b]Ingredients[/b]
3 pounds meat of choice, ground ( do it yourself or have it done )
Salt + Pepper to taste
1 medium onion
1 tsp Hot Sauce
1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1 can diced tomato and green chile ( I use Rotel, but any will do )
1 cup bread crumbs, any type
[b]Notes[/b]
Meat should preferably be as lean as possible to reduce how much grease it floats around in while cooking. This recipe is geared towards lean ground turkey meat, so baking time may need adjustment depending on what meat you end up using.
Any variety of bread crumb is fine, but making it yourself would be cool - I like to use stale pumpernickel bread for this. You can generally mix in whatever you want instead of bread crumbs, but the mixture should stay relatively dry or the texture will be off ( mushy ).
Most recipes use eggs, but I find that it doesn't really need it.
This recipe is designed to brown and crisp nicely, and remain firm. I hate crumbly meatloaf, or meatloaf that doesn't have an awesome crispy exterior. Coincidentally, this recipe is everything my grandmother's meat loaf is not - starting at good :v:.
[b]Instructions[/b]
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Open canned tomato and chile, let juice drain from can.
Split onion in half. Dice one side to desired size, but avoid large chunks - they are just not that appealing. If you have a mandolin/vslicer or a meat slicer, slice the other half of the onion into very thin rings, otherwise as thin as you can with the knife ( alternately just chop the rest of the onion up )
Place meat in large bowl; mix in salt, pepper, hot sauce, worcestershire, and diced onion. Loosely combine. Mix in drained tomato and chile, then bread crumbs until the mixture is somewhat stiff feeling, but not crusty.
Shape mixture into a bread loaf shape:
[img]http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:Z_uWo52mopjPZM:http://www.twosheep.com/blog/blogpics2/1354.jpg&t=1[/img]
If you want a traditional shape, use the meatloaf pan as a mold.
Place the loaf in large baking dish, in the 12" by 9.5" area. If you have the sliced onion, spread it across the top of the meatloaf, pressing in slightly to adhere.
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
Open oven, spread ketchup across surface of meatloaf ( not too thick, and try to avoid disturbing the onion ). Set oven to broil if you have it.
Pay attention to the loaf, but cook for another five to ten minutes until the ketchup is starting to caramelize.
Remove meatloaf from oven, and from the baking dish. Set on a large plate or cutting board and let rest for another five to ten minutes.
Cut into slices with a sharp knife, serve with side of choice. Mashed potato or mac & cheese are popular in my region. Optionally serve with mushroom or normal brown gravy if desired.
Thank you people who actually post recipes!
Some frozen sweet potato fries. About half way through baking sprinkle some brown sugar and (lightly or liberally. dealers choice) spray some more oil to crisp.
These are some of the best french fries I've ever had.
