Easy Tuna Pasta Salad

Serving Size: 4- 6 serving(s)
Ingredients
1 box Suddenly Pasta salad 6 oz tuna packed in water or packed in pouch romaine lettuce or mixed salad greens – 4 or more cups
Directions
Cook pasta salad per recipe directions. I usually do not use the full amount of oil called for to cut down on the fat in the recipe. Rinse cooked pasta in ice cold water and drain. Mix in drained tuna. You may like more tuna than called for, so feel free to add more. Evenly divide the salad into bowls and top with tuna pasta blend. You may add additional chopped veggies such as carrots and broccoli or add shredded cheese. This meal makes great leftovers for the next day’s lunch, too!

Serving Size: A lot serving(s)
Ingredients
2 to 2-1/2 pounds ground chuck 1 can tomato soup, divided 1 egg, slightly beaten 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers 2 tablespoons honey 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, divided 2 tablespoons dried minced onions 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/2 cup water 2 teaspoons prepared mustard 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Directions
Combine ground chuck with half of the tomato soup, egg, crackers, honey, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, onions, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into a ball. Place a crinkled length of aluminum foil in the crockpot so the ends extend an inch or so out of the pot. Place the meatloaf in the pot (the foil will make it easier to lift the meatloaf out and keep it out of the drippings).

Saucy Polish Sausage
Prep Time: 1 hour
Serving Size: 8 serving(s)
Ingredients
12 Links Fresh Polish Sausage
Clove of Fresh Garlic (Minced) or more depending on your taste buds.
1 Green Pepper (chopped)
1 or 2 Onions (chopped)
1 Can Tomato Sauce 26.5 oz)
1 Large Can Diced Tomotes (28 oz)
1 Can Contadina Pizza Sauce (26 oz) You can use any brand of Pizza sauce, Contadina is what I had in the pantry
Directions
Boil the Polish Sausage until cooked about an hour. If you have the foam on top, keep taking that off has it boils. I take a fork and as it cook, puncture the skin to remove more of the oil from the sausage so it won’t be so greasy.
Put a little bit of oil in a skillet and add your chopped onions, chopped green peppers and garlic and saute.
After the sausage has cooked, place on cutting board and cut each sausage into 4 pieces, (nice bite size chuncks)
Have a big pot handy, add your tomatoe sauce, tomatoes, Pizza Sauce in the pot
Heat it up just a tad, then add your cooked, cut up Polish Sausage to the pot, add Oregano and Basil to the pot.
Slowly simmer for about an hour on low heat.
You can serve the dish as a main meat dish or serve over pasta. I use egg noodles if I have company to make it stretch for more visitors.

Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Prep Time: 15 min
Serving Size: normally about a sweet potato per person serving(s)
Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes (try to choose ones that are fairly uniform in size and shape, plump) Water Brown Sugar Salt Pepper Olive oil
Directions
Peel the potatoes. Slice into thick cut (but not steak-cut) french fries. Try to make the ends square as well by cutting off any pointy ends. They will just burn in the oven. Soak cut up potatoes in a bowl of water for 10 minutes. This will make the insides nice and soft but outside crispy when baked. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with tin foil. Completely dry off the potatoes and out in a medium bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to every 3 to 4 whole sweet potatoes. Drizzle olive oil lightly in the bowl and mix with hands or spoon until each fry is lightly coated. Toss onto the baking sheet and lay them out flately. Bake for about 35 minutes, turning every 10-15 minutes. When lightly browned, they’re done! Top with more salt and pepper if like and ketchup.
*Any “burnt” french fries can possibly happen from the caramelization of the brown sugar so be aware. Might not be actually burnt.
