Meat & Potatoes

Mondays are a bit busy. K has ballet at 3:30 and then A dances from 4:30 to 6:00. I got home a little before 5:00 today and wanted to work out while dinner cooked. I threw together this beef dish and headed upstairs to the treadmill while it simmered. Post-workout, I put the other two dishes (or should I call each of these things concoctions?). Everything was ready about 5 minutes after J & A walked in the door and each girl ate everything on her plate. Success!

The Meat
4 chopped beef patties
1/4 onion, chopped
1/4 cup chopped colored peppers
dash worcestershire sauce
splash white wine
pepper
salt

Heat beef patties in pan.
Drain fat when patties are 1/2 way cooked.
Add onions and peppers above and below patties.
Dash each patty with worcestershire.
Splash white wine in pan.
Salt & pepper as you wish.
Simmer on medium low for 30 minutes or so.

The Potatoes
1/5 package shredded hash browns
2-4 Tbsp canola oil
salt

Pour oil into pan and spread evenly over bottom.
Put hash browns on in thin layer.
Sprinkle with salt.
Place in pre-heated oven at 425 for 15 minutes.
Stir and heat 10 minutes more.

The Veggie
1/3 package frozen green beans
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup pecans
dash garlic salt
salt
pepper

Put all ingredients together in pan and stir well to coat green beans.
Bake at 425 for 15-20 minutes.
