September's Meal Plan

If you are a HGP club memeber and you got the bundle for the month(for September), then you want to start here....follow these tips to save more time in the kitchen! Not a member? You can still order the needed mixes and go to your 'In The Mix' e-newsletter for the full menus, grocery list, and directions. Want to have the e-newsletter sent to you the 1st of every month? Let me know and I'll add you to the list!


TIP: go ahead and prepare all the meat needed on day one. It doesn't take much longer to season all the meat then just 1 lb for only 1 meal. This is for meals: 1, 3, 4, and 6. You will cut down on dinner preparation time for the next meals

*you would need triple the ingredients needed to make meal 1--this includes, meat, ketchup, egg. So, go ahead and buy a pack of 5 1/2 lbs of ground meat.

Start off of by taking 1 lb of meat and brown it on a frying pan-do not add any seasonings to this. While thats cooking....get a large bowl and place the remainder of the meat. Place the other ingredients in the bowl plus triple the amount of the Old Fashioned Meatloaf-if using single packets, you would need 3. If using the pantry staple size, you would add 24 Tablespoons. Mix this all up. Then divide the meat mixture into 3 parts.Use one part for meal one-put in meatloaf pan and place in oven.

While that is baking, use another part and shape meatballs. Put these in the oven for the last 15-20 minutes that the meatloaf has left.

Then use the last part of the meat to shape into patties. You can then line the patties with wax paper and put into a gallon sized freezer bag. Make sure to lable as Old Fashioned hamburgers and today's date.

You now have meatloaf ready for dinner-or you can wrap it in foil paper and put in a freezer bag for later. While eating your dinner, let the meatballs cool. Then you place them in the freezer as well.

You will love having these meals almost done for you when you are short on time for dinner!! They will be your lifesavers! Have fun with this and let me know how it all goes!!
