Favorite Dinners

Cubesteak Westbrook
This is a favorite for dinner parties at our home. It's easy and quick!

Cubesteaks (cut in half)
Flour, salt and pepper
Butter
Brown Sugar
Ketchup
Dried Onion Flakes
Dried Basil
Beef Broth

Dredge your cubesteaks in the flour mixture. Brown in a hot skillet on both sides. Place them in a baking dish. On top of each steak, place one Tablespoon of butter, one Tbsp of brown sugar and one Tbsp of ketchup. Sprinkle onion flakes and basil over all. Pour enough broth into the dish to come half way up the sides of the steaks. *Do not cover steaks with broth!* Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Uncover, bake for another 15 minutes.

This is delicious with mashed potatoes. Be sure to scrape the pan with the drippings as a sauce!
Latin Chicken Pot
This is a new favorite at Shannon's house. Try it and let us know what you think.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tbs. Butter
1 lbs. Chicken Cut into Pieces
Salt & Pepper
2 c. Minute White Rice
3 c. Chicken Stock
1 tsp. Poulty Seasoning
1 Tbs. Sazon Seasoning *
1 c. Tomato Sauce

1) Heat pot on medium heat.
2) Pour EVOO in pan with butter
3) Salt and Pepper the Chicken and add to pot to Brown
4) Add rice and Cook 2 min.
5) Add Stock, Seasoning, and Sauce
6) Bring to a boil for 3 min.
7) Reduce Heat to simmer and cook 15 min.

I like to searve this with guacamole or sour cream or a combination.
* I use a cool Chilli Powder, Garlic, and Cumin when I don't have Sazon.
