Gravy smothered meatballs with roasted green beans & red pepper

1 serving prepared

Here's what you get:

Yellow onion

Chive

Ground beef

Fry seasoning

Green bean

Beef stock concentrate

Not used:

Flour

Sour cream

Panko bread crumb

Yukon Gold potato (not pictured)

Substitutes:

Gluten-free breadcrumb

Cornstarch

Red sweet pepper

The protein:

I pre-formed the meatballs earlier in the day and let them chill out in the fridge. Once it was time to cook these went into oven with the vegetables and were cooked for 16 minutes.

The veggies:

I had to substitute for the potatoes so I added some Red a pepper with the green bean. These were tossed with a little bit of avocado oil, salt and pepper. Then roasted with the meatballs for 16 minutes.

The sauce:

For the sauce the sliced onions were cooked in the butter and then fry seasoning and corn starch were added. I used one quarter cup of Veggie broth, chives and the stock concentrate after the onions were browned. Additional butter and oil were not used.

The plate:

The fry seasoning Gravy was pretty good on the meatballs. I think it would also work well for meatloaf too. The switch of peppers for the potatoes (while really good) dropped the calorie count here but the meal was still really filling. I think it was a really good trade off.

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter. I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature. The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot. The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter. Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris

While the water was coming to a boil I coated the pork chops in the spice and set them aside. The potatoes were steamed for 10 minutes at med-high heat first then the heat was turned to warm. I put the asparagus into the steamer basket with them and put the lid back on the pot. I used my cast iron pan, heating it up (high temp) before placing half of the butter into it. Pork chops were cooked in the pan, turned down to medium heat for a total of 8 minutes, 4 minutes for each side. Once they were done I took them out of the pan ...
