The Maverick Ribeye Sandwich I got was even better than the menu picture. The seasoned fries were good too, about 1,000+ calorie lunch with appetizers.

It was loaded and delicious and ½ on two lunches !

My wife liked that it was so fresh and with 5 tomatoes. I'm really big on black olives and artichokes I buy them by the 12 can boxes from Amazon pantry delivered to our door.

I also get 12 can cases of spinach, French style green beans and others. No lugging all that home -but- keep an eye on costs, some locals have nice sales.....on ever rising food costs.

It's not hard to eat well and really enjoy it so bon appetit !

We've had dishes like the above ^^^^ TEX-MEX ZITI but not exactly this recipe but it was really good ! And so easy .

A easy to make Maque Choux for when you want that New Orleans vibe.

2 cans tomatoes and okra

2 can tomatoes, okra, and corn.

! large smoked sausage. Whatever kind you like

1/2 onion.

Chop onion, thin slice the sausage and put in pot with a little oil...brown out for a few minutes. Season with several dashed of hot sauce. My fav is Crystal. A few grinds of black pepper.

Add cans of tomatoes and okra. Let simmer for 1 hour or more to meld flavors.

The key to hot sauce is to improve flavor, not make things hot. Any idiot can make things hot. The key to being a good chef is to make things better. As a Cajun dish it is going to have some heat, but if you make something and more than 1-2 out of 10 people(adults) think it is too spicy, you failed. People can always kick up the heat to their taste. You can't take it out.

I like Crystal hot sauce. It's what you find in most of the N.O restaurants. It is fairly mild in the way of heat but big on pepper flavor. Try some.

SERVES 5 COOK TIME 1 HOUR 15 MINUTES

Say hello to Your Family's Favorite Meatloaf recipe! Unlike other meatloaves that are sort of dry and tasteless, this one is super juicy and packed with flavor inside and out. And the combo of the bacon and the glaze makes this truly irresistible.

1/2 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup ketchup, divided
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 slices bacon
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
2 tablespoons brown sugar

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine beef, cracker crumbs, onion, 1/2 cup ketchup, the eggs, salt, and pepper; mix well. Form meat mixture into a loaf on baking sheet. Lay bacon over top of meatloaf.
Bake 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mustard, brown sugar, and remaining 1/4 cup ketchup; mix well. Spread evenly over top of meatloaf. Return to oven and bake 15 more minutes, or until no longer pink in center.
