Chicken Stir Fry

So simple!  I have been wanting to try this stir fry for a while.  I finally made it tonight and it was so good. 
 If you like stir fry, you have got to try this.


Ingredients:
4 frozen chicken strips
1 bag of frozen stir fry mix vegetables
2 cups of rice
Stir fry sauce
1/4 cup of water
1 Tbsp oil


1- Boil chicken
2- While chicken is boiling, cook rice and set aside.
3- Also while chicken is boiling, heat water and vegetables.  Cover with lid and heat about 15 mins..
4- When rice has set up and the vegetables are tender, drain the vegetables and mix rice in. Add about 3 Tbsp of stir fry sauce and combine.
5- Once chicken is done, cut up chicken into bite size pieces. Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in separate pan and add chicken.  Cook about 5 mins.
6- Add chicken to rice and vegetable mixture, stir.

Hamburger Steak with Gravy

This is a favorite of mine from when I was younger.  My favorite two places to get this from are Bills Grill in Black Creek, NC and The Creamery in Wilson, NC.  Most of the time when I am home visiting, I will make a point to get this.  I have never tried to make it although I didn't think it could be that hard. 
And I was right.




Ingredients:
2 - 3 lb of hamburger thawed
salt/pepper to taste
Worcestershire Sauce
garlic salt/powder
onion salt/powder
1 Jar of Beef Gravy
1 tablespoon oil
 Cheese slices (optional)


1- Mix first 5 ingredients together.  Pat out 5 patties, flat.  They should be rather large.
2- Heat pan/skillet with oil in it and place patties in.
3- Cook about 3-5 minutes per side.  Basically the way you would cook a burger on a grill.
4- In another pan heat gravy until it bubbles, then turn down to a simmer.  Place patties in gravy when done.
5-Add cheese if you would like, at this time. 
6-Heat patties in gravy for about 15 minutes.
7-Take out and enjoy.

I enjoyed mine with some mashed potatoes. 
 Any side you would like, probably would go well with this dish.
