Good Ol' American Cookin'

Now as some of you know I am not your traditional cook. I tend to be a bit lazy at times! But most times my food comes out DELISH! 1 Whole Chicken, Frozen 1/4 C and a drizzle of olive oil Seasoning Potatoes either white or sweet or both Carrots  Onions I use a 13x9 pan. Put Whole Frozen bird in pan, drizzle olive oil on top of bird (may slide off a little) and add seasoning here too. Arrange around the outside whatever will fit a mix of potatoes, onions and carrots (Suggest putting in a bowl add about 1/4 C of olive oil and seasoning, mix so everything is coated. Arrange around the bird). Put tinfoil over the whole thing. Put in 350* oven for one hour, remove foil then turn oven up to 400* and return the bird mix to the oven and bake another 30 mins. Be sure to check with meat thermometer(180* on poultry) to see if it is cooked thoroughly. May need to cook another 15-30 mins. All ovens are not the same..... Let sit for about 5-10 mins and serve. Enjoy!   ...

3 cups of chopped, shredded meat (chicken or tuna or ham in a can), DRAINED 2 eggs may need addl egg 1 Tbls (approx) parsley 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper optional instead of salt & pepper try Cajun seasoning In a bowl mix all together good, if you find they are a little dry add addl egg. This mix should look wet, not soaked. Heat oil, olive or corn, in a pan. Using a tablespoon for measurement make small patties of a sort. Drop these in your hot oil pan, carefully!
