I use the oven only for baking cakes and other desserts, chicken and turkey, and ham. I've decided to go on a baking spree. Everything I serve and feed my family for the next couple of weeks will be baked.
Appetizers, main course, desserts... Please share your best baked food recipes Anything the family loves will be greatly appreciated!
I love baking pork chops. There are so many recipes (mustard pork chops, lemon pepper pork chops, pork chops and baked apples, ranch pork chops, you get my drift). Fish is another versatile baking main dish.
I also like making baking packets. Wrap meat, seasonings, and random or expiring veggies in aluminum foil and slow bake.
For appetizers I love a warm spinach artichoke dip and warm crusty bread.

I got this years ago off of Taste of Home so I can't claim it as original, but I have been making it for ages and we just love it.
Oven Tender Swiss Steak:
Take about 2 to 2.5 pounds of round steak cut into serving pieces and trimmed of fat, dredge in flour and brown in a large dutch oven in some oil. Salt and pepper to taste. I usually have to do this in two batches because I make extras for leftovers. When brown, place the meat into a large covered casserole dish (spray bottom and sides with PAM first). Slice a large onion (if you like them) into thin slices and layer between the meat pieces. Take about 2 cups of water and stir in 4 tablespoons (or to your taste) of Worschestire Sauce and pour directly over the meat. Cover and place in a preheated oven at 325 degrees. Meat should cook slowly for 2 to 2 1/2 hours (if it goes over a bit it is no big deal. The meat will stay moist because of the lid and will only make it more tender.) The meat will be so tender that you will be able to cut it with a fork. When it is done cooking, carefully remove the meat and cover it to keep it warm. Take all of the leftover juices (scrape the bottom - yum!) and put into a sauce pan (strain the onions out if you don't want them in the gravy. We kinda like them though). Take 1 can of beef broth and whisk in about 1/4 cup of flour until the lumps disappear. Slowly add this to the sauce pan with the meat juices and stir. Bring to a boil and continue stirring gently until gravy thickens to your taste. Let the gravy cook 2 or 3 minutes to make sure the flour taste is gone. NOW comes the best part - serve this up with either mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles along with whatever else you desire. It is a real stick to the ribs kind of meal. I hope you enjoy it.
This is a favorite at our house. It is easy, smells and tastes delicious, and is nice enough for company, in my opinion anyway!!! If you try it, let me know what you think...
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Chunk vegetables so they're sorta-kinda the same size.
De-seed the ones that need de-seeding.
Place vegetables on a lightly greased sheet pan in a single layer.
Don't overcrowd or they will steam rather than roast.
Put the slower-cooking, hard vegetables to the outside of the roasting pan
Turn vegetables once or a few times during roasting.
If cooking different kind of vegetables on the same pan, remove the vegetables as they become tender.
Roast vegetables until desired doneness. Usually about 25 minutes, depends on size of vegetables.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Can be made ahead and reheated in oven.
Combinations are endless ... asparagus, green beans, beets, broccoli,carrots, cauliflower, celery root, corn on the cob, eggplant, fennel, garlic cloves, leeks, mushrooms, onions, parsnips, peppers, potatoes, radishes, rutabagas, summer squash, turnips, winter squash ... whatever is in season or whatever your family likes.

I do something similar but to make it a full meal, throw some chicken pieces on top of the veggies, rubbed with olive oil, lemon juice, some herbs, or pesto is really good too, and then when it's almost done, crumble up some feta over top of everything and bake for another 10 mins or so. Goat cheese or some fresh grated parmesan would work too. Super easy and yummy.
Heat oven to 450°F.
2
Mix vegetables, soups, 1 c milk, meat and onion powder in greased 9x13 baking dish.
3

4

5

6
Bake 27-30 minutes or til lightly golden brown.
7
Let stand at least 5 minutes.

New Orleans Style Barbecue Shrimp - I'll get the recipe if you are interested. It's a pretty spicy dish, maybe too spicy for young kids.
