very easy healthy bag dinner

This meal is so easy. It has became one of my favorites. It's a great way to get plenty of veggies in your diet.
I have been buying these oven bags at the store. You put can any kind of meat in them. Last night I used 4 pork chops. I stopped by ingles salad bar and picked up about 1/2 lb of veggies like mushrooms, onions, carrotts, onions, and peppers. I did this becuase the are pre cut and cheaper than buying each veggie whole. I believe they cost me 3 bucks. I had a can of mixed can veggies at the house. The can had potatoes, celery, peas, and carrots in it. Make sure you buy the ones that are cut large and not the small cut ones.

Now, all you do is throw all the meat and veggies in the oven bag. I usually add some things like salt, pepper, garlic, lime, and beer. Tie the bag and cook the food. It taste so great! The meat will flavor the veggies and the veggies help flavor the meat. I have done this with Chicken as well and the chicken taste the best I think. Cook the pork on a low temp. If you use chicken cook it on 325. This morning I threw the left overs in a pan with an egg. It was even better!!!!

Let me know what you'll think.

Are you using the small oven bags or a larger one? Also do you put any sort of oil or spray on it first?

It is just a medium sized bag. No I do not put any kind of oil or spray in it. It has never stuck to the bag or any thing like that.

I generally marinate or pre season my meat and veggies. I let them sit in the bag all day while I teach School. Tonight I am having steak. I have 2 ribeye's marinating with green beans, snap peas, onions, mushrooms, and peppers. It is marinating in a teriyaki sauce. For my veggies I will usually grab them from the Salad bar at ingles. This helps so I do not have to cut up my own veggies. I usually get about 1/2 of them. Sometimes I will add a can of Veg-all

I'll have to try that. I've tried the steamer bags for veggies like green beans and asparagus but I haven't tried the oven bags yet.

I think the box they come in suggest adding and shaping like a 1 T. of flour before you fill it so the bag doesn't explode. Don't know why it would as they also suggest you cut slits at the top for steam. I just do it. lol



Love the salad bar idea, definitely a great way to get lots of veggies for a meal without having to buy bags all seperate!! Thanks for the tips!

I've never added flour or anything like that. Just a couple slits and maybe a dash of beer. Never had an explosion or anything

maybe it's the beer, never added beer, might keep it from exploding:drinker:
