Navajo Taco Preparation
Navajo Fry Bread
Refried Beans
cheese, shredded
lettuce, shredded
tomatoes, chopped
Place Refried Beans on Navajo Fry Bread. Then top with cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Serve warm.
(this makes a lot-at least four dozen, depending on size)
12-ounces tomato sauce
1 ½ cups dry bread crumbs
4 eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup onion, finely chopped
¼ cup green pepper, finely chopped
1 teaspoons salt, optional
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/8 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed
4 pounds ground beef
In a large mixing bowl, combine first eight ingredients. Add ground beef and mix well. Shape into meatballs (use a small cookie scoop if available) and place on broiler pan so grease can drain while cooking. Bake uncovered in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Divide into meal-sized portions. To prevent from freezing into a solid meatball-mass, freeze individually on cookie sheets and then place in freezer bags. Label and freeze.
To serve meatballs, thaw completely, and reheat with your choice of sauces (six sample sauce recipes follow).
