Picnic Food Recipe for Meat #1: Meat Loaf

Meat loaf tends to be an all time favorite. Many people cook this delicious recipe for a quick and easy dinner, while others will reserve it for special occasions like holiday dinners. However, this meat loaf recipe is ideal for your next picnic.

The following ingredients are necessary to create this dish: ground pork (2 pounds), ground chicken (1/2 pound), grated Granny Smith apple, diced onion (1/3 cup), evaporated milk (2/3 cup), thyme (1 teaspoon), bread crumbs (1/3 cup), eggs (4), and salt and pepper to taste.

In order to prepare the meal, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and coat a 9x5 pan with nonstick cooking spray. Boil three of the eggs. Then combine all of the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Firmly press half of this combination into the pan, add the crushed hard-boiled eggs, and then add the remaining mixture to the top. Place the pan in the oven and bake approximately 1.5 hours or until the juice runs clear. Allow it to cool completely before serving.

Picnic Food Recipe for Meat #2: Sandwich Delight

Unlike our typical ham picnic sandwich, this recipe is sure to be a refreshing and filling treat like no other sandwich you have ever had. The following ingredients will be needed to complete this dish: 2/3 cup of cheddar cheese (or another cheese of choice), bread (white or wheat), ½ cup cooked sliced ham, stalk of chopped celery, chopped dill pickle, chopped carrot, 1/3 olives, and cream cheese with chives.

In order to complete this recipe you will need to blend everything but the cream cheese and bread together in a large bowl. Take the bread and spread cream cheese on one side of each slice. Then add some of the mixture onto one side of the bread and add the other slice on top to complete the dish. Refrigerate the sandwiches overnight before consumption for best results.

Picnic Food Recipe for Meat #3: BBQ Ribs

Everyone loves a picnic with barbequed ribs and this recipe is sure to be successful at your next picnic. Be sure to collect the following ingredients: spareribs (4lbs), brown sugar (2 teaspoons), soy sauce (5 tablespoons), chopped garlic (2 cloves), Hoisin sauce (1/3 cup), ketchup (1 tablespoon), balsamic vinegar (1 tablespoon), honey dissolved in boiling water (1/4 cup in ½ cup of water).

Combine all the ingredients together except the ribs and honey and water mixture. Place the ribs in a relatively shallow dish and add the combination of ingredients. Cover the dish and marinate the ribs overnight in the refrigerator. When getting ready to cook, preheat the over to 350 degree Fahrenheit. Be sure to put a roasting pan with approximately ½ inch of water at the bottom of the over with the pork baking on the rack above it. The roasting should take place for approximately sixty minutes. Periodically brush on the honey and water mixture during the roasting process. The meat will be done when the ribs reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
