These are so yummy!

This recipe has been in my "to make" file for a long time. So long, in fact, that I don't remember where I got it. But it is a good one! I was so glad I made it. It's economical, easy, and delicious. This one's a keeper!
Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken Thighs
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Salt and Pepper
3 Tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 T. honey
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp. basil
Preheat oven to 400
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Melt 2 T. butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and sear until brown- 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate.
Melt 1 T. butter in the same skillet, stirring to loosen the browned bits. Add garlic. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in brown sugar, honey, and spices. Turn off the heat and return the chicken to the skillet, skin-side down.
Put the skillet in the oven and roast in the oven until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear. It should take 25-40 minutes. 165 degrees.
Drizzle the pan sauce over the chicken to serve.

Do you ever watch Brenda Gandt videos on Facebook? She is a cute southern lady who cooks simple Southern recipes right in her simple kitchen.
I wrote down this recipe while she cooked. It is simple, but delicious. This one is for your meat and potatoes man.
Hamburger Steaks in Onion Gravy
1 1/2 lb. hamburger
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper
Mix together and form into patties. Melt butter and fry the patties on both sides. Remove the meat and add flour, enough to soak up the grease. Stir the flour with the meat drippings. Add water (she used water, I chose beef broth) or beef broth to make a gravy. In a separate fry pan, saute 2 onions sliced thin in butter. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally until onions are soft and golden. Add mushrooms (opt. This is my addition) and continue to cook for awhile. Add to the gravy and stir well. Put the meat back in the gravy and cook until it makes a nice gravy. Serve over mashed potatoes.
This is comfort food at its best!
