It's easy and delicious! ANNIE'S ONION SOUP 4 extra large onions 9 Tbsp. butter 1/4 tsp. pepper 6 cups boiling water 6 beef bouillon cubes French bread Parmesan cheese Swiss cheese Cheddar cheese Saute onions in butter in Dutch oven over low heat for 1 hour. Dissolve bouillon in 1 cup boiling water. Add 5 cups boiling water to onions. Add pepper and bouillon. Simmer for 1 hour. Ladle soup into ovenproof bowls or casserole dish. Place a slice of bread on top of each serving. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan, Cheddar, and Swiss cheeses. Heat in a 425 degree oven for 10 minutes. Place under broiler until cheese is bubbly. _______________________________________Really Easy CrockPot Beef Stew stew meat (I use about 2 lbs.) carrots (I use a small bag of "baby" carrots) celery (about 3 stalks, cut into 1-inch hunks) onion (one medium yellow onion cut into hunks, or a package of small frozen pearl onions) cubed potatoes (3 - 4 medium potatoes pared and cut into cubes) 1/2 cup water, with 1 beef bullion cube dissolved 1 bay leaf Few dashes of garlic powder 1 or 2 cans condensed tomato soup, (depending on how much meat and veggies you use) Throw it all in the slow cooker and cook all day! This is really good and doesn't taste like tomato soup when it is finished.. You don't even have to brown the meat, just cook for a least 8 hours, will hold longer than that. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -=-=-= HERBED TURKEY and WILD RICE CASSEROLE 6 slices bacon, cut in 1/2 inch pieces 1 pound turkey tenderloin, cut into 3/4-inch pieces 1 med. onion, chopped 1 med. sliced carrot 1 med. stalk chopped celery 2 cans chicken broth 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup 1/4 t marjoram 1/4 t oregano 1 1/4 cups uncooked wild rice cook bacon till crisp, remove from skillet, drain, using 1 T bacon drippings, add turkey, onion, carrot, and celery cook 3 to 4 minutes put in slow cooker with broth, soup, herbs, bacon and wild rice cook on low setting 6 to 7 hours, until rice is tender and liquid absorbed. _______________________________________Chili 3 lbs. ground beef 1 large onion 1 large bell pepper 1 pack hot chili powder mix 3 cans beans (1 - Northern Beans, 1 - Pinto Beans, 1 - Black Beans) 1 can Rotel (chopped tomatoes with mild green chilies) 1 med. can tomato paste 2 cups water Brown meat, onion, and pepper together. Then add hot chili powder mix. (I added extra since it was so much meat.) Add the remaining ingredients to the cooked meat mixture. I let it cook for a couple of hours in the crockpot. Nice if served with sour cream and grated cheddar cheese. This recipe was made for a work function and serves 12. It is suitable for adjustments. I also cook it on the stove (low - med heat) with 1 lb. meat and 1 can pinto beans with all other ingredients adjusted. You will need more water depending on how long you let it simmer. The great thing about chili is that you can add more or less of ingredients depending on how spicy, meaty, tomatoey, etc that you like it. If I have fresh tomatoes on hand, I will cut them up instead of using the Rotel; sometimes I have 4 oz. cans of mild green chilies to throw in when using my own fresh tomatoes. You can also substitute refried beans or chili starter Bush's beans for a regular can of beans. Have fun experimenting. _______________________________________Beanless Chili 1 to 1 1/2 pounds hamburger 2 - 15oz cans tomato sauce, rinse cans out with 1/2 water (if you would like you can add 1 can of diced tomatoes) 1 medium onion, diced (more if desired) 1 package chili seasoning, any brand 1 teaspoon chili powder 1/4 cup milk 1 cup broken up spaghetti noodles (cook until 1/2 done) (or any kind of noodle you like) Brown meat in fry pan with onion and 1/2 package of chili seasoning, fry until just a wee bit crisp, drain off fat. In medium to large pot (or slow cooker) put meat mixture, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes if using, rest of chili seasoning, chili powder, milk and cooked noodles. Bring to boil, then turn down to simmer for however long you like or however thick you want it to boil down to. (If you are going to put this in a slow cooker to cook all day you do not have to bring it to a boil first) _______________________________________Kelly's Hot Artichoke Dip (I got this recipe from a friend, but added a lot more cheese than actually called for!) 1 cup of mayonaise (or the small jar) 1 can of artichoke hearts in water (not marinated) 2 cups of grated mozzerella cheese (you can buy the pre-shredded cheese in a bag) 1 cup of grated romano cheese (NOT the powdered kind!) Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Chop artichoke hearts. Dump all ingredients into an oven-safe bowl and mix thoroughly. You may also add some crushed garlic, too. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until bubbly. Serve with sliced baguettes or crackers! It will go fast! _______________________________________Our Favorite Meatloaf 1 egg 1 cup quick oats 1/3 cup catsup 1/4 cup chopped onion 2 Tbsp. worcestershire sauce 2 tsp. seasoned salt 1/2 tsp. pepper 2 lbs. ground beef Beat egg slightly; stir in other ingredients, except beef. Mix well. Add ground beef and mix. Pat mixture into a 9x 5 x3 inch loaf pan. Bake in a 325* oven about 1 hour. P.S. I usually make two smaller loaves out of this so it will cook faster. ______________________________________ The recipe was shown by the chef at the Waldorf Astoria and he prepared this for a cooking Olympics. It's so simple you may not want to think it's a legitimate cheesecake effort, but give it a try. SIMPLE CHEESECAKE Crust: (do this first) 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 cup melted butter Melt butter slowly in a pot on the stove. Remove from heat. Mix dry ingredients and stir them into the melted butter. Mix thoroughly. Press evenly into a pie shell and chill. (Using the back of a soup spoon helps the spreading process a bit.) Filling: 12 oz. soft cream cheese 2/3 c. sugar Mix well. You can probably do it by hand, but I like to use an electric mixer. Add to cream cheese/sugar mixture and mix thoroughly: 2 eggs grated rind of 1 lemon 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 teaspoon vanilla (or to taste) Pour into chilled crust and bake at 350 until sheen is gone and it jiggles evenly. This is approximately 35 minutes. Remove from oven and cool 5 minutes. Then spread topping gently over the top and bake 5 minutes longer. Topping: 1 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons sugar 1 or 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon vanilla If you have leftovers, freeze the slices and pop them out for a quick dessert. _______________________________________If you have leftovers, make Frito pie - spoon the chili over Frito's corn chips and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Coors Light Chili 2 lb ground beef or sausage 1/2 cup diced onion 1 14-1/2 oz can chopped tomatoes with liquid 1 14 oz (?) can tomato juice 1 14 oz (?) can chili beans, with liquid 1/4 to 1/2 cup chili powder, depending on taste 1 T paprika 1 tsp cumin 1 T sugar 1 to 3 tsp red pepper, depending on taste 1 can Coors Light (or other beer) salt and pepper to taste Brown the meat with the onions. Drain off any fat. Add the tomato juice, chopped tomatoes and chili beans. Add spices and sugar, going easy on the chili powder and red pepper until you've had a chance to taste it. Allow to come to a low boil. Add the beer, allow to boil, and taste again to re-season if necessary. This, of course, can be made without the beer, but you may need to add water or additional tomato juice if the soup is too thick. Serve with celery spread with peanut butter (don't ask me why - it's just good!). _______________________________________Hint: if you cook it over night and don't like the smell of food cooking while you sleep, put it in the garage Radybug's Crock Pot Roast 1 pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix 1 pkg Italian Dressing Mix 1 pkg Brown Gravy Mix 1 roast to fit in crock pot Place roast (any kind) in the bottom of crock pot. Empty contents of the three packages on top of roast. Pour a little water in the bottom of the crock pot. Cover and cook on low for 6 - 7 hours Enjoy Hint: You can cut a roast in half and layer it to make it fit _______________________________________I like to make this fresh tuna with a small green salad on the side and some nice crusty bread. TUNA WITH TWO PEPPER SAUCE Don't worry the jalapeno peppers cook out and give a nice earthy flavor, this is low cal, low fat. 1 pound fresh tuna cut in 4 steaks salt and pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 cup chopped onion 2 cloves garlic minced 2 green peppers, cut into very thin strips, lengthwise 2 jalapeno peppers, cut into very thin strips, lengthwise 1 pound tomatoes, chopped Preheat broiler and coat with spray, sprinkle tuna with salt and pepper, broil fish about 5 minutes on each side, meanwhiile, heat oil in skillet, add onion, garlic, jalapenos, bell peppers, salt and pepper, cook stirring 5 minutes, add tomatoes and cook another 5 minutes.

"Irish Cream Recipe" 1 can condensed milk (14 ounces) 1 can rye whiskey (14 ounces)--(Canadian Mist?) 3 eggs 1 cup heavy cream 1 table spoon chocolate syrup 1 table spoon vanilla extract Combine all ingredients in bowl.

Yum! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- PASTA WITH PECANS AND SPINACH This is a good vegetarian meal, it is sweet and has a nutty flavor. 12 ounces gemelli pasta (short twisted strands) 1 (15 ounce) can chick peas, drained and rinsed 1/2 cup pecans 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste) 1 teaspoon orange zest 1/4 cup orange juice 1 (7 ounce) bag baby spinach 1 cup red grapes Cook pasta according to directions until barely al dente, about 7 minutes, add chickpeas and finish cooking the pasta, reserve 1/4 cup of the water, then drain pasta and chick-peas. Meanwhile, place pecans in a small dry skillet over medium high and cook them, shaking the pan, for about 1 minute, or until they become fragrant, transfer pecans to a large mixing bowl. Add the oil, thyme, salt orange zest and juice to pecans and toss thoroughly. Add spinach and toss until it is lightly coated with dressing. Pour hot reserved cooking water over spinach and toss until it is evenly though barely) wilted. Toss with pasta and grapes, season to taste with additional salt and pepper and serve hot or at room temperature. (When serving, include the grapes and pecans, which inevitably sink to bottom of the bowl.) Makes 4 servings. Enjoy, _______________________________________I found this recipe in a cookbook put out by MADD some years ago, under the rather dubious title of KNOCK YOU NAKEDS 1 package (18-1/2 oz.) German chocolate cake mix 1 cup chopped pecans 1/3 cup plus 1/2 cup evaporated milk, divided 3/4 cup butter, melted 60 vanilla caramels, unwrapped (one 14 oz. package) 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels In a large mixing bowl, combine dry cake mix, pecans, 1/3 cup evaporated milk and melted butter. Press half of the batter into the bottom of a greased 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 8 minutes. In the top of a double boiler over simmering water, melt caramels with remaining 1/2 cup evaporated milk. When caramel mixture is well blended, pour over baked layer. Cover with chocolate morsels. Pour remaining batter on top of morsels. Return to preheated 350° oven and bake 18 minutes. Let cool before cutting into squares. _______________________________________Barley Stroganoff Stew 1 pound beef stew meat, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1/2 C finey chopped onion 1 clove garlic, minced 1 (10 1/2-oz.) can condensed beef broth 1/2 C water 1/2 C pearled barley 2 TB ketchup 1 tsp. paprika 1 tsp. salt, dash of pepper 2 C sliced mushrooms 1/2 C sour cream Mix all ingredients except the sour cream in a 4-qt. slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 7-8 hours. Turn off heat then stir in sour cream. _______________________________________Spicy Crab Cream Cheese Dip You can vary the flavor by using different salsas, I prefer medium-hot store brand, but you can use whatever you like best. Feel free to vary the amounts to please yourself, because it's very tasty even if you put no crabmeat in it. 1 lb imitation crabmeat 1 lb cream cheese 1 lb salsa Mix all three ingredients together in saucepan or crock pot. Heat thoroughly on low. _______________________________________Parmesan Potato Sticks Serves: 5 to 6 · 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs · 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese · 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder · 1/2 teaspoon salt · 1/8 teaspoon black pepper · 6 medium potatoes (about 2 pounds) · 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9- by 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; mix well and set aside. Peel potatoes and cut lengthwise into quarters; cut each quarter lengthwise into 3 strips. Dip each strip in the melted butter, then in Parmesan mixture, coating completely. Place in a single layer in the baking dish. Pour any remaining melted butter over potatoes. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until potatoes are tender, turning them over once or twice. _______________________________________Sour Cream Coffee Cake 1 stick butter/margarine 1 cup sugar 1/2 pint sour cream (1 cup) 1/2 tsp. vanilla 6 oz choc chips 2 eggs 2 cups flour 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt TOPPING: 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans Cream butter and sugar. Add sour cream, vanilla, and eggs. Sift and add dry ingredients. Add chocolate chips. Grease and flour 9" pan. Pour half batter in pan. Put half topping then rest of batter, rest of topping. Bake 45-50 min in 350 degree oven. Easy and yummy! A holiday requirement! As far as the topping goes, I usually guess on the amounts...we like cinnamon sugar, so the amounts are more than the recipe says. Comes out great! _______________________________________Zucchini Casserole 3 cups of shredded unpeeled zucchini 1/2 Cup cooking oil 1/4 Cup onion 1/2 Cup shredded cheese (I use mild cheddar) 4 eggs parsley to taste salt and pepper to taste Beat eggs, oil, and seasonings till well mixed add the rest of the ingredients and stir well. Pack into Pam sprayed casserole dish and bake at 350* for 40 minutes. This is yummy, and can be warmed up in the microwave and eaten if there are any left overs. _______________________________________Here is a Chili recipe that looks pretty as well as tastes great.

Texas Chili olive oil 3 pounds chuck roast -- cut into 1" cubes 3 onions -- minced 5 cloves garlic -- minced 1/4 cup chili powder 1 teaspoon oregano 2 teaspoons cumin 2 tb masa harina 1 jalapeno peppers -- minced cheddar cheese -- shredded When preparing the meat, remove as much fat as possible, as it seems to dull the delicate flavors of this chili. Heat olive oil to smoking in a heavy kettle and add meat. Cook until meat is light colored. Add onions and garlic. Add 2-3 cups water to cover and mix. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 1 hour. Add Chili powder, oregano, cumin and salt; cook slowly for 1 hour more, stirring occasionally. You may want to adjust the seasonings after a half hour. Stir masa harina into 1/4 cup of cold water. Add to chili. Add jalapeno peppers. Continue to cook until the chili thickens, about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid sticking. Note: Masa Harina, a finely ground white cornmeal, is available in the Mexican section of many supermarkets, but coarse cornmeal, ground in a blender or food processor for several minutes can be substituted. Per serving: 996 Calories; 57g Fat (51% calories from fat); 62g Protein; 60g Carbohydrate; 197mg Cholesterol; 256mg Sodium NOTES : This chili is mysteriously delicate rather than searingly hot, and like most Texas chili, contains NO beans and, surprisingly no tomato. It is wonderful served immediately, at room temperature, or even cold, but seems to lose some of it's flavor edge on reheating. _______________________________________STUFFED TURKEY BREAST 1 medium onion -- finely chopped 1/2 cup butter or margarine 1 cup water 2 chicken bouillon cubes 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning 2 teaspoons dried parsley 8 slices stale bread -- cut into 1/2" cubes 6 pounds whole turkey breast 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/4 cup butter or margarine -- melted Saute onion in 1/2 cup butter in a large skillet.

Serve warm, top with whipped or sour cream, if desired. ========================= ====== Holiday Cheeseball 3 packages of Philadelphia Cream Cheese (regular size) 4 packages Buddig's (any brand will do) Dried Beef 2 Tablespoons (more or less to your taste) Horseradish Sauce Crackers Cut up the dried beef into small pieces, add the room temperature cream cheese, then add the horseradish sauce and mix. This is easiest to mix with your bare hands. Form into any shape you want and serve. Serve with crackers of any kind. =========== WHISKEY FRANKS 1 pound Beef franks, cut into 1 inch pieces 1 cup Ketchup 1/2 cup bourbon or whiskey 1/3 cup brown sugar Mix all ingredients together. Pour into casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until bubbly hot. I've never tried it but I'm sure you could keep them hot in a crockpot. This is a very tasty recipe and easy too!! =========== Anne's Baked Eggs 2 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup flour, pinch of salt, 1/2 stick Butter(works and tastes better than Margarine), frozen strawberries, confectionary sugar. Melt butter in a pie tin on top of stove. Set aside. Beat eggs milk flour and salt together. Pour in pie tin. Bake at 425 degree oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Cut into pie shape. Set on serving plates. Cover with Thawed strawberries and Confectionary sugar. Serve. I usually end up making 2 or 3 batches for the family. ==You can also pour a little amarretto over eggs before adding strawberries and confectionary sugar.
