Everybody mentioning Onion Soup mix reminded me of something I came up with for a friend who said he just wanted "noodles and ground beef"... Ha!! (and it's done in the time it takes to boil the water and cook the noodles!!)

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef
1 package wide egg noodles (approx. 1lb)
1 envelope Onion Soup mix
2 cups water
2 tbsp. corn starch
Ground pepper (optional)



Fill large sauce pan with water, set on High heat to boil... then cook noodles according to package directions.

In the meantime, brown hamburger in a large skillet.
Add onion soup mix and stir until well mixed together, add water and corn starch... cook on med./high heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Season with ground pepper if desired.

Serve over cooked noodles.

I like to saute some extra chopped onions in with the beef, but it's not necessary... unless you love onions like I do!!



NOTE: It works out better if you mix the cornstarch with a couple spoons of water 1st before adding it to the beef mixture (it's called 'making a slurry') No lumps that way!!

NOTE: Mixing Cornstarch and water makes what is called "Non-Newtonian Fluid". It isn't tasty.......but its FUN!!!!!

i'm a crockpot lover!
here a couple of my favorites:
1) put the following into the crockpot: pound of veal cut into cubes, a sliced onion, pepper, some powdered soup mix or fat free chicken stock, and two cups of lentils. i like to keep it in the crockpot for as long as possible, and if you like lamb, it works well with the veal as well. This recipe is packed with flavor, fiber, and protein.
2) Put either quartered chicken or cubed chicken in the crockpot along with wild rice and chopped potatoes. Add fat free chicken stock, or use a healthy dose of mrs. dash or other spice mix. Add salt to taste. Another variation to this recipe is adding apricots instead of yams which gives it an amazing smell and tangy taste.

Not really a recipe, but when my kids were school aged I would triple cook meals on the weekend. During the week we would have it as a quick leftover dinner and I would freeze a portion. Pretty quickly the freezer becomes stocked with an assortment of fast and easy dinners. I did invest in a vacuum sealer to keep the frozen meals as fresh as possible.

brisket in the crockpot.

3 lb brisket, packet of Lipton dry onion soup mix & a jar of chili sauce (I use Heinz).

Cook for 6-8 hrs.

I shred it, add my homemade BBQ sauce & serve with buns.

btw, i made brisket in the crockpot once too. a nice addition is beer and liquid smoke. everyone said it was the best brisket they'd ever tasted.

Another for when you are around to check on it now and then like busy weekends.

Hot Fudge Pudding Cake
(Adapted from Betty Crocker)

1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1tablespoon instant coffee or espresso powder
2 teaspoons baking powder (preferably non-aluminum)
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup light brown sugar
¼ cup cocoa
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ¾ cup hot water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Measure flour, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa, the baking powder and ¼ teaspoon salt into a crockpot. Stir in milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla and melted butter; blend in nuts if using. Spread batter in an ungreased 9-inch square pan.

Stir together brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ cup cocoa; sprinkle over batter. Stir 2 teaspoons vanilla into hot water and pour gently over all.

Cook on low for 4 hours. Watch it, though because some crockpots cook faster. Once the top has cooked it's ready to serve. Serve warm with sweetened whipped cream or ice cream.

Here's a popular favorite amongst my guy friends..........

Take a frozen dinner from the freezer....

Heat in Microwave on HIGH for 6 minutes.

Remove plastic film and stir contents making sure that its heated all the way thru. If not.......heat for an additional 3 minutes.

Let meal sit on counter top to cool.

Eat and regret ever doing it.

Swear you won't ever do it again just before running to the bathroom for the next hour.

Come back and pick the tray up off the carpet because the dog licked it clean while you were on the john.

Throw tray in trash bin.

Grab the Pepto and call it a night.

Whole Chicken in the Crock Pot

One onion

One whole chicken, giblets removed

2 tsp. paprika

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. thyme leaves

1 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp. black pepper



Quarter the onion and place it in the bottom of the crock pot. Remove giblets from chicken, and rinse and dry it. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the spices. Rub over the entire chicken. Place the chicken on top of the onions in the crock pot. Cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 6-8 hours. YOu'll know it's done when the chicken is falling off the bone.

I should add in a lot of these the meat can be put in frozen. Get a timer for when you want it to start cooking. Some stoves have a timer.
