Here are a few to > try! > > Slow Cooked Beef Stew > > Ingredients: > 2 1/2 pounds lean beef-cut into cubes > 1 pound baby carrots > 2 1/2 potatoes, cut in eighths > 2 1/2 sweet onions, sliced thinly > 1 tomatoes, Italian-style canned, tomatoes, undrained > 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce > 2-3 tbsp. flour > 1 tsp. salt > 1/2 tsp. pepper > 1/2 tsp. dried thyme, or 1 tsp. fresh > 1/2 tsp. dried basil > > Brown the beef cubes in a large skillet, seasoning > with salt and pepper lightly. Place a layer of the > vegetables in the crock, and then a layer of the meat. > Repeat until it's all layered. Mix the flour and the > seasonings together. Sprinkle the mixture over each > meat layer. Sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce as > well. After layering, pour stewed tomatoes over all, > cover and cook on low 10-12 hours. NOTES: I also > like to drizzle with herb vinegar in place of the > Worcestershire sauce. A good way to prepare this > is to cut all the meat and vegetables the night before- > placing the vegetables in one plastic bag or bowl and > the meat in another. In the morning you assemble > and it cooks all day long. A great busy day meal! > This could easily be doubled and served for a crowd, > or used as leftovers for lunches! Serve with corn > bread. I also blend up the tomatoes because my kids > don't like "chunky" things in their food. > > Southwestern Corn Chowder > > Ingredients: > 1/2 pound of cubed ham > 1 (16 1/2 ounce) can cream style corn > 1 11 ounce can whole kernel corn > 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies > 1 cup sour cream, lowfat is fine > 1 cup milk > > Combine ham, both kinds of corn and chilies. Cook > over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the > mixture just comes to a boil. This will take about > 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and stir in the > sour cream and milk. Cook 3-4 minutes longer until > heated through, stirring occasionally. 6 servings. > > Slow Cooked Italian Sausage Soup > > Ingredients: > 1/2 pound hot Italian sausage > 1 cup sliced carrots or baby carrots > 1 large diced potato > 1 garlic clove minced > 2 15 ounce cans beef broth > 15 can cooked northern or navy beans > 14 ounce can diced tomatoes (Italian style is nice) > 1 1/2 cups water > 1/2 tsp. dried Italian seasoning > 1 cup fresh green beans, cut into one inch pieces > Optional: 1 cup chopped cabbage or spinach > Parmesan Cheese > > Brown the sausage, and at the end saute the > garlic, careful not to scorch.
