Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Made this yesterday and loved it!

Ingredients

  • 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 5 1/2 pounds pot roast 

Directions

  1. In a slow cooker, mix cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup mix and water. Place pot roast in slow cooker and coat with soup mixture.
  2. Cook on High setting for 3 to 4 hours, or on Low setting for 8 to 9 hours. 


I used beef broth instead of the water but it came out too strong and salty so I'd advise to use the water.

Crunchy Chicken Tenders

My kids favorite dinner ( I got it out of the sneaky chef book )
What you need:
1 lb boneless skinless chicken tenders
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 large eggs
1/2 cup pureed sweet potatos (you can add carrots too)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese &
2 cups of this bread mix:
1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
1 cup slivered almonds
1 cup wheat germ (unsweetened)
1 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Season chicken tenders with salt. Place flour in a shallow dish or on a plate. Beat eggs with pureed sweet potatos in shallow bowl & place next to the flour. In a third shallow dish, combine bread mix with parmesan cheese.
Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, then the egg mix & then the bread mix. Put on lightly sprayed cookie sheet (I use parchment paper) & bake for 10 to 12 min. Turn over once with tongs, then return to oven for another 10 to 12 min.

Chicken Cordon Bleu

4 or 5 chicken cutlets. Pound as flat as possible. Cut each breast in half. Take 1/4 slice of thinly sliced ham and 1/4 slice thinly sliced swiss cheese and place on one side of chicken. Fold chicken over, dip in flour, then in mixture of beaten egg, salt, pepper, and 1/2 egg shell of water, then in breadcrumbs. Saute in butter 5 minutes each side. Remove chicken from pan. Saute mushrooms and onions in juice (1 med can mushrooms, 3/4 cup chopped onions). Add 1/2 cup white wine (sherry or sautern), 1/4 c. water (use for thickening with flour), 1 can chicken broth, 1/2 pt heavy cream. Heat, thicken and return chicken to pan. Bake covered 1/2 hour.

This was one of Nanny's favorite meals for guests - and it was delicious. It is good served with rice. Poppy didn't like chicken, but even he liked this.

Eggs Taos

1 large clove garlic, minced
1/2 onion, chopped
1/4 cup buter
1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 cups milk, heated
1 7 oz can chopped green chiles
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

10 eggs
2 avocados
8 flour tortillas
3 cups shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup sour cream
2 tomatoes, chopped (or salsa)

8 servings

In large skillet, saute garlic and onion in butter over high heat. Stir in flour. Add heated milk and whisk constantly until thick. Add green chiles, salt and pepper. Remove sauce from heat and set aside.

In large skillet, scramble eggs; set aside. In small bowl, mash avocados. Spoon 2 Tbsp of sauce, 1/8 of eggs, and 1/8 of avocado on each tortilla. Roll up and place seam side down in 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Spoon remaining sauce over tortillas. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees 15-20 minutes or until hot. Top with sour cream and chopped tomato.

Great dish for a brunch. I usually serve it with salsa on the side instead of the sour cream and chopped tomato.

Spinach Quiche

Mix together one package thawed Stouffer's Spinach Souffle; 2 eggs.; 3 Tblsp milk; 2 tsp chopped onion; 1/2 cup sliced drained mushrooms; 3/4 c. cooked crumbled Italian sausage; and 3/4 cup grated Swiss cheese. Pour into unbaked 9 inch pie shell and bake at 400 for 25-30 minutes. Serves 4-5

I made this when Travis and Carrie were little and they loved it (without the mushrooms). It was one of the few ways I could get them to eat vegetables. I make it a variety of different ways now - I usually omit the Italian sausage. I make a Mexican version with corn, black beans and monterey jack cheese, and I've also made it with crab meat - you can get really creative.

1 Box cake mix of fun fetti

1/3 cup of oil

2 eggs

Mix all of this together, roll into 1 inch balls, press until 1/4 inch thick, bake at 375* for 7 minutes. Cool completely if you want to frost them.

This recipe I think is also on the cake box of fun fetti.
