Crockpot Tender Steaks
by Writermom
My own simple recipe:
Brown tender cut steaks in olive oil, salt and pepper and flour
Place in the bottom of crockpot. Top with 4-5 minced garlic cloves and one chopped onion. Top with potatoes and carrots or whatever veggies you want. Cook on low. You can add a bit of flavor by adding a few dry bay leaves.
My steaks fall apart and the kids can eat them. I don't add any liquid. They make their own liquid.

Mushroom Chili (uptown chili) by munchkinhead426
Mushroom chili (also uptown chili)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Uptown Down-Home Chili
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 pounds ground sirloin
2 tablespoons grill seasoning (recommended: McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning) a palm full
1/2 pound baby Portobello mushrooms, chopped
1/4 pound shiitake mushroom caps, sliced
1 medium yellow skinned onion, chopped
3 ribs celery, chopped
4 to 6 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo, chopped, with their juices or 1 generous palm full ground chipotle chili powder, about 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon ground cumin, half a palm full
1 bottle imported beer (I use beef broth instead)
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup beef stock (8-ounce box)
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
8-ounce piece smoked Gouda, shredded
1 small white onion, finely chopped
Heat a deep, large skillet or a pot over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and the meat. Season it with grill seasoning and sear it up, browning and crumbling it, for 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer meat to a plate and return pot to stove. Reduce heat to medium- high and add another tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Add the mushrooms and begin to brown them before adding the other veggies. After 2 or 3 minutes the mushrooms will begin to shirk and soften. Push the mushrooms off to one side of the pot and add all the remaining veggies to the opposite side of the pot surface. Once the onions, celery, peppers and garlic have been working for a few minutes as well, mix the veggies with the mushrooms. Add the meat back, season with Worcestershire sauce, chipotle in adobo or chipotle powder and cumin. Add in beer to deglaze the pot, scraping up all the pan drippings. Reduce the beer by half, about 2 minutes. Add the black beans, tomatoes, stock and thyme to chili and simmer 10 minutes for flavors to combine. Taste to adjust seasonings. Top bowls of the chili with shredded smoked Gouda and finely chopped raw onions.
The aim and final reason of all music is none else but the glory of God. -J.S. Bach

Taco Casserole (diabetic) by writermom
Taco Casserole
(Type 2 Diabetes Cookbook)
8 oz. pkg. med-width noodles, such as fettuccine
1 1/2 to 2 lbs lean ground beef
1/4 cup diced onion
2 Tbsp. diced celery
2 Tbsp. diced green pepper
1/4 cup "lite" sour cream
1 package taco seasoning mix
28oz. can stewed tomatoes
1. Boil noodles per package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a skillet, brown ground beef and drain off fat. Add onion, celery, green pepper, and sour cream. Simmer for 10-12 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 350°. Transfer meat mixture to a large casserole dish. Add noodles to the meat mixture. Add package of taco seasoning and stewed tomatoes. Stir until well blended. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until hot and bubbly.
Yield: 5 cups, 10 servings (1/2 cup serving)
calories 240
Note: I used a 12 oz. box for my large family, and used about a half of a green pepper ( I didn't measure). I think it's also easier to distribute the taco seasoning, by mixing it into the meat mixture before you add it to the noodles. I let my kids top it with shredded cheddar cheese. YUM! For us I used whole wheat noodles also.

Inside-Out Bacon Cheeseburgers with Grilled Green Onion Mayo Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray
5 slices bacon, chopped
4 scallions, cleaned and trimmed
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1 1/3 pounds ground beef sirloin
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, eyeball it
1 tablespoon steak seasoning blend or coarse salt and black pepper
1/2 pound extra sharp white cheddar cheese, crumbled
1 cup mayonnaise or reduced fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper
4 crusty Kaiser rolls, split
4 leaves crisp romaine lettuce
Preheat grill pan over high heat.
In a medium pan brown bacon over medium high heat and drain on paper towel lined plate.
Brush scallions with a little oil and grill on hot grill pan 2 or 3 minutes on each side. Remove from heat to cool.
Combine ground beef with Worcestershire and steak seasoning or salt and pepper. Divide meat into 4 equal parts. Combine cheese crumbles and cooked bacon. Take 1/4 of the meat in your hand and make a well in the center of it. Pile in cheese and bacon, then carefully form the burger around the cheese and bacon filling. Make sure the fillings are completely covered with meat. When all 4 patties are formed, drizzle burgers with oil and place on hot grill pan. Cook 2 minutes on each side over high heat, reduce heat to medium low and cook burgers 7 or 8 minutes longer, turning occasionally. Do not press down on burgers as they cook. Transfer burgers to a plate and let them rest 5 minutes before serving.
Chop cooled, grilled green onions and add to a food processor. Add mayonnaise and cumin to the food processor and pulse the onions and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper, to your taste.
Pile burgers on crusty buns and top with crisp lettuce leaves and a slather of green onion mayonnaise. As you bite into the burgers, you will find a smoky, cheesy surprise at the center.

Shepherd's Pie...recipe link...and how I make it! allrecipes.com/Recipe/Zippy-S...ie/Detail.aspxINGREDIENTS 1 pound potatoes, peeled and chopped 1 tablespoon canola oil 1 pound ground beef 1 large onion, finely chopped 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 1 (14 ounce) can beef broth 2 tablespoons ketchup 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon mild curry powder 1 tablespoon cornstarch 2 tomatoes, coarsely chopped 1 (16 ounce) package frozen mixed peas and carrots 1/4 cup milk 1 tablespoon butter 1 cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese salt and pepper to taste READ REVIEWS (43) Review/Rate This Recipe Save To Recipe Box Add to Shopping List Add a Personal Note Post a Recipe Photo Post a Favorite Food List Create a Menu DIRECTIONS Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add potatoes, and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes; drain, and return to pan. While potatoes are boiling, heat oil in a large skillet. Cook ground beef with onion, red pepper, and garlic until beef is evenly brown. Stir in beef broth, ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and curry powder. Bring to a boil, and simmer 3 to 4 minutes. Mix cornstarch with a little water to form a paste, then stir into skillet with tomatoes, peas and carrots. Cook until thickened; season with salt and pepper. Spoon into a casserole dish. Preheat oven on broiler setting. Add milk and butter to cooked potatoes, and whip until smooth and creamy. Spoon over meat mixture. Sprinkle top with shredded cheese. Place under broiler for 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and speckled with brown. How I MAKE IT...however, I must say that I modify EVERY recipe! cook meat w/ onion and garlic (add more garlic!) I use fresh tomatoes if I have them on hand...if not, I add a little extra ketchup. I use organic ketchup so it doesn't have much sugar...you could also add a little bit of tomato paste. I use corn (frozen or canned) instead of peas and carrots. I just make my mashed potatoes however I want to...usually buttermilk instead of milk and I use more butter. Last time I made this, I made 3 batches of the meat mixture including the corn, and froze two. They were great! |
