Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff I

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009

Doubled the soup and added some onion soup mix as many suggested. I thought it was quite good. The kids liked it more than I for some reason. Will make again though.

So easy that I agree with others- no need to buy the canned stuff again. I added 1/4 tsp. cinnamon which I thought was a nice touch. I simmered for about 12 min. Don't obsess over the time- just keep simmering and stir every couple of minutes until they are the consistency you like. I recommend making the day before and refrigerating overnight. They set up nicely this way.

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2009

Excellent soup. I used half red potatoes and half Yukon Gold. Did not peel. Also added some carrots and some frozen corn because I happened to have some and it seemed like the thing to do. It would have been very good without these additions though. Highly recommend.

Beef Bourguignon II

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2009

Excellent dish. I doubled and used equal parts beef broth and wine. Also added some celery with the carrots. Used some diced salt pork (per more traditional recipes)- brown that then use the drippings to brown your vegetables. Also added a tablespoon of tomato paste per many other recipes. Finally, managed to make this a one pot dish in my dutch oven- did everything in there. Also, cooked at 300 for three hours, removed meat and simmered on top of stove until reduced a bit. Very very good dish. Very rich. Served on extra wide egg noodles.

Easy and quick meal, and as you might guess, a big hit with the kids.

Chicken with Stuffing

Reviewed: Oct. 4, 2009

We liked this quite a bit. Used cornbread stuffing in a bag instead of stovetop mix. Also used broth instead of water.

Quick Biscuits

Reviewed: Sep. 26, 2009

I thought they were good, but not excellent. I am just not good at making biscuits though. Frozen Mary B are as good or better in my opinion, and a lot less trouble. But this recipe is one of the easier ones if you need to make them from scratch.

Catherine's Spicy Chicken Soup

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2009

Very good, made per recipe. This is a lot like a tortilla soup recipe I have. Not sure which I like best.

Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin

Reviewed: Aug. 18, 2009

I was only able to marinate for about four hours but it turned out great. 160 is overdone in my opinion. I pulled it out at almost 140 and let it rest in foil for about 10 min. Very juicy, slightly pink and tender, almost like prime rib. We served it with some sticky rice.

Pot Stickers Traditional

Reviewed: Aug. 2, 2009

Step four was confusing. I consulted Alton Brown's instructions. Put the pot stickers in the pan lightly coated with oil and do not stir or touch for two minutes. Then add 1/3 cup chicken broth, turn the heat down and cook for two minutes. They came out perfectly. A lot of work but a fun Sunday afternoon project for my daughter and me. Had to run several batches through my cast iron skillet to cook them all. We made some sticky rice for dipping in the sauce, and together this made a full meal and even some leftover pot stickers.

Bubba's Jambalaya

Reviewed: Jul. 26, 2009

Pretty darned good. Added some cayenne and Tabasco because we like it hot. Used andouille sausage. Simmered for 20 min. before adding rice, and as others reported, took longer than 20 min. for it to finish after that. Took it off the stove when it got to "jambalaya consistency." Not quite sticky, but almost. Very nice dish.

Baked Potato Skins

Reviewed: Jul. 18, 2009

My kids and I really enjoyed this (8-18). I can tell you from a previous attempt, the potatoes are difficult to scoop if you under-cook them. I did them in the microwave and checked with a digital meat thermometer to make sure they were at 210 degrees F. We will make again for sure. Saving the innards for some little fried potato patties another night.

Reuben Dip

Reviewed: Jul. 12, 2009

Very good dip and unique. Cheeses can get a little oily and runny, which didn't bother me but might put some people off.

Szechwan Shrimp

Reviewed: Jun. 20, 2009

This was very good and easy. I used raw shrimp (1 pound) since they cook so fast. I doubled the sauce as everyone recommended and was glad I did. Served over steamed rice. This was enough for one generous serving each for my daughter and me. You will want to multiply the recipe if you are serving more than two people.

Oyster Sauce Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 11, 2009

Interesting dish. I made exactly per the recipe and did not heed the warnings about it being too sweet. I tasted the sauce before I added it to the chicken and it did not taste too sweet to me. But when it was completely done, it was a little too sweet for my tastes. Will probably cut back on the sugar next time. Served over sushi rice which was nice and sticky.

Baked Teriyaki Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 22, 2009

I was making chicken wings using Alton Brown's steam/bake method but wanted a Teriyaki sauce to toss them in when they were done. So I can't attest to this exact recipe, but I can tell you the sauce is top-notch.
