Justin's Hoosier Daddy Chili

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009
I am a bigger fan of Taco Soup, but this was good chili! The few changes I made was....one can of rotel rather than crushed tomatoes. I used one can of pintos and one of spicy chili beans rather than two cans of pintos. (I really like kidney beans, but didn’t have any on hand). I too like a thicker chili, so rather than two cans of chicken broth, I used chicken granules, dissolved in 1/2 C of water. I threw in a beef bouillon cube to the chicken granules. I cooked this in the crockpot on low for 8 hours. This had a great kick to it!! I took an easy route and served with crackers. For left-overs tonight, I am going to serve with grilled cheese sandwiches. Very good.....thanks!

Taco Casserole

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2009
This was really quick and good and I had most of the ingredients on hand. I used whole wheat pasta, one can of tomato soup, and one can of rotel. I used frozen onion, and one package of taco seasoning. As an extra kick, I added black and red pepper (we like it spicy) and extra cheese. I used 12 oz of Mexican Blend cheese. I stirred half of the cheese in the beef mixture, with the remaining 6 oz on top. I baked this in the oven for 20 minutes and added the crushed chips as I served my family, with extra chips and salsa on the side.

Kristin’s Chicken Casserole (uses Rotisserie Chicken)

Reviewed: Feb. 12, 2009
This was just OK. Ron liked it. I think it needed to have the cheese mixed in with the other ingredients and cheese crackers spread on top. The broccoli needs to go in HOT so that it will cook quicker.

Easy Slow Cooker French Dip

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2009
We love this recipe and make it every couple of weeks. I use 1 tsp of liquid smoke; 3 tsp of Worcestershire; ½ tsp of minced garlic; 1 Lakefront Eastside Dark Beer (or whatever DARK beer is available!) Do not use anything but dark!; 1 can of Campbell’s French Onion soup w/ beef stock; 1 can of double rich Campbell’s Beef Broth, 1 tsp of black pepper; 1 tsp of salt and then a 3 ½ to 4 pound roast. I have used both rump roasts and sirloin tip roasts. I am a working Mom, so I put all of my ingredients in the crock pot at night and place it in the refrig…..in the morning before I leave for work, I flip the roast and cook for 8 to 10 hours on low. We eat this on many varieties of sandwich rolls, but we always toast them. My boys like for me to drain all of the juice off of the sandwich, but my husband like the messier version w/ lots of juice. I always add a slice of cheese to each sandwich, based on our individual preference. Leftover are great, but this freezes well too!!!!! A BASIC in our house.

Glazed Ham

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2009
I cooked this for our Christmas lunch and I have never cooked a raw ham before as we typically buy a Honey Baked Ham (that cost WAY more than a raw ham!) This came out different than I expected, more like pulled roast versus sliced ham, but it was really good. It was pretty salty, but it had a great flavor. My family did go back for seconds at lunch. My husband loves spicy food and made several sandwiches w/ the ham adding Pete’s Extra Hot sauce. I would make this again!!!

Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Jan. 4, 2009
I cooked my potatoes a couple of hours before our Christmas lunch, keeping the skin on. After they were done, my husband started peeling the potatoes for me. I started w/ a few potatoes and some half and half and used my electric beater to mix. As he got more peeled, I added more potatoes, and more half and half, etc, etc. I eventually added my salt and black pepper. Right before serving lunch, I heated the potatoes in the microwave and added a stick of butter. They were really thick and very tasty. My children love mashed potatoes and went back for seconds….and yes, thirds.

I did not care for this recipe. I think something went wrong with the hot cream cheese; there was just SO much of it. This will not be a repeat.

Zucchini Mousaka

Reviewed: Jul. 16, 2008
Ron and I both love this recipe. I think Veronica likes the filling without the squash. I have used both a zucchini and yellow squash mixture, not having enough zucchini, and it was excellant. This makes enough filling to have for another meal. Freezes well. Served with Tomato, Mozzarella, Basil, and Olive Oil Salad. Use Grey Salt and Fresh Cracked Pepper.

This is a recipe I have not thought of in almost 40 years. Every year a friend of my mom-in-law would make her 2 of these beauties only she made them in tube pans and traded them for a goose that she got at the commissary. Thanks for bringing it back for me!

SORRY - but my family found this too boring. The last reviewer stated that the basil was overwhelming and the fresh tomatoes added nothing to the dish. DITTO.

Roasted Root Vegetables

Reviewed: Mar. 1, 2008
I really love the roasted veggies. I added diced sweet potato and diced turnip after the first 15 minutes and they were wonderful. Be sure that all veggies are cut to approximatly the same size pieces so they cook evenly. Yummy!
