For beef stew: I forgot to say, if it's too runny you may add up to 1 cup milk, if it's too thin you may add corn starch and water, ours was a bit too thick, I should have added milk.

Beef stew


Ok, so this pic does not look good, but it tasted pretty good, I promise.

In crock pot add:
1 small can cream mushroom soup
1 small can cream cellery soup
1 package dry onion soup mix

Mix this together then add:

2 lbs stew meat, browned
2 cups chopped potatoes
20 baby carrots cut into 3rds

The recipe says to cook on high for 4 hours, then cook on low for 6, but I started out on high and after 4 hours my potatoes were starting to go a little mushy because they were over done, so I would recommend maybe cooking it on low for 6 hours, just go by what your crock pot does.

For the last 20 mins, add 1 cup frozen peas.

ENJOY, may serve with hard rolls.

Pork tacos

Pork Tacos
I have to give Kate all the credit for this yummy, EASY recipe. I got it from her.

Put a bonless, skinless pork roast in the crock pot with 1 c. picante salsa and 1 c. brown sugar.

Cook on low for 3 hours, take out, cut into 3rds, cook on low 2 hours, take it out shred it, and cook for 1 more hour.

It's ready to go, you can serve it in taco shells or tortillas. Put your favorite toppings on it, cheese, lettuce, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, etc.

I put a spoon of white minute rice under my meat, you may put refried beans, black beans, etc. under it if you would like, or just eat it plain.

Also Kate deep fries her corn tortillas in veg oil and a little bit of garlic salt. This is very good, but it is also good on tortillas just warmed up or baked if you want to go the more healthier route.

ENJOY!!!
