Instead of hijacking the grille thread, I'll start a recipes thread (since I kinda stepped into it already).
If a mod wants to stickie this that would be great!
Personal recipes are preferred, but do give credit if a fav is authored by somebody else.
I'll dig thru the Mrs. food library and post up a few of my favorites.
Two-step chili (no beans so it's gas free!)Courtesy of Dr. Atkins cookbook;
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 3/4" pieces (I look for a well marbled piece of chuck, and then have the meat guy cube it for me for free)
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
1 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup medium heat chunky salsa
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced green onions optional
#1) Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown beef in 3 batches. Return beef and accumulated juices to Dutch oven.
#2) Stir in tomatoes, broth, garlic, salsa, chili powder, and oregano. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Cover tightly and simmer 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours, until beef is tender. serve with condiments mentioned if desired.
Crock pot pudding cake (so simple even water burners can do it)Courtesy of the 1999 AAL cookbook.
1 package (18.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups sour cream
4 eggs
1 cup water
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup (6 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
Whipped cream, ice cream optional
In a mixing bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into 5 qt. slow cooker that has been coated with nonstick cooking spray. Cover and cook for 6-7 hours or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs. Serve in bowls with options if desired. 10-12 servings.
Stiffer than pudding, less firm than cake. And then the chocolate chips! Yikes. Not for the faint of heart!
