When i make pot roast in the CP, i use lipton beefy onion soup mix, beef broth and some garlic powder, salt & fresh pepper. basically cut up carrots, onions, and potatoes, layer them in the bottom of the CP, season your meat w/ the garlic powder, salt & pepper, and place it on top of the vegetables, pour in 1 packet soup mix mixed with water + 1 -2 cans of beef broth (Franco American beef gravy works well too) and cook it.
When it''s done, lift out meat & veggies, turn CP to "high" and thicken gravy with cornstarch mixed with a little water or a rue (flour + butter heated to make a thickening paste) and taste for final seasoning.
It always works out for me when I do it this way! Kmom, let''s hear how you do it!

Jenn, this is almost exactly how I did it except I did not use the lipton this time. I seasoned my own flavorings, gave it a coat of flour then, browned it in my dutch cooker for a little while just to get a crust, then placed it in the cooker with the veggies you mentioned, poured about a cup of water and a few (scant) shakes of boullion seasoning. Threw in a can of mushrooms during the last hour of cooking and thickened it all at the end. We had leftovers tonight. Yum.Date: 1/17/2005 5:420 PM

Another variation of this is when I add a can of stewed tomatoes.
I love adding a pat of butter in the end to certain things. I do this to my chowder. It''s very french.

For belle, jenn and other crockpot friends:
BASIC CP CHILI:
1 # ground beef
1 # cut up beef (round, chuck, tri tip, flap)
2 med onions
2 cans stewed tomatoes
lots of garlic
chili seasoning
cumin (the stuff that makes you sure you are eating or smelling a chili something)
s/p to taste
2-3 cans assorted beans, drained
On high heat, brown meat, onions and garlic. If using other veggies, add them after meat is cooked. Add all ingredients (including any liquid which extracts from the meats) except beans to crockpot and cook for 4 hrs on high, 6-8 on low. Add beans during the last 1-2 hrs of cooking. The cut up beef will add a chunkiness which my DH really likes. Serve with cheese, avocado, jalapenos, chips, rice, cornbread, the possibilities are endless! This recipe is so rustic and simple, it is true comfort food.
Note these proportions are for the 6qt CP which I have. If you are using a smaller cooker, you need to adjust the proportions accordingly.
variations:
add other diced veggies like celery, carrots, peppers, etc.

I love cooking and this thread has to be my new favortie!
Libster - My mom makes that breakfast cassrole every year for our Christmas Day brunch. It is the only time we get it, and shes been doing it for 20+ years! She was drawn to it originally because you could make it the night before and just pop it in the oven the next morning while us kids were opening presents! ITS WONDERFUL!
My contribution:
Originally got this recipe while i was doing Weigh Watchers with my mom. Its one of those that you can put in what you like, and take out what you dont. Ive made it for several football parties and everyone LOVED it (even the boys). I didnt tell them it was healthy until after they tried it. Now everyone asks me to make it!
1 Point Chili
1 lb of lean ground Turkey (can be left out for vegetarian chili)
1 package of Taco Seasoning
2-3 16oz jars of your favorite salsa, this is the main part of the chili
or 2 cans of your favorite Rotel (drained, if you like thicker chili) and 1 16oz jar of your favorite salsa
Your favorite veggies (I use 3-4 celery stalks, 1 huge onion, 2 small squash and 2 small zuccini) cut in bite-size chunks
Favorite type of beans (optional, and how ever many you like, i use 2 normal size cans of pintos when i add beans)
1 small can of Tomato Paste (optional, i use it to ever so slightly thicken the chili, add more if you like it thicker)
In a large pot add 1-2 tablespoons of oil (i use olive oil or spray Pam sometimes). Add onion and 1 tablespoons of taco seasoning. Let cook 2-3 minutes. Add the turkey and 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning. Stir occasionally until turkey is pretty much cooked (i use this time to cut up my other veggies). Add the veggies in order of what will take the longest to cook, stiring after each addition. Add salsa and tomato paste, stir. Add in remaining taco seasoning. Cover and let simmer until veggies are soft. Stir in beans and cook until they are warmed.
Weight Watchers defined a serving as 1 cup which is worth 1 point. I usually eat about 2 cups at a time, it is VERY filling. One pot can generously serve 6-8 people. I put the left overs in plastic containers in individual servings and freeze. They are great to grab and take to work for lunch. 5-6 minutes in the microwave and they are great.
This recipe is very forgiving, just add in how much of whatever you like. The salsa and taco seasoning are what make this recipe. Ive added fresh hot peppers and tabasco sauce for extra kick. You can use carrots, radishes, tomatos, green peppers, whatever veggies you like, but i do recommend trying the squash and/or zuccini or others even if you dont like them. They break down and everything tastes like the taco seasoning, so no nasty veggie flavors!
Sorry this was so long, but its SOOOOOO good and easy to change!

oooh, Kmom--I like the idea of browning first--will do next time for sure! And yes--that pat of butter at the end for sauces, soups, gravies just ''glosses" the sauce and adds that little bit of extra "something" ( the "j''neau ce qua" in French--horrible spelling but you know what i mean!)Date: 1/18/2005 2:28:47 AM

I was of absolutely no help to the fellow who wants to propose in Portuguese, but may I help you with this? It''s spelled, "je ne sais quoi" and pronounced "juhn say kwah".

Hi All!
I love this thread!
I like to think I am ''sous chef'' to my fella at home when we cook since he primarily does the cooking (looks very cute in an apron) and I just pass him things then eat it to make sure it tastes ok!
I do have a lovely receipe that I am making tonight ......it''s from a low carb cook book and is very yummy!
PEANUT/COCONUT CHICKEN SKEWERS
4 6-oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup of peanut butter
2 teaspons of sweetener (splenda)
1/4 tsp lime juice
1/2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp garlic powder
2 cups coconut flakes (dried & unsweetened)
approx 16 bamboo skewers
Preheat oven at 350F (about gas mark 4 for those in UK)
Line a large baking tray with greaseproof paper. Cut chicken breasts into 12 cubes and thread onto each skewer (soak skewers in water for 15 mins first).
Mix peanut butter,mayo,lime juice,sweetener,garlic and curry powder. Pour in a large shallow dish. spread coconut onto a large plate. Rll each skewer in mayo mixture coating only chicken and letting excess drip off. Roll in coconut and place on baking sheet without overlapping.
Bake for 20 mins until coconut is golden brown. Serve warm or at room temp.
Hope you enjoy

ONE POINT CHILI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good lord, this I have to try. Been counting WW points like crazy lately and this could do the trick to satisfy a chili craving. Thanks NJC.
The dear dear finance last night said, we are having fish. I am a VERY picky fish eater. But, wow did he do GOOD work. It was Scrod, which just by the name alone I thought I would hate that he herbed a bit and then tossed this curry sauce over it. And for those of us counting WW points and trying to look good for the walk down the aisle, the 4.5 oz serving including the sauce came out to like 5 pts. I''ll get receipe up here over the weekend if anyone wants it.
I love this thead now.

Kmom, it's not exclusively a cooking term...it kind of means that little special something about a thing or person that makes it/them unique/unforgettable... food, a woman, a diamond....there may be that undefinable element that just makes it special.... So this French phrase is a common expression for that.
So, the butter adds that "little extra special somehting" to most foods (not to mention calories and saturated fat but hey, this isn't the diet thread

I made a Classic Filet w/ Crispy Shallots and Risotto Cakes w/ Dried Cran-Raisin Demi (today)
I also served this today for lunch for my Exec''s.
They eat kinda nice for being the smartest docters in SD. imo
Tiger Shrimp Over Angel Hair & Roasted Yellow Pepper Breu Blanc. (hard on the heart!)
An easy dish. One of my fav''s for those admins..... Make the admins happy!.
About 5-6 21-35/lb Tiger Shrimp, Saute with butter, S/p and splash white wine to deglaze. Set aside
Roasted peppers ( 5) about 20min. @ 350. I toss them with a little s/p and evoo.
Place them in a bowl, wrap w/ plastic, and let them cool at room temp (about 30-40min)
Next peel skin, deseed, and strain through cheesecloth or coffee filters. Save liquid!!!
Blend with liquid, not to much though. Don''t want to add to much air in to the mix.
Take a 1 lb unsalted butter (Roomtemp). Dice it in to about 10 cudes.
Bring mixture to med/(low) heat. Add one cude stiring it in till its desolved. Then add another.... and so on. After all butter is infused. Add a touch of lemon juice.
Should be thinner than a alfado but still coats a spoon!
Get a pan hot, A little butter toss shrimp and pasta inn and about 4oz of Sauce. Add a little lemon tyhme and you got a dish that sells for $21.99 !
And you only spent about 7-8 bucks. and about 45min.
Not the best recipe. But makes for a party pleaser!

Sorry.. I was typing a little fast through that whole thing... (sp)
But there''s alot of cooking terms that must of you know just "may" not understand.
The homestyle foods are the best... There warm comfort food makes everyone happy.
Cooking isn''t about making the $$$ dish. It''s about making food taste the way it should and the way you want it too.
chili to soup, chicken to steak
salt and pepper = a cooks two best friends
I''ll post a few more later. I just got done with the todays paperwork

I really thought it was a culinary thing.Yeah, I try not to think about the calories either, as long as the extra something is special.

You know the old tradition that if someone gives you a cake you should return the pan with a cake in it? I decided that the tradition with bumps should be that if someone bumps a recipe thread for you, you should reply with a recipe. (If you want to.)
I have been planning to make a Mississsippi Mud cake to be divided between my neighbor (who has beein ill) and my husband (who loves dark chocolate). I haven't made it yet, but the ingredients are now in the house. (I think I had everything except the chocolate already.) I may have posted this before. I have no idea. It is a cake my mother made throughout my life.
Mississippi Mud Cake
3 cups boiling water
6 pkgs chocolate
1 1/2 sticks butter
Boil the above for one minute and cool.
3 eggs, beaten
3 cups sugar
Mix into cooled chocolate mixture.
Add 3 cups regular flour, sifted with 1 1/2 tsp.s (baking) soda, 3/4 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. vanilla. (Seeing this in print I realized that the recipe appears to say that one should sift the vanilla. If it does, I never did it! I wouldn't know how to sift vanilla...unless it was powdered! And I use vanilla extract!)
Don't grease pans! (Use 2 9" square or round.) (I have used one large pan to good effect.)
Bake in a 250 degree oven for 1- 1 1/2 hours.
My mother used to powder the top with confectioner's sugar and serve the cake with real whipped cream. One can also use vanilla ice cream. I bought some dark Belgian chocolate ice cream to serve it to my husband. (If I ever make the cake. If I don't, he can eat the ice cream plain.)

The security system guy is here, so I am home for the duration. My Mississippi Mud cake is in the oven. One layer goes to my next door neighbor, who has been ill, and the other is for my husband. I bought some whipping cream, too! The dog almost bit the security system guy. I had to explain that he does not want to spend any time on my porch!
