Eight Can Soup

2011-11-06T14:33:00.001-07:00

1 pound lean ground beef, browned
1 can (10 3/4 ounce size) condensed tomato soup, undiluted
1 can (10.5 ounce size) condensed vegetable soup, undiluted
1 can (15 ounce size) chili with beans
1 can (15 ounce size) chili without beans
1 can (15 ounce size) mixed vegetables, undrained
1 can (14.5 ounce size) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (10 ounce size) diced tomatoes with green chili peppers, undrained
1 can (15 ounce size) whole kernel corn, undrained

PREPARATION:

Add all the ingredients to a 6-quart (no smaller) Crock Pot and stir until completely mixed together. DO NOT drain liquid! DO NOT add additional liquid either. Simply heat on High for about 30 to 45 minutes or until mixture starts to bubble; then turn to Low.

COOK'S NOTES:

That's it! It's ready-to-serve! However, I've found that if you allow this soup to continue cooking on Low for about 3 to 4 hours before serving, it will taste even better because the flavors will have melded together nicely.

Crock Pot Pork Loin

2011-10-29T21:42:00.000-06:00

Basically, one pork loin (because it is just the 2 of us I tend to get the small ones - 10-15 oz.

Mix together:

1/3 cup water
2 T brown gravy mix (I use low sodium)
2 T Onion Soup Mix
3 T soy sauce.

Mix all ingredients together.

put pork loin into crock pot
smear 1-2 T crushed garlic over pork loin,
pour the other ingredients over the pork loin

Cook on HI for 4 hours or low for 6 hours

Watch that it does not cook dry (I tend to have to add 1/4 water after 2 hours on high or 4 hours on low) My crock pot cooks almost at a boil on BOTH settings LOL!)

Anyway, it is soooo good. The gravy is just to DIE for and the loin is moist and tender.

I like this recipe because I can scale it down for smaller loin (10 oz) or scale it up for large 4 lb loin.

Cool Whip Cookies

2011-10-27T16:54:00.001-06:00

1 (8 oz.) Cool Whip, thawed
2 eggs
1 pkg. lemon cake mix, dry (you can use any other)
1/3 c. confectioners sugar

Beat together the cool whip and eggs. Add the cake mix and continue to mix. Dough will be very thick. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Drop by 1/2 teaspoonfuls into a bowl of confectioner sugar and roll to coat. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 8-12 min. till bottoms are golden brown. These don't look like they're done, but they are.

Tastes great!

Yield: I got 93 cookies

I cooked mine for 12 minutes.
