  • I've got nothing considering our dinner came out of a frozen bag last night. But what would I have to do for you to give up your pancake recipe? ;;)

  • This is the best recipe for chicken or turkey. The stew part can be made into a pot pie, shepherds pie or like this with biscuits. I make it with turkey left overs after thanksgiving. Then I spoon it over left over mashed potatoes and stuffing. It's fabulous. I'm making it with the biscuits for my husbands contribution for his works pot luck because it can go nicely in a travel Pyrex dish.

  • @2010bride2be

    Can that be done in a crock pot? Like for pot lucks at work id love to have it all together and just bring it in and turn it on in the morning and it's all hot and ready at lunch time
  • Here's a recipe I LOVE!
    And to make it more kid friendly, I dont see why it wouldn't be just as good if you substituted the lobster and fish stock for chicken (or turkey) and chicken stock.

  • I love DH's grandfather's Shepherd's Pie bc it does not use creamed corn. We also just made it the other night!

    ~ 1 lb Ground Beef
    Corn and Peas
    1 can Cream of mushroom soup
    Boxed roasted garlic potatoes (we use the kind that comes with 2 packs in a box and use both packs)

    Fry up hamburg and drain the fat and put back into pan. Add cream of mushroom soup to hamburg- cook on low.

    Make potatoes according to package. Since boxed potatoes thicken upon standing it would help to have the hamburg/mushroom mixture in pan with veggies next. That way the potatoes can easily be spread on top.

    Bake at 350 F for 15-20 mins or until veggies are cooked.

  • i've got a good mac&cheese and shepherd's pie recipe for you that we use lax. also, instead of chicken soup, we make pho...in the crock pot ;)

    I'll get those recipes in here when I break for lunch...

  • I LOVE PHO.  My family thinks it's glorified ramen noodles.  My husband only eats meat and rice.  I have to sneak around to get me some pho.

    veggie pot pie -

    it is basically this :

    https://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/veggie-lovers-pot-pie/77a6b30c-f446-43b7-8a76-cb8e3cd4ca51

    but I use just a big double pie crust (like if you were making apple pie) instead of the crescent rolls, fresh vegetables instead of frozen,  and cheddar cheese not Parmesan.   It's yummy...very comforting and makes good left overs too.  Oh and use a little extra flour to thicken it up.

  • @laxminavkar those pancakes are delicious! Thanks for posting that.

  • sorry @LaxMOM44, I got distracted by coworkers yesterday and forgot to get this to you:

    Vietnamese Chicken Pho
    3 32 oz boxes of chicken stock
    2-3 cups cooked chicken, shredded (you can use raw chicken if you cut them up into smaller pieces)
    8 oz bean sprouts
    half to one yellow onion
    1 box rice stick noodles
    1 bunch basil, chopped (preferably Thai)
    Hoisin sauce, for serving
    lime wedges, for serving
    jalapenos, for serving

    1. Add stock and chicken to Crock Pot, Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3 hours.
    2. Add bean sprouts, onion, noodles and thai basil. Heat until noodles are softened
    3. Spoon soup into individual bowls and serve with hoisin sauce, lime wedges and jalapenos.

    If you want to make beef pho (way more ingredients so I usually don't bother):
    1 to 1 1/2 lb oxtails (If that's too expensive, substitute with short ribs.)
    1/2-lb eye of round beef slices (These are sold in Asian grocery stores already pre-sliced. If not, ask your butcher to slice them deli thin. Or use whatever meat you have on hand and slice it as thin as possible.)
    1 package of Rice noodles
    A dozen cloves, studded into an onion
    1 stick of cinnamon
    About 5 star anise pods
    1 tsp coriander seeds
    A 2-inch knob of ginger
    About 4 cloves of garlic
    1 carrot, cut into several sections
    2 tablespoon fish sauce, or more according to taste
    2 tsp salt, or more according to taste

    Optional: 3 cardamom pods. 1 small package of beef meat balls or beef tendon meat balls, book tripe, flank steak, any other meat parts you wish.

    1. I use a mesh ball to place my spices inside. Afterward, I just pull the ball out and dump the spices. Use a cheesecloth if you don't have one. Add cloves, coriander seeds, cardamom pods, ginger, clove-studded onion, star anise, and cinnamon into the mesh ball.
    2. Wash and rinse 1 lb of oxtails. Add to Crock Pot. Add in the mesh ball of spices, clove-studded onion, ginger, carrot, and garlic.
    3. Fill the pot with water. Also, add about 2 tsp salt and 2 tblsp fish sauce. Cover and let simmer on high for at least 6 hours.
    4. After 6 hours, remove the onion, carrots, ginger, garlic, and spice ball. Then using my skimming spoon, I removed as much of the impurities on top as I could. The fine mesh also grabs excess fat.
    5. Serve with condiments and whatever meat you want!

  • hey @LaxMOM44, did you end up making the pho? I know the chicken one is super stupid simple, but I always thought it turned out yummy...and the beef one is just plain tasty if you feel like finding all those ingredients!

  • My favorite comfort food is my mom's beef burgundy... and it's conveniently extremely easy to make.  I use the crock pot, but you can also use a casserole dish in the oven.

    2 pounds stew beef

    2 cans of GOLDEN mushroom soup (we use campbells, not sure if there's other kinds)

    1 large yellow onion, diced

    1 soup can full of hearty red wine

    1 small package of sliced mushrooms

    Everything goes in the crockpot on low for 8 hours or medium for 6.  We switch between serving it over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.

    BTW, I never make my own crust. The refrigerated Pillsbury stuff is just fine and it's such a time saver.

    2. Shred sharp cheese and slice velveeta brick.

    3. Put noodles and cheese in baking pan, layering. (noodles, cheese, noodles, cheese, etc)

    3. Mix salt, pepper, egg, and evaporated milk.

    4. Pour above mixture over noodles/cheese in pan.

    You had my heart at "velveeta cheese brick"

    I'd put a Movember mustache fail, but then
    you'd all have to look at it until February.
  • @CNJ4EVA Ina Garten recipes are the best.  I'm a baker and pie crust stresses me out.  I always use the pilsbury ones.

    Here's another velveeta recipe that I love.  My mom made something similar when i was younger, but used ground beef.  This calls for sausage and it turns out great.  I always make it when my nieces and nephews come over.  They request it because I think they don't realize there's zucchini in it...

  • Just realized I never posted the chicken soup recipe.  I don't know the proportions, because we eyeball everything:

    Boil chicken legs/thighs with salt.  Skim fat periodically.  Once no more fat rises, add carrots, celery, onion, salt, pepper, and fresh dill.  Cook on low pretty much all day.  Serve over cooked pasta.
