Thanks, Puzzler! I'm going to try it! I'll be substituting red or yellow bell pepper for the green, so I'll let you know how it turns out! Green Pepper is one of the few veggies that my crew doesn't care for, but my bet is it will still be really good!

4 stalks celery cut into 1 inch pieces
3 large potatoes washed and cubed into 1 inch pieces
1 large onion chopped
1 clove garlic minced
1 bay leaf

2 tsp cornstarch
2 tsp cold water


1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper

In a large ziplock bag put in flour , salt pepper and beef and shake.  In a large skillet heat oil and put coated beef in and brown.  Add onions to soften then pour beef and onion into slow cooker.  Add bullion cubes and 2 cups of the water to skillet and stir to loosen all the bits at the bottom and dissolve bullion.  Pour into slow cooker.  Add, other 2 cups water and vegetables, garlic, bayleaf and parsley to slow cooker and put lid on and cook on low for 6 hours.  In a small cup put the 2 tsp water and add 2 tsp cornstarch.  Stir till not lumpy then stir this into crock pot.  Cook uncovered for 15 minutes or until it has boiled for at least 5 minutes.  Serve.

Goes well with Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits

2 cups flour
2 tbsp sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup cold butter
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
3/4 cup buttermilk

In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the cheese and toss. Stir in buttermilk just until moistened.
Turn onto a lightly floured surfaceand knead 8-10 times. Pat or roll to 1 in. thickness. Cut with a glass that Ash been dipped in flour (about 2-1/2-in). Place 1 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees F for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. 

While baking put 1/4 cup butter in the microwave to melt. I added 1/2 tsp of garlic powder, 1/8 tsp of garlic salt to the melted butter. Brush on biscuits when they are hot.

Serve warm.

Crockpot Pulled Pork

2 1/2 pork shoulder roast
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

Cut roast lengthwise to split it into two or three pieces depending on how big your crockpot is so that the pork fits and covers most of the bottom. Mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl then pour over the meat.  Cover and cook on Low, stirring occasionally, for 6 to 8 hours or until the meat is tender.  Shred meat with a fork and serve on buns.

Puzz and CBB I have always used a can of Niblets White Soepeg Corn in this.  I've made it for a long time after my GGran served it at her readers group for years!  My fam loves vinegary/sweet type salads.  The same marinade works for Four Bean Salad or whatever combo you like.
I have a request...when someone gets time can you locate a Cheesecake Bar/Cookie recipe.  I think part of it was a box cake mix, butter, cream cheese and I don't remember what else or the order of.  TIA

Thanks so much Mere.  Haven't checked here in a while and the weekend is almost gone so I'll make them next one.  I love them plain and a few of the elderly folk I look in on have trouble with their teeth and this will be so easy for them to chew.  I thank you!

2 cups milk
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup cheddar
2 (6 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked
1 cup frozen peas, thawed

3 tablespoons bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F . Butter a medium baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
Put Egg noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water for 8-10 minutes.  drain and leave noodles in pot.
While noodles are cooking melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the onion, celery, and garlic, and cook 5 minutes, until tender. Increase heat to medium-high, and mix in mushrooms salt, pepper and spices. Continue to cook and stir 5 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Push this to one side of the pan and add  4 tablespoons butter.  When butter is melted stir in flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in milk, slowly adding the veggies that are pushed on the one side.

Spoon into the baking dish. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl, mix with bread crumbs (you can crush crackers or cornflakes  instead of bread crumbs as well) , and sprinkle over the casserole. Top with 1 cup cheese.
Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until bubbly and lightly browned.

I make these for easter but they are great to take as a hostess gift or for a school bake sale as well.

Fudge Cups

1 cup butter softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt   

1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup pecan halves

Grease mini muffin tins
Heat over to 325degrees F

Sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Cream butter, peanut butter and white and brown sugars. Mix in egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir the flour mixture into creamed mixture. Shape the dough into 48 balls, 1 inch each. Place each ball in one compartment of a mini muffin tin. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and immediately make wells in the center of each using a melon baller (push down to make well) . Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully remove.

For filling, put chocolate chips in large measuring cup and microwave at one minute intervals stirring between till choclate is melted.   Stir in milk and vanilla, mix well.
Using the measuring cup fill each shell with the chocolate mixture. Top with a pecan half, sprinkles or peeps for easter.

Roast Chicken.

BON APPETIT

To many cooks, roasting a whole chicken is scary. A chicken is a blank canvas, so there are many factors that impact flavor and moisture. Plus, precise cooking time is important, not to mention the many different types of bird. There's a lot of potential for failure. How do you season it? Where do you insert the thermometer? How do you get the skin (everyone's favorite part) perfectly crisp? To ease your worries, we asked the food editors in our test kitchen to correct some of the most common mistakes home cooks make. Find their advice below.

1. Putting a Soggy Bird in the Oven

"Pat the skin as dry as possible with paper towels so the skin gets crispy."

2. Skimping on the Salt

"Season the cavity and skin with salt and whatever else you like. Usually, 1 tsp. of kosher flake salt per lb. of meat is the perfect amount."
--Mary-Frances Heck, Associate Food Editor

3. Leaving Out the Flavor Boosters

"At a minimum, stuff the cavity with a halved lemon to perfume the chicken and keep it moist. (You can add herbs and garlic, also.) For maximum deliciousness, rub a flavored butter under and over the skin of the breasts and thighs. Make any flavored butter you want by following our instructions . "

4. Keeping the Oven at the Same Temperature

"To start, crank the oven up to 475 or 500 and roast the chicken hot for 20 minutes, reduce the heat to 400 and continue roasting until cooked through."
--Hunter Lewis, Food Editor

5. Using a Taste-less Bird

"Start with a good-quality chicken! It'll be hard to coax flavor out of a taste-less bird. I like to use organic grain-fed chickens."

6. Not Using a Thermometer

"Avoid overcooking the chicken by knowing exactly what temperature it's at. As soon as the thermometer registers 165° when it's inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, take the chicken out and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving."
--Janet McCracken, Deputy Food Editor

181 interesting comments on the link.  A comment suggests putting a can of beer in the chicken, I need to research that one Smile

I just threw a turkey in my crock pot...heard it was delicious!  After its cooked you broil it in the oven for a 10 minutes to get the skin crispy.  I'm hoping it tastes as good as it has been smelling for the last 6 hours!!

Leroy,

I may do the same thing with the whole chicken, I bought.  It is piece of mind the little crockpot Smile  I actually have a large
crock, but it needs to filled half-way up (according to the directions) the bird should work fine, with a little liquid. Thank-you for
mentioning the C.P.
