1/2 cup evaporated milk

Instructions

Start by browning the beef and onion in a medium saucepan. Drain. Add the diced tomato and green chiles, tomato sauce, sugar, salt, and spices. Mix the tomato paste with the water until it looks like a thick sauce. Add it to the mixture. Heat everything until it's boiling, then reduce the heat, cover the saucepan, and leave it to simmer for an hour. Check occasionally and stir.

Instructions

Put roast in a crockpot. Add mushrooms and soup. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

Prior to serving, remove roast and put it on a plate to rest before slicing. Turn heat up to high and thicken the gravy/mushroom mixture with cornstarch slurry (2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 1/2 cup cold water). Season with salt and pepper. Serve with mashed potatoes.

Variations: Add diced onion, diced potatoes and baby carrots with the meat. Omit mushrooms.

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown roast in oil on all sides. Place carrots, potatoes, garlic and onion in a 6-quart slow cookier. Place roast on top of vegetables; sprinkle with steak seasoning. Add broth. Cook, covered, on low for 10-12 hours, until beef and vegetables are tender.

Remove roast and vegetables from slow cooker; keep warm.

Transfer cooking juices to a saucepan; skim fat. Bring juices to a boil. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into juices. Return to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Serve with roast and vegetables.

Instructions

Simmer. Serve over noodles with chopped tomatoes and basil.

Hints: add a fat trimmed bone-in pork chop while simmering to add a rich flavor.

2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons shortening
2/3 cup milk

Roll out dough and fill with hamburger mixture. Roll and slice 1 to 2 inch rolls. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.

Instructions

Brown hamburger, Italian sausage, onions and mushrooms. Drain. Add marinara sauce and diced tomatoes. Let simmer for 20 minutes.

Boil lasagna noodles. Layer meat sauce, noodles, eggs, mozarella cheese, parmesan cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Remove seeds from chilies and dice. In a large bowl, combine the grated cheese and green chilies. Turn into a well buttered, shallow 2-quart casserole (12 x 8 x 2 inches).

In a large bowl, with electric mixer at high speed, beat egg whites just until well blended. In a small bowl, combine yolks, milk, flour, salt and pepper. Using a rubber scraper, gently fold beaten whites into egg yolk mixture. Pour egg mixture over cheese mixture in casserole, and using a fork "ooze" it through the cheese.

Bake for 30 minutes, remove from oven and arrange sliced tomatoes on top of casserole, overlapping a little at the edges. Bake 30 minutes longer, or until a knife blade inserted into the center comes out clean.

Instructions

Brown together hamburger, onion and peppers. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer for about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the chile peppers. Just before serving, thicken with a slurry of 3-4 tablespoons cornstarch mixed into 1/4 cup cold water.

Heat flour tortillas in microwave. Prepare plates of lettuce, grated cheese and chopped green onions. To serve, layer tortilla with cheese, onion, lettuce and cover with sauce.

**Note: Flour tortillas work better than corn. Pouring sauce over tortilla chips or Fritos is another option. This sauce can simmer for hours, if needed, so is a good option when you can't predict the timing for dinner. Serves a lot.

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in crockpot and cook on low 6-8 hours or high 4-6 hours. Shred chicken with two forks just before serving. Serve with tortilla chips, sour cream, shredded cheese.

**Note: This meal can easily be frozen. Add all ingredients to a ziploc bag and freeze. To cook, place frozen ingredients in crock pot and cook low 6-8 hours. So simple!
