recipes-
Now that fall closing in on us anyone have any good yummy (easy) recipies they care to share!?!? I really havent done much cooking since we moved in and now that I am a SAHM I really want to start cooking more
Re: recipes-
Right now my grandma's meatball stew is cooking in our crock pot. It's a family fave, and easy to make. You can always change the amounts to make less, this fits in our large crock pot (its a big oval, I forget how much it holds). Also good with some italian or other crust bread for dipping in the sauce.
3 cans tomato soup
1 can tomato sauce
3 lbs ground meat
2 eggs
3-4 large potatoes, diced
4-5 large carrots, sliced
To make meatballs: hand mix ground beef with 2 eggs. form into meatballs.
The stew: First, mix the tomato soup, sauce & 1 can of water in the crock pot until the 3 are blended (i pour everything in and stir it for about 30 seconds until its all the same color and the water mixes in). Then toss in the meatballs, potatoes & carrots. cook for 6-8 hours, or until potatoes are soft & meatball are cooked through. (sometimes if we are short on time my grandma would pre-cook the meatball in the oven so they don't take as long.)
Hope you enjoy! Sorry if it's not exact, we don't really have a recipe, it's more of "knowing" how to make it....but it is just as simple as it sounds, and quick!!
I just remembered a really easy one that is so yummy- and easy for like a get together or sunday football party

When I make Chili I don't use a recipe I just guess on everything. I usually use 2 lbs of ground beef. 1 green pepper (chopped to whatever size you like), 1 onion (chopped to whatever size you like), 1 package of Mushrooms, 1 can diced tomatoes (I think they're 16 or32 oz... not the size can of canned veggies, the next size up), 1 can crushed tomatoes. 1 pack of chili mix. If it's a little too soupy I'll add a little tomato paste.

Here's a crock pot recipe for chicken tortilla soup that we LOVE and it's really easy. I don't cook the chicken before-hand I just throw a few chicken breasts in at the beginning and shred when done. I also add some diced jalapenos for some spice.

I love allrecipes, you can save recipes to a "recipe box" and also each recipe has a ton of reviews from people who have tried it. Almost every recipe I've tried off of their website has been delicious.
Ditto. I don't really use a recipe for chili, I just kinda add whatever I want. I usually do ground beef, kidney beans, green pepper, onion, diced tomatoes (regular and fire roasted for some extra kick) and a chili seasoning packet. That's about it - but you could really add whatever. I'm thinking about adding some corn next time I make it.
Crap, Cari----i still owe you my sheperds pie recipe!
and i guess i will throw in my husbands favorite chili recipe (which is AWESOMEEEE), but it will have to wait until i get home. clearly i need to upload all of my recipes online or something so i can have them handy.

I made this coconut rice last night. The flavor is very mild, but it definitely makes the rice the right kind of sticky. I paired this with a Tikka Masala chicken and broccoli. I got Tikka Masala sauce from Target and it was super easy to make. DH loved it!
