Country Stew

Country Stew and Cheesy, Buttery Corn Muffins

This recipe was inspired by one in Slow Cooker Simmering Favorites. This is one of our September Giveaways! Be sure to register!

Since Larry was off today, I made this for lunch. Larry and I really, really liked this!!
The Cheesy, Buttery Corn Muffins went really well with it! Great comfort food!!

For supper, Logan ate with the friends. Larry and M.C. cooked a frozen pizza, and I attended our homeschool co-op moms' night out! We ate at Margarita's Grill in Tupelo.
The food was delicious and the fellowship was fun and encouraging!!
We always have a great time!

Country Stew

I made a couple of minor changes to this recipe. I used 3 cups of frozen mixed veggies instead of the carrots and peas, and I substituted a 16 ounce can of beef broth for the water. I sauteed my meat for a few minutes in my cast iron Dutch oven for a few mintues, threw in the other ingredients, brought everything to a boil for about 15 minutes and slipped it into a 300 degree oven for a couple of hours. We thought it turned out really well!

2 pounds stew meat, cut into ¾-inch pieces
1 large baking potato, cubed
1 medium onion, diced
1 cup thin sliced carrots
1 cup frozen English peas
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
Pepper, to taste
1 bay leaf

Layer the first five ingredients in a crock pot. Combine tomato sauce and water; whisk in flour, salt and pepper. Add bay leaf. Pour over layers in crock pot. Cook on high for about five hours or until meat and veggies are tender. Discard bay leaf before serving.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...

 Mrs. Carter's Jubilee Jumbles  Mrs. Carter's Jubilee Jumbles Many thanks to my friend, Wayne, for posting this delicious recipe! I knew when I saw it that I had to make these for the "Lost Crew." They were a hit!  These cake-like cookies are simply delicious! The brunt sugar icing is perfect! This was one of Wayne's mom's recipes. Be sure to take a look at Mrs. Carter's original recipe in her own handwriting . I love that! What a treasure! I have formatted the recipe to conform to my usual way of posting (Y'all have been able to tell I have a format, right?;) I do like Mrs. Carter's version better, though! I am sure her icing looked much neater than mine! The kids were rushing me. Lost was coming on! Thanks again for sharing this, Wayne! These are wonderful!! ½ cup shortening 1 cup dark brown sugar ½ cup regular sugar 2 eggs 2¾ cups plain flour 1 cup undiluted Carnation evaporated milk 1 teaspoon vanilla ½ teaspoon soda ½ teaspoon s...
