Well, day one of using my Christmas Planner went really well.  One of the first things for this week was to see what traditions the family wanted to keep and see if there were any new ones anyone wanted to start.  This was really a fun activity - and some of the answers were surprising.  Now that both of the kids are older, you just never know what appeals to them! As much as I miss a little one around the house, teens really are fun, too!

This is a quick and easy little stew I created for our lunch. It was a big hit with the kids, and there was enough for our supper, too. Larry gave it a  big thumbs up!  There's just something about men folk liking meat and potato dishes, isn't there? We had oyster crackers with the soup at lunch, but I made Low-fat (or Not!) Corn Muffins for supper.  A good hearty dish for this cooler weather!

Hearty Beef and Potato Soup

Hearty Beef and Potato Soup/Stew
2 lbs. stew meat
1 (10 1/2 ounces) can Campbell's French onion soup
1 (26 ounces) carton beef broth (I used Swanson's Beef Cooking Stock)
5 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 -2 (10 1/2 ounces) cans cheddar cheese soup (Use one for more of a soup, 2 for more of a stew.)

Brown beef in a nonstick stock pot.  Add French onion soup and broth.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat.  Cover and simmer for 20 minutes - longer if time allows.  Add potatoes.  Bring pot to a boil and boil until potatoes are tender - about 15 mnutes.  Add cheddar cheese soup.  Stir until smooth and heated through.  Enjoy!

Variations:
I think cream of mushroom soup would be good in this, too.  Maybe one cheese and one mushroom!

    Mister Linky is up and ready for your slow cooker entry. This soup would be great for Crock Pot Wednesday.

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...

Georgia Cornbread Cake

I clipped this recipe several years ago from American Profile, which is a small magazine insert that come with our local newspaper, The Pontotoc Progress. It is yummy, yummy, yummy!  I love the story that accompanied the recipe and was delighted when a Google searched turned up the same article on the web! Larry took this to work, and he said it was a huge hit with everyone! Enjoy! Georgia Cornbread Cake Georgia Cornbread Cake   Recipe of Stella T.

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 ...
