February 8-14

Grandma was having technical difficulties with her computer, so I just talked her into letting me post her previous recipes for her post this time. Since everything was totally delicious last time, I'm sure they will be this time, too!

SUNDAY: Beef Stroganoff
2 pounds round or chuck steak
1 can mushroom soup
1 can cream of celery soup
1 pkg. dry onion soup
1 heaping T. sour cream

Cut up meat in chunks, put in baking dish. Add soups and mix all together. Cook covered at 250 degrees for 4 hours, until very tender. (Can be cooked in oven or slow cooker) Just before serving add sour cream. Serve over rice, noodles or mashed potatoes. Makes a great Sunday meal

1 can tuna, chicken, or 1/2 lb. cooked hamburger

3 cups cooked pasta (I use egg noodles)

Combine all ingredients. Pour into a 1 1/2 qt. shallow baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Top with extra cheese the last 15 minutes of baking. Super easy and delicious. Can be mixed together in the morning and put in refrigerator until ready to cook.

Line pan with chicken pieces. Combine soups and sour dream. Pour over chicken. Spread UNCOOKED stuffing mix over soup mixture. Melt mutter and mix in the chicken broth. Pour over bread crumbs. Bake at 350 degrees, uncovered for 50 minutes.

THURSDAY: How about having a leftover night? I like to cook once and eat 2 or 3 times. You should have plenty left of any of the previous meals.

FRIDAY: Date night! If you don't go out, have a 2nd meal of one of the casseroles

SATURDAY: Broccoli Cheese Soup
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
3 cups chicken broth
3 cups milk
1/4 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
2 cups fresh broccoli florets
1/2 lb. Velvetta cheese, shredded
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Melt butter in a large pot over med heat. Mix in the flour and salt. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Mix in the chicken broth and milk. Simmer on very low heat about 10 minutes.Wash and cut up broccoli. Put in a glass bowl with 1 T. water and cook in microwave for 2 minutes or so. Set aside. Gradually mix in the Velvetta cheese and cheddar cheese into the large pot and stir until melted. Mix in the broccoli, breaking it up as much as you like. Continue cooking about 5 minutes. Very yummy! (I added more flour mixed with water to make mine a little thicker)
