Wild Mushroom and Beef Stew Cooking Light, December 2005 So, I didn’t make this as a stew so much as a roast. I didn’t chop up the beef, cover it with flour, and brown it. I also made this in the crockpot yesterday for dinner. I reconstituted the…
Goulash Sparkrecipes.com YUMMY! This was really good and filling. Since BF made it, I can’t really tell what I’d change. I don’t think I’d change anything except the sauce. It was a little on the sweet side. It looked simple to make and tasted good. We’re having it…
Filet Mignon with Mushroom-Wine Sauce recipe Cooking Light, NOVEMBER 2004 So, after getting home about 1 1/2 hours later than usual, we review the recipe. Now, when I was planning this meal, there were two filet recipes I was looking at. Apparently, I merged the ingredients from one…
World’s Greatest Chicken Nachos Cooking Light, JULY 1999 Yeah, not so much. I should have just cooked the ground turkey (had it instead of chicken) and added the tomatoes and jalapeno and that’s it. It tasted sweet. Doesn’t really go well with nachos. The baked Utz I used…
Chili-Cheese-Potato Tot Casserole Southern Living, APRIL 2006 Okay, so this sounded really weird, but CTM was talking about a tater tot casserole so I thought I’d try it out. The chili was really good. We did not use chili starter. We just made our chili with a twist….
Herb-Crusted Standing Rib Roast
Yankee Pot Roast Cooking Light, OCTOBER 2007 Meh. It’s pot roast. I liked the addition of parsnips to this, but I didn’t do any of the other interesting root veggies. Just onions, potatoes, carrots, and the parsnips. They are REALLY sweet when cooked, if you haven’t…
Sloppy Joes Cooking Light, JANUARY 2004 YUM! That’s all I can say about this recipe. These were YUM-MY! The sauce was just sweet and tart enough, the veggies made it healthy, and we used the newly found whole wheat potato rolls. It made for a DELISH lunch the…
Kielbasa-Bean Slow Cooker Soup Weight Watchers This was surprisingly good for WW recipe. I would use turkey kielbasa and double the amount of meat, though. 4 14.5oz cans fat-free chicken broth 16 ounces reduced fat kielbasa, diagonally sliced 1 15oz can pinto beans, rinsed and drained 1 15oz…
Oven-Roasted Beef Brisket Tom Perini I can’t tell you how much I LOVE this recipe. I DO NOT serve the sauce, as I think it’s too salty by the time the meat is cooked. By braising the brisket with beef broth, it makes it nice and juicy and…
Home-Style Meat Loaf Cooking Light, MARCH 1998 I love this recipe. I shape it in a loaf pan, and then put it on a roasting rack covered in aluminum foil to get rid of some of the grease that comes out. The ketchup glaze is deliscious, too!! I…
Click here for recipe Cooking Light, JANUARY 2001 This recipe tasted weird. I don’t know if the was the beef or what, but it did just taste strange. We used beef instead of turkey, which I’m weaning CTM from the whole ground poulty tastes gross thing. It’s working…
Beef Stroganoff Cooking Light, APRIL 2007 How can you go wrong with Beef Stroganoff?? You can’t really. This was deliscious as usual. Made a bit of a mess with the pots, but it was worth it. This is already on my Make Again list. Knife Cutting Board Measuring…
Spaghetti and Meatballs
Beef Daube Provençal Cooking Light, SEPTEMBER 2007 So, I’m not really making this per the directions. I did put it in my slow cooker, but then I added about 2 cups of baby bella mushrooms, used dried thyme instead of fresh, added 4 cups of water to cover…
Beef Goulash Cooking Light, MARCH 2006 We made this recipe last night. We didn’t follow the directions to a T because, seriously, 2+ hours?? I don’t think so. I think it’s something I would convert to a slow cooked recipe, though. So, we followed the directions to the…
Swedish Meatballs recipe Cooking Light, JULY 2006 YUM! These were delicious. I made them with beef instead of chicken because that’s what we had on hand, but they were still FABULOUS! There wasn’t enough sauce to suit my BF, which I agree. For all the meatballs we made,…
Baked Rigatoni with Beef
Home-Style Meat Loaf Cooking Light, MARCH 1998 Photo courtesy of Southern Living, APRIL 2005 This meatloaf was DELICIOUS! I would use a thermometer, though, mine was a little under cooked after the allotted time. We’re making this tonight for dinner, too. The sandwiches and left overs from this…
