Chili

1 large onion
2 cloves garlic
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons fresh chopped oregano
OR
1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper sauce
1 (16 ounce) can whole tomatoes — undrained
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans (15 to 16 ounce can) — undrained

Peel and chop the onion. Peel and crush the garlic.

Cook the beef, onion and garlic in the saucepan over medium heat 8 to 10
minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain.

Stir in the chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper sauce and tomatoes
with their liquid, breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon or fork. This
distributes the tomatoes evenly throughout the chili and makes serving the
chili easier.

Heat the mixture to boiling over high heat. Once mixture is boiling,
reduce heat just enough so mixture bubbles gently. Cover and cook 1 hour,
stirring occasionally.

Stir in the beans with their liquid. Heat to boiling over high heat. Once
mixture is boiling, reduce heat just enough so mixture bubbles gently.
Cook uncovered about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until desired
thickness.

Black Bean Soup

1 medium onion
1 large clove garlic
1 medium carrot
1 medium stalk celery
Parsley sprigs
1 slice bacon
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can ready-to-serve chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 (15 ounce) can black beans
4 lemon wedges

Peel and chop the onion. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Peel and
coarsely chop the carrot. Coarsely chop the celery.

Rinse sprigs of parsley with cool water, and pat dry with a paper towel.
Chop enough parsley leaves into small pieces on a cutting board using a
chef’s knife to measure about 2 tablespoons, or place the leafy portion of
the parsley in a small bowl or cup and snip into very small pieces with
kitchen scissors. Discard the stems.

Cut bacon slice crosswise into 1/2-inch strips. Cook the bacon strips in
the saucepan over medium heat 1 minute, stirring constantly. Do not drain.

Add the onion and garlic to the bacon. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring
frequently, until onion is tender when pierced with a fork and beginning
to turn yellow. Bacon will still be soft. Remove the saucepan from the
heat.

Stir in the chicken broth, carrot, celery, parsley, oregano and red
pepper. Heat to boiling over high heat. Once mixture is boiling, reduce
heat just enough so mixture bubbles gently. Cover and cook 10 minutes.

While broth mixture is cooking, drain the black beans in a strainer, and
rinse with cool water.

Measure out 1/2 cup of the beans. Place the 1/2 cup beans in a small bowl,
and mash them with a fork.

Stir the whole beans and the mashed beans into the broth mixture. Cook
about 1 minute or until beans are heated. Serve soup with lemon wedges.

Tips
To make this a meatless soup, substitute 1 tablespoon vegetable
oil for the bacon, and use vegetable broth instead of chicken
broth.

The bacon will be easier to cut up if you place it in the freezer
for 5 minutes first.

Before adding the chicken broth, remove the saucepan containing
the hot bacon fat and onion from the heat to prevent spattering
and steam.

Beef Stew

1 pound beef boneless chuck, tip or round roast
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or shortening
3 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 medium carrots
1 large potato
1 medium green bell pepper
1 medium stalk celery
1 small onion
1 teaspoon salt
1 dried bay leaf
1/2 cup cold water
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Cut and discard most of the fat from the beef. Cut the beef into 1-inch
cubes.

Heat the oil in the skillet over medium heat 1 to 2 minutes. Cook the beef
in the oil about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until brown on all
sides (Browning helps develop the flavor of the stew).

Remove the skillet from the heat, then add the water, 1/2 teaspoon salt
and the pepper. Heat to boiling over high heat. Once mixture is boiling,
reduce heat just enough so mixture bubbles gently. Cover and cook 2 to 2
1/2 hours or until beef is almost tender.

Peel the carrots, and cut into 1-inch pieces. Scrub the potato thoroughly
with a vegetable brush, but do not peel. Cut the potato into 1 1/2-inch
pieces. Cut the bell pepper lengthwise in half, and cut out seeds and
membrane. Cut the bell pepper into 1-inch pieces. Cut the celery into
1-inch pieces. Peel and chop the onion; cut in half.

Stir the vegetables, 1 teaspoon salt and bay leaf into the beef mixture.
Cover and cook about 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender when
pierced with a fork. Remove and discard bay leaf.

Shake the cold water and flour in a tightly covered jar or container.
Gradually stir this mixture into beef mixture. Heat to boiling over high
heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling 1 minute, stirring constantly,
until thickened.

Tips
To save time, use a 16-ounce bag of frozen mixed vegetables
instead of the carrots, potato, bell pepper, celery and onion.
There’s no need to thaw the vegetables; just stir them into the
beef mixture in step 5.

To save time, cut up the vegetables about 1 hour in advance,
putting the potato pieces in cold water to keep them from turning
brown.

CROCKPOT BEEF STEW III

1 package stew beef
1 can cream of potato soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 – 1 1/2 cans of water
Cook on high all day (7-8) hours
I serve over white rice.

CROCKPOT BEEF STEW II

1 lb. beef bourguignon (or cheaper cut)
3 large sweet potatoes (cut into 1″ thick slices)
2 cans beef bouillon (or broth or consommée)
2 small cans tomato paste
3-4 handfulls of assorted veggies (I used frozen green & yellow beans and carrots)
1 lb. fresh mushrooms (quartered)
1 large onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 cup flour

Mix bite sized pieces of meat in flour, brown in some oil along with the diced garlic.
While meat is browning, combine beef bouillon & tomato paste in a crock pot, mix well.
Pre-cook the sweet potatoes until just tender, add to crock pot along with onions and any raw veggies that you may use. Add enough water to cover and cook on low for as long as you want, (I let it cook for about 5 hours.
I added the frozen veggies and some quartered mushrooms for about the last 1 hour or so.
I thickened it with a bit of flour and water, let it cook another 15 minutes uncovered and that was it.

CROCKPOT BEEF STEW I

2 lbs. stew beef
1/4 c. flour
1 tsp. paprika
4 lg. carrots
3 lg. potatoes
1 c. condensed beef broth
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/3 c. soy sauce
1 lg. onion
1 can tomato sauce (8 oz.)

Layer potatoes, then carrots. Top with meat; sprinkle meat with soy sauce, salt, paprika, pepper & flour.
Spread with chopped onions. Combine beef broth & tomato sauce & pour overall. Cover & cook on low 7 – 8 hrs. or high 4 – 5 hrs.

NOTES:
Instead of sprinkling the meat with soy sauce, salt, paprika, pepper & flour as the recipes says, I mix those all together in a small bowl. This prevents the flour from becoming clumpy.
-Instead of chopped onions, I use 3 or 4 small yellow onions whole (I’m not an onion fan but still like the taste they give the stew.)
-I add about 1/4 cup barbecue sauce to the top, before putting the cover on. I use whatever variety of sauce that I have on hand. I don’t usually buy the “regular”
flavor of any brand, but instead have hickory, brown sugar or garlic and onion
flavors. The BBQ sauce adds an extra “kick” to the meat and gravy.
-For the beef broth, since I don’t usually keep that on hand, I dissolve 1 beef bouillon cube into 1 cup boiling water.

2 med. potatoes, cut up
2 carrots, sliced
1 onion, sliced

Brown stew meat and sautee with onions and mushrooms. Add all ingredients into pot and cook until meat is and vegetables are tender.

BROILED SALMON

Cut the slices one inch thick, and season them with pepper and salt; butter a sheet of white paper, lay each slice on a separate piece, envelop them in it with their ends twisted; broil
gently over a clear fire, and serve with anchovy or caper sauce. When higher seasoning is required, add a few chopped herbs and a little spice.

BROILED FRESH MACKEREL

Probably no fish lends itself better to broiling than fresh mackerel, as the flesh of this fish is tender and contains sufficient fat to have a good flavor. To improve the flavor, however, strips of bacon are usually placed over the fish and allowed to broil with it.

Clean and skin a fresh mackerel. Place the fish thus prepared in a broiler, and broil first on one side and then on the other. When seared all over, place strips of bacon over the fish and continue to broil until it is done. Remove from the broiler, season with salt and pepper, and serve.

BOILED HADDOCK WITH LOBSTER SAUCE

The same as cod. In fact, all kinds of fish can be served in the same manner; but the lighter are the better, as the sauce is so rich that it is not really the thing for salmon and blue fish. Many of the best cooks and caterers, however, use the lobster sauce with salmon, but
salmon has too rich and delicate a flavor to be mixed with the lobster.

BOILED SALT COD

Put your fish to soak over night; change the water in the morning, and let it stay till you put it on, which should be two hours before dinner; keep it at scalding heat all the time, but do not let it boil, or it will get hard; eat it with egg sauce or drawn butter. If you have any
cod fish left from dinner, mix it with mashed potatoes, and enough flour to stick them together; season with pepper; make it into little cakes, and fry them in ham drippings.

BOILED SALMON -3

When smoked salmon can be secured, it makes a splendid fish for boiling. If it is cooked until tender and then served with a well-seasoned sauce, it will find favor with most persons. Freshen smoked salmon in warm water as much as seems necessary, remembering that the cooking to which it will be subjected will remove a large amount of the superfluous salt. Cover the salmon with hot water, and simmer slowly until it becomes tender. Remove from the water, pour a little melted butter over it, and serve with any desired sauce.
