Well it seems finally (praise the Lord)hot and humid weather for our area is gone. Has been chilly all last week and forecast evening temps beginning Sunday though much of next week shall be down in the 40F to high 30F.
Having avoiding cooking anything really heavy and or that required using the oven for the duration, it's now time to get out those recipes and enjoy foods that warm the insides. Steak and kidney pie. Marconi and cheese Pasta fazool Chile con carne Beef stew Pot roast Cassoulet Anyone else? | ||

Cassoulet
Basically a type of French slow cooked casserole made with beans, bits of meat and other goodies.

Those sound good. How about some chicken noodle soup and a grilled cheese sandwich? Simple but good. | ||

 I cannot relate to relegating foods to certain outside temperatures. I made two different pork roasts this summer. I took a week of staycation two weeks ago and made a pot of chicken noodle soup to have for lunches for something different as well as cheesy cornbread and cheddar whole wheat biscuits to go along with said soup. Last night made a meat loaf. And baked pork chops last weekend. And a baked pasta and meatball casserole while off two weeks ago too. Earlier this week made a pot of beans for another source of protein dinners. My partner and I both enjoy chili or soup made any time of year, even the summer. Baked cookies for work function in early September. | ||

Greg
So many of these dishes sound absolutely wonderful.
But you caught my attention with mushroom soup chicken in the Crock Pot. We both work full-time, and never seem to have time or energy to make anything creative. I'm imagining that as something that doesn't require a lot of prep time. And I love things with mushroom soup! Can you share the recipe? Little story about mushroom soup. Growing up, it was known as "white sauce" in our house. My mom did all of the cooking, and used mushroom soup over meatloaf, spinach pie, and a couple of other dishes, I believe. My dad loved it. But...he wouldn't touch a mushroom. If he ever found out that he was eating mushroom soup, all hell would have broken loose! And he would have never touched it again. So, until the day he passed, it was "white sauce!" Barry | ||

Bust out two pressure cookers Make your favorite legume (split peas, lentils, red or black beans) in one but leave out the meat. Combine the meat in the other pressure cooker with 2 cups of brown rice, a quart of beef broth, an envelope of onion soup mix, 2 heaping tablespoons of garlic powder and 2 tablespoons of olive oil (extra virgin preferred). Bring to pressure and hiss or jiggle for 20 minutes followed by a natural pressure drop. Dump the rice into the legume and there’s a meal in a bowl. Thin the leftovers with more broth. It really tightens up when it cools | ||

"How about some chicken noodle soup and a grilled cheese sandwich? Simple but good." Sometimes simple is great! I like tomato soup with either grilled cheese or BLT! Trader Joe's has a very good tomato soup in a carton! This time of year we generally have 1-2 cartons of it in the cupboard. Chuck | ||

Chocolate Cobbler 3/4 stick butter 1 cup self-rising flour 3/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup milk 1 1/2 T cocoa 1 T vanilla Preheat oven to 350F Melt butter in 9x13 pan (I just put the stick in the pan and let it melt as the oven preheats). In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa, vanilla, and milk together. Drizzle this mixture over the melted butter but DO NOT STIR! In a separate bowl, mix another 1 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of cocoa. Sprinkle this dry mixture over the butter and batter but DO NOT STIR! Now pour 1 1/2 cups of boiling water over the top of it all but DO NOT STIR! Bake 30 minutes and serve warm. Great with vanilla ice cream or by itself. | ||

Some of my favorites:
Winters can be very cold and hard here in Minnesota. I keep plenty of "Old Standbys" in my recipe arsenal:
Beef Stroganoff Lasagna Spaghetti with meat sauce Tater Tot Hotdish (It's a MN thing. Just ask if you want to know about it) Italian Meatballs with Penne Pasta Swedish meatballs Beef Stew Turkey Dinner Pot Roast Meatloaf Chili con Carne Hamburger Gravy over mashed potatoes. Beef Burgundy Chicken Noodle Soup Beef Barley Soup Cream of Chix Wild Rice Soup Clam Chowder Ham and Bacon Chowder Hamburger Goulash Cream of Tomato Soup Baked Rigatoni With Meat Sauce Thanksgiving in a bowl "Turkey Rice Soup thickened with roux and leftover gravy added" I have more but that's all for now. Comfort food recipes are a must up here just like a good snowblower. LOL! WK78 | ||

@ The Other Barry
Crock Pot/slow cooker chicken with mushroom soup is one of those staples that evolved along with that device.
lmgtfy.com/?q=... As such there are many variations but two main staples; cream of mushroom soup and a crock pot/slow cooker. What happens afterwards is only limited by one's creativity. IIRC mushroom soup chicken may have been one of those original recipes for "busy housewives", working mothers and anyone else seeking a fast and easy meal that made use of the new kitchen gadget, the Crock Pot. On a very basic level you just take some chicken, a can of cream of mushroom soup, and water. Dump the lot into slow cooker and set then forget. | ||

Thank you, Launderess
I figured it was probably something as simple or as "souped up" as one wants it to be.
I was just curious to know if Greg did anything special/specific with his take on it. We've been talking about breaking out the Crock Pot more often. There may be some version of mushroom soup chicken in our not too distant future! Barry | ||

Here’s something that my Grandma and Mom used to make, a midwestern dish, String Beans, Ham Hocks and Red New Potatoes. You cook it all together until the meat on the Ham Hocks is tender. Also, use some black pepper to taste. The String Beans will be WAY done, definitely not the way we are all used to eating them today. But it is a really delicious, old time family meal. They always served it with cornbread, to sop up the “pot liquor”.
I haven’t had this in years, and frankly, I could never do it the justice that Grandma and Mom did for the dish. But I need to give it a try again. Its good old country cookin. I believe that this would also be good made in a crock pot. Eddie This post was last edited 10/27/2018 at 00:36 | ||

Barry, my mushroom soup chicken in the crock pot is just a whole chicken or chicken breasts with soup smeared over them. Nothing special. I do the same thing with pork chops. But My pork roast is a little different....I add a chopped onion to the cooker with the mushroom soup. I made a chocolate cobbler tonight....there's saran wrap over it in the picture. It's only about an inch thick when cooked using White Lily self-rising flour.

 I made the Chocolate Cobbler for a gathering yesterday. Caesar Chicken Roasted Vegetables (frozen mix of brussels sprouts, butternut squash, onion) Baked Potatoes Tea (my iced mix of regular and earl grey) GW brought a sweet-vinegar cabbage slaw with carrots, shallots, red and green bell peppers, cranberries, and he said a tinge of jalapeno. Tony brought a multigrain bread loaf.
