Buy a London Broil
Buy one package of Meat Marinade (McCormick Seasoning Mix)

Follow directions on the back of the marinade (except you can marinade the steak for hours in the fridge.)

Broil your meat, flipping it from one side to the next. I keep my pan on the second rack from the top when I broil so that it takes longer to cook and it doesn't burn to quickly. The meat may be a little blackened by the time the inside is cooked to medium rare.

Moms pork chops and rice

There are a couple of ways to do this. First of all, season your pork chops with salt & pepper, Season All, and garlic salt. Brown the chops in a little oil.

Put minute rice in a 9x13 pan, about 2 cups worth. Mix 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and 1 can of milk and salt and pepper. Place pork chops onto rice and then place mushroom soup mix over the top of everything. If it look a little dry add water.

Bake for about 35 minutes or until pork chops are done.

The other way I have made this is just the pork chops and mushroom soup mix over the top and then serve already cooked rice and pour the sauce over the rice when ready to eat.

Does this make sense? let me know if you have questions.

Augraton Potatoes

-Boil potatoes in salt water then cool and peel dice (1/2 a 5 lb bag)
-Put one can of cream of mushroom soup in sauce pan and dilute with 1 can of milk.
-Season with garlic salt, onion salt, salt and pepper and a little dry parsley(optional)
-Shred lots of cheese
-Alternate potatoes and cheese
-Pour sauce over the top and add more cheese
-Bake 300• for 1 hour

Fruit Pizza

Yellow Cake Mix - make the batter
Vanilla Pudding with 1 cup of cool whip
Fruit- any of your choice but I like strawberries, kiwi, blueberries and bananas. The more colorful it is the prettier it is.

Bake Yellow cake in a pizza pan. Depending on the size of pan don't use all of the cake mix. You want a thin layer of cake. Bake the cake and let cool.

After cake is cooled take the pudding/cool whip mix and frost the top.

Decorate the top with any fruit. If you want use cool whip to decorate.

Creamy Potatoe and Creamy Cheese Soup Mixes

For Christmas this past year, I made dry soup mixes to give to friends. They were a big hit all around so I thought I should post them here. Thanks to Dana for the recipes (were in the cookbook she sent me for my birthday).

The best thing about these mixes is that they are both dry. So it is a good food storage recipe. All you need to do is add hot water, hot enough to basically get it hot enough to eat.

I also have heard that you can mix the two together, and it is wonderful that way as well.

Tbs.= tablespoon
tsp=teaspoon
c= cup
pkg= package


Creamy Cheese Soup

2 1.5 oz pkgs. of Knorr Four Cheese Sauce Mix
3 tsp. chicken bouillon granules
1/2 tsp pepper
2 pkgs. Lipton Recipe Secrets Vegetable Broth
3 Tbs. dried parsley flakes
3 c. powered coffee creamer
5 Tbs. cornstarch

Mix well. This will make 8 servings at a scant 1/2 c.
Add 1 cup water, stir really well, microwave on high 1 1/2 minutes, stir again
cover and let stand for 3 minutes.

Note: I just stirred in hot water and it worked, I didn't let it stand. The original recipe called for 1 package of cheese and the vegetable mixture, but I thought it needed more, so I added 1 more of each package.


Creamy Potatoe Soup

1 1/2 c. instant mashed potatoes
1 1/2 c. dry milk
2 tbsp. instant chicken bouillion
1 tsp. dried parsley
2 tsp. dried minced onion
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 tsp. ground white pepper (I used black pepper and it worked out fine)
1/8 tsp. tumeric
1 1/2 tsp seasoning salt (like seasonall)

Combine all ingrediants mix well. This makes 6 servings.

Place scant 1/2 c. in bowl, add 1 cup boiling water. Stir til smooth.

Enjoy!!!
