BB Recipe Collection #2

Does anyone have a "tried and it's great" recipe for shortcake (as in Strawberry Shortcake)?

Thanks!
CJ

 

I just noticed this, sorry for the late reply.

I drain mine, because it dilutes the V-8 taste, but like Sue said, you can add it to make more "soup".

Just came across this in my South Beach Diet book. We tried it, and it is GREAT.

Please keep the diet recipes in the DIET ONLY RECIPE thread. Thanks!

(This recipe is already there)

This is an easy and delicious recipe.I took it to a church supper and it was eaten up!

CHICKEN CASSEROLE


5 or 6 boneless chicken breasts
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 cans chicken broth (from cooked chicken)
1 large cannister Stove Top (chicken flavor)
1 stick butter

Cook chicken until done, ( I use a pressure cooker). Tear chicken into pieces and put into a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Mix 1 can chicken broth and both cans of the cream of chicken soup. Pour over chicken. Spread unprepared Stove Top evenly over chicken mixture. Pour remaining broth over Stove Top. Cut butter into pieces and arrange on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.

You're very welcome. We just keep all the recipes in one thread. That way we only have to look in one place! :D

There are some delicious ones here and in the Diet Only thread too!

CJ: I either make mine according to the directions on the back of the Bisquick box or I make a Pound Cake.

Either of them are delicious - especially if served warm - right out of the oven!

 

Dina; I was going to move this to the Diet Recipe Only thread, but we already have this recipe in there (except I use heavy cream instead of half & half.

I make this all the time. There is also a recipe there for cauliflower gravy that is delicious. I make that to pour over "Chicken Fried Steak". My husband did not know the difference until I told him!

 

This was posted in another forum by "followinghim" and it sounded so good I thought I would copy and paste it here!

Tasty Tuscan Tart

It is a sweet rich pastry with fresh sliced pears on top. Cook for 25 minutes til golden and then cover with a sauce made of rich dark chocolate, melted with 1/2 pint of single cream and an ounce of butter (unsalted) and 2 ounces of sugar, with a couple of tablespoons of brandy (optional) poured over the top. Chill before serving.

 

Microwave Peanut Butter Fudge

1 stick + 2 T margarine
2/3 c peanut butter
6 c powdered sugar
1/3 c milk
1 T vanilla

In a large microwave bowl place margarine and peanut butter. Microwave on
high until margarine melts; about 1 1/2 to 2 min. Stir until smooth. Stir
in remaining ingredients until lumps disappear. Microwave on high until
soft but NOT bubbly, about 1 1/2 to 2 min. Stir. Pour into 9 inch square,
buttered pan. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.

 

CORNBREAD SALAD

1 8.5 oz pkg cornbread mix
1 pkg ranch-style dressing
1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup green pepper - chopped
1/2 cup sweet red pepper - chopped
1/2 cup onion - chopped
3 large tomatoes - chopped
1 16 oz can pinto beans - drained
2 cups fresh/frozen corn
2 cups cheddar cheese - shredded
10 slices cooked bacon - crumbled

Bake cornbread mix according to pkg directions and crumble.

Combine ranch style dressing mix, sour cream and mayonnaise in a small bowl.

In another bowl, mix together peppers, onions, tomatoes, pinto beans and corn.

In a 3 quart salad bowl, layer 1/2 of the cornbread, 1/2 of the veggies, 1/2 of the cheese, 1/2 of the bacon and 1/2 of the dressing.

Repeat layers with remaining ingredients. Cover and store in refrigerator until ready to serve.

(The longer it sits, the better it tastes)

***TIPS

Use low/no fat sour cream and mayonnaise to reduce the calories in the recipe.

COUNTRY FRIED STEAK

4-6 large cube steaks
1/2 stick oleo
1/2 cup flour
salt and pepper to taste
water to cover
1/2 package Lipton Onion Soup Mix

Dredge steaks in flour, shaking off excess. Salt and pepper to taste. Melt oleo over medium heat in a large skillet. Add enough water to cover steaks completely. Sprinkle soup mix evenly in water. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes.

TIPS:
This tender beef dish makes its own gravy and tastes great with a salad.

Use butter instead of oleo and soy flour instead of white flour to make this a great diet dish!

 

Someone asked for this recipe so here goes.

Chicken and dumplings like Cracker Barrel

4 chicken breasts, or one whole chciken, boil in large pan of water with one onion quartered, 1 carrot cut inot thick slices, 2 celery, cut up large pieces. Boil till chciken is very tender. Strain the broth to remove the meat and vegetables, return the broth to the pan. Let chciken cool and tear it into large bite size pieces. Meanwhile, heat the broth to a slow boil.
I usually make drop dumplings, but you can also roll and cut them if you like, which is how they are done at Cracker Barrel, roll them very thin though, like pie crust, that comes from a friend who made the dumplings there.
Mix together 3 to 4 cups of self rising flour, add a couple tablespoons oil(optional, I don't always use it and it doesn't seem to make a big difference), add enough water to make dough a little wetter then biscuit dough(too wet and they fall apart when they touch the water, too dry and they are tough, if your going to roll them you want them less moist), drop by teaspoonfulls into the broth. Let them cook a minute or so before stirring them to keep from breaking them up. Cook 10 minutes. They should be like bread inside when you cut one open(unless you make rolled dumplings, cook about 15 minutes).
Add the chicken, discard the vegetables, they are for flavoring, and are worth the effort.

 

Sue that recipes sounds good, sounds like it would work well in a crock pot. I've done the gravy mixes in the crock pot before. Added vegetables, and sprinkled them with the mix and top it with the meat. The meat makes liquid and then you have a gravy. Does a great stew.

 

Sounds scrumptious Donna!

I make chicken and drop dumplings quite a bit, but I never thought to cook veggies with them for flavor.

(I usually cheat and make my dumplings with Bisquick)

I will definitely try the veggies next time!

Thanks!

Makes all the difference Sue. They'll be some of the best dumplings you've ever had, promise.

 

Thanks for the dumpling recipe...I am going to make it. :D There are some things just worth breaking the diet for!!!
