Today we had Pork Chops.
You will need:
4 thick boneless chops
1 packet of Lipton's onion and mushroom soup
1 can of Campbells mushroom soup
1 package of sliced baby Portabella mushroom's
Add veggies and or potatoes if you like.
Throw in the chops.

Add veggies or potatoes if you'd like.
Turn on low, for 4-6 hrs.
Before you are ready to serve, sautee the mushrooms in butter, add a little garlic salt.
After you have placed your chops on a plate, add the mushrooms over the top.
Fun and easy, and just in time, when you get off work.

Brisket with Carrots and Onions
6 to 7 pounds beef brisket
2 Tbsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic (4 cloves)
2 tsp. dried oregano leaves
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
8 stalks celery, cut into 2-inch chunks
6 yellow onions, peeled and sliced
6 fresh or dried bay leaves
1 (46-oz.can tomato juice
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the brisket in a heavy roasting pan. In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, garlic, and oregano. Rub the mixture on the brisket. Pile the carrots, celery, onions, and bay leaves on the brisket and pour in enough tomato juice to come about 3/4 of the way up the meat and vegetables. Cover the top of the pan with 2 sheets of parchment paper, then with aluminum foil. (The tomato juice will react unpleasantly with the aluminum foil if they touch.)
Bake for 3? hours, or until the meat is tender. Remove the meat from the pan and keep it warm. Place the pan on 2 burners and boil the vegetables and sauce over medium heat for another 30 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened.
To serve, slice the meat across the grain. Serve with the vegetables

SWISS STEAK (SLOW COKER)
1 round steak (approximately 1 1/2 pounds), see note
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (14-1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 medium onion, cut into strips
1 medium bell pepper, cut into strips
Cut steak into serving-size pieces. Season, to taste, with garlic powder and salt and pepper. Dust meat with flour. In heavy skillet, brown both sides of meat in vegetable oil. Transfer to Dutch oven. Combine garlic, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, and 1 tomato-can measure of water. Pour over steak and simmer over low heat until meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours adding water, if necessary to keep meat partially covered. Season, to taste, with additional salt and pepper. Hint: Cook this in a slow-cooker, according to manufacturers instructions, on low for a most fabulous dinner. Low heat on a slow cooker is about 200 degrees F and high heat on a slow cooker is about 300 degrees F.
Note: to ensure tenderness, it is necessary to have the butcher run the round steak through a cuber.

CHICKEN PICCATA
2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts, butterflied and then cut in half
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups all purpose flour, for dredging
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup brined capers, rinsed
1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess.
In a large 10 or 12-inch skillet over medium high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 3 tablespoons olive oil. When butter and oil start to sizzle, add 2 pieces of chicken and cook for 3 minutes. When chicken is browned, flip and cook other side for 3 minutes. Remove and transfer to plate. Melt 2 more tablespoons butter and add another 2 tablespoons olive oil. When butter and oil start to sizzle, add the other 2 pieces of chicken and brown both sides in same manner. Remove pan from heat and add chicken to the plate.
Reduce heat to medium low and add the lemon juice, stock and capers. Return to stove and bring to boil, scraping up brown bits from the pan for extra flavor. Check for seasoning. Return all the chicken to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove chicken to platter. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to sauce and whisk vigorously. Pour sauce over chicken and garnish with parsley.

These are the best green beans ever! They're so good; you must try this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Tasty-Green...
The recipe link below is for Kraft Foods' Made-over Chicken Tetrazzini. I made it for dinner with already cooked turkey tonight. It's definitely a "keeper" recipe. Besides the change to turkey, I added a can of sliced water chestnuts to add some crunch and stirred all the cheese into the sauce while it was simmering to get it well distributed and then topped the casserole with some bread crumbs.
I hope you enjoy the casserole as much as we did!
I served an Almond-Orange salad with it...tear romaine lettuce to bite size, add a little chopped celery and green onion, chunk up a navel orange (or use mandarin oranges), add some sliced or blanched almonds and toss with this vinegarette. 2 Tbs. white wine vinegar, 1/4 cup oil, 2 Tbs. sugar and 1/4 tsp. almond extract. Yummy!
