Crock-pot Cowboy Stew...

I first came across this recipe in a book by Sandra Lee, of Semi-Homemade. The orginal recipe calls from potatoes and corn. I personally thought it was too much in the carbohydrates so I took out the corn and added a can of kidney beans.
The meat in the stew is brisket. You only need 2 pounds, if you can not find a small 2 pound brisket look for corned beef. The meat in that package of corned beef is brisket, just throw away the seasoning packet that is inclosed.
We used to have eat this recipe twice a month. Super simple to throw together in the morning before work, or great on a cold day. The orginal recipe states it serves six, four is more the correct portion.

Ingredients:
2 pounds beef brisket, cut into bite size pieces
1 Tablespoon taco season
2 cups chopped potatoes
2 10 ounce cans of Rotel tomatoes and chilies
1 10 ounce can of cream of celery soup
1 10 - 15 ounce can of kidney beans, undrained
1 cup beef broth, low sodium
1 small onion chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, minced

Directions:
In a 4 quart crock-pot add brisket and sprinkle with taco seasoning
Add remaining ingredients and stir until combined
Cover and cook on hight temp setting for 4 to 6 hours.
or low temp setting for 8 to 10 hours.

Chicken Salad Pie...

I will admit this recipe sounds weird. Sometimes though, the weirdest recipes, also make the best recipes.
I personally don't think you need to add any salt to this recipe, between the potato chips and canned soup there should be more than enough. I like to add a 1/2 teaspoon of garlic pepper instead of salt and pepper.

Ingredients:

1. 2 deep pie crusts, store bought
2. 2 chicken breasts, cooked and diced
3. 3 hard boiled eggs, chopped
4. 1 cup celery,chopped
5. 1/4 cup water chestmuts, diced
6. 1/2 mayonnaise
7. 1 (10oz) can of cream of chicken soup
8.  salt and pepper to taste
10. Juice from half of a small lemon
11. 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
12.  5 1/2 ounces potato chips crushed

Directions;
Bake pie crusts for 10 minutes, set aside.
Preheat oven to 350F
Mix first 10 ingredients in a bowl, then pour into pie crusts
Cover with cheese and top with potato chips
Bake for 30 minutes
