Oven Baked Chunky Stew.

1 pkg of Dry Onion Soup Mix

1/2 tsp. Salt

1/2 tsp. Paprika

1 pound of lean chunky Beef Stew Meat

1 can Cream of Celery Soup

1/2 cup Ketchup

2 medium sized potatoes, cut into chunks

3 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks

1/2 of an onion, diced

In a large bag, combine the seasonings and stew meat and shake until all the meat is well seasoned. Place into a lighlty greased casserole dish and top with the sliced potato, carrots, and onion. Next mix together the ketchup and soup and pour over the top of the stew.

Cover the casserole dish with a lid if it comes with one (if not, then just cover with foil) and bake @ *325 for 2 hours. Serve with warm bread or a roll for dipping!

* I partially cooked the meat so it will not need 2 full hours of baking. Blanch veggies first if freezing. Try cooking in the crock pot if it is a HOT day!

Meatballs with cream Sauce (michele O. recipe for Jan.)

Meatballs with Cream Sauce
adapted from Lesli D.’s recipe posting

MEATBALLS:
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
2 T. ketchup
1 t. Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup quick oats
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1 1/2 lb. lean ground beef
3 T. flour

CREAM SAUCE:
2 T. butter
3 1/2 T. flour
1/4 t. dried thyme
1/4 t. salt
1/8 t. pepper
14 oz. can chicken broth
2/3 cup milk
2 T. minced fresh parsley

In a bowl, combine all of the meatball ingredients EXCEPT the beef and flour. Add beef and mix well. Shape into balls. Roll in flour, shaking off excess. Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheet and bake, uncovered, at 400 for 10 minutes. Turn meatballs, bake 8-10 minutes longer or until no longer pink. Meanwhile, for the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour, thyme, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually add broth and milk; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes, until slightly thickened. If using the full can of chicken broth, the sauce doesn’t thicken overly much, but it is delicious that way. If you want it slightly thicker, cut down the chicken broth to 1 cup. Drain meatballs on paper towels; transfer to a serving dish. Top with sauce and parsley. Serve over rice or egg noodles.
