Crock Pottery

Because Cop Car put up her chow blog, I had to trot one out of my own. It is a crock pot main course that has gotten great reviews from some of our friends (which may be suspect, because some of our friends, not to name name or anything [Jim], wouldn't eat unless invited over to a friends house for a meal or buying it at a restaurant). Anyhoo, I actually made this for dinner tonight.

Jazzy Steak Tips

• 2 lbs stew meat or cubed steak (roast or whatever - just beef, or maybe buffalo anyway)
• 12 oz. jar mushrooms or 2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
• 1 regular sized can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 envelope dry onion soup mix
• 1 Cup Smirnoff Ice Black (7-up or Sprite or something along the limon line)
• 2 Tbl teriyaki sauce (worcestershire sauce or cooking Sherry - teriyaki is best though)

Place the meat (no browning required - can even be frozen) and mushrooms in the crock pot. Mix the cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, Smirnoff Ice (or whatever liquid) and teriyaki sauce togather in a mixing bowl before pouring it in the crock pot with the rest of the ingredients.

Cook for however long stikes your fancy (8-10 hours if you're using frozen meat - less if you're not) on low (or whatever sounds good).

Before serving, turn crockpot to high and add Sauce and Gravy Flour (or Corn Starch) to thicken the sauce.

Serve on cooked broad noodles or dumplings (not plum dumplings - the pasta dumplings).

As you can tell, I'm a hard-and-fast, stick-to-the-recipe type gal - NOT. Everyone of the options listed in the ingredients have been used at one time or another and has produced good results. So make up your own variations, depening upon your taste (or lack thereof, as we are guilty of).

Can you hear Val and Buffy groaning and saying, "No, no, no, no, no." You've just help prove that, in our family, we go from the ridiculous (your cooking and mine) to the sublime (your Aunt Helen's and Buffy's). I'm pegging Dudette and Aunt V as being somewhere between the extremes. Anyhow--your crockpot recipe sounds like something that your dad would eat. I'll have to try it. (It won't run over in the oven, at least!)

Hey, I got this from a crock pot cook book. Well, really I just adapted a recipe to things I might actually have on hand (and I don't stray too far from the original).
