Back to page one for hopefully a Killer soup recipe!

Soup? I got soup!

Take a whole chicken, thawed, and drop it into a large pot, large enough to completely immerse the bird in water. Bring to a simmer, and let cook for at least 1-1/2 hours until the chicken comes off the bone with little effort.

You'll also need:

Mixed veggies: your choice, Peas and Carrots mixture is good, and healthy!
Rice: Any kind works, Wild Rice will need to be cooked for longer though
Noodles: Bowties or other sorts of flat newdohlsch!
Mushrooms: Canned works just fine, but fresh are better, sliced
Anahiem chilis: For a bit of spice
Bullion
opt: Potatoes, cubed beef steak can be either substituted for the chicken, or thrown in with. No such thing as too much meat in a chunky soup, I say.

After boiling the chicken, remove from the broth. Do not dump broth. Strip the meat from the chicken and discard the bones, breaking chicken pieces into 1-2" pieces, then return the meat to the broth. Add rice, mixed veggies, mushrooms and chilis, then simmer for about an hour and a half. Cook for a little longer to bring out the spiciness from the chilis if you'd like. 10 minutes prior to serving, or removing from heat, Add the egg noodles. Adding them too early makes them turn to mush. Also, at the same time, add bullion to taste. Be careful not to add too much, or it will be too salty and will ruin the whole batch.

INGREDIENTS



(4 Cans) Hot Rotel
(1 Can) Mexican Diced Tomatoes
(1 Can) Pinto Beans
(1 Can) Red Kidney Beans
(1 Can) White Corn - DRAINED
(1 Can) Black Beans - DRAINED & THOROUGHLY RINSED
(1 Pouch) Ranch Mix
(1/4 Cup) Taco Seasoning
(2 to 3 Pounds) Chicken

If you don't like [color:"red"]really spicy[/color]...substitute "Regular" Rotel and a 6oz can of "Green Chillies" for "Hot" Rotel.

DIRECTIONS

1) Pour all canned goods into a Crock Pot (complete with the can's liquid UNLESS it says to drain or drain & rinse).

2) Stir in Ranch dip powder.

3) Stir in Taco powder.

4) Boil chicken and shred it thoroughly.



5) Add chicken to Crock Pot,





6) Stir everything together and cook COVERED on high for several hours.

***Cook covered for around 2 hours or longer if your crock pot doesn't bring ingredients to right below "simmering" fairly quickly. Chicken should be TENDER and succulent. Beans should be soft but not chalky. There is no risk of illness from "undercooking" since the chicken was boiled. You will only have "hard" beans or "under simmer-blended" broth***



REPEATED WARNING This is a "SPICY" recipe. If you don't like "hot" then please heed the advice to substitute "Regular Rotel" and a 6oz can of "Green Chillies" for the "Hot Rotel". This recipe WILL clean your sinuses!

Oh that looks so goooood

Might have already posted this up. If so, sorry.

CHEESECAKE! Not exactly, but GOOD!
One "Brick" of cream cheese, softened.
One tub (8oz) Cool whip or some sort of whipped topping.
One cup of sugar.
Blend it all together and ladle into a graham cracker crust. You don't really even have to get all the "Lumps" out if you don't want to.
Top with cherry/strawberry pie filling and stick in the frig for at least an hour.(If you can wait that long)! Umm Umm GOOD

Steeley's Pepper Chicken
This is one for the grill which in my area that season is coming up quick.
Ingredients:
Chicken
1 jar Pepper Jelly ( this would be the jelly that has jalapeno peppers in it )
Brown sugar
A little water
Large Ziplock bag

Ok first fire up yout grill
Then cut your chicken into the desired size and thickness.
Put the jar of jelly in a large bowl, you may need more than one jar depending on how much chicken you make.
Next add enough hot water to get the jelly to a liquidy state.
Add a some brown sugar, I will leave the amount up to you a few tablespoons would probably do.
Stir all ingredients together and put into your large ziplock bag.
Let Marinate as long as you like. Marinating is necessary if you need it in a pinch though.
Next put your chicken on the grill but save the jelly sauce you made. As you cook the chicken keep basting it with the jelly sauce until the chicken is all cooked or you run out of sauce. Save a little sauce for within the last minute or so of cooking, dont let it burn just keep flipping it over and basting it until done.
When you are done you will have chicken that is very juicy and has a delicious spicy caramelized coating. Enjoy.

I love cooking, I'm up early every morning just so I can make my own eggs! Besides, every girl I've ever dated loved having a guy that could cook.

I really need to learn how to brew my own beer though... If I can't brew burr, whats the point in surviving??
