Chicken and Mushrooms

Here's another recipe that I have no idea where it came from.  This was my first time trying it and it turned out really well.  The kids liked it too.

Chicken and Mushrooms

2 tbsp olive oil

4 boneless skinless breast halves 

8 oz mushrooms, quartered 

3 cloves garlic, minced 

1 cup chicken broth 

1/4 cup green onion, chopped 

1 teaspoon dried rosemary 

3 teaspoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons cold water

Place all ingredients except the cornstarch and water in a large heavy skillet with a lid and cover. Heat to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until chicken is done, about 10 - 15 minutes. Mix the cornstarch and water together until smooth.  Push everything over to one side and add cornstarch to liquid on the empty side. Mix well with juices. Return all ingredients to an even place in pan, simmer for 5 minutes. Serve over cooked rice or egg noodles.

Enjoy!

Meatballs with Mushroom Gravy

I made up this recipe last night out of stuff I already had in the house.  This is the kind of recipe I used to make a lot when Rock and I were first married- when we were poor and I really had to work hard to provide variety on a budget.  The ingredients are simple as is the food- nothing fancy here but the family really liked it.

You can use purchased meatballs (as I did) or you can make your own.  I don't have a recipe for that but I'm sure a quick Google search will provide you with lots of choices (probably too many).

So, on to the recipe:

Meatballs with Mushroom Gravy

1 1/2 lbs turkey meatballs
1 pkg mushroom gravy mix
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 cups water
1 can sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon Kitchen Bouquet
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
salt and pepper to taste
cooked rice or egg noodles
If the meatballs aren't pre-cooked, fry them in a little hot oil until cooked through.  If they are the frozen kind, just thaw them.  Mix the gravy mix and soup together in a large saucepan until smooth; add the water gradually to keep it from going lumpy.  Stir in the mushrooms and seasonings.  Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.  Keep cooking until gravy thickens.  Add the meatballs and heat through.  Serve over cooked rice or egg noodles.

Enjoy!

Beef Stroganoff

This is my own personal version of beef stroganoff.  It's one of my favorites, but then again, I'm a huge fan of mushrooms.

Beef Stroganoff

1 lb beef stew meat
2 cans mushroom soup
½ can milk
½ onion, sautéed
½ lb sliced fresh mushrooms
2 T flour
2 t salt
2 T beef bouillon granules
dash pepper
1 c sour cream
1 bag egg noodles, cooked
 Brown meat; drain.  Add onion, salt and pepper.  Add soup and milk and sprinkle with flour.  Add mushrooms, bouillon and pepper.  Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer on low 30-60 minutes until meat is tender.  Stir in sour cream and serve over egg noodles.

Enjoy!
