What is a substitute for buttermilk in recipes?

I tried milk with yogurt, but it didn't seem right.What is a substitute for buttermilk in recipes?
Making a recipe that calls for buttermilk? Use this simple substitute, and you won't need to buy any:


Prep Time: 5 minutes


Ingredients:


Milk (just under one cup)


1 Tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice


Preparation:


1. Place a Tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup.





2. Add enough milk to bring the liquid up to the one-cup line.





3. Let stand for five minute. Then, use as much as your recipe calls for.What is a substitute for buttermilk in recipes?
I would find a recipe for sour milk (milk with lemon juice-scalded ithink) and try that. I put buttermilk into recipes that call for regular milk and half and half into recipes that call for buttermilk. Just play around with something simple like pancakes til you find something that works for you.
When a recipe calls for buttermilk and I don't have it, I use the milk that I have on hand and add a little vinegar to it, about a teaspoonful to 1 cup of milk, let it set for about 10 minutes, it will thicken and be on the sour side. Hope that this helps. Good Luck! :)
Make buttermilk it is a very simple process.


Ingredients: milk and water


Method: Beat the milk and water together or hand blend it to the constituency needed.
My mom told me to add vinegar to whole milk, and let it sit for a moment...some old trick she knew. Says it even looks like buttermilk.
Don't use water. You have to have the acid from vinegar or lemon juice.

    What recipes can I use tomato paste in?

    Besides spaghetti (most obvious answer).


    I have leftover tomato paste and I don't want to waste it..What recipes can I use tomato paste in?
    use it in lasagna,


    or this is very delicious......put some finely chopped onions and minced beef and 2-3 tbsps tomato paste in a frying pan and mix well over heat till the meet changes color, add some salt and pepper and whatever seasoning u like, then add 1 cup of water and bring to boil...


    meanwhile take 4-5 aubergines and peel them and lightly fry them, then pour the meet on the aubergines and put on a medium heat for 15-20 minutes.....serve, and mind your fingers!!!What recipes can I use tomato paste in?
    Chili, gulosh
    I use it a lot - pasta sauce,rissotto, stew, on the base of a pizza, mixed with roasted veg%26amp; couscous, in tomato soup...
    Pizza base and pasta sauces.
    baked potato boats


    just boil potato nd cut into 2 pcs nd scoop from middle nd add ur left out dishes with paste nd bake.
    meatloaf
    you can freeze your leftover tomato paste to use it at a later date.
    Basically what everyone else said. But don't let it go to waste in the meantime either. On a piece of wax paper, put individual tablespoons, then put it in the freezer. When the blobs are frozen, put them in a ziplock and back in the freezer. They're handy whenever you need just a tablespoon or two!
    At first I saw this question and I was like duh...spaghetti...then I read the details and now I have nothing to say...sorry...I tried...
    Tomato pilaf





    Heat 2 tbsp oil, put in a cinamon stick and 3 cloves. 15 secs later add 1/2 a chopped onion and fry till softens and changes color a bit. Lower the heat and add 1/2 tsp of chopped garlic, and 3 tablespoons of tomato paste, plus 3 tablespoons of water so the tomato paste doesn't burn. Add 2 cups of washed drained basmati rice to the pot and stir till coated. Add 4 cups of hot water, 1 3/4 tsp of salt and bring to a boil. Let it bubble till the level of water reduces down to the level of the rice and ';craters'; (like small volcanoes) are beginning to form in the rice. Cover the pot and turn heat to lowest heat on your smaller burner. It should be cooked in about 20 minutes. Hope you enjoy it .. I love the taste and the appearance. Remember to remove the cinamon stick and cloves .. as they are awful if you bite on them. If you don't have those ingredients.. you could use just the garlic, onions and 1/2 tsp dried parsley.
    oo that tomato pilaf sounds interesting. I might have to try that.





    Last time I used tomato paste was making shrimp creole.

    What can you substitute celery with in recipes?

    ...if you dont like it?What can you substitute celery with in recipes?
    You can just leave it out. I always have to leave it out when cooking for my sister. She HATES celery!!





    If it's crunch (not sure of your recipe) that you are after... try water chestnuts or onion.


    Maybe celery salt or seasoning salt.What can you substitute celery with in recipes?
    Chopped green pepper or even chopped apples.
    Anything you like! Celery is most often there for the texture, so try to find another veg that you like that keeps it's firmness when cooked. Peppers can be ok if they're not overcooked, celeriac (which is celery root but doesn't taste like celery), carrots or any other root-type veg would do well.
    It depends upon why it is used ..... in a French mirepoix which is equal parts carrot-onion-celery, you can substitute green bell pepper, although it is not classic.
    if it's a texture thing, you can use a pinch of celery seed to get the same savory flavor effect. if the recipe is using celery for ';crunch';, such as in chicken salad or tuna salad for instance, you can use sliced water chestnuts instead.

    I recently bought some mustard oil and I made some Panch Phoran, both of which are sooo tasty, but I can't seem to find very many recipes that use them, can some one recommend a cook book with some recipes that use those ingredients?

With electric mixer on low-med. stir flour mixture into cheese mixture until dough is smooth. Shape dough into walnut-sized balls and place two inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

    Salt free and sugar free tomato soup recipes?

    I am trying this diet and i am in need of a recipe that doesnt add any salt or sugar to the recipe but tastes good?Salt free and sugar free tomato soup recipes?
    Chop a carrot, an onion, and about 4 tomatoes. In a saucepan, put about 1 tbsp of olive oil, a little garlic and saute for a few seconds, add your chopped vegetables, stir for about a minute and add a no-salt chicken broth. Add herbs to your liking (oregano, thyme...) and boil over low heat until vegetables are cooked. Remove from heat and puree in a blender. Maybe add a little milk or cream for body. The more aromatics you put in, the more flavor and less salt needed. Be careful to remove Bay Leaves from soup mix prior to puree-ing.

    Why are people so ready to share recipes?

    ... and not share an email etc for a response. Are they that arrogant to think they'll be inundated with junk?Why are people so ready to share recipes?
    It's not arrogant to think you will be inundated with junk, when it's a fact. Give out your email address you'll be overrun with junk mail. People share recipes because it's a nice thing to do. What's your problem anyway?Why are people so ready to share recipes?
    It is safer that way. I love sharing and receiving recipes but do not want to enter in to correspondence with some people I do not know who will pester and pester. I have had this experience in the past. I have helped people but then they have become obsessed. I have had so many marriage proposals (from both genders!!!) I do not need that.
    Just be thankful that they are kind enough to take the time and share a recipe with you. It's not arrogance, it's intelligence not to post your email for thousands too see. To not expect to hear from someone that you may have offended in a previous post or to get inundated with emails, let alone junk. If you want to post yours, that's your choice.
    It's a Karma thing -- if you share your recipes, then when you need a recipe, it will be floating out there, ready for you to grab it.





    Yeah, I wouldn't share my e-mail with a stranger -- I'm already inundated with junk, so I don't exactly need any more. And you know, you can say ';thanks'; when you choose a best answer, so what else do you need? Oh -- more specific cooking instructions, maybe? I can see that.





    I guess if you need more info on a recipe, you'll just have to ask another Yahoo! Answers question.
    some people would rather not receive response but are willing to give out information...it's simple...some are just not wanting the interaction...nothing wrong with that...maybe they had a bad experience like the troll who continued to fill my email...

    How important is it to you to have photos with recipes on web-sites?

    Hello,


    Do you prefer photos with recipes on food web-sites or doesn't it matter? Myself, I prefer photos along with them.





    Thank you,


    Genesee from


    http://www.the-chocolate-spot.comHow important is it to you to have photos with recipes on web-sites?
    I don't really care if the recipe comes with a photo, however when I am thumbing through a book looking for insperation, a good photo just might sway me...


    Cheers


    BHow important is it to you to have photos with recipes on web-sites?
    I think for the beginning cook it's essential to have a picture to give an idea what you're trying to achieve. Personally, I spend too much time in the kitchen so I'm indifferent about pictures. I can tell by reading a recipe what I want it to look like. More often than not I only use recipes for inspiration and then do my own thing with them anyway.
    Very important. I need a visual of what something looks like. I put together a newsletter every month for my company and include recipes. I won't put one in if it doesn't have a picture.
    i like to have a photo with it, so i can see what it is supposed to look like.
    Definately need photos or I dont cook the recipes - just my preference!
    I think there should be photos so people can see what it's going to look like.
    i like to have pictures....so i know what the end result should look like :)
    Personally, I think it is a tremendous benefit to the readers of our pages to have images of our foods available on our web pages of recipes. I also know what an amazing thing that is to accomplish. I have well over 400 recipes on site now and more to come. To have the ability to prepare each of those dishes and to photograph them would be both enormously expensive and very time consuming. When your site is content driven, as ours is, it is also extremely important to get the search engines to recognize your site with keyword driven content that exhibits really good technical writing too. Remember that we need to write for both the human reader and the spyders that are crawling through the web looking for those amazingly specific keywords that people are looking for!


    At http://www.your-vegetarian-kitchen.com/h… we made a conscious decision to get the pertinent information and our recipes written and posted. It was not long before that the stats told us where to concentrate our attention -- which is in eggless desserts! That information directed my work for many months and I have yet to get back to other areas that I personally want to focus on -- like veggies galore themselves, grain dishes, beans and legumes -- this project is huge and requires a lot of patience with myself! I am trying to compress a lifetime of culinary experience onto these pages in very little time! I think you will find that to be part of the dance as well. Patience and taking one step at a time: ';Inch by inch, row by row, that's the way websites grow!'; are key to success.


    Only now, after a year of having our work seen in more than 80 countries and having been picked up by a German Search Engine in addition to Google, Ask, MSLive, Yahoo etc., only now that we have been able to develop a following of wonderful world-wide vegetarian/vegan support are we able to focus on beginning to get the recipes each on its own page and to begin to add photos as they become available.


    You have entered into the tremendously exciting world of infopreneur-ship and e-commerce. There is a huge amount to learn and many, many hundreds of hours of wonderfully exciting work ahead of you, and all the conversation about it in the world isn't going to do it for you. You just need to write; and to write; and to write! Sure find images along the way but do not let that stop the writing. Just remember that the content is what counts. Beautiful, mouth watering images and all the bells and whistles in the world cannot do what good information can do for your readers -- and for the Search Engines also.


    Good luck. And don't forget to have fun along the way. The amount of work to be done can definitely seem daunting at times.

  • Has anyone actually tried to cook one of Heston Blumenthal recipes?

    I laughed last night when he said he tries to keep them basic for everyday home cooks!Has anyone actually tried to cook one of Heston Blumenthal recipes?
    Like zakiit I did his spag bol. Took a whole day and although a bit of an undertaking, it was, in its own way, quite therapeutic. Result was great and all the effort was worthwhile as there was enough for 4 meals for my wife and I.


    I would love to do his steak but there is no way I would be allowed to leave the oven on when I was in bed LOLHas anyone actually tried to cook one of Heston Blumenthal recipes?
    Dry ice and liquid nitrogen





    they don't even sell those at waitrose!!!








    I do think the guy is a genius and the desserts that he made for the Roald Dahl anniversary were fantastic
    LOL, I'd be starving by the time it was ready!!
    Yes, I did his bolognese. V nice, but living 5 floors up I cannot do his more flammable experiments! It does all seem to be a bit of a faff!
    Fantastic question, so that's, what, 8 of us so far who haven't..... did you see the black forest gateau??? You needed to be a serious rocket scientist xx
    He's Blumen good !!!!





    But too complicated for me.
    I know, I worked as a chef for 10 years, and I found it daunting........whats wrong with flour based sauces anyway????


    It is easier to make a roux than to use eggs as a thickening agent.


    Someone should send him into a normal house, and see if he can find the liquid nitrogen case
    I think this man has some real issues that I don't dare to soil your lady like ears with!!!!! x
    Me too! It looked delicious, but you'd need a week off work just to assemble the ingredients. As for his sand and sea topping!
    never tried to cook any of his stuff, i love him though and I'm saving up to go to the Fat Duck in Bray...however i wouldn't say his creations were really for the majority of us home cooks no...maybe the recipes in his books are simpler and use more common techniques..but then again !

    1 cup of Oats( like quaker oat meal oats)


    1/3 cup of Peanut butter


    1 1/4 cup of hot water





    Pre-Heat oven to 350





    1. Mix Dry ingredients together.


    2.Mix the Peanut Butter and the hot water, then mix in the dry ingredients.*you may need to add more water if the dough is too sticky*


    3. Knead the dough well.


    4. Roll out the dough in 1/4'' thickness and cut into shapes.


    5. Bake on a lightly greased cookie sheet for 40 min, let cool.

    2. Pour the yolk into a bowl and add water


    3.Whisk together until thoroughly combined.


    4. Add desired amount of food coloring whisk until color is completely mixed in


    5. Paint onto treat let dry and watch your puppy enjoy!I need dog treat recipes that you've had good luck with?
    I keep things pretty simple.





    Boneless chicken breast-Bake until done, let cool, cut up into bite sized chunks.





    Beef, Pork, Chicken or Turkey Liver- Baked at 350 until slightly dry but still chewy and then cut up into bite sized chunks. I will also dehydrate the livers.





    Hot dogs-Just cut up plain, or microwaved for a few seconds. Sometimes I'll very lightly sprinkle them with garlic before putting them in the microwave.





    String cheese- Just break bits off as needed.





    Sometimes I'll put the liver on a baking rack with hot dogs and kibble underneath. The liver juices drip down onto the hot dogs and kibble making them even more valuable to the dog.





    Dogs love these treats, they are easy to make, and more affordable than store bought treats full of who knows what.
    FRENCH FRIES!. You can cut up potatoes and fry ( preferably bake ) them. They're very nutritious and the two of you can enjoy them at once.
    just give it some small bones and it will be fine i guess thats what my grandma does and it works you should try it!

    I hope I helped! These recipes take some time, but you can try them out! Good luck!!!
    make chicken and tell your husband that it's pork chops
    Fix him pork chops the way he likes them and you eat steak, chicken or whatever!! Or go out to eat and he can order pork chops and you can order what ever!


    No one say the whole table has to eat the same thing!!





    Heres a website too!





    http://allrecipes.com/Recipes/Meat-and-P鈥?/a>
    Make sure you DO NOT overcook pork chops. I hated them for a long time until I had them made correctly. Check out the website below for pork tips.





    Reduce the recipe to your needs.





    8 Farmer John庐 Boneless Pork Chops 1 inch thick


    2/3 cup Lemon Juice


    1/2 cup Olive Oil


    1 jar (4 1/2 oz.) Garlic


    2 Tbs. dried Tarragon Crushed


    Paprika


    Recipe Instructions:


    1: For marinade, in a small bowl combine lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and tarragon.





    2: Place pork chops in a 1-gallon self-sealing plastic bag; pour marinade over chops; seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours or overnight. Drain chops, discarding marinade.





    3: Place chops on rack in broiler pan so the chops are 4 to 5 inches from heat. Sprinkle the chops with a little paprika. Broil for 5 to 6 minutes or until brown. Turn chops and sprinkle with paprika. Broil for 5 to 6 minutes more or until chops are just done.
    I'm not a big fan of them myself, so I usually wont eat them or if I have to I use either Shake N' Bake for Pork chops, or get two bowls handy. One I put fine breadcrumbs into or you can use the shake n' bake. The other bowl I put hot sauce in. I coat them in the hot sauce and then into the shake n bake or breadcrumbs. This not only spices them up but it's not so 'porky'. This also works great for chicken. If you cant take too much spice, instead of just coating them in a bowl of hot sauce. Mix some beaten eggs into a bowl and add a tablespoon or so of the hot sauce to the mix and go from there.
    dip porkchops in flower salt and pepper on there then brown on both sides in margarine let it the margarine get brown on the bottom you might more margarine in there


    then open a small can of sauerkraut put it in the pan with the chops stir it so the kraut get brown too add half can water let it cook half hour serve with mashed potatoes

    The Orange Creamsicle - Vegan / Non-Dairy Smoothie


    Recipe #2044953 ratings


    This yummy smoothie brings me back to the summer days of my childhood, eating creamsicle pops by the side of the local swimming pool. Add ice if you want to make it a thicker, icier drink - Otherwise it is a thinner, more juice-like beverage. This is such a tasty treat. Gluten-free, pareve, vegan, dairy-free.





    1 cup orange juice, not from concentrate


    1 cup rice milk, fortified (plain or vanilla)


    1 banana


    1/2 teaspoon vanilla


    Optional


    ice








    Combine ingredients in blender.


    Blend until smooth and frothy.


    Serve immediately.
    ice


    strawberries

    My favorite:


    Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Shake





    1 chopped, frozen banana


    1 cup vanilla soy milk


    1 tablespoon cocoa powder


    1 or 2 teaspoons unflavored psyllium fiber (I use Metamucil)


    1 teaspoon peanut butter





    I have this for breakfast at least 4 times a week. Delicious, and the fiber keeps me feeling full for quite a while. You could leave out the peanut butter if you wanted fewer calories, but I wouldn't.
    orange juice


    ice
    1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, chopped -- (approx. 1-1/4 cups)


    3/4 cups milk, skim -- chilled


    1/4 cups nonfat vanilla yogurt


    3/4 teaspoons vanilla extract


    3 ice cubes


    Pinch of salt


    Fresh mint sprigs

    1 banana


    orange juice


    a little bit of orange sherbert


    ice








    sorry i dont know the exact measurements, i just guess, and dont know how many calories are in it either.





    but it is really good!!
    you can use vanilla soy milk and bananas alittle ice very yummy.and you can use any kind of fruit in it.
    If you're ok with soy, peanut, or rice milk I recommend those. Then blend with strawberries and nectarines.
    Plain yorgurt, granola, special K cereal, and your favorite fruit.
    a) Frozen berries + banana + OJ


    b) peach/apricot + mango + pineapple juice + crushed ice


    c) strawberries + kiwi + pear juice + crushed ice
    Strawberries


    Fresh Orange Juice


    Bananas


    Ice





    [My fave] =]
    The best way to get the ';smoothie'; consistancy without adding dairy is to add a banana. As far as recipes go, I think a good rule is to avoid them. Add what you like to the blender and go for it. I always use half a bag of frozen fruit per serving, plus about a half cup of any liquid and a half cup of yogurt. Since you want no dairy, just use a banana in place of the yogurt. Happy summer eating!
    Milk and berries is always good, try that

    Does anyone know any recipes for healthy horse treats?

    I am looking for something specifically with flax seed and paprika. I've read that paprika is used to prevent fading and flax seed is good for their coat and hooves. I thought if I could combine these in a treat that I could give daily, they would be more likely to eat it than sprinkling all of this extra stuff on their grain. Let me know if anyone has any good recipes. Thanks!Does anyone know any recipes for healthy horse treats?
    I use both of these on my horses.. ha ha I just mix it in their grain, they eat it no problem that way, though, my gelding loves the paprika more then my mare I think.. He licks his feed pan clean.. One thing I'll let you know now, do NOT, under any circumstance use any recipe that calls for baking the horse treats.. Paprika is heat-activated and becomes 'hotter' when warmed and your horses certainly won't eat it that way (also, be sure to store it in a cool, dry place anyway). Heat also gets rid of all the good attributes of the flax seed, they would just be a waste of money. Ok, on to a couple 'treat' ideas.. But I'd still prefer to just add it in with grain as I don't believe in giving treats daily, but to each their own.. :)





    Basically you can add flax and paprika to any combination of different foods your horse likes and use molasses or honey to bind it.. Oats, oatmeal, apples, carrots, sweet feed, calf mana, sugar free applesauce, a bit of brown sugar, peppermints, bran, ect.. You could feed it sticky and gooey or shape it and refrigerate it and feed it later. Just be aware that these treats will not keep very long, so only make enough for one day, two at best..





    A treat idea for special occasions--


    Core an apple, fill it with the flax, paprika, molasses, and anything else your horse likes.. Oats, grated carrots, honey, sweet feed, ect..





    Here are a couple links to search through if you like.. Remember to use only no-bake recipies though.. Also, if you're using 'rich' ingredients, be sure to only make a small amount for your horses.. 'All things in moderation.'

    Does anyone have any recipes for home aide ketchup, mayo, and mustard.?

    They have to be made without any type of sugar or honey due to Candida diet. THANKS!!!Does anyone have any recipes for home aide ketchup, mayo, and mustard.?
    homemade mayo is just oil, lemon juice, egg yolk, dry mustard, and salt.Does anyone have any recipes for home aide ketchup, mayo, and mustard.?
    It's going to be hard to find any recipes for ketchup or mayonnaise that don't include sugar. You should be able to find plenty of mustard recipes, though.





    Just google for them. Spell ';homemade'; properly and you should find hundreds of recipes.
    Not all three. But ketchup, mayo, a little relish and a splash of brandy makes a great burger sauce. Mayo and mustard makes a great grilled salmon coating.
    well you can have a egg salad sandwich with the mayo and the mustard. and the hard bowled egg.

    See http://www.iwanttosellstuff.com for a list of good wholesale suppliers.
    You can buy used candles for a good price at thrift stores, then melt them down to use the wax for your own candles.





    Last week we tried dipping candles. It was fun and easy enough for the kids to do. All you do is dip a length of candlewick into a tall can of melted, colored wax and quickly pull it out of the can. Then you wait--that's the hard part. After a minute or two, when the wax looks dry you quickly dip it into the wax and immediately pull it out again. You repeat that until the candle is as fat as you want, changing colors to make stripes, if you want. That's all there is to it.

    Get a beef brisket, trim off as much fat as possible. Season with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, then sear the pieces (it'll be in big, large chunks, after you cut off the fat) in a olive oil in a frying pan. Put the chunks of brisket into a crock pot, add a couple beef boullion (don't know if I spelled it right) with a packet of beefy onion soup mix (dry powder), about 2-3 cups of water, and cook for about 12 hours. You can take the brisket out, strain the broth through a collander, put the broth in a pan, thicken with a mixture of corn starch and water for the best gravy. Slice the beef and serve with the gravy. Soooo easy and sooooo yummmmmmy.

    Here are a few E-Z recipes you might want to try. Good Luck %26amp; enjoy.





    COLA CHICKEN





    4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts


    %26gt; %26gt; 1 cup catsup


    %26gt; %26gt; 1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)


    %26gt; %26gt;


    Put chicken in a non-stick pan. Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.


    Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.


    (turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from


    sticking to pan)


    Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce becomes


    thick and adheres to the chicken.


    It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!





    You can double the recipe and use more pieces of


    chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot sauce....presto ';Hot


    Wings';! Not tried this, yet.





    I have used Ribs, just as good.





    Fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe) but...I


    added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for ';HOT';) Buffalo


    Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it


    was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).





    CRUNCHY ONION CHICKEN





    1 1/3 cups French’s Original French Fried Onions


    4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves


    1 egg, beaten





    LIGHTLY CRUSH:





    Onions in a plastic bag.





    DIP:


    Chicken in egg





    COVER:


    With onion crumbs, press firmly to adhere to chicken.





    BAKE:


    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.


    Place chicken on lightly greased baking pan.


    Sprinkle with additional onion crumbs, if desired.


    Bake for 20 minutes or until no longer pink in center.














    POOR MAN’S SWISS STEAK


    Mix: 1 lb. hamburger


    1 cup cornflakes


    salt %26amp; pepper to taste


    small amount dices onion


    Spread in a square baking pan.





    Pour: 1 can mushroom soup


    1 can water


    (combine together, first)


    Pour over meat mixture.


    Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees.








    CHILLI DOG CASSEROLE


    1 pkg. (8) hot dog buns


    1 pkg. (8) hot dogs (use more if you like)


    1 can Chilli (15 oz. without beans, use more if you want)


    1 small onion (chopped)


    2 cups shredded cheese


    mustard








    DIRECTIONS: Pre-heat oven 350 degrees


    In a 9'; x 13'; baking pan, break up hot dog buns (bite size) and spread in pan.


    Cut up hot dogs (about 1/2'; size) spread over buns.


    Spoon/spred chilli over hot dog/buns.


    Sprinkle onions over all.


    Squirt mustard over entire mixture (don't spread...just make a few lines both ways across mixture)


    Cover with shredded cheese.


    Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly.


    (Hint: If using extra hot dogs %26amp; chilli, don't add extra buns.)





    POT ROAST


    Your choice of beef (to fit crock-pot)


    1 pkg. dry Ranch dressing mix


    1 pkg. dry Italian dressing mix


    1 pkg. dry Brown Gravy mix


    1 cup water


    Put beef in pot.


    Mix together all the dry mixes….then add water …pour over meat and cover %26amp; cook on high 4-6 hours.


    Until meat is tender.


    The first time I mad it I didn’t have the Italian Dressing mix….so I added a pkg. of Onion Soup Mix….I have to say I liked that better.


    If you use more water you might want to add more Brown Gravy mix….to make a thicker sauce. Was gonna add potatoes and carrots…but never got around to it.
