Notes from source:

serve with potatoes or rice or french fries or vegetables or something that you normally want to eat with steak.

Baked Fake Steak with Gravy

350° - 60 minutes. Serves 6 OR crockpot

Ingredients:

• 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
• 8-1/2 saltine crackers, finely crushed
• 1/4 cup milk
• 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 pinch salt, or to taste
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1-1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/2 (10.75 ounce) can condensed beef and mushroom soup
• 1/2 (.75 ounce) packet dry brown gravy mix

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, saltine crackers and milk. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper, and mix until well blended. Line a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan with waxed paper. Press the beef mixture firmly into the pan. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 8 to 10 hours, or overnight.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from meat, and rub flour over the top side of the beef. Flip out of the pan onto waxed paper, and rub flour on the other side as well. Cut into pieces (I use a pizza cutter).
3. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the meat until browned on each side, turning only once. Remove to a 9x13 inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, mix together the water, condensed soup, and gravy mix. Pour over the meat in the dish. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil.
4. Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven. Serve fake steak and gravy with potatoes, rice, or noodles.

Slow Cooker

Brown beef, and place in slow cooker with gravy mixture. Cook on low for 5 to 8 hours.

Notes:

Don't let the time scare you. This is an easy, simple and good recipe for using hamburger, or any ground meat. This is good to mix one day and bake the next. Goes well with noodles, rice or mashed potatoes.

1 ½	pounds shredded	cooked chicken
1	drained	14.5 oz can diced tomatoes

2	medium chopped	onions
1	4 oz can chopped	green chiles
2	cloves minced	garlic

Directions:
Spray slow cooker with cooking spray. Mix all ingredients in crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. If desired, serve with sour cream and baked tortilla strips. For baked tortilla strips, preheat oven to 400*. Lightly brush both sides of tortillas with vegetable oil, cut into strips. Spread on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes.


Notes:

For extra flavor, I make this in two steps. First, I put 1-1 ½ pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts in a crockpot with 1 ½ cups water (or 1 can chicken broth) and Mexican seasonings. (A package of taco or fajita seasoning or southwest seasoning mix works well.) Cover and cook on high 3-4 hours. Remove chicken and shred for soup. Often, I will make 2-3 pounds of chicken to make soup along with shredded chicken tacos or fajitas.

Green Chili Stew

Crock Pot - 5-7 hrs. Serves 4

Ingredients:

1 lb fresh green chili's (preferably hatch...heat can vary by taste)
1 lb pork loin (or ground pork if you prefer)
2 cans chicken broth
1 onion chopped in large pieces.
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups cooked white rice

Directions:

Cut up green chili's into strips and place in crock pot. Add chopped up onion. Make sure pork is defrosted and put it in the crock pot. Add 2 cans of chicken broth and 1 can of water (if necessary..this going to depend on the size of your crock pot). Add salt and pepper. Turn on medium and let cook for 7-8 hours. We usually turn ours on at 7am and it is done by the time we get home from work at 430.

Once pork is cooked, take out of the crock pot and shred with a fork. Add shredded pork back into stew and stir.

Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of rice in a bowl and then top with the stew. Mix it all together. The rice helps give it consistency.

We use medium hatch chili's but you can use mild if you prefer. My kids will NOT eat this. It's just too hot. AZDad and I love it though!
