My woman originally saw the book on a forum....not on my list of things to try though...

Cooking with ****??????

If I found out that someone tossed it in my soup, I'd put their lights out.

Bear Burgers (Bear=Nickname for MIL)

Brown a pound, pound and a half of hamburger or ground turkey. Drain and add one can minestone and one can vegetable beef soup. Simmer and slightly reduce.

Lay out burger bun halves on a cookie sheet and spoon mixture on each half, top with shredded cheese and slide under the broiler until cheese is melted and browned (30 sec.).

Enjoy!

Doctor them as you wish!

Worked with a guy whose brother had a barbecue joint. His business cards said "Nobody beats my meat".

Perhaps not a secret but about as simple as can be. Otherwise, I'd be flustered. Put a rump roast (preferably) in a slow cooker with a can or two of French Onion Soup. Sprinkle a little garlic powder and a little salt and cook on low for 12 - 18 hours. Add potatoes and/or carrots along the way. For a thicker gravy, add a can of Cream of Mushroom Soup.

Add about 1 cup of Coca Cola to the basting liquid when you roast a chicken. Gives it a nice glaze while it cooks and the gravy made from the drippings is delicious.

When making a pot roast use dark beer as the liquid, add 1 or 2 large onions chopped course and carmelized and a few large bay leaves. Makes a fantastic Bavarian style roast.

Smoked Gouda in your grits

RE#84,

My motto is similar.

Hogleg BBQ you can't beat my meat.
