then add a bit of flour to make a roux and brown that lightly. Then warm milk to "cream" it. I like a bit of good paprika, sometimes the hot variety, at the end.

Got a creamed dried beef question. Do you find it best to saute the dried beef in the butter and
then add all the rest or do the cream part first and then add the dried beef at the end. Seems like both ways are in the recipes and just wondered which gets the best.

Ro*Tel -- diced tomatoes & green chilies
Ro-Tel is similar to canned stewed tomatoes. In times past, it was marketed mainly in the southern states, originating in Texas.

If do beef first, sauce should have more of a beef

shread it up, add some green chiles and diced tomatoes
and freeze for burritos or machaca beef later on...uumm good
Onion odor - eeewwww!
I did a really dumb thing. On Sunday I cut open a big purple onion and used a couple of slices in a dish. Then, wanting to be frugal and not throw the rest away, I wrapped the rest of the onion in plastic wrap and stuck it in my fridge, on a plastic shelf in the door, face-down. Okay, I'm 55 and have almost never used onions. I only bought a big one because they were out of the little pearl onions. Now, two days later, my fridge smells to high heaven! I washed out the little shelf I had put the onion on with soap and water and it didn't do anything to help. So far, all I've been able to do is put a big lump of baking soda on the shelf and hope a lot. Any ideas?
My new favorite is Vidalia onion cornbread sm
Vidalia Onion Cornbread (from Paula Deen)
1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix
1/2 stick butter
1 large Vidalia or other sweet onion, chopped
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup whole milk
1 cup sour cream
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese, divided
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dill weed (which I leave out)
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with vegetable oil cooking spray. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and saute the onion until tender, but not browned, for about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the muffin mix, egg, milk, sour cream, 1/2 cup of the cheese, the salt, and dill weed. Stir to combine. Pour into the prepared pan and top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, until set and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cornbread comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into squares.
I double the recipe and bake it in a 9x13 or even 11x15 pan and it comes out great. And to keep the cheese from getting too dark, I add it the last 10 minutes instead of at the beginning. So yummy!
Second favorite is corn casserole, very similar to the onion cornbread.
Corn Casserole
1 pkg Jiffy corn muffin mix
8 oz sour cream
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 egg
1 can whole kernel corn (do not drain)
1 can cream-style corn
1 stick of butter
Melt the butter in an 8x8 baking dish in a 400-degree oven. Meanwhile, mix the corn muffin mix, juice from whole kernel corn, egg, and sour cream until well mixed. Add remaining ingredients and pour into dish with butter. Stir slightly to mix in the butter. Bake 30-45 minutes or until set in the middle.
Again, I have doubled this recipe and baked in a 9x13 pan; however, do not double the butter or it is too greasy.
Sometimes I chop a little onion and add to the salmon with fresh
parsley. Sometimes I will add just a touch of mustard. Any way I make them they seem to turn out good. I usually just make them with egg white instead of the whole egg, but sometimes will add the egg yolk as well. I love salmon and make it frequently for myself as well. 
Pasta with zukes, carrots, onion, garlic, basil...sm
sauted in olive oil, with a garden salad. All of that (except the pasta, of course) from the garden. You guys posted lots of yummy plans.
Absolutely love tomato and Vidalia onion sandwiches.

Mojo criollo marinade - citrus, garlic, & onion sm
I can get it at my local grocery stores and use it on pork loin or chicken, and I have even found a fresh sausage with the flavor already added to it. Very good with yellow rice, black beans, and peas.
Bet it had a pound of butter too;-)
I actually love the lady. What a hoot. Have to take my break from the ole computer during her show.
I have a bag of beef
 strips and one of chicken strips, both made in China - do you know if the stores are giving refunds or anything? Thanks!
Where's the beef?
That is what I think that cute little doggie is thinking. My dog Misty likes to look at dog pictures on the internet and she finds him (or her) most attractive and she is mesmerized by that food can. Sometimes I let her watch the dog videos on U-Tube when we are bored. My husband thinks we are crazy, but he thinks it is funny watching Misty watch the other dogs. She even barks back if they bark, they are like virtual doggie playmates!
Beef!

Yummy! Who cares how much butter she uses?
She's rich ($$$$$$$$$) at this point.... :) Not another show featuring cardboard and fake cooking sprays? Do we really need another show for "light eating"? Our elders lived long lives on lard...... :) Keep on cookin', just don't eat that heavy stuff every day/night! Enjoy.... 
I have OD'd on peanut butter fudge
I don't know why I do this every year. I just went downstairs for a drink and loaded up on smoked ham with a peanut butter fudge chaser. A moment on the lips, forever on the hips...
did you change from real butter
to something else?
Nope - always have used real butter
xx - I wonder if the butter is colder or at room temperature if that affects it.
peanut butter and pickles . . also.
peanut butter and Miracle Whip. . Also chocolate ice cream with uncooked oats mixed in it.
It was a peanut butter recall.

Beef stroganoff
What I do is get the Lipton (or store brand) stroganoff mix, and add a bit of Worchestershire sauce and mushrooms and sour cream to the mix as it is heating up -- easy and it tastes -- extemely elegant as well - in fact, I am going to make a batch later :)
beef stew
I make it in a crock pot all day, but prep time is a breeze... Be forewarned. I don't measure anything. Amounts will depend on preference (more meat/less vegies, thicker vs thinner stew, etc)
Use stew meats or rump roast or whatever meat you want in it. Put the meat in the crock pot early in the morning. Should be done around noon. If large meat, take out and cut up (easire if you let it cool a while). If stew cuts, leaving it is fine. Peel and quarter potatoes (the smaller they are, the faster they'll cook, add to broth, and dump in a bag of baby carrots (onions are good,too, if the kids'll eat 'em). Let them cook a few hours until soft (mid to late afternoon). Add envelope of beef stew seasoning mix and a handful of flour. Stir as well as you can. If you used a meat other than beef (like Boston butt), add beef bullion cubes (and lots of them). Add back the meat. Add a can of mixed vegies. (Harder to stir once the vegies and meat are added back in) Check it every 1/2 hour to hour, adding flour to desired thickness. When you're happy, turn of crock pot, but let it sit so it stays hot. Salt and pepper to taste. Dinner's ready. Add water to leftovers because it will REALLY thicken when cold.
I've tasted better, but I'm always asked to bring this to put lucks, etc, because people seem to love it, and it's really simple to make, taking up very little of my time. If you forget to thaw the meat the night before, it will come out kind of tough, but is still pretty good if the cuts are decent.
luv beef stew
i used cubed up beef for stew or a roast. dip cut up meat in flour, put in crockpot, add carrots, onions, potatoes, celery and one can of diced tomato. add one or two packs of dried onion soup mix and two or three bay leaves, one or two cans of beef broth and one or two cans of beef gravy. cook for 6 or 7 hours on low. add cornstarch to thicken to taste. you can also make dumplings out of flour, milk, sugar and egg and add to the stew and that is so yummy
Beef stew
OK people....stop it with the beef stew....I only have 1 hour left to work.....trying to finish before I eat anything and then....go to sleep......but oh my goodness.....it SOUNDS SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!.....thanks for the recipe 
I have 3 lbs of ground beef, and...
Personally, I could eat cheeseburgers every night, but the boys are pretty tired of that. And I'm tired of all the other 'regulars' like meatloaf and tacos, and even shepherd's pie. What else is quick and somewhat simple that is 'throw-together' from the pantry?
Of course, my 4-year-old is finicky, and I usually give him the options of eating whatever I make or going hungry, but hopefully I'll get some suggestions that might be up his alley, too.
Thanks to all - beef was so good
Marinated 2 hours and it was good. We only ate half so will have other half tomorrow and then will see what it's like when we marinate 24 hours. This was kikkoman teriyake sauce (sp?) It was so delicious and will be doing this more. Thanks to all for the time length to marinate.
I have 1 lb of ground beef in the
fridge and expect my husband to call any time now to ask "what's for dinner". Any ideas? Yesterday I suggested taco salad, chili mac, chili and plain ole hamburgers but all got vetoed. Of course, he had no suggestions to help me out.
grass fed beef
Another good way to get your B vitamins is beef, but I got REALLY lumpy when I ate corn finished beef, grass fed is leaner than chicken.
Ground beef
Ground beef
Tator tots
french style greenbeans - drained really well
cream of mush. soup diluted with milk enough to pour over top
Brown ground beef with your favorite seasonings.
Spray bottom of a baking dish with pam, layer with tator tots, spread green beans over that, then ground beef and top with cream of mush soup bake til hot and bubbly.
Try Palmer's Cocoa Butter with vitamin E.
I had a similar problem and this worked for me. My husband even uses it and likes it. I like the unscented type. Good Luck!
Popcorn, homemade, with butter and a little salt

Nothing that good! But real butter makes everything better :-) (nm)

Peanut butter fudge recipe
 When I was little my mom used to make the world's best peanut butter fudge. She used brown sugar in it. There was a quickie fudge recipe in the Mrs Clause cookbook that called for just chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk, was thinking about trying something with that. Does anybody have a good brown sugar peanut butter fudge recipe?
peanut butter and banana sandwiches

I sent you an e-mail. Sorry mine didn't go through:( Good luck and have fun!!
Same here Austin peanut butter crackers
But not after my husband and daughter ate have the pack (didn't know about the recall before then).
Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit - sm
All this time I thought they were the same thing because at the roadside stand it said "cracklin pork", so I just thought it must be pork skins like I see in the store (and yes, they are with the potato chips). Guess this AL transplant has not even known there was a difference. Thanks for clearing that up.  All I know is I cannot stand the sight or smell of either of them.
leftover roast beef
I've had roast beef sandwiches for three days. Can I make the roast beef into something that I can freeze and eat later?
Roast beef hash is always a hit here.

EASY beef casserole
Use 2 pkg. of Jiffy cornbread mix and mix according to directions. If you don't have that in your area, it is a 'sweet' cornbread mix. Brown 1-1/2 pounds of g. beef and mix in bowl with some mild salsa or 14 oz. can tomatoes, chopped, and a can of pinto beans. Pour that in your casserole dish and then cover with the cornbread mix. My 3 year old twins love it. If you just use the tomatoes you could add some chopped onion to the beef when you brown it. Just bake it for about 20 minutes or until the cornbread turns golden brown. this is great with a salad or green beans
Two egg whites fried in butter flavored spray and a cup SM
of hot Lipton tea with lemon. Same thing every morning, and God help me if I look in the canister and discover I am out of tea bags! That just can't happen! 
Peanut butter? Works on gum. Thank goodness it was just her hair. nm
Chocolate-Oatmeal-Peanut Butter Yum-Yums
Melt 1 stick butter.
Add: 2 c. sugar
3 Tbsp. cocoa
1/2 c. milk
Bring to a boil and then boil for 1 minute.
1/2 c. chunky peanut butter (I use creamy)
2 c. quick oats
1 tsp. vanilla
Stir in peanut butter until melted. Stir in vanilla and quick oats. Drop by heaping teaspoons onto waxed paper and let sit until cool and then refrigerate.
Roast Beef and Sauce in Crock Pot
Any kind of roast, but works well with eye roast. You can pan oil quick fry it to seal in moisture, but I have cooked this without pan searing as well.
Stir together, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp ground garlic, 1/4 cup of oil, 4 tbsp vinegar, and about 1 tsp of ground ginger.
Pour over roast and cook in the crockpot. Depending on the size, I would do high for a while, and then down to low. About 8 hours or so. I've made this both in the crockpot and in the oven, so time varies. 
I use my leftover roast beef for tacos! nm
How long to cook corned beef
Does anyone know how long to cook a corned beef briskit (don't know how to spell that). I'm thinking its a few hours but not sure.
open faced roast beef sandwiches
Not so great for dieters, but heck, every now and then a little diet cheating is good. Toast up some bread, shred the roast over it, top with mashed potatoes (the real ones!), douse in brown gravy - instant comfort food.
I love fall - beef stew & cherry pie nm
..
Don't know about cats. What about adding mayo or plain veggie oil to their food? Or butter? nm
