Unusual Slow Cooker Recipe - Easy Pot Beef

My aunt and I spent Friday sifting through the shoebox of recipes.  We sorted them to handwritten and print.  She kept a few to try and will return. I got to see many of the recipes in the box and this recipe was a handwritten one I had flagged to definitely try as I have never read a similar one before!



Easy Pot Beef

5-6# Chuck Roast
1 quart Dill Pickles, undrained
1 package dry onion soup  mix

1.  Put all ingredients in slow cooker.  Cook on low 10-12 hours or put all ingredients in roaster and cover and bake in oven at 275 for 6 hours.

2.  Remove pickles, shred beef with fork, and serve on buns.

Vintage Recipe - Corn Chowder

I will try to post to this meme each week, and hopefully it will keep me scanning and posting all of these old recipes and books I have.

This is yet another vintage recipe from that old composition book. This one sounds wonderful as well. I will give it a spin next week. Leo loves anything with corn.


CORN CHOWDER


2 tablespoons of diced salt pork or bacon
4 cups diced potatoes
3 tablespoons chopped onion
2 cups canned whole-kernel corn and liquid
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons Chopped parsley


Brown salt pork or bacon; drain off fat. Cook potatoes and onion in boiling water until nearly done; add corn, pork, and salt. Cook until done. Add milk and parsley; bring to a boil. Serve immediately. Serves six to eight.

A Shoe Box of Recipes

Yes! I was lucky enough to get a shoe box full of handwritten recipes at an estate auction. The lady had been a momm a school teacher, and an active church member, so the box is loaded with recipes.

Now I simply do not have the time to test and photo all of these right now, but I am busily entering them into my Diet Pro program, so that they will be saved.

I thought it would be fun to share them, even if I don';t get them tested immediately, so I will aim to do share some each week.

Here is one that sounds yummy.
