Southwest Gravy over Green Chili Cornbread

I really should have planned better!

I made a menu and went to the store.

I planned for some new recipes.

Recipes from cookbooks that I bought while we were on our Summer vacation last year in Europe.

Exciting recipes!

Recipes that weren't cooked in the crockpot.

 . . . and there's the dilemma!

I worked all week!

I put everything in the freezer and revamped our weekly menu!

One night, I created this dinner sensation! 

It's a keeper in our family . . . maybe your family will like it too!

Southwest Gravy over Cornbread

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 can tomatoes with chilies
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can cheddar cheese soup
1 tsp. chili powder
cornbread mix
necessary ingredients for your cornbread mix
green chilies

Prepare your cornbread according to the package directions.  Add the desired amount of green chilies to the batter.  Place in the oven and cook according to directions while you cook the meat mixture.

Over medium high heat, cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink.  Drain off the fat.

To the meat, add the can of tomatoes with green chilies, drained black beans, and cheddar cheese soup.  Heat the meat mixture thoroughly.  Add water if you need to thin your mixture a bit.

Slice the cornbread and place in a bowl.  Ladle the gravy mixture over the cornbread.  Top with jalapenos and chopped onions if desired.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out!

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
