Beef Burgundy by Mindy Schiman

Stew meat
2 packets dry onion soup mix
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
2 Tbsp. burgundy wine
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

Place meat into 9x13 or crockpot. Spread soup over meat. Sprinkle onion soup on top. Drizzle wine and Worcestershire over all. Cover and bake at 250 degrees (or on low for crock) for 6 hours. Serve over cooked rice.

**Oh my goodness, this one was fantastic! This recipe was Mindy's grandmother's. Even better the next day! I used 2 packages of stew meat (approximately 2 pounds) and found the burgundy wine by the salad dressing and vinegar at the grocery store. We ate it over mashed potatoes instead of rice but I'm sure it would be fantastic with the rice too. EXCELLENT!

Ranch Stew by Mindy Schiman

Brown 1.5 lbs hamburger with one diced onion (optional). Drain, put in crockpot. Add 2 cans Ranch style beans, 3 cans minestrone soup and 2 cans of Rotel. Cook on low. Serve with cornbread or tortilla chips (best with tortilla chips).

**Joy isn't much for soup but he liked this one because it is thick and hearty. Makes a BIG batch. In fact, I froze half of it to eat another day. We ate it with tortilla "scoops" and a little dab of sour cream.

Cheesy Potato Soup by Yours Truly

6 potatoes, peeled and cut into bite sized pieces
2 onions, chopped
2 carrots, sliced
3 stalks celery, sliced
4 chicken bouillon cubes
1 Tbsp. parsley flakes
5 cups water
Salt & pepper to taste
1/3 cup butter or margarine
1 evaporated milk
1/2 to 1 lb. Velveeta

Cook potatoes, celery, carrots and onion in the water and bouillon, salt and pepper. When tender, add evaporated milk, margarine, parsley and Velveeta. Heat on low so cheese doesn't stick. Serve topped with chives, if desired.

**My favorite potato soup recipe, hands down. I leave out the onion, as usual. Yum-O!
