Amazing Crockpot Beef Stroganoff

I found this recipe via Pinterest from The Crockstar. It is absolutely delicious!

2 pounds cubed stew meat 2 cans Condensed Golden Mushroom Soup 1 largish onion diced 2-3-4 tabls of Worcestershire 1/2 water 8 oz of cream cheese couple of dashes of Garlic Salt couple dashes of Hot Paprika In the slow cooker stir in all the ingredients, except the meat AND the Cream Cheese, together. Once combined add the meat and mix together. Cook on Low for 8 hours. Cut up the cream cheese into cubes just before serving and turn crockpot on high. Stir the cream cheese in until all combined. You might have to put the lid back on and leave for 10 minutes. Serve over egg noodles. This is just amazing! Also if you have not discovered Pinterest, let me know and I will send you an invite.

Super Simple Shrimp Etouffee

I love Etouffee but not the time it takes to make the roux, chop the vegetables.

So here is my super simple recipe:
1 lb. of shrimp peeled and deveined
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 can Golden Mushroom Soup
1 can Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies (If you want the non-spicy version, use one can of Italian Style Diced Tomatoes)

Combine the soups and tomatoes in a skilled and heat until well combined. Add the shrimp and cook until the shrimp are done.

Serve over rice.

Yummy!!
