Tonight was our night for trick or treaters to come around
so I wanted something easy for supper. I had seen this idea from the Pioneer
Woman to use up stuff from the pantry by mixing 7 cans for some soup. I had
some cooked beef and two ground chuck burgers. I had forgotten to vacuum seal
the burgers so thought I better use it for the soup too. I had 5 cans of
veggies and some beef bouillon granules.
My wife has dressed up and set out front to hand out candy
for about 30 years now. She has had many different costumes and this year
needed something warm. It was about 40 deg. and windy. She said she was a baby
this year wearing a one piece flannel pajama set and had her bottle with
nipple. The daughter in law and grandson was coming for supper. The grandson said
he would help hand out candy.
After lunch I chopped up the beef and added to the Crockpot
with a quart of water and two rounded teaspoons of beef granules. I browned the
burgers and broke up then added some chopped onion, salt and pepper to it. I deglazed
the skillet and added it in too. I added in some spaetzel I had left. I then
drained and added a can of cut green beans, a can of hominy, a can of corn, and
a can of cannellini beans. I added an undrained can of fire roasted
tomatoes. I set the Crockpot on high for
an hour then went to low.
I went to Krogers in the AM to get some Napa cabbage for
kimchi and got a country style sourdough loaf to make some cheesy pull bread to
go with the soup. I stopped at a Country store where I buy butter and a lot of
good Troyer products. They just happened to have a Troyer black raspberry pie
and I got one for our dessert along with some Edy’s vanilla bean ice cream.
I checked the soup at 4:00 and added some salt and a little
more water. I had to feed the wife before 6:00 when the trick or treaters start
coming. I sliced the bread in 1 inch squares and added some sliced sharp white
cheddar in the slits then poured a half stick of melted butter over. I wrapped
it in foil and placed in a preheated 400 deg. oven for 15 minutes then folded
the foil down and added some Seargento’s 4 state shredded cheddar to the top
and back in the oven for another 10 minutes.
I just got the wife and my soup served and the DIL and grandson
came. They both had some soup and bread too. The soup had good flavor. The
grandson had decided to do some trick or treating with a couple of friends so
went for 45 minutes then came back to help hand out candy. The cold cut back on
the number of kids this year, most years we will have over 200 but I doubt if
it was half that this year.
We all had some of the black raspberry pie and ice cream for
dessert. To me it’s the best pie ever and kinda hard to find anymore. All in
all we had fun tonight and with the leftover chicken and rice from last night and
the soup I should not have to cook all week-end!
