Burgundy Beef





Mmmm...burgundy beef. Yummy! Sounds great to me. We had some friends stay with us & she made this for us for dinner one night. I was good, a keeper in our book.

2lb Stewing beef
1 can French Onion soup
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
1 can Cream of Celery soup
1/2 cup of Burgundy (or any red wine)

Place everything into Crockpot and mix. Cook on high for 4 hours (or use 4 hour setting if you have one). This can also be made in a casserole dish in the oven (bake for 3 hours at 350). Tastes great over egg noodles, rice or mashed potatoes. Don't forget your crusty bread.

Chicken Caesar Wraps

Well, sorry for no picture, but you can get the idea, if you go & look at the gyro burger. Once again, meat free dish. It was good, but not super filling. I needed more than 1 to fill me up. Would be good with real chicken too!

Serves 2

2 frozen BOCA Meatless Original Chik'n Patties or the spicy ones would probably be good too.
Caesar Dressing
lettuce
Flat bread or pita bread

COOK patties as directed on package. CUT patties into strips; place on pita bread. Top with lettuce & however much caesar dressing you want.

Gyro Burgers





Well, for use finding recipes that are meat free to use during lent is hard. You can't just say, "well, lets cook up some fish" since I cant eat it. So, when I ran across this recipe. I wanted to give it a shot. I am glad I did. It was really good. I wouldn't say it was the most filling dish (probably could have eaten 1.5), but the flavors are good! Chips, onion rings or tater-tots make a great addition to this.


Serves 4
4 frozen BOCA Brushetta Burgers
1/2 cup Sour Cream
1 clove garlic, minced
4 foldable pita breads or flat breads
2 plum tomatoes, sliced
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup chopped cucumbers
1/4 cup crumbled Feta Cheese

HEAT grill to medium heat.

GRILL burgers 8 min. or until cooked through (160ºF), turning after 4 min.

MEANWHILE, mix sour cream, garlic and cucumbers until blended.

CUT burgers in half. Top pitas with tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber cream sauce, burgers and cheese; fold in half.
