Tuesday's Recipes

Good Morning my friends... I have had a few requests for recipes over the past few weeks and maybe even longer
Sorry it took so long!

Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
** Please note, this is just how I do it, there may be a better recipe out there... AND I use raw eggs, so if you have a problem with that, don't use this recipe, or you can adapt it to how you would like. **
 5 eggs
1-2 cups sugar
4 T vanilla
Put this in your blender and blend
Add milk, or if you have cream, but I don't usually have cream... I don't know how much milk either, you just add...
Sometimes I will add a bit of powdered milk if I am running low or whatnot. 
So I add till we get to about 3/4 full in the blender and blend, pour into the ice cream maker.  Fill with more milk till it gets close to the fill line... now taste it.  Is it REALLY sweet?  If so, then go ahead and get it going, if not, add a bit more sugar.  You want it almost too sweet, because it will mellow out as you make it.  You don't want it to taste like frozen milk. 
Now, if you know how your ice cream maker works, just pop on the lid.  Sit it in the tub.  Alternate rock salt and ice till you get to the top and turn her on!  Make sure you add more ice or rock salt as necessary till it stops turning and then your ice cream is READY if you like soft serve... if you want to harden it, you can pour it into a casserole dish or a tupperware container and freeze. 

Taco Soup
2 pounds ground beef
2 cups diced onions
2 (15 1/2-ounce) cans pinto beans
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can pink kidney beans
1 (15 1/4-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can tomatoes with chiles
2 (4 1/2-ounce) cans diced green chiles
1 (4.6-ounce) can black olives, drained and sliced, optional
1/2 cup green olives, sliced, optional
1 (1 1/4-ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 (1-ounce) package ranch salad dressing mix
Corn chips, for serving
Sour cream, for garnish
Grated cheese, for garnish
Chopped green onions, for garnish
Pickled jalapenos, for garnish
***I added some rice, some extra beans, some hominy... you can whatever you like! so go wild!***

Brown the ground beef and onions in a large skillet; drain the excess fat, then transfer the browned beef and onions to a large slow cooker or a stockpot. Add the beans, corn, tomatoes, green chiles, black olives, green olives, taco seasoning, and ranch dressing mix, and cook in a slow cooker on low for 6 to 8 hours or simmer over low heat for about 1 hour in a pot on the stove. To serve, place a few corn chips in each bowl and ladle soup over them. Top with sour cream, cheese, green onions and jalapenos.


CROCKPOT ENCHILADAS

1-1/2 lb. ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
6 corn tortillas 
2 C. fresh or frozen corn (or 15-oz can)
1 19-oz can enchilada sauce (or you can make  your own like I do)
2 C. (8 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
1 2-1/2 oz. can sliced ripe olives, drained
1 C. sour cream

***Again, I add what I like here... you don't have to follow the rules too much! Just use this as a guideline and do what you like!***

Brown ground beef and drain. Add onion and garlic; cook over medium heat until tender and transparent. Add salt and pepper. Place 2 tortillas in bottom of crockpot. Place a third of the following in layers over the tortillas: meat, corn, sauce, cheese and olives. Repeat tortillas and other layers two times. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours Serve with sour cream.

I hope you enjoy these recipes!!
Have a blessed day!
