We decided to make this on a whim, and it turned out to be really delicious! It’s a take on the beef stew recipe that we will include here in a couple of weeks.
Ingredients:
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 can chicken broth
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 2 russett potatoes, cut into chunks
- 3 carrots, cut in chunks
- 2 cups frozen mini onions
- 2 chicken breasts, in chunks
- 1 cup mushrooms
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
1. Line your crock pot and throw in your veggies and chicken. Pour broth over everything.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together cream of mushroom soup and onion soup mix. Pour over the chicken and veggies and make sure that every chunk has at least a little bit of soup covering it.
3. Cook on high for 2 hours, then turn to low until it’s time to eat. Season with salt to taste. Enjoy!

I got this recipe out of Cooking Light magazine. I noticed it when we found the Cincinnati Five-Way Chili, what grabbed my attention was the use of beer and also Worcestershire sauce. I’ve updated the calling of Worcestershire sauce to 2 teaspoons as opposed to the original 1 teaspoon as the original recipe calls for, I really like the sweetness of Worcestershire sauce.
Ingredients:
1 bacon sliced, finely chopped
2 1/2 cups finely chopped onion, divided (about 2 medium)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound coarsely ground turkey breast
1/2 pound coarsely ground sirloin
2 (12-ounce) can beer (I drink Bud Light, use what you like)
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (8-ounce) can no-salt-added tomato sauce
1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup (2 ounce) shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. Cook bacon in Dutch oven on medium heat til browned (5 minutes). Stir in 2 cups onion; cover and cook til onion is tender (5 minutes). Uncover and stir in garlic; cook for 1 minute.
2. Turn to medium-high; add turkey and sirloin. Cook til browned (5 minutes), stir to crumble. Add 1 can beer (drink 2nd can), cook til liquid reduces to 1/3 cup (7 minutes). Stir in chili powder, worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, cumin, tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Cover, reduce heat, simmer 30 minutes til it thickens. Stir in beans; cook 10 minutes. All done!

Quick Tip: We have found that the barbecue sauce has a tremendous impact on the flavor of the chili. Play around with different types of barbecue sauces, but always be sure to use a sauce that you and your family enjoy.
