  • 2 Pie Crusts (pre-made or home-made, your choice)
  • 2 cans Campbells Cream of Potato soup
  • 1 can mixed vegatables
  • ½ cup Milk
  • 2 cups chopped Chicken, cooked
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Put first pie shell in deep dish pie pan. In separate bowl mix soups and milk, add vegetables and salt and pepper. Pour into pie shell. Place chicken on top. Cover with your second pie crust. Make 5-6 slits in pie crust. Brush crust with egg (this creates a golden brown crust as it bakes). Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes before serving. You may find you want to vary ingredients in this recipe to include your favorite foods. Brandon’s favorite part of this pot pie are the ‘runned over green beans’ (aka, lima beans). This is a favorite at our house. Doesn’t take long to prepare, but tastes like you’ve been cooking all day!

  • ¼ cup Butter
  • ¼ cup Flour
  • ½ cup chopped Onion
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 14 oz Chicken Broth
  • 1 head Cauliflower, steamed
  • ½ lb Bacon, fried and broken into small pieces
  • 2 cups Velveeta Cheese, cubed
  • 1 tsp Mustard

Mix butter, flour and onion in pot, cook until it forms a soft ball. Add milk and continue to cook over low heat until it makes a gravy like mixture. Add chicken broth, cauliflower, bacon and cheese. Mix until cheese is melted. Add mustard and let simmer for 5-10 minutes. This is a very filling soup, best when served with home-made buns!

Barbeque Beef For A Crowd

  • 6 lbs Roast Beef
  • ¼ cup Liquid Smoke
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Minced Onion
  • Salt and Pepper

Bake at 250 degrees for 5-6 hours. Chill the meat and save the juice.

    Sauce:

  • 1 44 oz Ketchup
  • 1 cup meat juice
  • ¾ cup Brown Sugar
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 tbls White Vinegar
  • 1-1/2 tsp Mustard
  • 1-1/2 tsp Celery Salt
  • 1 tsp Minced Onion
  • ½ tsp Garlic Powder

Combine above ingredients and mix well. Take chilled roast and pull apart into strips. Put in a large roasting pan and pour sauce over and mix well. This can either be put back in the refrigerator to be used at a later date or I prefer to put into a crock pot and let simmer for a couple of hours before serving. This makes a large quantity of beef and also freezes well. (I have used this on the 4th of July and it was a big hit, besides being super easy!)
