1 Lb. trimmed beef tenderloin

1 c. sour cream
2 1/2 tbsp flour

When ready to serve mix flour into sour cream and mix in insert until moisture thickens (sauce should be thin but not liquid). Season to taste. Serve over rice or noodles.

Pot Roast + Veggies
*no pic again... just no time between baseball games!*

1 Small Roast
1 Tbs. flour
1 Tbs. oil
1 Tbs. beef bouillon
1/2 Cup water
4-5 toes of garlic (we like garlic!)
1 large onion (cut into large wedges)
5-6 small potatoes
5-6 large carrots
Crock Pot (ok so I'm addicted to the thing!)


Wet roast with a little water. Roll roast in flour. Heat oil in skillet and sear roast until well browned on all sides.

Put roast, beef bouillon, water, garlic, and onion into crock pot and turn on low for 4 hours or so. 2 hours before eating add potatoes and carrots (and more water IF needed).

Continue cooking.


Verdict:
Papa: Super Yummy!
Kids: JC yum!, Roo yum! + Meme... he eats!!! Yes!
Mama: Really good! Might be a tad salty but it was a super hot day so I think we all needed a bit more salt then usual.

Cornbread Chili Pie
1 lb. hamburger (cooked)
1 can Chili
1 cup grated cheese
1 cup Albers Yellow Corn Meal
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sucanat
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 cup evaporated milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg

Mix fully cooked hamburger and chili together, pour into 9X13 pan. Sprinkle 1 cup grated cheese on top.
Combine corn meal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Combine milk, oil and egg in small bowl and mix well. Add milk mixture to flour mixture, stir just until blended.
Pour Cornbread mixture on top of chili mixture, spread evenly.
Bake 400F for 20 minutes or until wooden tooth pick inserted in cornbread center comes out clean.
Papa Verdict: Good
Kid Verdict: Mixed: Roo loved it (it had beans so of course he would), JC ate his but really wanted more donuts (sigh), and Meme... wouldn't even put it in his mouth.
Mama Verdict: Ok, but I really thought it would be moister. Needs to be cooked in a much smaller pan so that cornbread covers all the beans. WW flour worked just fine in cornbread mix.
