Brown a pound of hamburger meat in a pan.

If you don't want the little chunks that normally occur when doing this, throw in about an eigth of a cup of water and keep separating it with your spatula.  Nice even pieces like you'd find at Taco Bell - which is where I learned about this.

My imagination hasn't gone much further than meat, potatoes, carrots and broth. Guess thats why everything tastes like stew... :D

 cooker and just use a large pot on the stove over low heat, just make sure to stir often.

Didn't realize that about the spices, I've always thrown em in at the beginning. Now the "it all tastes the same" is starting to make even more sense...I'll add em 1 hour before it ends. See if she tastes better...

It's called simply - Forgotten

1 roast - about 2-3 lbs
4-5 potatoes, cut into chunks
2 onions, peeled and cut into chunks
1 packet of Lipton soup - whatever flavor floats your boat
1 can of Golden Mushroom condensed soup
1 can of Cream Of Celery soup
(I hate cooked carrots and celery - add them if you don't mind)

Dump in both cans of soup - DO NOT ADD WATER!  Stir to mix together
Throw the roast in, fat side down
Throw the potatoes in on the sides, then the onions (onions go in last if you add carrots and celery)
Throw the packet of soup mix on top, spreading it around. 

Cook on low in your slow cooker 7-8 hours. 


We have accidentally forgotten (hence the name) we had started this before we left for work, and did some other shopping and didn't get home until this had been in the slow cooker for almost 10 hours.  Other than a skin from the soup, the only other indicator was that it was so friggen tender it just fell apart with a fork!


I've got some Soup Nazi recipes too if anyone wants those.  There's far too much involved with those to be considered "easy", but the Sweet Potato soup and the Mulligatawny are to die for!

Jabba, I just like cooking and pick up stuff that helps the looks of stuff.  I DID want to be a chef way back when, but the restaurant biz is far too fickle and costly.  After seriously looking into starting a restaurant of my own, that idea just went RIGHT away!

Simple baked macaroni is what mom throws on if she has NO TIME at all, or when I actually get up the energy to cook here at school.

- Cook up whatever pasta you'd like, although elbows work the absolute best IMO.
- Throw cooked pasta in a pan
- Add some butter, a can or two of Cream of Mushroom soup, and cheese of your choice (good      old American works for me)
- Mix everything to evenly coat
- Throw in the oven until everything is melted and nice and warm.

Some people like to top with bread crumbs of some sort.. but it's not my thing.  I prefer extra cheese over bread crumbs :)

It certainly isn't the fanciest thing around, but its dead simple, super quick, and only needs a few ingredients, most of which is probably in your kitchen already.  Its also nice and filling and usually a big hit with kids.
