Broccoli and

Cauliflower

warm over hot cooked rice.

In a lightly greased medium slow cooker,

combine the broccoli, soup, milk, shallots,
cheese, Worcestershire, pepper, and

Drizzle with the butter. Cover the insert top

One-Dish Broccoli and

Brown Rice Casserole
I love rice with broccoli, and this dish
becomes a complete meal with the addition of
turkey. You can substitute chicken or ham for
the turkey if you wish.

1 1 2 cups uncooked brown rice

1 1 2 pounds turkey tenderloin, cut in large dice
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
1 (16-ounce) bag frozen broccoli
3 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 leek, chopped
2 (10.75-ounce) cans condensed cream of
mushroom soup
1 2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 2 teaspoon white pepper
1 2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 4 teaspoon paprika
1 1 2 cups low-sodium chicken stock

Chuck steak is another one of those

inexpensive beef cuts that benefits greatly
from low, slow cooking to turn it tender, as
my grandmother used to say. Its easier to
slice the raw meat if you place it in the freezer
for fifteen minutes.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings

2 pounds boneless chuck steak, cut into thin strips

1 (10.5-ounce) can beef consomm
1 2 cup oyster sauce*
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 (16-ounce) bag fresh broccoli florets
Hot cooked rice

In a lightly greased medium slow cooker,

layer the rice, turkey, 1 cup of the cheese,
broccoli, carrots, and leeks. In a medium
bowl whisk together the soup, garlic salt,
white pepper, thyme, and paprika. Spread
over the layered mixture and top with the
remaining 1 cup of cheese. Pour the stock
around the edges of the ingredients and do
not stir. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours.
Stir and serve warm.

Place the beef in a lightly greased medium

slow cooker. Add the consomm and oyster
sauce. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours.
Place the cornstarch in a small bowl.
Remove 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid
and stir into the cornstarch until smooth.
Stir the cornstarch mixture and broccoli
