Recipe # 6 & 7

This week I ended up using Campbell's "Cream of..." soups to make the majority of our dinners.

The first two recipes I got from simply calling my mom and telling her ingredients I had in our kitchen.  

Goodyear Shrimp (Totally made this name up...)

Ingredients
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 whopping Tbsp minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1 bag of large frozen shrimp (31-40) (thawed)
1 cup chopped bell peppers (I used red, orange, and yellow bell peppers because I always have them chopped and in a ziploc bag in our freezer ready to get tossed into a dinner.   I do the same with the red onion.)
2 tsp Herbes de Provence
1 tsp Crushed Red Peppers
1 can of Campbell's Cream of Shrimp soup
1 bag of Uncle Ben's 90 second Garden Vegetable rice

Directions
Place the garlic, olive oil, and onions in the pan and brown.  Once the onions become 'clear'ish place the shrimp, bell peppers, and spices into the pan.  Cover, stir occasionally.  When shrimp is completely cooked pour soup into pan.  Reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 5 minutes so ingredients can soak into soup.  Follow directions on rice bag.  Place desired amount of rice on plate and scoop shrimp dinner onto rice (unless you don't like it touching then you can have your shrimp dinner on the side of rice...whatever makes you happy).  

Suggestion: I accidentally got the shrimp with the shell still on and we didn't peel it until AFTER it was all cooked and on the plate.  If I would've remembered what I did in the past, I would've thawed the shrimp THEN peeled the shrimp, then cooked the shrimp



Recipe # 7

Homemade Mushroom Hamburger Helper

Ingredients

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 whopping Tbsp minced garlic

1/2 cup chopped red onion

1 lb ground beef (Because it was a good price, I purchased 5.5 lbs of ground beef then divided it into quarters, placed the quarters in ziplocs, and froze the meat. Therefore we used about 1.375 lb ground beef)

6 large mushrooms, sliced

1 Tbsp dried tarragon

1 can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup
3 Tbsp sour cream

2 bags Idahoan Roasted Garlic mashed potatoes

Place the garlic, olive oil, and onions in the pan and brown.  Once the onions become 'clear'ish place the ground beef in the pan, cover, and brown. When the ground beef is almost completely browned, turn heat to medium, place the sliced mushrooms and tarragon in pan and cover for about 3 minutes.  Mix the soup and sour cream in with the ingredients in the pan.  Follow directions on Idahoan mashed potato bag.  When potatoes are done place desired amount onto plate.  Place hamburger dinner over potatoes.
