Chicken Broccoli Casserole

This is the recipe for chicken broccoli casserole that we always ate as children, teens, adults, and basically all the time.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

1 whole chicken
2 pkgs frozen broccoli crowns
1 c mayonnaise
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp curry
1/2 c real margarine, melted
1/2 c shredded cheese
1/2 c bread crumbs

Boil chicken and broccoli. In a 8 x 8 baking dish, layer shredded cooked chicken and broccoli. Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry, and margarine to make the sauce and pour over broccoli and chicken. Top with cheese and bread crumbs. Cook at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Serve with rice cooked in the chicken and/or broccoli broth.

V8 Stew

The "V8 Stew" that we had as children came originally from the Betty Crocker cookbook with some adjustments. It's in there as Old-Fashioned Beef Stew. This is the recipe as adjusted by Cardine.

1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 lb beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 cups of carrots, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
3 medium red potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 large onion, cut into 1 inch pieces
3 cups V8 juice
1 Tbsp or 1 cube beef boullion
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp pepper

Cook beef in oil in a pan for 4 to 6 minutes, until browned on all sides. Spray crock pot with cooking spray. Add all ingredients to crock pot. Cover. Cook on low for 9 to 10 hours.
