I drained mine after I added the Tomatoes and Green Peppers

I cooked the Tomatoes and Green Peppers for a minute, but I don't think you have to do that.

Tuna Cakes

This is a recipe from Kraft Foods and I changed it drastically, but you can pick theirs out if mine seems unappealing. :-) I was surprised how much I liked these! So good. Cary and I thought these would be good in a sandwich

Tuna Cakes

2 cans (6 oz. each) light tuna in water, drained, flaked (you can use any kind of fish you want)
1 pkg. (6 oz.) STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix for Chicken (I just used Bread Crumbs, Parmesan Cheese, Onion powder, Garlic powder, Pepper, and some Paprika for a kick)
1 cup KRAFT Shredded Mild Cheddar Cheese (I used Extra Sharp)
3/4 cup water 1 carrot, shredded
1/3 cup KRAFT Real Mayo Mayonnaise (I used Ranch Dressing!)
2 Tbsp. CLAUSSEN Sweet Pickle Relish (I chopped up some Dill Pickles since I hate sweet Pickles)

MIX all ingredients. Refrigerate 10 min.

HEAT large nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium heat. Use ice cream scoop to add 1/3-cup portions of tuna mixture, in batches, to skillet.

FLATTEN into patties with back of spatula. Cook 6 min. or until golden brown on both sides, carefully turning patties over after 3 min.


Tuna
Add Bread Crumbs
and Spices

Cheese

I added some Parmesan Cheese

Carrots and Ranch Dressing

My Dill Pickle Relish :-)

You definitely want to use a non-stick pan for this, I tried at first to use a different pan and it FAILED.

Just cook each side for about 3 minutes or until brown. So good! You gotta try these.

Beef Stroganoff

Another recipe from Taste of Home. The original recipe is done in a skillet but I did it in the crockpot.

Beef Stroganoff

5 c sliced fresh Mushrooms (I used canned Mushrooms)
1 large Onion, sliced
1 T reduced fat Butter
1/2 c hot Water (if you are going to do it in a crockpot, I'd do 1 c Water)
1 T prepared Horseradish
Salt
Pepper
1/4 c Flour (I added WAY too much Flour for the crockpot, 1/2 c would be good)
1 1/4 lbs Beef cut into strips
1 c reduced fat Sour Cream

Hot cooked Noodles

Since I did it in the crockpot that will be what the directions are for
Put Mushrooms in

Add the Butter

Onion

Beef strips

Put the Flour in and mix everything until all the Flour is absorbed

It should look somewhat like that, but I put a little too much Flour in.

Season with Salt & Pepper, and then add the Horseradish. Mine cooked on high for 4 hours.

After you turn off the heat or crockpot, mix the Sour Cream in
