Sun.-Homemade pasta fagioli
________________________________
will you please share your recipe
I tried it for the first time tonight. Came out yummy. I changed things slightly. made 1/2 the recipe, added carrots, italian seasoning in place of oregano, tomato sauce in place of crushed tomatoes (I hate chunks) and white canellini beans instead of kidney. I cooked the pasta (I used tubettini) separately and added it to each bowl so it woudn't get soggy. Added a ton of freshly grated cheese. Yum!
Ingredients
3 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 cup olive oil
4 cups chopped onion
2 cups chopped celery
2 (4.5 ounce) jars bottled minced garlic
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
8 (14 ounce) cans beef broth
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
2 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons dried parsley
2 cups ditalini pasta
2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
Directions
In a large pot over medium heat, cook beef until no longer pink. Drain and set aside.
In the same pot, heat the olive oil. Cook onion, celery, garlic and black pepper until vegetables are tender, 10 minutes. Stir in beef broth, crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Season with thyme, basil, oregano and parsley. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 1 hour. (At this point, you may put the pot on a back burner to keep warm and continue with the next steps about 1 hour prior to serving, if you wish.)
Stir in the beef and simmer 15 minutes. Stir in the pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the beans and heat through, 10 to 15 minutes.

Can you give me the Salsa Chicken recipes?
Thanks!
Sure!
Salsa Chicken in a Crockpot
Ingredients:
2 packs of boneless skinless chicken thighs (or you can use chicken breasts)
1 packet of taco seasoning mix* (I make my own- recipe below)
1 jar of salsa (has 2 cups in it)
Directions:
1. Mix taco seasoning with chicken and place in crock pot.
2. Cover with a jar of salsa.
3. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. (Personally, I cooked on high for 1 hour and then switched to low for another 5 hours).
My own notes:
1. This makes 8 servings- I cook in bulk to freeze.
2. I shredded my chicken in the last half hour so we could use it to make enchiladas. I served it with corn tortillas, shredded mexican cheese blend, sour cream, guacamole and other fixins.
3. Some people like to add a rinsed/drained can of black beans or corn for more flavor.
*Taco Seasoning Mix (from allrecipes.com)
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 1/2 tsps. ground cumin
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. black pepper
Mix all together in a bowl and you have taco seasoning!
