Caramelized Onions

I'd put this under sides or Vegetarian stuff...I guess it depends on what you want to do. I just figured it'd be helpful because I never knew how to make these until recently and now I do it all the time!

1 Large Onion
3 TBS olive oil
3 TBS vinegar
3 TBS sugar

Slice Onion into long relatively thin (but not too thin) strips. Put all ingredients in a pot. More sugar, olive oil, and/or vinegar may be needed depending on how big or how many onions you cook. Cook on high for 5 minutes (just until the onions start to look opaque like they're a little cooked) then look on low until they're looking brown and thin. Stir often.

*Tip- Turn the stove on the lowest setting and just forget about them. They take like 45 minutes to cook,.

bump for beef stew

Re: The 09er's Official Newlyweds Cookbook - If you want your recipe in the cookbook it has to be on THIS thread.

I just wanted to say that I made the Flan and LOVED it!!! Thank you!!

Re: The 09er's Official Newlyweds Cookbook - If you want your recipe in the cookbook it has to be on THIS thread.

Hey everyone, bumping this. We could use soup recipes if anyone has good ones. We are in really good shape otherwise and the book is really big, but there is still time to be a part of it.

Re: The 09er's Official Newlyweds Cookbook - If you want your recipe in the cookbook it has to be on THIS thread.

I have some beef stew and chicken soup recipes I will post tomorrow

Re: The 09er's Official Newlyweds Cookbook - If you want your recipe in the cookbook it has to be on THIS thread.

I made this recently and if you dont like sauasge you can swap it out for whatever meat or poutly you like and it should still taste great!!!

Italian Sausage Soup with Tortellini

1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed or any other meat
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 cups beef broth
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup red wine
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 cup thinly sliced carrots
1/2 tablespoon packed fresh basil leaves or dry basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups sliced zucchini
8 ounces fresh tortellini pasta
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or dry parsely

Brown the sausage. Remove, drain and reserving 1 tablespoon of the drippings.

Saute onions and garlic in drippings. Stir in beef broth, water, wine, tomatoes, carrots, basil, oregano, tomato sauce, and sausage. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.

Skim fat from the soup. Stir in zucchini and parsley. Simmer covered for 30 minutes. Add tortellini during the last 10 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

You don't have to use beef broth. You can use chicken broth or even water. Also if you dont like the veggies you can swap them for any other type like frozen corn or green beans.

Buffalo Chicken Dip
Take a rotisserie chicken and pull off every bit of meat you can -- cut it all up into small pieces.
2 blocks of cream cheese
1 cup chunky blue cheese dressing
1 cup Frank's hot sauce
Shredded cheddar cheese

Put the cream cheese in a frying pan to melt - keep stirring.
Add chicken until mixed thoroughly
Add dressing and hot sauce

Place the mixture into a small casserole or baking dish -- top with the shredded cheddar. Let melt. Ready to serve. If the cheese does not melt right away you can always throw it in the oven so it melts to your liking.
