Welcome to my Kitchen!

As often as possible you will find new recipes, that I have found on the internet, from others and some that are family favorites. Most are easy and use common ingredients found in most kitchens. Not all pictures are taken by me, but I do add my own pictures as soon as I can after I have made the recipe and remember to take the picture. Pull up a chair, help yourself to some coffee and make yourself at home. Please leave a comment, I appreciate feedback. Thank you.

Chop Suey

CHOW MEIN
1 lb. lean ground turkey (hamburger will work too)
1 onion chopped
2 beef bouillon cubes
 1/2 cup hot water
4 oz can of sliced mushrooms drained
1/3 cup soy sauce
4 Tbl. cornstarch
1 - 6 1/2 oz can water chestnuts drained and halved
28 ounce can stir fry veggies
10 ounce can of chow mein veggies or bean sprouts


Brown the ground meat in a large skillet. Do not add oil. Add onion to the browned meat and continue to cook over low heat for 5 min. Drain off any fat that has accumulated. Dissolve bouillon in hot water, add mushroom juice to bouillon and add to the meat along with the soy sauce and cornstarch (mix those until smooth before adding)Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer stirring constantly until thickened. Stir in Mushrooms, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, and Chinese vegetables cooking until just heated.
You can use one lb.  ground beef or ground turkey , I use mushrooms pieces and stems 6.5 oz can. I use sliced water chestnuts and sometimes I use the larger can of veggies and no can of sprouts.

Serve with chow mein noodles or rice.
