MOUNTAIN MAN STEW

Steps:

• In a large, deep skillet over medium heat, cook bell pepper, onion, carrots and mushrooms in butter, until onion is translucent. Stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and beef. Cover and cook over low heat until vegetables are softened and meat is browned, stirring frequently.
• Meanwhile, place potatoes in a 2-quart saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15 minutes. Drain and stir potatoes into vegetable mixture.
• Pour 1 1/2 quarts water into the 2-quart saucepan and dissolve the bouillon in the water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
• In a large mixing bowl or stock pot, carefully combine broth and vegetable mixture until well combined. Serve hot.

SNOW ON THE MOUNTAIN

Steps:

• Put the chicken in the crock-pot. Add two cups of water. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Cook on high 2-3 hrs until done.
• Cut chicken into small chunks, and make gravy with the broth that you drain off the chicken. I use cornstarch, but use flour if you prefer, for the gravy. Cook rice for 10 people. Your guests will bring the other 9 items. (See Notes below)
