Crockpot Hungarian Goulash

This recipe is one of my favorite since it reminds me of my favorite dish at the Brauhaus restaurant.

2 lbs round steak or venison steak, cubed
2 Tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/2 tsp. paprika
I add curry powder since that is my favorite. Maybe 1/2 tsp. or more
1 can tomato soup (I use 1 pint home-made tomato soup)
1/2 soup can water
1 cup sour cream

Put meat into crockpot. Mix powders and flour and stir into meat. Add all remaining ingredients except the sour cream. Stir well. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours. Add sour cream and warm for 30 min.
Serve over Noodles or Spaetzle.

I always make Spaetzle for this recipe since it goes so well together and they are very fast to make. I do have a Spaetzle maker that I bought at http://www.lehmans.com/

Crockpot Pheasant or Duck

This is my favorite way to cook pheasant breasts or duck breasts (you could do it with chicken of course.)

About 4 breasts
2 cans of cream of Mushroom soup (or one batch homemade cream of mushroom soup made with two cups cream)
1 cup home-made chicken broth (or beef)
2 tsp. Worchestershire sauce (without MSG)
1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Selection of your favorite herbs, such as oregano, basil and parsley.

Combine ingredients, pour over breasts in crockpot and cook on low for about 7-8 hours. Serve over Wild Rice. (Wild Rice is more digestible and nutrients more available to you if you soak it for 7-12 hours first. To soak: Rinse wild Rice, put into a bowl with warm water and add 2 Tbsp. of kefir, buttermilk, vinegar or lemon juice, set into oven with the lamp on to keep the temperature up a little. Just before cooking drain and cook in fresh water.)
