I posted the new-to-me recipe link on the Recipe Message Board last week and here are my thoughts after making it today: - We have officially entered our seven months of cold weather here in interior Alaska and I am thankful this is blue-taped, meal prepped, safe stashed in my freezer. - It is more like a stoup than a soup … cross between a soup and stew. - Totally easy to adapt to what you have on hand … have a bunch of leftover beef patties from a BBQ? Chop ‘em up and use those. Had a successful moose/deer/antelope/caribou harvest this year? Use that. Found 50% off ground beef at Kroger and cooked it/froze it six weeks ago? Use that. - I totally cheated and used 1.5 cups of cooked, chopped bacon in the bag from Costco because I did not want to thaw 3 lbs of bacon for 5 strips. No regrets. - Label your freezer meals/safe stashes unless you enjoy playing “mystery meal dinner.” I have been using blue painter’s tape for years. It works great and is inexpensive. - Do not skip the mustard. Trust the recipe. If you don’t want a creamy stoup, leave out the cream cheese and cheddar. It is fantastic with or without it. - It. Makes. A. Lot. Of. Meals. My husband: “This is so filling.” My head: “Stimulating the right hormones for the win!” Shhhh. Our little secret. - If you cannot find the recipe message board, feel free to ask for help. We got ya!
