1 1/2 lbs ground beef, browned
1 can kidney beans
1 can romano beans
3 cans tomato soup
1/2 cup hot salsa
2 tbsp chili powder (or less)
Mix everything together and heat thoroughly. Let simmer for best flavour. You can add chopped onion and peppers. But it is good without this stuff if you have picky eaters.

Crock Beef Stew
No official recipe for this either.
I use a package of stewing beef. I am guessing it might be a pound and a half. I cut the pieces smaller than they come.
Peeled potatoes, carrots, celery, onion... just whatever feels right. Maybe 5 or 6 potatoes, two celery stalks, one onion, as many carrots as you like. Chop them all up and throw them in the crock with the beef.
I sometimes add some frozen peas or corn or leftover veggies that are lurking in the fridge.
Add a couple packets of beef bouillion, and just a bit of water... maybe 1/4 cup. Set on low or high until all is tender and smells so good.
Depending on the potatoes you use, you may not need to add any cornstarch to thicken the gravy. If it is not to your liking... mix maybe two heaping tablespoons of cornstarch in a little cold water and add to stew. Let simmer a little until thickened.
I serve this with bread or biscuits

Sesame Salmon
1/4 cup sesame oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1-2 limes, juiced (2-3 tablespoons)
1-2 cloves garlic, pressed
3 green onions, chopped
6 salmon fillets
Preheat oven to broil.
In a plastic zip lock bag, mix together the sesame oil and soy sauce.
Squeeze the limes till you get 2-3 tablespoons of lime juice. Add the
lime juice, garlic and onions to the plastic bag.
Place the fish in the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30
minutes or up to 3 hours. If you choose to do this the night before,
remove fish from the marinade into a fresh bag and refrigerate overnight.
Discard marinade.
Place salmon fillets skin side down on broiler pan.
Set broiler pan about 4 or 5 inches from heating element and cook salmon
till done, about 10 minutes per inch, so figure your time accordingly and
watch it... your broiler could operate hotter and faster. Salmon
is done when it flakes easily with a fork and is light pink in color.
