Rhubarb Strawberry Dessert

2 cups cut fresh rhubarb
2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
1 box yellow cake mix
1 stick of margarine or butter
2 Tbsp flour
2 Tbsp sugar

Mix rhubarb, strawberries, flour and sugar in the bottom of bean pot.
Pour cake mix over top and smooth until flat. Cut margarine into pieces and put on top of cake mix.

Put lid on bean pot and microwave for 7 minutes.

Stir up the top of the cake and butter so that there is no more dry cake mix. Place in microwave without lid for 5-7 more minutes.

Serve warm with ice cream or cool whip. Or you can serve for breakfast or brunch!

Porcupine Meatballs

2 pounds hamburger
2 eggs
3/4 cup instant rice
1/4 cup onion

Mix together and form into balls. Place balls in bean pot.

Mix following ingredients in separate bowl:
15 oz tomato sauce
1 cup catsup
1 cup water
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic salt
dash of pepper

Pour sauce over meatballs. Place lid on bean pot and microwave for 20 minutes. Enjoy!

I always serve with rice or potatoes to use the gravy from the meatballs.

Chicken Terriyaki

We tried another great new recipe tonight!

1-1.5 pounds of chicken sliced or cubed
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup terriyaki or soy sauce (I used about half of each)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp minced garlic

Place chicken in bottom of bean pot. Remember that chicken must be thawed so you don't break your bean pot. Mix the other ingredients together and pour over chicken. Place lid on bean pot and microwave for 20 minutes.

You can easily add more chicken to the recipe as there is plenty of juice. We served it over fried rice (it was a mix) and everyone LOVED it!

Chili Soup

Chili Soup  is a major favorite around this house. We even eat it in the summer because it is such a good one!

30 oz chili beans in sauce
15 oz kidney beans drained
12 oz can of V8 juice
1 can tomato soup
1 tsp chili powder (add more if you like it spicier!)
1 tsp minced garlic

Mix all ingredients and microwave for 20 minutes! We always enjoy it with shredded cheese and sour cream on top!

ENJOY~
