Food

Rosemarie was asking about food. Tonight we're having what we call "Slop de Jour"; a very easy, all in one pot meal.

For 3 or 4 people (you can adjust to your own family size.)

3 or 4 chicken breasts (skin removed) or 3 or 4 pork chops. Place these in the bottom of a roasting pan.

The following ingredients are spread on top of the meat.

Sliced potato's - enough for your family size
1 whole onion, sliced or chopped up (whichever you prefer)
2 or 3 stalks of celery - sliced or chopped
Sliced carrots - enough for your family.
1 or 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup. I use 2 cans. Use a s-p-o-o-n to spread the soup out of the can over top of all the ingredients and it makes a lovely sauce. (For some reason it won't let me use the word "s-p-o-o-n" spelled out altogether - )

Bake Covered at 325 degrees for 3 hours.

Cheryl,

Wow that sounds really good. I will try that tomorrow for supper I have everything it takes. I love those I pot meals. Thank you for thinking about me and posting this. Wow I can't wait. I will let you know tomorrow evening. Tom says he would likt to try it with the chops so chops it is. I kind of figured that he is not a big chicken person. Thanks again Cheryl.

I just wanted to add that if you're only doing enough of this dish for two people with 1 can of mushroom soup, please check it after it has been cooking for 2 hours.
