I knocked my socks off with today's recipe on "Cookin' with Kaye"...."Mexican Pozole Stew"! Everyting about it was spot-on!! The aroma, the richness, the truly Mexican flavor...everything was perfect. Jeff Cremer from Cremer's Grocery stopped in to join us on the show today, and to sample some of this wonderful stew. Perfect on a cold winter day. And, it's not spicy hot friends. If you want to kick it up, add more cayenne pepper. The pork shoulder that I picked up at Cremer's Grocery was a big hit. Cook the heck out it until it's fork tender, then shred. I've never made this before, but, guess what, I'll be makiing this stew many, many more times, it's that good! And, Jeff brought us some good news about some specials that are back at Cremer's. Check out the Dubuque Advertiser for Cremer's sale add for details. And, check out all the great beverage specials that Jeff Jansen at Van's Liquor Store in East Dubuque has for you to stock up on. I would be remiss if I didn't mention this.....this recipe is extremely easy to prepare! Cut up the pork roast, toss it in the slow cooker and your off! Treat yourself to this stew in the near future! You won't be dissappointed!

Mexican Pozole Stew
5-6 lbs. Pork Shoulder, trimmed of fat and cut into chunks
1 bay leaf
1 tbsp. salt
4 cloves garlic, minced (1 tbsp.)
3 cups chicken stock or broth
3 cups water
28 oz. Red Enchilada sauce
1 tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. cumin
½ tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)
3 15.5oz. cans Hominy, drained or undrained (white or golden)
Garnishs: shredded green cabbage, sliced radishes, diced white or yellow onions, avacado wedges, tortilla chips, etc.

Add pork chunks to a 6 quart slow cooker and cover with garlic, bay leaf, salt, chicken stock or broth, and water, enough to cover pork chunks. Cover and cook on high 5-6 hours. Continue to cook until meat is tender. When tender, remove the bay leaf and discard. Retain liquid in slow cooker. Remove meat to a large bowl and let rest 5-10 minutes. Shred with two forks, picking out any excess fat and discarding. Return meat to slow cooker. Add in red enchiilada sauce, chili powder, oregano, cumin and cayenne pepper if using. Cover and cook on high 1 hour. Add in hominy and cook an additional 1 hour on high. Taste and add more salt if needed. Serve with garnishes if desired.

I didn't have a recipe to share for "Cookin' with Kaye" this week, not that I don't have all kinds of recipes to share, frankly, I was, as were all of us, just a bit busy this week. And, when that happens, or, your planning a get together for the Iowa Bowl Game, or the Iowa State Bowl game, or whatever football bowl game your team is playing in, Cremer's Grocery to the rescue with the famous "Heat & Eat" items. Shredded Italian Beef, BBQ Pulled Pork, Italian Pork, Sweet Jalapeno Pulled Pork, Sloppy Joe Meat, Beef Taco Meat, and Homemade Meatballs. They also have all kinds of frozen soup too!
I served up the Sweet Jalapeno Pulled Pork this morning. It runs $8.99lb. The quart container I picked up was about $20. Really saves you time not having to cook, just take the Heat & Eat out of the freezer and pop it right in the oven! Who want's to spend all kinds of time cooking on game day? Cremer's makes it simple! Don't forget their "Turkey & Dressing" sandwiches as well! And, stock up on all you beverage needs for those bowl game get togethers at Van's Liquor Store, 5 short seconds off the bridge in East Dubuque. Jeff Jansen has all kinds of beverage specials, many with rebates, happening now! Check out this week's Dubuque Advertiser for both Van's specials and this week's sales at Cremer's Grocery on Rhomberg Avenue in Dubuque. Usinng Cremer's Heat & Eat sure saves you time, and pressure!

"New York Strip Sandwiches", come on, who wouldn't want one? Cooked to perfection, a perfect medium-rare. At least, that's what I consider perfect. I shared just such a recipe today on "Cookin' with Kaye", my weekly cooking show heard Friday's at 8:20am on AM1370 KDTH. New York Strip Loin's are on sale at Cremer's Grocery on Rhomberg avenue right now for $12.99lb, when you buy the whole loin, or $14.99lb if you want Jeff Cremer to cut you a piece of the roast to make these sandwiches! And, you won't mess up the roast if you follow my recipe for cooking it. Feel free to season the loin with other seasoning, like Montreal Steak seasoning, which is what I used on this roast. And, it didn't take that long for the roast to roast away in the oven. Total time, and that's rubbing the roast with seasoning, was about 90 minutes. This New York Strip loin has less fat than a Prime Rib roast, so for those looking to cut-back on the fat, here you go....go with the New York Strip loin, and, you'll save money too! Well, I guess I can skip lunch today after having these for breakfast this morning!

New York Strip Sandwiches

3 lbs. New York Strip Loin roast
1 tbsp. Kosher salt
2 tsp. black pepper
24 small dinner rolls or slider buns
2 tbsp. butter, melted
2 tbsp. dried parsley

Preheat oven to 450-degrees F. Season roast with salt and pepper, place on a wire rack in a large roasting pan or sheet pan and place in oven and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 325-degree F and continue to roast another 55-60 minutes. Once roast measures 120-degrees F internally, remove from oven and allow to rest 20 minutes before slicing.

Heat rolls according to package directions. Place the rolls or slider buns on a large sheet pan, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with dried parsley. Bake until lightly browned and toasted, about 5 minutes.

Slice the roast against the grain as thinly as possible. Grab a bun, slice in half and add a slice or two of roast beef to bottom of roll and top with cheese sauce and the top of the bun. Serve.

You can't beat a big ol' bowl of "Chunky Vegetable Beef Soup" on cold days! With us having our first major blast of artic cold air, I thought this soup would be a great warmer upper! And, it was! Jeff Cremer from Cremer's Grocery joined me on the show today, "Cookin' with Kaye", Friday's at 8:20am on AM1370 KDTH. He was quite impressed with the soup and very complimentary. Loved the tender chunks of Beef Bottom Round Roast he cut into cubes for me along with outstanding broth and chunky cuts of vegetables. To be honest with you, this soup exceeded my expectations! The layers of flavor were over the top and out of this world. Don't let all the ingredients scare you, many are herbs, but you will have to take some time to brown the beef cubes, which enhances the flavor, and chop up and peel the veggies, but, it's worth the time and effort. I'm thankful that there are leftover! Dinnere for me the next couple of nights. Some crusty bread and a side salad and you've got one heck of meal, that will surely warm you through and through! Enjoy!

Chunky Vegetable Beef Soup
2 tbsp. Olive oil
2 lbs. beef stew meat
4 large carrots, peeled and sliced
4 ribs celery, diced
1 large onion, diced
1 6oz. can tomato paste
2 tbsp. garlic, minced
1 ½ tsp. salt
2 tsp. dried parsley
1 tsp. dried thyme
½ tsp. paprika
½ tsp. pepper
6 cups beef stock or broth
1 ½ lbs. red potatoes, rinsed and quartered
2 14.5 oz. cans diced tomatoes or Fire roasted tomatoes
1 ½ cups frozen green beans
15 oz. can tomato sauce
1 cup frozen corn
2 bay leafs

In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, heat add oil and add beef in batches and brown on all sides. Once browned, remove and add to a large slow cooker.

To the same skillet, add carrots, celery and onion to the pan and cook until onions are softened. Stir in tomato paste, garlic, salt, parsley, thyme, paprika and pepper and cook 1-2 minutes.

Add the vegetables in the skillet to the slow cooker with the stock or broth, potatoes, diced tomatoes, green beans, tomato sauce, corn and bay leaves. Cover and cook on low 7-8 hours, until the beef and vegetables are tender. Serve immediately.

I took the day off from cooking on my weekly cooking show "Cookin' with Kaye" this week, the day after Thanksgiving, as I usually do on the show on Black Friday. I'm thankful I took off from cooking today, as I made Thanksgiving dinner for some of my family on Thanksgiving day. And I tell you, it makes me really appreciate all the effort my Mother, Alicelynn Nothaft, and my grandmothers put into making a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. It is a handful! So, today on the show, we sampled some of Cremer's Grocery frozen soups. We tried the "Fireroasted Vegetable" for the vegan in your life, and a "Tuscan Sausage and Potato", and both we delicious! You'll find Old Fashioned Tomato Soup, Cremer's homemade chili, Chicken Orzo, Chicken Noodle, White Bean and Beef Steak, Red Beans Sausage and rice, Corn and Green Chili Bisque, Jerk Chicken, Wisconsin Cheese and more! $8.908 a quart for most. Don't forget to take a peek at this week's Dubuque Advertiser for Cremer's Grocery weekly specials and also Van's Liquor Store sale ad and all of Jeff Jansen's great beverage specials at Vans. I'l return next Friday with another great recipe to share! One thing for sure, these soups will help warm you up!

Tis' the season for....leftover's! And, with TGiving right around the corner, I'll focus on leftover Turkey today on "Cookin' with Kaye", my weekly cooking show heard Friday's at 8:20am on AM1370 KDTH. Who doesn't end up with leftover turkey after you holiday meal? So, today I made "Leftover Turkey Pot Pie". Two words...This Rocks! I brined at 3 3/4lb. turkey breast for 6 hours, then roasted it in the oven with a mixture of olive oil and spices. It only took 1 hour and 15 minutes to cook the bird. And, it was some of the breast turkey I've ever had. So moist and tender. That's the beauty of the brine friends! Do a google search for how to brine a turkey and keep it simple. It really does make a difference and I even bought a specific "Brining bucket" for future brines! Veg-All is a great product. Has all the vegetables you need for pot pie. And, using refrigerated Crescent rolls works perfect for a bottom and top crust. Honest to goodness, this Leftover Turkey Pot Pie recipe is very easy and over the top, hands down, one of the best Pot Pies I've ever had! Give it a try with your turkey leftovers this season!

Leftover Turkey Pot Pie
2 15 oz. cans Veg-All
2 (8 oz.) pkgs. Refrigerated crescent rolls
3 cups cooked and cubed turkey
1 (10 ¾ oz.) can cream of chicken soup
1 (10 ¾ oz.) can cream of mushroom
½ cup milk
Salt & pepper, to taste
2 eggs, beaten

Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. Line the bottom of an ungreased 9 x 13-inch baking dish with one can of crescent roll dough, pinching the seams together. In a large bowl, add cubed turkey and Veg-All. Stir to combine.
In a medium size pan, warm both cans of soup and stir in milk.

Cook, stirring frequently, until combined and heated through, about 3 minutes. Add soup mixture to the turkey mixture, stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Top with the second can of crescent roll dough; do NOT pinch the seams on these. Cover lightly with aluminum foil to prevent crescent rolls from browning too quickly. Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and rolls are golden brown, 40 minutes. Remove from oven, and brush top with beaten egg. Return to oven and bake uncovered another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool 10-15 minutes before serving.

Lot's of happy tummies at the Radio Dubuque Studio's this morning! Those happy tummies all enjoyed a bowl of my "Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Chili". A very big hit with the staff. And, this will really do the job of warming you up on those colder days ahead of us. I love this recipe simply because you toss just about everything in the ingredients list into a large slow cooker, slap on the lid, let it do it's thing and, presto! Takes about 1 hour to prep, having to dice onions, bell peppers, jalapeno.....etc. If you want to when making this recipe, you can swap out the chicken broth or stock for a 12 oz. bottle of beer. Try fireroasted tomatoes instead of Rotel, but, then you'll need to add diced green chilies to the slow cooker. If you want it to be a bit spicier, add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. I know I'll be making this again and again in the future!

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Chili
3 cans Rotel tomatoes, undrained
2 (15 oz.) cans kidney beans, light or dark, undrained
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cups frozen corn
2 cups chicken broth or stock
2 tbsp. chili powder
1 tbsp. cumin
1 tsp. oregano
1 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. minced garlic
1 jalapeno, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 large onion, diced
1 15oz. can tomato sauce
1 6 oz. can tomato paste
1 pkg. taco seasoning
3 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (garnish)
1 container sour cream (garnish)
1 bag tortilla chips (garnish)

Add Rotel tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, corn, chicken broth, tomato sauce, tomato paste, cumin, chili powder, sugar, garlic, green and red bell pepper, jalapeno, oregano, and onion into a large slow cooker. Add taco seasoning; stir to blend. Lay chicken breasts, or thighs on top, pressing down slightly until just covered. Cover and cook on low 5 hours. Remove chicken breasts from slow cooker to a large bowl and let cool. Once cool, shred the chicken with two forks and add back into the slow cooker. Stir, cover and continue cooking for 2 hours. Serve in bowls topped with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour creams and some tortilla chips.
