Russian Beef

Stew beef (enough for your family)
one or two onions, quarted
potatoes, cubed
carrots, cubed
one bottle of Russian salad dressing (Wishbone brand)
Salt and pepper to taste.


Steer stew beef.  Add stew beef, onions, potatoes and carrots to crock pot.  Pour entire bottle of dressing over meat and veggies.  Rinse the bottle out with a little water and pour into crock pot.  Cook on low for 6-7 hours or until veggies are tender. 

Breakfast Sausage

1 lb ground pork
2 tsp rubbed sage
1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp marjoram
1 tsp brown sugar
1/8 tsp garlic
1 tsp red pepper flakes (or less if you don't want too much heat)


Mix everything together in a bowl until well combined.  
Use as you would as if it was commercially prepared (unless you fry it up to crumble then you might want to add a little veggie oil because this has little fat content)
