Slow Cooker Pork Cacciatore
A wonderful Italian neighbor showed me how to make this slow cooker pork cacciatore recipe after I commented on how good it made the neighborhood smell when she had her windows open when she made it. This American-Italian term refers to food prepared hunter-style, with mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, various herbs, and sometimes wine. I found adding cheese gave it something special; it also made it mine.
Deluxe Corned Beef Hash
This corned beef hash is a great way to use up leftover St. Paddy's Day corned beef. I purposely cook a whole corned beef just to make this hash! I throw the carrot in for color, claiming it's the leprechaun's gold. Serve with an egg on top.
