Baked Beans

-
I love my pressure cooker, especially for beans.  These are super easy and versatile.  I hope to never buy canned again!


INGREDIENTS
1 pound dried northern beans
8 strips of bacon, uncooked, chopped
1 small onion, diced
2 ½ cups vegetable stock
½ cup molasses
½ cup ketchup
¼ cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons spicy brown
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Place beans in pot and cover with water, at least one inch above beans.  Set to 16 minutes on manual mode.  Let pressure release naturally.  Do not salt these.  It will make the skins tough.  When done, remove beans and rinse.  Set aside.
Using the same setting, cook chopped bacon and onions until translucent. Add broth.
You could do this in a separate pan but then you wouldn't get that extra flavor from the brown bits left in the bottom after cooking the bacon. You also have one less dish to wash.
Add molasses, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to the onions in the pot and stir to combine. Add beans.  Set a pressure cooker to 45 minutes on manual setting.
Another option is to add browned ground meat such as pork or sausage.

Swiss Chicken Casserole

This was an  easy & tasty casserole, My girls also loved it, which makes it a win win!  I served it with green beans and buttermilk biscuits, which was a great combination.  I have to admit that I forgot to buy the cream of chicken so I had to use the cream of mushroom that I had in the pantry.  I think it was still great!  6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 6 slices Swiss cheese 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup 1/4 cup milk 2 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix          (Pepperidge Farm Herb Blend is good) 1/4 cup butter Preheat oven to 350.  Arrange chicken in 12x8x2 baking dish.  Top with Swiss cheese slices.  Combine soup and milk and stir well.  Spoon mixture over chicken and sprinkle with stuffing mix.  Drizzle butter or margarine over crumbs.  Bake for 50 minutes and enjoy!

Let me start by saying, I ordered this cleaner off of Amazon, as a refurbished product. When I received it, it was in great condition and was working appropriately.

There is a washable cloth that is attached to the base by Velcro. The unit comes with four of these cloths, two for floors, two for carpets. To use: Pour water into the tank which is closed by a screw cap. No additives are needed as the steam will do the cleaning. To warm the water, simply plug in the unit. While warming, you must prepare your floors by vacuuming or sweeping. The green light will come on when the water is hot enough to start yo...
