Chili with the hot dogs already in it, simple and very easy to eat. Bun free! The sodium count is lower if you use low sodium broth.
We used to purchase the bagged stew, and the store stopped carrying it! As it was one of our go-to meals, we had to learn how to make it. You could easily use less potatoes and throw in more veggies to lower the calorie count.
This is an easy, melt-in-your-mouth recipe to feed a crowd that cooks overnight so it's ready the next day. Great for holidays when you need the oven to make the rest of the meal, and want the main course out of the way. Or cooked on the weekend for a whole weeks worth of meals.
I started with an 11.3 pound, bone-in shank ham which I didn't realize when I bought it needed to be cooked. After cooking and deboning and removing a little fat, I had 7.5 lbs of meat.
This was a Cook's trimmed ham, meaning most of the fat was removed, and the rest cooked off in the oven.
Defat the broth and use 1 cup of it to make the glaze. Use the rest with the bones to make beans or soup.
To cut some fat from the nutritional information, prepare a day ahead, strain out the vegetables and meat from the broth and chill overnight. Skim the layer of fat after it solidifies, then reheat and add back the ingredients.
This is always a hit at parties or for tailgating. Take it right in the crockpot and leave it on the warm setting at the buffet. Don't expect to take home leftovers, no matter how much you make:)
This is a stocking up recipe that freezes well. To make it more like a soup and stretch it even further, you can add, in the last hour of cooking, frozen corn, peas, lima beans, spinach, --this is a really good way to hide spinach from picky eaters--okra, canned tomatoes or other favorite vegetable.
Similar to frozen salisbury steak bought ready made at the store. From Hillbilly Housewife.

Switch to fresh tomatoes and low-sodium broth to make a lower-sodium recipe.
Not sure where I got this - Just found it on my computer and tried it - It was a BIG hit with the family...
