Potatoe Soup

6 potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 onion chopped
1/2 lb bacon
1 can green beans
milk
butter

cut up bacon and brown, when brown add onions. When onions are tender add cubbed potatoes and a little salt. Add enough water to cover potatoes. When potatoes are done add the whole can of green beans. Add enough milk to make it creamy. Add about 2 tbs of butter. Make your final seasons with salt and pepper.

Meat Loaf

1/2 cup chopped green chili

Cheese Noodles

1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup sour cream
1/2 grated onion or dehydrated
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 to 3/4 tsp garlic salt
1 (6 oz package) eggs noodles cooked
1 cup grated Parmesan

Preheat oven to 350

Chalupa

3 lbs pork or beef roast (I have even used bottle elk)
2 pods of garlic chopped
1 tbs cumin
1 small can chopped green chili
1 tbs salt (or to taste)
2 cups pinto beans
2 tbs chili powder
1 tsp oregano

Fry Bread or Flat Bread (For this recipe I cooked the fry bread with little or no oil. Kind of like a thick flour tortilla)

Put all ingredients in a large pan. Except for flat bread. Cook covered over low heat and add water as needed. After about 6 hours take meat off bones and break up roast. Cook with lid off until thick, about 1 hour. Serve over flat bread and top with grated cheese, shredded lettuce, chopped green onions, diced tomatoes and hot sauce if desires.

Note--If you are using bottle meat you need to use beans that are already cooked. Mix altogether and simmer until it thickens. This mixture is also good served on Fritos in stead of Flat bread.
