CAMPBELL'S® SWISS VEGETABLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Stir soup, sour cream, black pepper, vegetables, 2/3 cup onions and 1/4 cup cheese in 2-quart casserole. Cover casserole.
• Bake at 350 degrees F 40 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir vegetable mixture.
• Top with remaining onions and cheese. Bake 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat combine potatoes, green beans, thyme, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and 3/4 cup of broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
• In a small bowl blend remaining broth and cornstarch. Stir in parsley; add to potato mixture. Cook, stirring, until bubbly and thickened.

GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water and set aside.
• Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook until bright green and tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer the green beans to the ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain the beans and add them to a mixing bowl.
• Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the mushrooms, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the cheese and stir to melt. Turn the heat off and add the mixture to the bowl with the green beans. Toss until everything is creamy and thoroughly combined. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Toss to combine. Top with the fried onions. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate until ready to serve.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN & STUFFING DINNER

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken and pat it dry. Rub the entire chicken with olive oil, then generously sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place the dry stuffing mix in a bowl and add the chicken stock. Stir to mix and combine well. Place the stuffing inside the chicken cavity.
• Line the bottom of the slow cooker with the halved potatoes (try and get one single layer of potatoes for even cooking) and the onion slices. If desired, add in the crushed garlic for a deeper flavor. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the chicken on top of the potatoes and onions.
• Place the lid on the slow cooker and set on Low for 8 - 9 hours, or on High for 4 - 5 hours, until the chicken is completely cooked through and the potatoes are fork-tender.
• Remove the chicken from the slow cooker at the end of cooking time, cover with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before removing stuffing and placing in another bowl. Carve chicken as you normally would.
• Pro tip: Don't want to cook a whole chicken? You don't have to! This same dinner can be made by placing chicken breasts on top of the potatoes and onions, and placing the stuffing on top of the chicken. Remember to reduce the cooking time by about half.
• Pro tip: Placing the chicken upside down (breast-side down) on top of the potatoes causes many of the juices from the legs to run down into the breasts while the chicken is cooking. This is a French technique that I've tried in the oven, but it works so much better in the slow cooker!

RICOTTA GNUDI AND BUTTER SAUCE WITH ENGLISH PEAS AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• For the gnudi: Thoroughly combine the cheeses, yolks, flour, breadcrumbs and salt in large bowl. Form the mixture into 15-gram (1/2-ounce) balls. Fill a shallow dish with a 1/2-inch of semolina flour. Roll the balls in the semolina flour until they are lightly coated. Put the balls on top of the bed of semolina flour in the dish. Allow the balls to dry in the refrigerator, uncovered, overnight.
• For the butter sauce: Combine the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of the milk in a small bowl. Bring the remaining milk to a boil in a medium pot. Add the cornstarch slurry and whisk together until the milk thickens, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium and slowly whisk in the cubed butter until combined. Remove from the heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer. Add the truffles, if using, and the salt.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat a saute pan over medium heat and coat the bottom of the pan with olive oil. Add the mushrooms, a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Then add the peas and a pinch of salt and cook until bright green. Add a little bit of the boiling water to stop the cooking process and remove from the heat.
• Add the gnudi to the water. Add some of the butter sauce (about two ladles full) to the mushrooms and peas. Once the gnudi float, remove them with a slotted spoon, draining them well, and add them to the butter sauce. Baste the gnudi with the sauce. Transfer the pasta to serving dishes and top with the Parmesan and more truffles, if using.
