Baked Beef Chowder
This hearty dish really warms up the kitchen on cold days and pleases empty tummies! I like the fact that I can combine all the ingredients, pop it into the oven and forget about it. I learned to cook in 4-H as a child. Now I'm a 4-H leader and enjoy teaching kitchen skills to others. - Sarah Carpenter, Trumansburg, New York6 ServingsPrep: 15 min. Bake: 1-1/2 hours
