mrsmonty, thanks for all your work!  At first glance the Beef Burgundy looks good.  Will look more closely to see if vegetables would work in one...............another short cut, you know.

You are welcome! when I can help out, I always do! I know that when and if I put out a request, I am always pleased with the responses I get. Good luck!

Sooo????? what did you make and how did it go? I have seen some of those campers that winter in Texas...some of them are as big as my house! How many people? Which recipe did you use? how was it?
