Final Score:

Beth is our reporter at this game.  It looks like the lime chicken didn’t play a good game tonight and had a lot of turnovers.  What exactly happened, Beth?

Beef Stroganoff:
Very easy to prepare.  I would have preferred fresh mushrooms to canned.  In my crockpot I only cooked 6 hours on low.  I used beef chuck stew meat.  The only reason I rated it 15 out of 20 on โ€œLikeliness of making it againโ€ is that I already have a delicious stroganoff recipe which includes Worcestershire sauce and catsup, and omits the cream cheese, that my family adores.  This was very good, but the tasters liked my โ€œoldโ€ recipe better.  If you donโ€™t have an easy stroganoff recipe then by all means, use this one.  I will try to tweak the crockpot recipe to incorporate the old recipe elements.  

Lime Chicken:
There were lots of steps for a crockpot dish.  Not difficult, but time consuming.  Directions were not clear regarding chicken tenders, e.g. leave whole? cut in chunks? cut in strips?  I opted for cutting tenders in half crosswise and in half lengthwise, to mimic the shape of the pepper strips. I also cut the onion into lengthwise strips, so that all shapes were similar.  The instructions for making a roux were particularly unclear.  I was shocked at how bland this recipe turned out.  The lime note all but disappeared, and I added the full amount.  The strongest flavor note was the peppers.  I also needed to add salt โ€“ and I do not like salty food!  Overall, I was very disappointed in this dish. 

The beef stroganoff will be up against the cordon bleu in the next round…
