Pirate Stew

3/4 cup chopped onion
1 lb. ground beef
1/4 cup uncooked, long grain rice
3 cups diced raw potatoes
1 cup diced celery or carrots
2 cups canned kidney beans, drained
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1 small jar canned tomatoes - optional (I used canned tomatoes as the above recipe seemed to dry and not enough sauce)

Brown onions and ground beef. Drain. Layer ingredients in slow cooker in order given. Cover. Cook on low 6 hours or until potatoes and rice are cooked.

The Great Pumpkin Loaf

4 oz. softened cream cheese
1/4 cup margarine
3/4-1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin (no spice)
1 3/4 cup flour (I used 1 cup white and 3/4 cup whole wheat)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Combine cheese, butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Cream together well. Beat in eggs one at a time until blended. Mix in pumpkin. In another bowl combine all 7 remaining ingredients. Stir until mixed well. Pour all at once over batter. Stir just enough to moisten. Spoon into greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 60-70 minutes. Cool 10 minutes in pan. Remove to rack to finish cooling.
