Can a Mix N' Chop be used for more than just mashing?

[JaimeQ]

I love it when we make tacos too!! It gets the meat nice and fine and it fits down in the shell much better.

Michigan SauceFirst, I do not know why it is called Michigan Sauce but here is the recipe.

1 1/2 pounds of hamburg
1 sm finely chopped onion
1 small can tomato paste

Use tomato paste can to measure:
1 1/c cans of ketchup
3/4 can water

1 tbsp yellow prepared mustard
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Frank's hot sauce
1 package McCormick Chilli seasoning mix (original)

Place all ingredients in sauce pan, do not brown hamburg first. Mix well. Cook on low heat simmer 2-3 hours. Use mix and chop to stir often.

If you make this let me know what you think.

 

[JaimeQ]

what is the measurement for the ketchup?

 

[minersmix]

Use the empty tomato paste can
1 1/2 cans ketchup

That sounds like a spicy sloppy joe. I will have to try it out.

I love all the ideas for the MNC. I use it to shred my boiled chicken and pork.

That's what I thought, it sounds like a sloppy joe.

No, it is not soupy or not that spicy. It is more like a beanless chilli.

another couple of usespress onto Peanut Butter cookie before baking rather than a fork.

Also, when baking sugar cookies, when they come out of oven, put in food coloring and put on cookie for star shape.

My sister said works great to do walnuts

Neice uses it to make brownie mix and it also "scraps" bowl as you empty bowl.

HTH

I used mine last night to make hamburger gravy for The Furry Guy. It's great because the hamburger is all crumbly, and I can use the same tool to stir the gravy.

I use my mix-n-chop when I am making chicken salad. After you have cooked your chicken breasts and they have cooled. Take your mix-n-chop to chop your chicken into bite size pieces. It really works nicely!

 

[PCGINA]

WOW!! Thanks for all of these great ideas for the MNC!!!

My mother-in-law came up with this one. When I do the clubhouse chicken squares at a show, I drain the can of chicken using the can strainer then use the mix-n-chop to separate the chicken into smaller parts. I don't have to touch the chicken and crumble it up this way. It also works well with tuna so that smell doesn't stay on your hands.

We had blackberry bushes in the back yard growing up. I remember picking them and mom making lots of stuff. We had a pretty nice garden as well, which I would love to have in my yard now. Wonder if I could grow grapes and blackberries as well?!?!?!

I would love to give some of the blackberries we having growing on our property. We have 5 acres and the blackberries are wild and grow EVERYWHERE. Except where the goats and pigs have eaten them down.

Love the great additional ideas for the Mix 'N Chop. I use mine all the time to make banana bread. The kiddos love to help.

break up the hash brown patties for the new brunch squares!

 

[salthechef]

Since you mentioned crackers, has anyone tried it on softer nuts, like pecans? My grandma doesn't like the food chopper, cuz they are too small, and can't find anything that will chop them the right size.

 

[salthechef]

FYI, I did try pecans with the nuts, and it works wonderfully! My grandma said it is better than anything she has, and faster than chopping with the knife! :-D

One night my family wanted spaghetti and all I had in the pantry was stewed tomatoes, no tomato sauce. I dumped the stewed tomatoes in the pan, added our Italian seasoning, started using the mix and chop and had awesome slightly chunky tomato sauce in no time. Family loved it. Also, I had a customer who said they use it for making refried beans.

One of my hostesses uses her Mix & Chop to push fruit down in her blender when making smoothies.

 

[tpchefrebecca]

So do we have a file compiled of the uses for the Mix N' Chop? I would like to add it to my files if possible.

 

[pc_cindy]

I had a host use hers at her show to break up a bucket of frozen slushies.

 

[mommyhugz1978]

I used it tonight to mash potatoes !!!
