This is NOT a Recipe

It might be tasty, it might be an easy, quick meal. But using entirely instant foods does not count as a recipe.

"Pastry Topped Beef Stew"

Ingredients

1/2 of a 17.3-ounce package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet), thawed
1 1/2 pounds beef cube steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
Ground black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 can (18.6 ounces) Campbell's® Select™ Vegetable Medley Soup
1/2 cup Swanson® Beef Stock . . . .

ok, that one at least has several other ingredients, but this next one definitely doesn't count . . .

"Easy Broccoli Soup"
1 can cream of broccoli soup
2 cans Cheddar cheese soup
1 thick stalk broccoli
3/4 can milk
1 1/2 cans water
Salt to taste


I mean, I don't want to sound snobby or anything--I use Cream of Mushroom in my cooking just like almost everyone else (with the likely exception of my brother in law, who is a chef), but really???

To post something on the internet and label it as a recipe when it is just putting a bunch of instant foods together? Maybe I am being judgmental--but I have my doubts.
