The Christmas Morning Casserole – A Make Ahead Recipe

Recipe submitted by Eileen Brown – Derby KS

Ingredients
6 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 lb. pork sausage, browned and drained.
1 cup biscuit baking mix
2 cups milk
1 tsp oregano

Directions:
1 – Brown the sausage and drain.
2 – Mix together all ingredients.
3 – Pour into a 13 x 9 x 2 casserole dish.
4 – Cover and refrigerate overnight.
5 – Bake uncovered in preheated 350 oven.
6 – Bake about one hour.

Notes:

We like to have hash browns or American country
fries with this breakfast casserole and there is
plenty of time to do this while the casserole is in the
oven. Serves about 10 or 6-8 if you overeat. 😉
An easy thing to do with this yummy recipe.

The Prairie Pak often comes with pork sausage or
turkey sausage and the turkey sausage is also
perfect in this recipe. Prairieland Food discount
food packages cover a lot of area with this type of dish,
at our home.

Enjoy your Christmas morning more by preparing ahead!

Christmas Eve Salad #plfrecipe

Christmas Eve Salad

Recipe Submitted by Eileen Brown – Derby KS

I’m not sure where this recipe came from.  I’ve had it among my favorites for so long but with no notes as to whom might have passed it along.  A variation does say you can substitute jicama for the apples but we always have plenty of apples so apples have always been used.

Ingredients
1 head romaine lettuce, torn in bite-size pieces (about 6 cups)
1 (13 1/4 oz) can pineapple chunks, chilled.
2 unpared apples cored and sliced.
2 bananas, sliced.
2 oranges, peeled and sectioned.
1 (8 oz can) whole beets, chilled, drained and sliced.
3/4 cup coarsely chopped peanuts.
Seeds from one pomegrante.
1/2 cup salad or olive oil.
3 Tblsp. Lime juice or vinegar. (I sometimes use wine vinegar).
1/2 tsp. sugar. (large pinch)
1/4 tsp. salt. (small pinch)

Directions
1 – Use a shallow but large salad bowl.
2 – Place romaine in salad bowl.
2 – Drain pineapple but reserve juice.
3 – Dip apple and banana slices (as you go) in pineapple juice to
prevent darkening.
4 – Place pineapple chunks, apple, banana, orange and beet slices
on top of romain.
5 – Sprinkle with peanuts and pomegranate seeds.
6 – Shake together oil, lime juice (or vinegar), sugar and salt.
7 – Pour over salad and toss gently.

Recipe Notes:
– I have also substituted the fresh oranges with canned, drained
mandarin oranges.
– Another substitution is sweetener for sugar, which makes this
a good diabetic recipe.
– I have added red onion rings to this and thought that quite a
good addition. Little kids don’t much like the onions though.
– The suggested substitution of jicama leads me to believe this may
be a Mexican recipe of origin. At any rate it is a nice refreshing
fruit and vegetable salad that does not include whipped topping.

Enjoy!

— To make this even more convenient, we receive apples,
oranges and sometimes bananas in our Prairie Paks from
the Prairieland Food discount food program. Nice 🙂

Eileen’s Fried Cabbage #plfrecipe

Eileen’s Fried Cabbage

Eileen B. – Derby KS

Ingredients:
1 Head Cabbage
5 slices bacon
Salt and Pepper to taste.

Directions:
• Fry the five pieces of bacon in a deep frying pan or dutch
	oven on top of the stove. You need a deep pan, with a lid.
• Core and chop the head of cabbage.
• Your bacon may be crispy by now - remove from pan
	and drain.
• Turn the heat down to simmer or just above.
• Put all the cabbage in the pot and toss to spread the
	bacon fat around a bit.
• Put the lid on for 10 minutes.
• About every 10 to 15 minutes Toss the cabbage again, but
	put the lid back on between tossing sessions.
• It takes about 45 minutes to cook cabbage to fork tender.
• Now break up the bacon over the top, put the lid back on
	and cook another 5 to 10 minutes.
• Your cabbage at this point will have cooked down about
	1/4 to 1/3 in volume.  This is OK.
• Some of your cabbage may be a little browned, this is OK too.

For all the steps above this is a very easy and simple way to
cook cabbage as a lovely side dish.  All the vitamins stay in
where as with boiling or steaming, they flush into the water.

Eileen’s Apple Salad

Recipe Submitted by Eileen B. – Derby, KS

3 to 6 Apples, washed, quartered, cored and chopped.
2 cups Mini Marshmallows
1/2 to 1 cup Walnuts, chopped.
1/2 to 1 cup Real Mayonnaise
(Do NOT use Miracle Whip as this will dramatically change the taste!)

01 - Dump all together in a large bowl and toss-coat dry ingredients well.
02 - Variation: add 1/2 to 1 cup chopped celery for a little extra crunch.
03 - Tastes best if refrigerated overnight to allow flavors to mingle. 

Notes:
Tart and crisp apples are best for this recipe.
If you use more apples, you will need to increase other ingredients.

We receive apples almost every month in our Prairie Pak and Fruit and
Veggie Discount Food Packages.  This recipe helps use those apples for
more than just dipping in caramel (which we do here, a LOT!)

Strawberries and Cream #foodbuddyks

Fruit, Recipes, Recipes - Derby KS 10/18/2011 1 Comment

Strawberries and Cream

Eileen Brown – Derby KS

It is said that children are responsible for naming the strawberry. 
After picking the fruit, children strung them on tall grass straws 
and sold them "by the straw" or as "straws of berries."

Ingredients:

1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk (Eagle Brand)
1 1/2 cups Cold Water
1 pkg. Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix (4 serving size).
2 cups Whipping Cream
1 pkg. Frozen Pound Cake, thawed (Sara Lee)
1 cup Strawberry Jam
4 cups Strawberries (fresh is best but frozen will do)

Directions: 

01 - In a large bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk and water. 
Mix with spoon. Add pudding mix; Beat well with mixer.  
Chill until set.

02 - Whip whipping cream until stiff. Chill.

03 - Clean and slice strawberries. Refrigerate.

04 - Cube pound cake into 1/2 inch squares. Refrigerate.

05 - Fold together: the pudding mixture and the whipped 
whipping cream.

06 - Layer in a 4 quart clear bowl reserving enough strawberries 
and cake to make a pretty design on top:

~~~ 1  cup of the combined mixture.
~~~ Top that with 1/3 of the pound cake cubes.
~~~ Teaspoon on and spread 1/3 of the strawberry jam.
~~~ Repeat layering, end with pudding on top.
~~~ Arrange reserved strawberries and cake in a pretty pattern.

07 - Chill at least 4 hours or overnight (overnight for best flavor)

Notes:  This is a beautiful dish when served in a clear fancy deep bowl.
Serves a bunch of people.  Contains about a gazillion calories, 
but well worth it!  Simply Yummy.

Bon Appetite!
