French Canadian Tourtiere

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 00:36:32 -0500

There are almost as many recipes for this traditional French Canadian meat pie as there are French Canadians. I come by this one honestly as my father is of francophone heritage - his ancestors settled in Quebec back in the 1600s. Our family tradition is to serve this on Christmas Eve with beef gravy and petite pois (tiny sweet peas). -- posted by shopkeepervicki

Nana Brown's Swedish Meatballs

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:04:51 -0500

This is my husband's grandmother's recipe. I received a typed index card with this on it after we got married. My favorite part of the instructions? "After cooking make gravy." I'll try to be a bit more detailed. These are really good, I have yet to meet someone who doesn't like them. This is one of my top choices for parties and holidays. It's great on it's own as an appetizer, or over egg noodles as a main dish. -- posted by Kitsune

Super Bowl Chili

Fri, 06 Mar 2009 17:32:51 -0500

This is the recipe I make every year for the Super Bowl, for my boyfriend and two dozen or so of his closest beer-drinking, football-watching friends. The problem with trying to find a good chili recipe is that what makes a "good" chili is a personal opinion; my idea of a great chili may be very different from yours. My chili is heavy on the meat, garlic and spice; rather rich-tasting, hearty, thick, fiery, and smoky. If that sounds like something you'd enjoy, I'm also going to include plenty of advice on how to adjust it to meet your tastes. Enjoy. Notes: To cut down on fat, lean, turkey/chicken Italian sausage can be used, without affecting the flavour or texture of the final meal. Extra-lean beef can also be used. -- posted by ClarenceKitchenDiva

These "Medieval Meatballs" are a perfect buffet or party dish. The meat and sauce both have just enough spice to notice, but not so much as to be overpowering. They're also very easy to make. Note that the sauce recipe makes way more than enough for double the number of pumpes. -- posted by Wylder

When DH and I moved to his home village, the first person I made friends with was the wife of that smart guy who helped us tile the cellar. He invited us to his birthday party and I didn't do anything but talk to his wife and eat this soup - I just couldn't stop eating, it was so good! We met weekly since then, but it took years until I finally got the recipe. Great to make ahead for a party. -- posted by Mia in Germany

Kinda Sorta Tex Mex Burger

Tue, 05 May 2009 17:17:30 -0400

I threw these together tonight when getting in the mood for ZWT5. When I think 'Texas' I often think of good BBQ and beef. When I think of Mexico I tend to think of a bit of heat and fresh tomatoes and avocado. So, I threw them together to make one yummy burger. So, it may not be real tex mex but it comes out of the ideas of Texas and Mexico that float around in my,admittedly odd, brain. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Pierogi Filling

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:48:21 -0400

I grew up on Mrs. T's, never knowing what a homemade pierogi tasted like. I still have love for Mrs. T's, but there is nothing like a homemade pierogi; it's the ultimate comfort food for me. I won't bother to put up a dough recipe since there are so many good ones out there but I will advise never to trust a pierogi dough recipe that doesn't call for sour cream. So here are my recipes for potato and cheese, cabbage, and meat fillings. I try to cut a few corners since making pierogies is an all day event. They are all my own creations with the exception of the hunter's seasoning mix which I found in a traditional polish cookbook called "Polish Holiday Cookery" by Robert Strybel. You can make your own mix by using the instructions below or order the seasoning mix from an online food exporter or specialty store. -- posted by OwlMonkey

Hawaii Da Kine Burgers W/ Sweet-Chili Glaze & Goat Cheese

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:52:00 -0400

Sutter Home's 2008 Build a Better Burger ® Winner!!!! "Da kine" is a key phrase in Hawaiian Pidgin, the language of the "locals." It can mean almost anything, but commonly refers to something good or genuine, or as in this case, "the best." This burger is as local as it gets, both in taste and ingredients. The patties are tender and juicy, thanks to fresh papaya and sweet onion, and are spiced with Hawaiian Portuguese sausage, which is so popular in Hawaii that it is on every breakfast menu (including McDonald’s). The accompanying salad employs heating oil to its smoking point, a local cooking method, resulting in a dynamite burger accompaniment. To complete the Hawaiian flavoring, I added a sweet glaze (Hawaiians love sweet and savory) and was inspired by our award-winning goat dairy to create a mouth-watering ginger-infused cheese spread. Ho, dat's da kine! Pairs with Zinfandel -- posted by College Girl

Micks Juicy Tender Seasoned Hamburger

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:34:41 -0400

This recipe begins with a panade a mixture of crumbled bread and milk that keeps the beef moist and tender, even when well-done, by interfering with beef proteins that would otherwise link together and toughen the meat when cooked. This trick was explained on Americas Test Kitchen in the Season 8 Episode Drive In Specials and it works very well! -- posted by The_Mick

Scottish Lorne Sausages: Square Breakfast Sausage!

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 11:02:17 -0400

Wherever you go in Scotland you will come across Scottish Lorne Sausage, which are square and sliced. Whether you be in a Hotel, a Guest House or a Bed and Breakfast, you will be offered a Scottish cooked breakfast, that will usually include the slices of this Scottish Lorne sausage. It is nearly always on a breakfast menu, along with bacon, egg, and "tattie" (potato) scones, and many Scots will eat it in a bread roll for lunch or maybe serve it with potatoes and vegetables for dinner. This is an easy recipe - and the sausage can be frozen in slices for ease and convenience. Prep time includes chilling time. What's in a name? It is thought that the Lorne sausage, which also goes by the names of square sausage, sliced sausage or sausage slice, was an invention of the Scottish comedian Tommy Lorne who lived from 1890 and died in 1935. He was born in Kirkintilloch near Glasgow. His birth name was Hugh Gallagher Corcoran. Tommy Lorne performed in many Scottish theatres and often performed in Glasgow and Edinburgh and was much in demand for pantomime. In his own acts he would apply white make-up and wear a short kilt, a glengarry, boots that were far too big for him and a jacket that was short. He spoke in an hilarious high pitched voice. It is thought that Lorne sausages were named after Tommy Lorne because of one of his famous catchphrase: "sausages are the boys" - he loved his sausages! He often ate a sausage sandwich between his acts. It has even been suggested that not only were Lorne sausages named after Tommy Lorne and to give people an easy to make sausage sandwich, but that Tommy Lorne was the inventor of the Lorne sausage. -- posted by French Tart

Mme Benoit's Tourtière

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:06:48 -0500

Tourtière is a French Canadian meat pie which is traditionally served at Christmas. It may be made from pork, beef or a combination of meats sometimes including veal. Different regions in Quebec have their own traditional recipes. Some regions use game such as hare or duck rather than beef and pork. The pies should not have too much filling as they are just a part of the whole traditional Christmas dinner. It's usually served with tomato ketchup. This recipe is the creation of Mme Jehane Benoit, a famous Quebec cooking expert who received the Order of Canada for her contributions to Canadian cuisine. I found this recipe on recipesource.com and on blogger.com where it was posted by Lizzy Ferland. It is originally from the Canadiana Cookbook. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

Down South Lasagna

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:47:32 -0500

I learned this recipe from my friend that is a little bit older than me and from TN! You will love it if you like cottage cheese and cream cheese, the ingredients sound a little crazy but try it and i promise you will love it! Just prepare like you would regular Italian lasagna! Cook your noodles till al dente and cook spinach in microwave and drain well. -- posted by Chef #1445470

The "best" Meatloaf Ever!

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:38:39 -0500

My mother got this from my grandmother and her mother. The word meatloaf just doesn't sound appealing, but after making it for my husband for the first time, he was in love. Now everytime I make meatloaf he is on top of the world. This dish is even a child pleaser as my 4 year old daughter is begging for seconds. To make it a little healthier, I use a loaf pan with an insert so that the oil and grease from the beef drain away and the meatloaf is not sitting in it. -- posted by Pumpkin Pie's Mommy

Karen's Chili for a Party

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 00:42:30 -0500

My first recipe I'm posting here on Zaar. Please tell me if you find any mistakes. Everyone loves this chili. It makes a whole big pot of it. Add more or less of any ingredients you wish. I don't drain the beans but do so if you want. I use it in my soup warmer for parties. Im guessing on servings, I never really took a count,,,I usually do buffets and this is plenty with the other foods. This freezes well. I usually cook ahead of time, For parties freeze in 2.5 gallons ziplock and defrost the night before. Great for parties, superbowl or just OAMC put into smaller ziplock bags. This taste better the next day when all the flavors come together. I don't have the size pots so I divide it into 2 pots, 6 and 8 qt. I hope you don't have same problem lol. -- posted by Karen Guerra

Tourtiere Du Quebec (French-Canadian Meat Pie)

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 13:51:35 -0500

I grew in Quebec and always looked forward to Christmas to be able to eat meat pies. When I married & moved to the US, I took the recipe with me, no way I can spend Christmas without the smell of cooking meat pies. Luckily for me, hubby & kids are hooked. I've been making this recipe for years, delicious. -- posted by French Canadian Chef

St. Mark's Swedish Meatballs

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 17:37:48 -0500

I found this recipe years ago in the church cookbook my grandmother gave to each of her grandchildren. I have spent many Christmas's with my cousin Heidi and we have made and enjoyed these together. I can't tell you if this is an authentic Swedish meatball, just that the church has a large population with Swedish roots. -- posted by Gunnerbun

Don's Queso Dip

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 02:00:10 -0500

My dad started this recipe in our family. I grew up making it with my dad and after his death I have continued to make it. I have tweaked it to suit my family. Great to make for the Superbowl or a casual get together. All the spices are to taste. The measurements below are estimates, I rarely measure. Feel free to cut back on the Jalepeno if you don't like your food spicy. Also, instead of just plain ground beef, I have made it using left-over chili, just cut back on the spices then.Use more or less Milk to make cheese as thin/thick as you like, keep in mind the salsa will thin it out. You can use Pepper jack Velveeta if you cannot find the Mexican style. Also, leftover chili or 1/2 lb ground beef and 1/2 lb Chorizo instead of ground beef has had awesome results in my household, just cut back on seasonings. My mother likes to put this into a Crockpot to cook while she makes dinner. -- posted by Bekahbv

Best Chestnut Stuffing

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 02:37:25 -0500

I fell in love with this stuffing as a kid, if you can find jarred chestnuts you can skip the roasting step. Although you can stuff a 16-18 lb turkey with this stuffing, I recommend that you bake it separately. -- posted by Chef #588927

A1 Meatballs or Meatloaf

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 12:35:45 -0500

We make this every year for Christmas eve with riced potatoes and gravey and lefse we make ourselves. This is my own take on Betty Crocker's meatball recipe. They always turn out and go great with mashed potatoes and gravey or in spagetti. -- posted by victoriansweets_cakencandy

Includes beef, wine and parmesan. I can't believe it wasn't already amongst the almost-300 shells recipes on here - it was on a box of shell noodles sometime back in the 80's.. seriously delicious.. -- posted by steve in FL

Herbed Burger Patties

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:35:08 -0500

We make our burger patties from scratch rather than buying the pre-made supermarket variety, as they're too salty for me. This recipe ramps up the flavour by trading the salt for a variety of either fresh or dried herbs instead. These are good on turkish breadrolls or ciabatta rolls with salad of your choice. -- posted by JennyMidget

Cincinnati Style Chili

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:00:03 -0500

I have always loved Skyline Chili. I'm not from Cincinnati, but have been there. This is a combination of recipes I used to make one that has worked for me. I made it for the big superbowl party my family has every year. They loved it! I've never made it from scratch before because I didn't know what all was in the sauce. I had always used sauce packets from the grocery store. When the store was out, I had to come up with another solution. I love to cook and experiment. So...this is what I came up with. Enjoy! -- posted by earth_angel79
