A Better Marzetti

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:25:23 -0500

Had never heard of Johnny Marzetti until recently stumbling on his recipe in some newspaper website. Actually, research shows Marzetti's Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio was the source of this great comfort food dish back in the 20's (..is it still there?). Have seen ingredients of several versions of this dish here, but none with all these great ingredients. This is an ultimate comfort food that is even better at the second and third sitting. I think that the sausage and Italian cheese blend is key to success of this rendition. Dish is great with a nice green salad. -- posted by ebbtide

No, I didn't stutter! Two ways of using potatoes in this recipe. Simple and tasty. Excellent recipe for not-so-expert cooks. When the meat is done, so is the gravy. The long slow cooking makes the meat very tender. This recipe has been hanging around my house for many years. -- posted by Jezski

Easy Hearty Chili

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:14:17 -0500

This is a hearty chili without tomato chunks. If you prefer chucks of tomato in your chili use diced tomatoes instead of tomato sauce. This is just enough for a lunch for my husband, our toddler, and myself, but if we need a bit more I'd go to the 22 oz size of tomato sauce and or beans. Do not leave out the salt since the little bit really brings out the other flavors. IF you making a large pot to have left overs leave out the salt since chili always gets saltier as it stores. I started with another chili recipe I found here, but we made several modifications so I am posting it as is. -- posted by Vyrianna

Uyghur Polo (Pilaf)

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 08:53:02 -0500

Polo (a Central Asian variant on the word pilaf) is a food staple found across Central Asia, including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and parts of northwestern China. The different peoples of each region have their own takes, and their own flavors, for the recipe. This recipe is for Uyghur polo, the variant of the dish found in China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Uyghur food is on the whole closer in taste to Indian, Persian, or Mediterranean food than it is to conventional Chinese food. I credit this recipe to my Uyghur language instructor. The recipe can be a challenge to cook correctly at first, but the challenge will prove well worth the effort because it is absolutely delicious. -- posted by mpevans

Chicken Pumpkin Chili

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 08:55:40 -0500

I found a similar recipe on another site, but am really curious as to nutrition values as I make this ALL the time. Its a little different every time I make it, but i'll post the most usual recipe. I portion it out and freeze the leftovers .. makes for delish lunch or quick dinner! Can really make it your own, and honestly you cannot taste the pumpkin. ( I made this for my mom and her beau, who turns his nose up at anything healthy, and he LOVED it!) I usually use 1 lb of ground chicken breast, but today I made it with 1.5lbs of shredded chicken. I have to say, I LOVE it with the shredded chicken. would make a great sandwich! When done, top with some fat free greek yogurt and salsa! YUM! serve over brown rice or with bread! -- posted by Chef #810882

Easy Tasty Pork Roast

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:24:13 -0500

I looked and didn't find any pork roast made this way. This is the way I have made a Pork Butt Roast our entire marriage of 48 years. It is easy and oh so tender, juicy and delicious. I always serve it with mashed potatoes and make gravy from the rich drippings.

Crispy Orange Beef

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:01:17 -0500

From the book The Shun Lee Cookbook by Michael Tong "The original Sichuan recipe for this dish was for a cold, somewhat chewy appetizer of fried, dried, and shredded beef. It is a far cry from Shun Lees Crispy Orange Beef, which was introduced in 1971, and which millions of Americans have since come to love." The cooking time is a guess.

Chili Your Way

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:26:59 -0500

This recipe originally came from one of those Gooseberry Patch cookbooks but I added more ingredients and doctored this chili up quite a bit. When I first tried it, it seemed to need more than the original recipe. Here is what I came up with and usually it's a hit. I like to add a little red pepper flakes (not cayenne) cause with the pepper flakes you can play around with the temp of it. I like this on hot dogs too! This is definately one of those recipes that you can eyeball without measuring and fit to your liking! ps- I do not eat venison, but made this recipe using venison and people went even more crazy for it! guess it must taste just as good as the ground beef version? -- posted by D.

BBQ Beef

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:35:45 -0500

We recently invested in a whole brisket for the purposes of making beef jerky. Out of 14 lbs. of untrimmed meaty goodness I ended up with -- 6 pounds of meat suitable for slicing into jerky, a roughly equivalent amount of fat and scraps (which my father's dogs are currently enjoying), and a 2 lb. hunk o' brisket that was too marbled with fat to make good jerky out of. So, instead, I gave it a treatment similar to how I make pulled pork, minus the long soak in the crockpot. -- posted by Cactuscat

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:51:44 -0500

This is a great recipe that a friend of mine has been bringing to office pot-lucks for years. I just got the recipe from him and made it myself. It's a unique and pretty decadent twist on traditional enchiladas. You can adjust the amount of green chiles and jalapenos to your particular taste. This recipe carries a little bite, but is not particularly hot (even using green chiles rated HOT). To pep it up, use 3 cans of green chiles and 2 cans of jalapenos. For potlucks or freezing, double or triple this recipe. -- posted by Chef #1534395

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:41:55 -0500

This recipe was designed around two of my favorite things, beer and Stilton. I opted to use Dogfish Head's World Wide Stout as I really like the way it pairs with the cheese, but any sweet strong ale (Belgian Strong, Barleywine, etc.) would work. Likewise, the cheese is the same thing. I love the Colston Bassett Stilton, but any strong bleu would fit the bill. -- posted by Pangaea

Steamed Taiwanese Meatloaf

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:18:14 -0500

Got this recipe from my friend's mom, who makes it with pork. I haven't tried it with the pork, only turkey. Kids love this recipe - it goes well over rice. Best part is that it takes no time at all to make. On days when I don't have time, I simply mix everything together beforehand, cover it in saran wrap and throw the Corel bowl (which I can put directly into a steamer) into the fridge until 30 minutes before dinner time. To avoid using the chicken bouillon I have tried using chicken broth, but I really see no difference in taste. So I normally just make it using water and skipping the chicken bouillon altogether. -- posted by Fluffkins

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.

Who-Dat Stew (Burgundy Beef) With Cornmeal-Thyme Dumplings

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 14:37:09 -0500

Another winner from NOLA.com! If your fresh thyme made it through the freeze, heres a perfect recipe to showcase this quintessential Louisiana flavor. The recipe is from Southern Livings Glorious Grits by Susan McEwen McIntosh (Oxmoor House, $22.95). I listed the recipe as published, but I did add a 1 T additional Herbes de Provence in the cornmeal dumplings: I think it improved the taste; otherwise, this was a very good recipe, well-thymed for the SuperBowl :-) -- posted by East Wind Goddess

Honey Mustard Baked Chicken

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:24:34 -0500

I found this in a Cookshelf: Chicken cookbook, and tried it, because my hubby loves honey mustard so much. It was a hit! The sauce it actually for 8 pieces of chicken, but we liked extra drizzled on top of the chicken after it came out, so it worked out better for 4 pieces. So if you don't want extra sauce on it in the end, go for 8 pieces of chicken. -- posted by Miss JJ

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:50:17 -0500

A spicy Northern Thai/Burmese favourite featuring curry made with fresh curry paste, chicken drummettes and noodles. Extremely tasty! Don't be put off by the massive list of ingredients, it isn't that time-consuming to make, but you will need to make a special trip to an Asian grocer to be sure you have the right things! -- posted by becy

Great Hamburger Patties

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:01:09 -0500

I bet I have tried close to a hundred different variations of hamburgers. DH likes things pretty plain (as in only cheese and ketchup on his burger) so our patties have to have enough flavor to stand up (almost) on their own. I like that they've got good flavor but aren't too much to detract from the rest of the stuff on my burger (I happen to be the exact opposite of DH!). -- posted by Melanie2590

Use fresh herbs and lemon juice to give plain baked chicken fantastic flavor. This combination of flavors also works well with turkey cutlets or white fish fillets. -- posted by Chef #361734

Tri-Colour Stuffed Pepper Soup

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:24:31 -0500

Take two frustrating attempts to make a different stuffed green pepper soup and a wonderful blizzardy day and you end up with a soup that mirrors a stuffed green pepper, exactly! There's nothing like dogged determination and lots of time to get something right. I wanted a rich sweet pepper soup that had the delicate flavour of tomatoes and the ability to bite into a meat/rice mixture, just like a real stuffed pepper. This recipe is two parts: first, the Porcupine Meatballs, which can be made a day or two ahead. Then, the Tri-Colour Pepper Soup, which is a stand alone soup that I've been making, and enjoying, for years. If you enjoy a lot of meat, you might want to double the meatball recipe; for our tastes, this is perfect, with 4-5 meatballs served in each bowl. The taste of this soup is quintessential 1950's style Stuffed Green Peppers. If you can tolerate more heat, then jazz it up to your hearts content! This way, you won't find the recipe "too bland", which is how we like it---pure comfort food straight from Leave It To Beaver. Enjoy the meatballs or enjoy the pepper soup, or, enjoy them blended together for the best of all worlds with this stuffed pepper soup! Using the three colours of peppers just adds some fun and depth to it. -- posted by The_Swedish_Chef

Gramma's Chop Suey

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:53:53 -0500

Posting this for safekeeping. It's DH's grammas recipe, made for the first time last night. It's VERY americanized, and no way shape or form authentic chinese, but reminds DH of his childhood and his gramma, so I want to make it from time to time. Just wanted to keep safe for future use. -- posted by Megan's Mommy
