Baked Bacon-Wrapped Brown Sugar Smokies

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 14:38:59 -0500

I've seen other recipes for these little indulgent treats, but they cook them in a crockpot and I prefer to bake ours. Baking them in the oven allows the bacon to crisp, the liquids to be released from the Smokies, and the brown sugar to caramelize on them deliciously. It also allows to you control the fat content of them a bit more easily, as most of the bacon drippings will remain on the sheet pan after cooking. We usually make them during the holidays, but they're good for all year 'round, of course. So easy to make! -- posted by Julesong

Little Tavern Shops Hamburgers

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 12:38:43 -0500

Little Tavern Shops is a now-defunct chain of hamburger restaurants in Baltimore, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. The slogan of the chain was "Buy 'em by the bag", and its signs promised "Cold drinks * Good Coffee". The stores were quite small and could accommodate only a few seated customers, while most business was take-out. This recipe is posted in response to a HUGE forum discussion. If you wish to make larger patties, roll the meat into 1.7 ounce meatballs and cook as directed. -- posted by Molly53

Liverless Rumaki

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 16:49:57 -0500

There are many recipes for Rumaki that all call the use of chicken liver. Not everyone likes chicken livers. This version of Rumaki does not use chicken livers and is different then any Rumaki recipe that I have found. I got the recipe from my sister in law many years ago. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Old Sarge USMC -- posted by Chef #198343

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

Sausage Flowers

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 02:55:36 -0500

This is an absolute favorite of mine and is a staple at all of my Christmas parties...wouldn't quite be one without them! They have a little bit of heat, balanced by the sour cream, and the combination of crunchy edges on corners of the wonton skins with the chewiness of the portion that cups the filling makes for a wonderful sensation. It's best to make the cups upto a day ahead of time and put them in a plastic bag, but don't seal it or they could lose their crunchiness. -- posted by Coprtopd

Sweet and Sour Meatballs With Plum

I like this recipe better than the ones with grape jelly. This makes about 6-8 servings as an entree and about 12 as an appetizer. -- posted by petlover

Fortnum and Masons Authentic Scotch Eggs With Sausage and Herbs

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 17:06:45 -0500

Freshly boiled eggs are encased in a herb flavoured sausage jacket and are then deep-fried until golden and crisp, delicious! Contrary to popular belief, Scotch eggs are not Scottish, and they were actually invented by the famous London department store Fortnum & Mason in 1738, where they are still available today. The word "Scotch" is an old English word meaning to chop or mince, and obviously, the eggs are covered with chopped or minced pork sausage meat, hence the name Scotch Eggs. They are traditional British picnic food but I also like to serve them as a light lunch or snack, and they make a wonderful addition to the buffet table. These tasty traditional English specialities have had bad press over the years; mainly down to commercial mass production, but if you make them at home with fresh, free-range eggs and the best quality sausage meat, they will taste divine, and they will always be the stars of the picnic hamper or family lunch table! PLEASE use high quality sausage meat or sausages, with at least 70% meat content.Historical Note: Founded in 1707, Fortnum & Mason (F&M) stocks "food fit for a queen". The 300-year-old British department store, famous for its jams, teas, and sauces, provides the Queen with her annual supply of Christmas puddings and holds the "Royal Warrant. -- posted by French Tart

Thee beautiful little curry puffs can be served individually as an entree, or served with salad as a main meal. If you are looking for a healthy option, they can be baked also. The beauty of this dish is you can not only freeze the mixture, but you and make up as many curry puffs as you like and freeze them until needed. This makes it a great recipe for a mid-week meal. -- posted by tash31

Traditional Potted Spiced Ham for Tea Time by Mrs Beeton

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:04:02 -0500

An old-fashioned treat, this is a fabulous way to use up left over ham, although I have also put some freshly cooked ham aside especially for this when I have baked a ham for Christmas, Easter or another special occasion. The ham is finely minced and mixed through with old-fashioned spices and butter, and it keeps for several weeks in a cool place. Another name for this recipe is Potted Meat, and it was VERY popular in Victorian times, although recipes for potted meats (preserved under butter) goes back even further than that historically. Wonderful in sandwiches for the teatime table or for picnics, lunch boxes and festive buffets. This is an adapted recipe from Mrs Beetons Book of Household Management, where she suggests that this is a nice addition for the Breakfast or Luncheon table. Serve with sliced breads of all types, oatcakes, toast, bread rolls, and crackers or with salad, chutneys, mustard and pickles. NB: Use a good cooked ham on the bone for this recipe: the sort carved by hand at the deli and old-fashioned butchers. So called "cooking time" is chill time. -- posted by French Tart

Chipotle Lime Wings

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 00:50:04 -0500

A smoky wing with medium heat. This way of preparing the wings is lower fat than deep fried and not as messy if you marinade them overnight and don't coat them in sauce again before serving. Also, if you are not able to find Tabasco Chipotle you can use any hot sauce with a little liquid smoke added. Toss them in a crock pot after they bake and they get extra tender and flavorful. -- posted by Scott Johnson

a great way to enjoy chicken wings without the mess. great served with celery or tortilla chips for dipping.

If you don't want to use those then separate into small batches in oven safe dishes so you can keep the dip warm.

This recipe is from my late grandmother, who passed it down to my mother. And since my mother eyes the ingredients, I never quite got the exact amounts that would make it as perfect as my mother's. Used to make this all the time in college in large batches, reheating it in a toaster oven and serving it with a salad or white rice for a quick dinner during the week. Should've written down the amounts I had put in, but never got around to it - please post the amounts that work for you. I used to add MSG (labeled Accent), but stopped using it - didn't see a difference in taste. Time includes marinading time -- posted by Fluffkins
