Czech-Style Farmer Cheese, Bacon & Noodle Bake

Sat, 14 Apr 2007 14:50:01 -0400

I'm on record as loving all things Czech (a legacy from my great-uncle Emil Placek). This recipe by Grete Willinsky from her "Kochbuch Der Buchergilde" was modified slightly by me, but will likely keep my record intact. This can be used as a side dish or paired w/a salad choice for a tasty & hearty meal. *ENJOY* ... Edited to Add: I agree w/the reviewer that the layering part of the prep is not necessary & have revised this recipe accordingly. :-) -- posted by twissis

Bubble'n'squeak

Thu, 31 May 2007 11:37:09 -0400

From the AllRecipes site. I guess this was traditionally an English dish made with leftovers from Xmas dinner. Not sure this resembles the traditional dish much, but my family all like it. Pretty quick to make. I usually don't have leftover baked potatoes, so I mae the potatoes in the afternoon and let them cool. Then I halve them lengthwise, and the slice them about 1/4 inch thick, or maybe less. I've also occasionally tossed in other leftover vegetables, such as peas or carrots. I suppose you could serve with catsup or salsa or something, but we like it just as-is. I usually serve a side of cantaloupe with it. -- posted by MathMom.calif

Bacon and Tattie Pie

Not actually a pie. Originally from a parish cookbook from the 1960s, this is a great favourite in our house that I've adapted to our tastes (adding ingredients and substituting ordinary milk for evaporated milk). Any kind of bacon or gammon may be used. Apart from the sauce, measurements are approximate, as I tend to do things by eye and taste.

From Martha Stewarts show by Ron Suhanosky the very same recipe he uses at the critically acclaimed Sfoglia restaurants in NYC and Nantucket. Authentic Carbonara using the simplest of ingredients, including black pepper (thus the carbon in carbonara!), egg yolks, and parmesan cheese for the sauce no cream! So fast to make, and so good to eat!! The actual recipe uses diced guanciale (cured smoked pork cheek) in place of pancetta, but pancetta or thick-sliced bacon would work just as well. Serve with a crisp salad, crusty bread, and a glass of wine for a complete dining experience. -- posted by MamaJeeper

Dublin Coddle - Irish Sausage, Bacon, Onion and Potato Hotpot

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 00:30:17 -0500

This traditional supper dish of sausages, bacon, onions and potatoes dates back at least as far as the early eighteenth century. It seems to be more of a city dish than a rural one: it was a favourite of Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver's Travels and dean of Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin. In Dublin itself, coddle retains its reputation as a dish that can be prepared ahead of time and left in a very slow oven while the people who're going to eat it have to be out of the house for a while - making it an excellent dish for very busy people! The name of the dish is probably descended from the older word caudle, derived from a French word meaning "to boil gently, parboil, or stew". The more recent version of the verb, "coddle," is still applied to gently cooked eggs, "Coddled Eggs". Please note, the sausages used should be the best quality 100% pork sausages you can get your hands on! This recipe would also work VERY well if cooked in a crock-pot, reduce the liquid by about half if cooking the coddle this way. Serve with Guinness and Irish soda bread. Although this is an easy to prepare one pot meal and its simplicity belies its amazing taste and flavour - comfort food at its best! Sláinte. -- posted by French Tart

Heart Stopping Fried Rice

This is my hubby's recipe and tastes amazing! I must say though that the large amount of bacon was quite alarming when I first saw him make this, but our family enjoys this dish a lot. We try not to make it too frequently but it is a hard habit to break. Day old rice works best but fresh rice right out of our rice cooker has been successful many times. He was taught how to cook this style of fried rice while in Hawaii. -- posted by Slatts

Butter Me Up! Baked Butter Bean, Bacon and Thyme Cassoulet

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 02:21:32 -0400

A delicious combination of butter beans baked au gratin with crisp bacon, onions and thyme - all bound in a tomato, crème fraiche and wine sauce! This should also be known as Fragrant Savoury Room Scenter - as the smell as this cooks is divine!! This recipe is real European fusion cuisine - the cassoulet idea from France, with the parmesan and wine sauce from Italy, and the crispy smoked bacon rashers from England. Serve this as a main meal for supper or lunch with salad and crusty bread, or as an accompaniment for sausages, stews, casseroles or roast meats........the bacon can be left out if you are serving it as an accompaniment. NB: This recipe was born when I tried to follow a recipe posted here on Zaar, Recipe #263905 - posted by Lindsey and originally a Nigel Slater recipe; I had no haricot beans, but I did have butter beans and lots of other bits and bobs to use up! I LOVE Lindsey's recipe - but feel that this recipe is different enough to warrant posting it - so, thanks to Linds and Nigel for the original idea! Preparation time includes cooking the bacon and the onion. -- posted by French Tart

Low-Carb Chicken and Bacon Casserole

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 04:24:29 -0400

I made it the first time because I was craving something that was sort of like a chicken cordon blue, but with bacon, broccoli and provolone, since that's what I had in the fridge! I also wanted it to be a casserole so my wife could make it when she got home from. So I made it in the morning, put it in a baking dish in the fridge and they cooked it up when they got home. If you're not a big fan of mustard, certainly reduce it, or omit it altogether, it should still be just as good. -- posted by kendiggy

Tartiflette - Alpine Melted Cheese, Bacon and Potato Gratin

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 21:10:12 -0400

Fast becoming a classic, Tartiflette is the perfect palliative supper dish for chilly autumn and winter evenings. This delicious, rich and hearty dish hails from the Alpine Haute Savoie region of France. For authenticity's sake, try to get hold of a whole Reblochon cheese. Reminiscent of Camembert or Brie in flavour, texture and shape, Reblochon has the perfect melting quality for Tartiflette. In addition, as this dish can be prepared a day or so ahead, it could make the ultimate Bonfire Night or Halloween centrepiece! This is a truly indulgent dish, which is best appreciated after a strenuous morning on the ski-slopes or at least a brisk winters morning walk. It is important to use a ripe Reblochon, preferably bought a few days in advance and left to reach maturity out of the fridge. For this to happen, it should be uncategorised. Of course, if you have a good cheese monger you will be able to buy one ripe and ready to eat. Serve the Tartiflette hot and straight from the gratin dish with fresh salad, crusty bread and assorted pickles. Edited to add: One reviewer made a comment that you should fry the bacon and discard the fat - it IS stated in the main instructions to do just that! Also, if your potatoes are not cooked after 15 minutes plus 25 minutes in the oven, you have not cut them thin enough - try to cut them quite thinly, as shown in all the photos. Reblochon cheese is a very STRONG cheese - do not try this recipe if you are not a lover of strong cheese! Merci:-) -- posted by French Tart

Seven Rivers Hogmanay Scotch Eggs

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 23:49:25 -0500

I'm proud of my Scottish heritage, as well as my love of food (heck- I'm a Midwesterner!) This named for the Seven Rivers Highland Society here in St. Louis, MO, and for Hogmanay- a truly Scottish celebration! Scotch Eggs were invented in London by Fortnum & Mason, a food shop, in 1851- apparently in a "Let's pretend to be Scottish" craze. Silly sasenachs! But the name stuck, as did their portability. Some call these "picnic eggs", some call them "savory eggs" (using chopped eggs) but these are a great item to bring to the office pot-luck, that will leave your co-workers raving! I first tried Scotch Eggs at the Missouri Tartan Day Festivities a few years ago. I was hooked and when I finally saw how easy they were to make I mastered them! And searched the world over for variations! And the one I liked was the one from The HandMade Scotch Egg Company in the UK. Alas, we can't get them here- but here is my version of one of theirs. If you go there, avoid the pre-packaged ones at Tesco's, Sainsbury's and the ilk as those are horrid! And when you can get them here, some are poorly made, and served with a lack-luster approach as an "appetizer". Yet, these are an easy and unique way to take a quick breakfast out the door to work and can eat this in the car with one hand and no mess! Yep- Portability! The key I learned to making any type of Scotch Egg is the quality of the sausage! If you use the low-priced, "discount" stuff, you will end up with holes and gaps in the outer sausage shell. Go for Jimmy Dean, R.B.Rice, Johnsonville, or your favourite one. My daughter loves making these, and everytime we have taken them to a pot-luck lunch, or just something different. EGG + HAM + SAUSAGE + BREAD(ing) = YUMMMM. -- posted by Chef MacKinnon

Drunken Peruano Beans With Cilantro and Bacon

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 02:18:39 -0500

This recipe is adapted from Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen. I purchased some peruano beans (also called mayocoba beans) and wasn't sure what to do with them and found this recipe online. Peruano beans can be used any time navy beans are used and are from Mexico. This is a nice and spicy pot of beans that you can throw inside of a burrito or just eat plain. I added extra jalapenos and used red onion instead of yellow (I did not change the recipe--only how I made it). I also used rum in place of tequila because it's what I had. Very tasty!

Fri, 29 May 2009 02:12:01 -0400

This is my dad's meatloaf recipe, that we've spent years "perfecting." This meatloaf is a huge crowd pleaser-- popular with anyone who loves cheese and bacon! My Dad did this meatloaf on the grill in a cast iron pan, but it's just as good in the oven! -- posted by Ashley (Chef #1078204)

Bacon and Macaroni Frittata

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:19:49 -0400

This is quick and easy to prepare- a great meal with salad in the summer or with more substantial sides in the winter. I like that it is a complete meal, without the fatty crust associated with a quiche. If you do not have Cavenders seasoning, pepper will do. I use extra lean bacon medallions so add about 1/2 tablespoon of oil to cook the bacon in. -- posted by Shuzbud

Macaroni With Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato and Pancetta Sauce

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 13:15:36 -0400

This is the weeknight version of my Recipe#368572- same great flavour but quicker and easier to make. If you use another type of pasta, you may need 2 cups as macaroni is small and dense. Also feel free to substitute bacon for the pancetta- it works just as well. -- posted by Shuzbud

Three Meat Baked Beans

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 11:54:19 -0400

Savory and sweet! Start with a couple of cans of pork and beans and add Polish sausage, ground beef and bacon to make a quick and easy inexpensive meal. A little brown sugar and molasses adds just the right amound of sweetness. I've also used dark corn syrup when I don't have molasses. -- posted by mailbelle

Creamy Potato and Bacon Soup.

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 15:55:16 -0400

Quite simple, not alot of work involved. Produces a wonderful soup full of flavour! I made this recipe a few weeks ago on a very cold day. As for preperation of the bacon, you can choose to cook it in the stock pot, leaving behind as much fat as possible for flavour, and add back after cooking of the rest of the soup, or do as I've suggested with the microwave. I suggested the microwave because making the bacon cripsy is much easier this way. -- posted by Ambien.

Curtis' Mac and Cheese

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 11:55:54 -0400

Provided by Curtis Stone at http://curtisstone.com. I know this idea is not new but it was wonderful! Ate only a small taste and was very proud of my "find"- it was luscious! Three different kinds of cheese, add a little bacon, something green - like peas and some nice spicy flavoring make for a wonderful side dish or main dish.;) I added horseradish cheddar, which is amazing and zippy! Serve it with your favorite wine or champagne, or on a cheese tray cubed - there are many uses for this cheese with a bite! :) -- posted by Manami

Terrific and Tasty Tidy Friday Pan Fry!

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:41:32 -0400

Another BRILLIANT idea from Nigel Slater and his new programme, "Simple Suppers". I love the idea of this, and can see all sorts of possibilities for what to "raid" from the fridge at the end of the week. I like his suggestions for bacon and bangers, and especially when served with crisp, green cabbage. An excellent, hearty supper dish and one that would be great for the children too - the greens being "hidden" amongst all the spuds, bacon and sausages etc! (By Nigel Slater. From Nigel Slater's Simple Suppers.) -- posted by French Tart

Basic Garlic and Oil Sauce for Perfect Pasta (Rachael Ray)

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 16:11:53 -0400

If you like pasta, you're going to LOVE this recipe from Everyday With Rachael Ray's magazine (Oct '09). She has a "secret ingredient" that adds an unexpected zest to the ordinary ingredients: anchovies. She notes in her recipe that " even if you think you don't like anchovies, you should try this recipe--it'll change your mind." Further, she points out that "once you heat anchovies, they stop tasting like fish and start tasting more like salted nuts." So: try it, you'll like it! If you must, don't say anything to the diners--and ask them if they like it, before you reveal the "secret ingredient." -- posted by Debber

Uncle 12's Scalloped Potato's

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:35:42 -0500

I was thumbing through the family cookbook and found a couple variations for scalloped potato's..I referred to both recipes and tweek'ed it a bit. This is a large recipe that I use for party's as a dish to pass, etc. But can be easily scaled down. I prefer to leave the skins on, but it's up to you, tastes great either way. -- posted by Uncle 12

Hoppin' John

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:56:43 -0500

A variation on a recipe from the good folks at Goya. I make it with both of the suggested meats -- sausage AND bacon (Goya's calls for kielbasa, but I think smoked sausage or andouille works better). The two together are spectacular. I also add a jalapeño for a little extra flavor. Oh, and if you're on a low-sodium diet, there is a no-salt version of the -- posted by Cluich

Leftover Turkey and Leek Pot Pie With Instant Gravy

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 06:03:53 -0500

This is MY much adapted version of Jamie Oliver's Turkey and Sweet Leek Pie! I made this with left over Christmas turkey this year, and it was so delicious and went down a bomb with my family and friends! A new Jamie Oliver recipe that he showed on his Family Christmas show this year and one that is so clever, as this pie makes its own gravy! I have left out adding the chestnuts and sage to the pastry as he suggests, I will try it sometime in the future though, as it sounds a brilliant idea; I have added this option at the end of the recipe however, for those who want to try it that way. Serve this with mashed potatoes and the extra gravy in a gravy boat on the side. Here is what Jamie says about this pie: "This is dead simple, completely versatile and absolutely gorgeous. Its not a pretty-boy pie; its a proper, old-school pie that everyone will be over the moon to see on the table. Im putting leftover white turkey meat to good use here, but you could also mix brown meat in there too." I agree, all of my family and friends were over the moon to see this on the post Christmas table, I bet it tastes great with chicken and ham too. NB: he original recipe makes enough for 6 to 8 people, mine is perfect for 4 very hungry people! -- posted by French Tart

Best Lima Bean Soup - Especially Wintertime!

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:51:09 -0500

Wintertime soups and stews . . . nothing better! This recipe will give you a rib-sticking flavorful soup that everyone can tweak as much as desired to satisfy his or her own tastebuds. For those not partial to the taste of lima beans, be aware that this soup barely carries a hint of lima bean flavor, as the lima beans serve merely as the staple for this wonderful dish. This recipe makes a soup as thick or thin as you'd like. -- posted by Squire David
