Agnes Farr: A few readers share their recipes

This week I have a couple of different recipes from readers

to share. Hope you enjoy … I’ll be seeing you around … Agnes

Corned Beef, Egg, & Cheese English Muffin

One of the things that I love about weekends is … the luxury to enjoy sinful

breakfasts. As if my weekday breakfasts aren’t sinful enough … Sausage egg

McMuffin, hash brown and coffee. Have your readers they this  “Recipe” … DD

Slice an English muffin into two, slather generously with butter … and place

it butter side down on a non-stick pan, let it brown a little, take ’em off the

pan, set aside … and then, let’s crank it up a notch. Slather mayo and

ketchup generously on both sides. I used some leftover corned beef instead

which is equally as unhealthy as sausage. I love corned beef the best when it’s

fried with a bit of oil until you get some of crispy bits … yum! After

frying, dump a generous amount of it on the buttered, mayoed, ketchuped muffin.

Then fry an egg … I like mine over easy with some crispy white bits. So heat

up quite a bit of oil (I’ve already mentioned that this is gonna be unhealthy

and sinful, right? D) … crack the egg, let some parts get crispy, and flip.

Almost immediately, transfer the egg on the other side of the muffin, we want

runny egg yolk, my friend  Top the egg up with a slice of cheddar cheese … and the rest … is

history. Don’t want to drip egg all over yourself so, handle with care, folks!

 

We do this recipe often. Everyone is assigned to bring an

item, prepared but not cooked. This is how we do it. The old and young kids

alike love it. DD

Trash Can Supper

Have a clean trash can that has never been used for trash.

You can build a fire in the mist of some concrete blocks with an old rack on

them or put the rack on the fish cooker and set the trash can on it. Put

everything in the can as outlined.

Enough ears of corn, cleaned, to cover the bottom by

standing up on large ends. We use a large can for 25 – 30 people.

1 peck medium size new potatoes, scrubbed

3 pounds carrots, scrubbed

3 heads cabbage, quartered (leaving the core)

2 pound green beans (Place on a large sheet of heavy duty

foil and add seasonings. Seal and place on top of vegetables.

2 quarts hot water

Cover with lid and place on fire. Once it starts steaming,

cook over medium heat for one hour. Add smoked sausage or hot dogs and cook for

another hour. We serve this with beer bread and/or cornbread.

Sometimes we core apples, remove the top half of the peeling

and place on a sheet of heavy duty foil, add sugar, butter, cinnamon, raisins

and seal with a twist on top. The apples are placed on a rack on top of the pot

a cooked by steam. Everything except the bread is in this one pot. We use a

large flower pot roller to move it from the patio into the house, or everything

can be removed to serving platters and brought inside. Enjoy.

 

Chicken Pudding

(I guess you could substitute turkey)

Put 3 to 4 cups of cooked, deboned chicken in the bottom of

a buttered casserole. Season to taste. Make a thin batter out of the following:

2 beaten eggs, 2 cups flour, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Beat together and

beat in enough milk to make a thin batter. Pour batter over the chicken and

bake. Serve with gravy made from the chicken broth.

 

Scalloped Tomatoes

½ cup herb stuffing mix

½ teaspoon garlic salt

¼ teaspoon oregano

2 teaspoon sugar

1 quart tomatoes (fresh or canned)

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

1 large onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoon butter

Grease 10 x 6 x 1 ½ pan. Mix tomatoes, seasoning and sugar.

Put half of tomatoes in pan. Top with the stuffing, onions and ½ cup of the

cheese. Spread remaining tomatoes and top with the remaining cheese. Dot

tomatoes with butter. Bake 30 minutes at 325 degrees.

 

Onion Patties

¾ cup plain flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon corn meal

1 tablespoon sugar

2 and 1/3 cups chopped onions

2/3 cup milk

Mix all together and shape into patties. Deep fry and serve

hot.  

         

 

Cinnamon Applesauce Ornaments

From me to you!

Mix 1 cup applesauce and 12 ounces cinnamon into shapes or

flatten and cut with cookie cutter. Make a small hole in each to insert hanger.

Let dry several days and put in oven at 175 degrees for 30 minutes. Attach

hanger. These ornaments smell so good. I like to make gingerbread men. (This is

a good thing for children of all ages to make.)

Recipe for Laughter: Christmas Stamps

After waiting in line in the post office for her turn to purchase stamps for

Christmas cards, a young lady approaches the clerk and orders 50 Christmas

stamps. The clerk asks, “What denomination?” She looks upward to

heaven and exclaims, “God help us. Has it come to this? Give me six

Catholic, nine Presbyterian, 10 Lutheran, six Methodists and 19 Baptists.”

When you stop laughing, take a moment and get those cards

and packages in the mail.
