I have only met one person that doesn't like this casserole. <br />
<br />
1lb ground beef, turkey or even deer would work<br />
1 can cream of mushroom soup<br />
1 can tomato soup<br />
1 small can diced green chilies<br />
1 dz corn tortillas, cut or torn into small pieces<br />
shredded cheese( I use cheddar)<br />
<br />
Mix first 5 ingredients together, put in pam'd 8x8 pan. Put Shredded cheese on top. <br />
<br />
Bake at 350* for about a half hour, till edges are bubbly and cheese is melted. <br />
<br />

2 lbs ground beef<br />
2/3 roll of crushed milk crackers (I use Royal Crackers, a purple box)<span class="text_exposed_hide">... <span class="text_exposed_link"><a href="" onclick="CSS.addClass($("text_expose_id_4b8d37276cb14072cccad"), "text_exposed");">See More</a></span></span><span class="text_exposed_show"><br />
Poultry seasoning (Bell's Seasonings), a few dashes<br />
1 egg<br />
salt<br />
pepper<br />
<br />
Step 2:<br />
Worcestershire sauce<br />
1 onion, sliced<br />
<br />
Mix all ingredients in step 1. Form into a firm loaf.(I use a loaf pan to do this and just remove it.) Brown loaf on all 4 sides in large, deep pan. Once browned, add water to pan until ½ of loaf is under water. Add sliced onions to water. Add Worcestershire sauce to water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer on medium/low for approximately 45 minutes. To test if done, cut loaf in half to see if it is still red.</span>Krystenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05259280694984973068noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3977964688353721065.post-60411271766272300532010-02-18T19:40:00.000-08:002010-02-18T19:40:56.857-08:00Chili-Beef-Stuffed Zucchini<div class="recipe-instructions"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6TaxRiLithc9MiCFxBbA9UyAtnjMuFzTrFhUfcJQOhCHRUwCUDBc7FMQ1dk1X12j8MRXYNeDouHJYjeuN-Qv9gjnuBa10XlHmiVLkS6s0jsXtgeuWb4MejsjeYy_nFnRTQPJnzuB1BzAB/s1600-h/baked+Zuc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6TaxRiLithc9MiCFxBbA9UyAtnjMuFzTrFhUfcJQOhCHRUwCUDBc7FMQ1dk1X12j8MRXYNeDouHJYjeuN-Qv9gjnuBa10XlHmiVLkS6s0jsXtgeuWb4MejsjeYy_nFnRTQPJnzuB1BzAB/s320/baked+Zuc.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="ingredients"> <h4>Ingredients:</h4><ul><li> 4 zucchini (about 2 pounds), halved lengthwise and seeded </li>

Thought it was about time I added it on here.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="fs5">Sugar Cookies (by Lisa Yockelson, printed in the Washington Post in 1999)<br />
(About 6 dozen cookies, using a 3-inch cookie cutter)<br />
This big-batch recipe will provide you with plenty of tender, buttery rolled cookies for cutting into fanciful shapes to bake and decorate.<br />
6 cups bleached all-purpose flour, plus additional for rolling the dough<br />
1 teaspoon baking powder<br />
1 1/4 teaspoons salt<br />
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg<br />
1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature<br />
3 cups sugar, plus additional for the surface<br />
2 large eggs<br />
4 large egg yolks<br />
1 tablespoon vanilla extract<br />
1/4 cup light (table) cream<br />
Nonstick spray oil<br />
4 large egg whites, lightly beaten, for brushing on the unbaked cookies, or substitute about 1/3 cup light (table) cream,<br />
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Set aside.<br />
In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the butter for 3 minutes. Add the sugar in 3 additions, beating for 1 minute after each addition. Add the 2 eggs and beat until combined, about 1 minute. Beat in the egg yolks and vanilla. Blend in the cream. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 4 additions, mixing until the flour is completely incorporated after each addition. The dough will be soft.<br />
Divide the dough evenly into 5 portions. Place each portion between 2 sheets of wax paper and roll to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Stack the sheets of dough on a large baking sheet, making sure that the sheets don't wrinkle. Refrigerate the dough on the sheet overnight.<br />
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper.<br />
Carefully remove the top sheet of wax paper from 1 sheet of rolled- out dough on a lightly floured surface. Carefully flip it over so that the exposed dough is on the floured surface. Remove the top sheet of wax paper. Using cookie cutters lightly coated with nonstick cooking spray, cut out as many cookies as possible. Lightly press together the scraps, reroll and chill again. Repeat with the remaining portions of dough. (If the dough softens at any time, freeze the dough on a baking sheet for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the dough firms up.) Place the cookies 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Lightly brush the tops of the cookies with the egg white or cream. If you are not planning on decorating the cookies, sprinkle with sugar.<br />
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 11 to 12 minutes, or until set and golden. Cool the cookies on the sheets for 1 minute. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Store the cookies in airtight tins.<br />

Pour egg mixture over cheese and let stand 30 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover dish and refrigerate.)<br /><br />Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake until casserole is slightly puffed in center and golden brown on edges, about 45 minutes. Cool 20 minutes.
