|
|
|
1 can (170g) tuna (do not drain) |
|
1/2 cup parmesan cheese |
Cook noodles until almost done. Mix tuna (with juice), soup, milk, cheese, peas, and salt together. Pour over noodles and mix. Pour into casserole dish and bake at 300° F. for 20 - 30 minutes.
Meatballs/Meatloaf
This is a recipe that varies depending on what leftovers I have at the time. The amounts are approximate.
1 pound ground meat (my kids prefer pork but you can use any kind)
1 egg
1/2 cup of any of the following or combination of: ketchup, tomato or cream soup, milk, BBQ sauce.
Seasoning to taste - salt, pepper, taco seasoning, or anything else you'd like to try.
3/4 cup vegetables (puree them in a food processor they can be raw, cooked, canned, frozen, whatever) carrots, onions, celery, mushrooms, peppers etc.
1/2 - 1 cup crumbs to make the mixture a good consistency to handle - bread or cracker crumbs, oatmeal (run through a food processor) or my favorite - corn meal. When I use corn meal I soak it in the soup etc for a while so it doesn't make the meatballs gritty.
Roll into balls and bake at 325° F. for 30 minutes or more depending on how big they are.
|
1 pound ground beef |
|
2 cups grated cheddar cheese |
Brown ground beef, add tomato soup, taco seasoning, and beans. Simmer for 20-30
minutes. Spread evenly over tortillas and sprinkle with cheese. Fold ends in
slightly, roll up and then cut in half. Serve immediately or reheat in microwave
as needed. I like lettuce and sour cream in mine but they don't reheat well this
way. Instead I serve sour cream, salsa and ketchup for dipping.
Mix:
1 kg bag of hashbrowns (not the shredded ones)
1 can cream of chicken soup
500 ml sour cream
1 cup grated cheddar
1 grated or finely chopped onion
salt & pepper (You really don't have to add much salt to these ingredients)
Pack into a greased 13 x 9 pan. Top with a bag of crushed potato chips. Bake 350 for 25 to 30 minutes. Can be frozen cooked or uncooked (add extra time to baking)
Variations:
Substitute more grated cheese for the crushed potato chips on top to reduce the salt. You can even just sprinkle with some paprika if you want.
Use any creamed soup you like -- works with low fat soup & sour cream
12 Slices bologna
4 Eggs
2 tbsp Milk
1/2 cup Finely chopped onion, mushrooms or other vegetable
1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar cheese
Cook slices of the bologna in a skillet until the center puffs up, about 1 minute. Put bologna cups in lightly greased muffin cups. In a small bowl, beat together eggs and milk. Stir in the chopped veggies. Pour egg mixture into bologna cups. Bake, uncovered, in a (375F) oven for 15 to 17 minutes or until eggs are set. Sprinkle with the cheese. Bake for a couple minutes longer, until cheese melts.
1 tbsp vegetable oil

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken and chili powder, cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add chicken soup, water and soup mix. Heat to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 10 minutes. Add beans and tomatoes and heat through. Serve and sprinkle with cheese. Serves 6 |
1 cup cooked rice
1 can kidney beans, drained & rinsed
1 cup corn kernels
3/4 cup prepared salsa
10 large flour tortillas, warmed
1 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
|
Directions |
|
In a non-stick pan over medium heat, cook rice, beans, corn and salsa, stirring, until hot. Divide evenly among tortillas. Sprinkle with cheese and roll up. Serves 10 |
|
2 Large eggs |
|
12oz Canned Kernel corn, drained |
Beat the eggs and seasoning salt together in the medium bowl. Add the flour and baking powder. Whisk until smooth. Add corn and cheese and stir to mix. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat until hot. Drop batter by tablespoonful into the frying pan. Cook until golden. Turn the corn cakes over to cook other side. Makes about twelve 3 inch corn cakes.
|
2 cups Flour ½ tsp Salt ¼ tsp Granulated Sugar ½ tsp Basil 1 pkg Yeast 1 ½ Tbsp Olive Oil |
1 cup Hot Water 1/2 cup Flour (approximately) 2/3 cup Pepperoni, chopped
2 Tbsp margarine, melted 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder |
Mix first five ingredients together in a bowl. Pour in the olive oil and hot water and stir together until the flour is combined. Work in the second amount of flour until no longer sticky. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Knead for about five minutes, adding more flour as needed and a bit of the chopped pepperoni as you do, until all the pepperoni is mixed into the dough. Invert the bowl over the dough, and let rest for about ten minutes. Roll the dough out to about ½ inch thick. Using a knife, cut rows about one inch wide and then crosswise into five inch sticks. Lay the sticks on a baking sheet about two inches apart. Cover and let rise for about 30 minutes.
Combine the melted margarine and garlic powder in a cup. Brush the sticks with the margarine mixture. Bake in a 375 F oven for 20 minutes. Makes 18 – 20 sticks.
|
1/2 cup margarine |
|
1 tsp baking soda |
Cream margarine and sugar together. Beat in eggs. Mix in mashed bananas. Mix in
baking soda, baking powder, salt and flour. Stir in chocolate chips. pour into
greased loaf pan or 8 X 8 cake pan. Bake at 325° F. for about 1 hour or until
inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Tip: If you have bananas but no time to bake banana bread, remove the
peels, put bananas in a bag, and freeze them until you have the time. When
thawed, the bananas are dark a mushy - perfect for banana bread.

Cream Cheese Pastry
This pastry recipe is my favourite because it turns out well every time. It can be used for tarts or pies or wiener wraps or whatever you normally use pastry for. It stays flaky even when cold or re-heated in the oven or microwave.
8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
1 cup Butter or margarine, softened
3 cups Flour
Beat cream cheese and butter together well. Work in flour until ball is formed. Chill at least one hour.
