Hey Dixie! A long time ago I used to make a dish that consisted of sliced cabbage, sliced smoked sausage, onions, parmesan cheese, I think it may have had kidney beans and a couple other ingredients in it. Everything was fried together in a big skillet. Loved the stuff! But along with losing the recipe, I've lost my memory of how to make it. Ever heard of it?

Penny, you're making me hungry, and I have no kitchen in which to cook out here on the road! Couple of suggestions for ya:

For a kicked-up corn casserole, add a can of peeled, diced green chiles. If you're really adventurous, dice a jalapeno and throw it in, too. I have to make "hot" and "mild" corn casserole for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Mac and cheese is easy. My daughter has food allergies and can't eat the boxed stuff, so I make it with gluten free pasta. You can use whatever you want. Just boil your pasta, drain it, put it back on the stove on simmer. Add the cheese of your choice and a little milk. Stir. Yes, it really is that easy. I've used mild cheddar, Velveeta, Kraft four cheese Mexican blend, and occasionally, all the leftover bits of cheese in the 'fridge. I also make it with some spicy Italian sausage, peppers and onions. Dress it up to suit your crowd.

Oh, and if you put a pound of diced ham in the broccoli rice casserole, it becomes a main dish. Thanks for the recipes!

Not really. I've seen a lot of cabbage and sausage recipes in my search for the one I used to make. But not the exact one. I'll keep looking, and if I find it, I'll post it. It was delicious!

Default Mac & Cheese

Penny -

Here's the way I make mac & cheese:

Start the pasta cooking.

Cook some flour briefly (without browning it) in a equal quantity of butter, and then add some half-and-half to it -- I add enough half-and-half to get the thickness that I want and then I flavor it with salt, pepper, and maybe just a little grated nutmeg (go real easy on the nutmeg!).

I don't find it necessary to heat the half-and-half, I just do a lot of whisking. This is white roux (Béchamel sauce), one of the basic sauces.

If you make the white roux kinda thin and then dump in a whole bunch of grated Gruyère and Parmesan, then you've got Mornay Sauce. It's great on veggies, toast, pasta, or almost anything else.

For traditional mac & cheese, I substitute a good aged Cheddar. By the time the pasta is done and drained, the sauce is ready. I just mix them together and chow down.

This is quick/easy and makes a very creamy mac & cheese. Running mac & cheese through the oven can make it oily.

Nobody has ever turned up their noses at this or refused to eat it.

- Jim

Guess I should have given ya'll some quantities for the ingredients.

2 oz flourer
2 oz butter
2 cups of half-in-half (maybe a little more -- ya want it thin.)

A coupla cups of grated cheese.

Do a lotta whisking and don't let it stick & burn.

About the right amount of sauce for 8oz of cooked pasta.

This doesn't suck. Trust me.

Thanks Jim. I'll give it a try.

It's funny to me when I hear the terms roux and sauce used for what I've always called the "gravy goop". For years I didn't know thats what people meant when they said roux.

Roux and sauce are the politically correct terms. Goop, slop, soppy and the like are slang.

Monkey Bread

4 tubes of Pilsbury biscuits (the cheap kind in the little blue tubes)
2 sticks of butter
2 cups of sugar
2 cups of raisins

Melt 2 sticks of butter in microwave safe bowl.
Pour 2 cups of sugar in seperate bowl.
Tear each biscuit into quarters. Dip each quarter biscuit in the melted butter. Then roll the buttered quarter biscuit in the bowl of sugar. Toss buttered/sugared quarter biscuit into a bundt cake pan. Repeat until you have a layer in the pan, then sprinkle raisins over layer. Repeat until all biscuits are used. When done, dump the left over butter and sugar into the bundt cake pan and let it all drip down over your creation.

Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. When done baking the Moneky bread will basically be swimming in a sugar/butter mixture that allows it to pop out of the bundt cake pan easily. Put a platter over the bundt cake pan and flip over. Slowly jiggle and lift the pan off.

CAUTION: While the exterior of this Monkey Bread will be pleasantly warm the inside is hot like a freaking sun flare. Be carefull.

can't believe we looked at 95 food posts before we found one with the requisite side arm! lol!

we make the magic cookie bars in many variations...anything goes, as long as you have the crumbs and the sweetened condensed milk.

One friend's fav. variation is 'nilla wafer crumbs, white chocolate chips, macadamia nuts, coconut and a half maraschino cherry on each square. He took them to a cookie exchange and was the hit of the party. (course, he was the only guy invited!)

since I don't care for chocolate, I make my bars with a minimum of chocolate chips, and add butterscotch and white chocolate chips.

have also used animal crackers for the crumb. It really is a 'clean out the cupboard' recipe!



thanks for sharing...especially the recipes, since dh saw the S.O.S., he says he wants some and I've never made it.

Here's a new one, for me, that I tried today. I've heard from a variety of people that chocolate gravy and biscuits is a wonderful dish. Apparently, it's been around for ages, but I've only heard about it in the last couple of years. "Gross" was my initial thought, but how could so many people be wrong? So I finally tried it.

Although I didn't find it absolutely disgusting, it definitely isn't my cup o' tea either. But I'm not a chocoholic, so that may be the difference in loving it, and thinking it's just so-so.

Here ya go in case you want to try it for yourself.



Chocolate Gravy

1/3 stick butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa
2 cups whole milk

Heat butter in a cast iron skillet over low heat. Mix in sugar, flour and cocoa. Mix well to remove lumps. Add milk, raise temp to medium/medium high and stir constantly until mixture is thick, being careful not to scorch. Serve hot over biscuits.

I feel the need to share. Here is a recipe for a Creole style Bean Soup.

I make my own seasoning mix. I must admit that I have found different variations of mixes online and I either alter them to make what I like or I may not have all of the ingredients that an online recipe calls for. You can mix this and store it in a zip lock bag until you need it again. So here is my seasoning mix:
  • 2 tablespoons onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano leaves
  • 2 tablespoons dried sweet basil
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon white pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
Note that I do not put salt in this. You can add that later if you want.

Here is a recipe for a Creole style white bean soup that I made recently and I like to serve this with rice.
1 lb. dried Navy beans (you can use Great Northern Beans or a mixture of multiple beans)
2 tablespoons of my seasoning blend or to taste
1 14 oz. can of chopped tomatoes
1 lb. sliced Andouille (or smoked sausage) I prefer the Andouille since that is available here in Louisiana
Winn Dixie sells a frozen seasoning blend that consists of chopped onions, celery, garlic and green and red peppers an parsley.
I use one 12 oz bag of this
12 oz. bag sliced frozen okra
1 large soup pot

Cover beans with water 2 inches above beans and soak overnight. Then drain them. Add seasoning mix, tomatoes with juice, okra, and about 10 cups of water to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer 1 1/2 hours.

Add andouille(or sausage) and simmer 1 hour. After this check the seasonings and add salt or hot sauce to taste.

I hadn't noticed the last couple recipes posted. Glad I saw them! I love white bean soup, and will definitely be trying LouisianaJoe's, and Mexican dishes are my favorite, and Penny's ingredients for that chicken casserole are on my grocery list! Thanks y'all!

I appreciate everyone who's posted a recipe. Since I'm temporarily (I hope) a house husband I've been doing all the cooking and I'm pretty good but I was running out of ideas. Suddenly this thread comes back up and I have a lot of new material to wow the wife with.

Looks good. I would add the sausage to the cabbage dish after the sausage had been fried. Maybe try adding some noodles to the cabbage dish.

I have been makeing something similar for years.

Of course. But that was last night's meal. Tonight it was open-faced roast beef sandwiches with potatoes.



My apologies, but there's just no way to make that dish look good in pictures.

Thumbs up Spicy Cajun Cabbage

A big "Thank You" to Dixie for posting this recipe! I tried it the other night, and it tasted as good as it looks! This one's been copied and printed, and I'll definitely be making it again! Now to try Joes Cajun Bean Soup!

Glad to hear it Misty. I love it when a recipe is enjoyed by others. Let us know how the soup turns out please. That sounds like one my husband might enjoy.

I'm trying a new cake recipe for the Super Bowl munchies tomorrow, so if it turns out good, I'll post it.

You can always use fresh, but I'm the shortcut queen.

My wife uses a can of french onion soup and adds onions to the veggies. Can't beleive how this improves the flavor. Although the first step in preperation is when first prepping the roast you start by first putting it in a cast itron frying pan with water and letting it dry down and sear to pan on both sides then transfer to crock pot to finish.

Blackberry Wine Cake

Cake:
1/2 cup nuts, chopped
18 ounces white cake mix
3 ounces box blackberry Jello
4 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup blackberry wine

Glaze
2 - 2 ½ cups powdered sugar (divided)
1/2 cup blackberry wine
1/2 cup butter
 
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a Bundt pan; sprinkle the nuts in the bottom of the pan.

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, Jello, eggs, oil and wine. Beat at low speed for 2 minutes. Pour in the Bundt pan and bake for 45-50 minutes.

Bring 1 cup powdered sugar, wine and butter to a boil; the glaze will be fairly thin. While the cake is still warm and in the Bundt pan, poke holes in the top with a large fork at about 1” intervals. Pour half of the glaze on the cake. Let the cake sit for 30 minutes to absorb the glaze.

Turn the cake out of the pan and completely cool.

Thicken the remaining half of the glaze with additional powdered sugar (approx. 1 - 1 ½ cups, depending on how thick you want it) and drizzle over the cake.

NOTE: The chopped nuts are optional, but they really do add to the flavor of the cake.
