My brother, IIRC, has already tried this and he said it was pretty good...

I'll keep everyone informed of the results from my experiment...



Not any real sort of recipe, but I used to throw some cheese and Potatoes O'Brian in with eggs and make scrambled eggs out of it. A bit different but pretty good.

Hot Buttered Rum Sweet Potatoes
A signature dish!

Here's my Hot Buttered Rum Sweet Potatoes recipe, sort of. I was cooking professionally when I developed this dish so I have no measurements for the ingredients. Unless I was baking, I cooked mostly by instincts. But I figure you folks are adept in the kitchen so here goes:

Sweet potatoes
Myer's Dark Rum
Brown Sugar
Honey
Butter
Salt

Bake the sweet potatoes until semi-soft to the squeeze. Baking is the recommended preparation as it will draw out some of the moisture. Once done, let cool 15-20 minutes and slice in half. Scoop out the potatoes into a large bowl, taking care to avoid any dark spots as they will be bitter and watch out for stringy cellulose near the ends. Use a potato masher or another kind of tool to mash them, small lumps are OK. While it's still warm, add in the butter. Approx. one to 1 1/2 stick for 5-6 avg sized potatoes, give or take. Add in 1/2 cup or more of brown sugar, 1/2 cup or more of honey, throw in 2 tsp or so of salt, add 1/2 cup of rum, and mix well.

Adjust to taste with rum and honey and remember that you can always add more of something to a dish but you can't take it out. Might want to add some more salt to bring out the sweet more, if necessary. A little brown sugar over the top before you put it in the oven makes for a nice presentation. Bake at 350 F and let it reduce before serving so it sets up, at least 90 minutes, use your discretion.

Cook with your instincts regarding portions and taste as you go. If you need to make it sweeter, add more honey. Myer's dark rum is highly recommended for this dish as that molasses taste really complements the other flavors. Also, this is a dish that is best the next day after the ingredients have married and you get a greater depth of flavor. This stuff is so good it's almost a confection and it's one of my signature dishes. Make a batch or two to get your ratios down and then make a batch for a family get-together. Your family will demand that you make it again, I promise you.

Mama's Chicken and Dumplings

Mama's Chicken and Dumplings

1 hen or fryer 1/2 tsp. baking soda
3 C. flour 3 heaping T. shortening
1 tsp. salt 1 3/4 C. water

Boil chicken until tender. Debone and cut or tear into pieces or chunks; lay aside. Mix flour, salt, soda, shortening and water. Roll out on floured board and cut into 1 inch wide strips, then into squares. Drop into simmering broth and add chicken. Salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for about 15 minutes. (If broth is not rich enough, I add boullion cubes and butter)

This is Nana's recipe or as close as we could get, since she said she never measured.

This thread makes me hungry. Anyone have any slow cooker recipes?

One of the best and easiest that I have is:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 C barbeque sauce
1 red onion diced

Here comes the hard part, put it all in the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-6. Shred with a fork, done.

 

[Hopman]

I may have to try that. Maybe even bring it to the next pot-luck I go to.

 

[powerranger262]

BUMP....I'm hungry.

This bar we order lunch from has a sandwitch they call the "Buckburger"
It's 1/2lb hamburger with a 1/4" slice of ham then 6pcs of bacon.
You get one of these with everything on it, you about have to step on it to flatten it enough to take a bite.

another good one for pot lucks:

(2) 8oz jars of chili sauce.
(1) 10 or 12oz jar of grape jelly
(?) how ever many 1oz meat balls will fit in your slow cooker.

mix chili sauce and grape jelly together and pour over the meat balls, set on medium/medium high. stir it up every 30 minutes for about 1-2 hrs or till meat balls are hot! enjoy!

P.S. they have a bit of a bbq taste done this way, I have also added chili powder to "heat" them up a bit!

^Just got done making that one, that is definately a keeper. Real easy and really good!

 

[lil_Blue_Ford]

Results are in from the first test of the Bacon Burger!

I found it a bit challenging to cook, I tried using a George Foreman grill, it worked, but took quite awhile to cook. Not sure if cooking it in a skillet would work out better or worse. Microwave might be effective.

It did shrink... a LOT! So be prepared. (1/2-3/4" thick became about 3/8")

With some cheese on a bun... it was AWESOME!

I have another four patties left, lol.
