Featured Recipes

The following recipe was submitted by Jennifer. This is one of her family favorites. These look so good. I bet they would be wonderful with fresh beans as well! Thank you so much for sharing, Jennifer!!



Green Bean Bundles

2 cans Whole Green Beans, dranined
1 pd. Lean Bacon, sliced in half
1/4 C. Butter
1/2 C. Brown Sugar
Salt
Pepper
Garlic
Toothpicks

Wrap a slice of bacon around 5 green beans and stick a tooth pick to hold down.  After
 all green bean bundles are made layer in a pan and sprinkle with salt, pepper and 
garlic.  Melt butter and mix in brown sugar.  Pour of green beans and let marinate over
night.  Bake in 350 oven for 20-30 minutes until bacon is cooked and crisp.  You may 
have to drain the grease and turn the bundles often.  

NOTE:  My husband cooks the bundles in the oven for a while then on the grill to help 
the grease drain off the bundles.

1/4 tsp pepper

1/3 cup sliced olives

Preheat the oven to 375° F. Break 12 frozen sandwich steaks into a skillet, cook and
toss until browned without overcooking. Season with 1/4 tsp. of salt, pepper and 
1/2 tsp. of chili powder. Add one (11 oz.) can of tomato soup and one 14 oz.) can of 
chili beans. Cook slowly for a few minutes to heat and blend the flavors. Spread

I usually use Philly Gourmet Sandwich Steaks for this because they are already
convienantly sliced and 100% pure beef.

The following two recipes were submitted by Barb. These recipes are her Family Favorites. Please note her comments with each recipe - they both look so delicious that I'm planning on trying them with our children. Thank you, Barb, for sharing thess recipes. They look like so much fun to make!!!

Easy Kid's Pork Chops

Barb's Comment: "This is one of my kid's favorite meals since the rice krispies make 
the pork chops a bit sweet. It's really quick and fun to do with the kids too!"

ingredients: 4 - 6 center cut pork chops
3 cups Rice Krispies
1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper
1 teaspon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
butter

Throw rice krispies, pepper, garlic powder and salt into a zip lock plastic bag.  Have
the kids crush and mix this up with a rolling pin, while it's in the bag, to form a
fine powder.  It's OK if some of the rice krispies remain whole.

In a small pie dish, scrabble the egg and milk.  Dip the pork chops into the egg
mixture then throw the pork chops into the bag and have the kids SHAKE until pork
chops are well coated with the rice krispies mixture. 

Put the pork chops into a 9" x 11" pyrex baking dish and put a small pat of butter on
top of each pork chop. 

Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours depending upon how thick the pork
chops are.

Serve with baked potatoes and sauteed green beans.  
Enjoy - Barb




Kids Bestest  Ever Spaghetti!

Barb's Comment: "The kids all just LOVE this one.  Even the neighbor's kids have to come 
over for dinner when I make this.  They think that I am the "best cook" - ha, ha!!!"

ingredients: 2 14.5 oz. cans of whole tomatoes
1 stick of butter or margerine
1/2 cup of chopped fresh onion
1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper
3 teaspoons salt
4 to 5 teaspoons of sugar
1 pound of "thin" spaghetti

Puree onions so that the are very fine and no lumps.  Sautee these in a large fry pan
with the butter until lightly golden brown.

Puree the tomatoes so that they are very fine and no lumps.  Add these to the fry pan
with the onions. Add the salt, pepper and sugar.  Let this mixture simmer on low for
about 30 minutes until it thickens just a bit.

In the mean time, cook the thin spaghetti as directed on the back of the package.
Drain and add to the fry pan with the tomato sause and mix so spaghetti is well
coated.  Let this cook for about 5 minutes so that the spaghetti absorbs some of the
sauce.

Serve with Wonder Bread that has been spread with some butter, sprinkled with a bit of
garlic salt and toasted lightly.
