Recipes for Sacto

[BajaOklahoma]

To make it easier to for Sacto to locate the recipes for this year's recipe book, I thought I would start this thread.


Spaghetti Pie
6 ounces spaghetti
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese; grated
2 whole eggs; well-beaten
1 cup cottage cheese
1 pound ground beef or bulk pork sausage
1/2 cup onion; chopped
1/4 cup green pepper; chopped
1/4 cup mushrooms; chopped
1/4 cup black olives; chopped
8 ounces tomatoes; chopped, not drained
6 ounce tomato paste
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano; crushed
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese; shredded
Cook spaghetti, drain (about 3 cups). Stir butter into hot spaghetti. Stir in parmesan and eggs. Form spaghetti mixture into a crust in a buttered 10-inch pie plate. Spread cottage cheese over bottom of spaghetti crust. In a skillet, cook ground beef or pork sausage, onion and green pepper until vegetables are tender and meat is browned. Drain; stir in tomatoes with juice, paste, sugar, oregano and garlic salt, heat through. Turn meat mixture into spaghetti crust. Bake uncovered in 400ºF oven for 20-25 minutes - the edges should just be starting to turn brown. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese atop the mixture. Bake for 5 minutes or until cheese melts.
Makes 6 servings.
I actually use PAM to coat the pan and less butter in the noodles. If you decide to use canned/jar sauce (for simplicity), make sure it is very thick. Since any extra liquid will tend to spill out, put the pie pan on a cookie sheet.
For the extra one that I also made, I cooked it to the point of adding the cheese. I will simply reheat it and then add the cheese. It does NOT freeze well. But it will do fine in the frig for up to a week.
Enjoy.

Angel Hair with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Goat Cheese

1 (10-ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, chopped (oil reserved)
1 small onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup tomato paste
2/3 cup dry white wine
8 ounces angel hair pasta
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces soft fresh goat cheese, coarsely crumbled
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the wine and sun-dried tomatoes and simmer until the liquid reduces by half, about 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of cooking liquid. Add the pasta to the tomato mixture and toss to coat, adding some reserved cooking liquid to moisten. Season the pasta, to taste, with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the goat cheese and parsley and stir. Mound the pasta into bowls and serve.

tonight's dinner: Goulash

beef roast and pork roast, trimmed and chopped into 1" cubes--about 2-3 lbs. total
1-2 bay leaves
half an onion, diced
ketchup (or tomato paste--but ketchup has more flavor)
a bottle of beer, your choice (dark is best)
water
salt
pepper
flour

Put a little olive oil/vegetable oil in the bottom of a large pot and sear the cubes of meat. Don't put them too close together--you don't want them to ooze or sweat.
Turn them so all sides are brown (try not to squish them too much--if you squish the juice out when you flip them, the meat will be tough)

When the meat is browned (but not cooked all the way through) remove it to a plate and add the diced onion. Add about 1/4 cup ketchup or about 3 oz. of tomato paste. Let it and the onions cook. Some of the ketchup will brown and stick to the bottom of the pan. Don't worry, it isn't burning.

When the onions are tender (they'll start to turn slightly translucent) pour in the bottle of beer and return the meat to the pot.
Add the bay leaves, some salt and pepper, and about a cup of water--enough to cover the meat.

Bring everything to a low boil and let it simmer until the meat is tender--it should take 2-3 hours. Check it occasionally to make sure it has enough liquid to cover everything--if it doesn't you can add more water.
You can also do this in a pressure cooker and it will only take 45-60 minutes.

When it's done remove the meat so you can thicken the gravy. You can strain out the onion pieces if you want, first. Then remove the bay leaves (very important).
Roughly figure it takes about 2 Tablespoons of flour to thicken a cup of liquid. I put about a half cup of cold water into a container and add the flour and shake it up VERY well. Strain the liquid to get out any lumps, and add it gradually to the gravy stirring constantly to make sure the cold liquid doesn't lump when it hits the gravy.
Don't add the mixture all at once, add a little at a time until the gravy thickens slightly. DON'T ADD TOO MUCH--the gravy will thicken as it simmers. Be sure to simmer the gravy for a couple of minutes at this point so the flour will cook. (raw flour = nasty)

Add the gravy back to the meat and serve either with potatos or noodles (i prefer noodles--little wavy noodles or whatever)

That sounds good, but I'd use ricotta instead of cottage cheese. And I'd probably substitute something else for the green peppers, mushrooms, and black olives - I'm not a big fan of those.

That sounds good, but I'd use ricotta instead of cottage cheese. And I'd probably substitute something else for the green peppers, mushrooms, and black olives - I'm not a big fan of those.

The cottage cheese is just to spread over the noodles and form a base for the sauce. No taste really.
If you omit the green peppers, mushrooms, and black olives, add some spices.
And make sure the sauce is fairly thick - it cooks better.

SBSB, the queso is making me hungry.....

[OU-HSV]

Here's one I posted last week on another thread. It's for some pico/salsa stuff.

My wife makes some pico type stuff that's freaking awesome. She always makes it when we have people over for games and stuff. (Taken from an old RCB bank cookbook.)
you need:
4 Large ripe tomatoes
1 Large onion
3/4 Cup fresh cilantro
Hot peppers to taste
Three cloves fresh garlic
Salt to taste

Peel tomatoes and put first five ingredients in food chopper. She chops each ingredient one at a time and then stirs them together. Add salt to taste. It will keep in the refrigerator for one week.

shrimp. Saute until shrimp pink.
- Add veggies, hot sauce, and lime juice.
- Cook 10-15 minutes. Let rest 10-15 minutes to cool. S
- Serve over cheese grits.
(* I use Alaga Hot Sauce because of the sweet-hot taste. If you
cannot find Alaga Hot Sauce, you may substitute any hot sauce of your
choice.)

Part II -- Grits

Note: Don't even think about instant grits.

Ingredients:
1-2 cups stone ground grits
3-4 cups chicken stock
1 cup half and half
1-8oz block cheddar cheese
4 oz parmesean cheese
salt and pepper to taste
caynne pepper to taste

- Cook grits in chicken stock to desired consistency for approximately
30-45 minutes.
- Add salt and pepper. May need to add water in order
to get desired consistency.
- Add half and half. Cook 10-15 minutes and
add cheeses.
- Stir throughout process. You may want to cook your grits
longer depending on doneness. (I always tell people to cook the grits like
they always cook theirs and just add the cheeses.)
- Add cayanne pepper.

Serve shrimp over grits and ENJOY!!!!!

This queso is awesome for the games coming up.

[critical_phil]

ok, i saw this on paula deen's show the other day and made it last night. it was a great alternative to the crap that i get this time of year (i've got a sister in law on each side of the family that thinks their green bean casserole is actually edible). i'm making it again tomorrow for the other side of the fam.

it's simple, and tasty. i added a thin slice of red bell pepper, one green onion, and a wedge of zucchini to each bundle.


Recipe courtesy Paula Deen
Ingredients
1 pound fresh green beans
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Bacon


Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Blanch green beans for 3 minutes. Toss them in olive oil and salt and pepper. Bundle about 5 green
beans and wrap a piece of bacon around the bundle. Place in a roasting pan and roast for 10 to 15
minutes, until bacon is cooked.
