CHICKEN FRICASSEE

The Catholic Churches here make this in the summer to sell at their picnics. During

the summer of 2021 the price was $19.00 a gallon. I would rather make it!

4 or 5 lbs. chicken

2 lb. chunk bacon

3 lbs. chuck beef

3 cans cream corn

2 cans peas

3 cans tomatoes

salt and pepper to taste

1 bunch carrots ground coarsely

1 bunch celery ground coarsely

5 lbs. potatoes ground coarsely

3 lbs. onion ground coarsely

Add water as needed

Boil chicken, bacon and beef until tender in water.  Cool.  Pick meat off bones and grind

the meat coarsely.  In broth, put all ingredients and simmer for 2 or 3 hours, stirring when

needed.  Makes about 5 gallons.

Broccoli Slaw

 I received this recipe while I lived in Columbus, Ohio

• 1 bag broccoli slaw mix
• 2 pkg. Beef Ramen Noodles
• 1 c. sunflower seeds
• 1 c. slivered almonds
• 1/3 c. vegetable oil
• ½ c. sugar
• ¼ c. white vinegar

Mix both beef packets (from noodles) with the oil, vinegar and sugar.  Break up noodles over broccoli slaw.  Add sunflower seeds and almonds.  Pour mixture over salad.  Mix well and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

 Blackberry Cake

This was my dad's favorite cake.  Be sure if you use frozen blackberries to let them thaw before using.

Mix: 2 eggs, 3 c. flour, 2 c. sugar.

Add: 1 c. shortening, pinch of salt.

Add: 1-1/2 c. blackberries

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to 1 hour

Brown Sugar Icing

Combine 1 c. brown sugar, ¼ c. mile and 5 T. butter. 

Boil for 2 minutes, cool then beat in 1-1/2 c. powdered sugar.

Apple Crisp 

When I was in grade school we had a small apple tree in our backyard.  Mom would shoo us out of the apples so she could get enough apples to make this.  Oh my, how I love this!

In greased 8x8 pan place 4 cups green or sour apples sliced. 

Sprinkle with 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1/3 c. hot water.  

Crumble together 1 stick butter, 1 c. sugar, ¾ c. flour, 1 c. cubed velveeta cheese. 

Mix cheese mixture with apples and bake 45minutes to 1 hour at 325.

7 Layer Salad

I haven't made this recipe in years, I think I need to again. It is so good!

This is from my days of selling Tupperware, 1976-1983. Lots of my recipes came from that

time period.

7 Layer Salad

1 head lettuce broken up

Part of a head of cauliflower broken up

¼ c. sweet onion diced

½ c. chopped celery

1 pkg. frozen peas (uncooked)

8 slices crisp fried bacon

1 c. grated American cheese

Mix 1 pt. Hellmans Mayonaise and 2 T. sugar and spread over the top.  Let set overnight.
