Merry Christmas


I wish you all a blessed Christmas and new year filled with peace and joy.
If you're the chef today and would like to try a really good green bean recipe for your dinner, give this a try...
Brown ten slices of bacon..sliced small...
drain the grease, then add a half cup of finely chopped onion...cook til transparent....add a cup or more of sour cream and mix well...then add a couple good shakes of flour...a squirt of lemon juice....a tad bit of salt and quite a bit more pepper...mix well then add 6 to 8 cans of drained julienne sliced beans. ..mix well then pour into a baking dish....level it off and top with cheddar cheese....bake covered at 350 for a half hour. It is absolutely delicious and goes really well with prime rib or turkey.
Another fantastic dish is the wonderful slav sauerkraut that I learned to make from sister in law's hubby.........
Start by rinsing well one quart jar of sauerkraut...add it to the pound of sausages that you have drained after browning in the oven or stovetop.....add a half cup finely chopped onion.... 2 cloves of garlic or enough garlic pwd to equal that......1 tablespoon brown sugar.....1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.....1/4 teaspoon pepper....and a half of a pared apple. Mix together, add a little water...cover and cook slowly in the oven or cover and simmer 3 hours on the stove top. I guarantee you will love this dish and it too is fantastic with meats. Salud !!!!

Either ya love sauerkraut or ya hate it..there is no in between. I have always liked it, but the way the slavs cook it is so much better than the way I grew up eating it....plopped in a pan with hot dogs on top and heated until warm . I don't think I could ever eat it that way again.
