July's Featured Recipe:
NOT Sloppy Joes
- 2 lbs. lean ground beef
- 1/2 c. onion, chopped
- 1 c. chopped celery
- 1 (10.75 oz.) can condensed tomato soup
- 1/4 c. ketchup
- 1 TBS white vinegar
- 1/4 c. brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsps. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- hot dog buns (MUCH neater than hamburger buns!!)
Place ground beef in a large skilled over medium heat. Cook until evenly browned, stirring to crumble evenly. Add onion and celery. Cover the pan and cook until the vegetables are tender and transparent, about 5 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
Stir the undiluted tomato soup, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce into the beef. Season with salt and garlic powder. Heat to a simmer and stir frequently over low heat until heated through.
Spoon into hot dog rolls, and serve.
These are some of Mim's favorite recipes. Mim has a lot of cookbooks, and she gets a lot of recipes online, but she rarely follows them to the letter. If a dish goes over well, Mim has to write the recipe down while we're still eating so she doesn't forget what ingredients she used!
This cookbook contains the recipes that have become staples in Mim's kitchen over the years. Food "purists" criticize some of the changes that Mim makes to her recipes, but anyone that has tasted Mim's cooking knows that it just tastes good.
Mim also has a granddaughter with severe food allergies, so she adapts a lot of her recipes. Click here for recipes with no dairy, egg, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, or wheat.
Mim bought a laptop a few years ago so that she could get recipes online and type her own recipes. This website is a growing collection of favorites. The recipes are printer-friendly (no need to click a separate link!), so Mim can give copies to her friends who don't care to access them online, and in a large-view version, so that Mim can open the recipe on the laptop on the counter and still see the print from the stove.
Enjoy!
