Thanksgiving Recipes:

 

I prefer the stuffing recipe that I posted yesterday-it had sausage in it..but..here is another good recipe for stuffing. I have no idea what every member likes on their Thanksgiving plate..so am going by guess and golly:) and trying to pick a little of everything. I highly recommend using whipping cream for mashed potatoes. You can find it by the milk. It is alot better than using milk.

 

Turkey Stuffing:

 

1 cup chopped onion

1 cup chopped celery

1 cup shredded carrots

12 cups dry bread crumbs

1 T. poultry seasoning

1 heaping tsp. sage

5 eggs. beten

 

Saute onion and clery (do not brown). Add to the bread crumbs & remaining ingredients. Moisten with the broth. This makes enough for a 12 to 14 lb. turkey. The shredded carrots add color and keep the dressing moist.

 

Paprika Cheeese Biscuits:

 

2-1/4 cups biscuit/baking mix

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2/3 cup milk

1 tablespoon butter, melted

1//2 teaspoon paprika

 

In a bowl, combine the biscuit mix and cheese. With a fork, stir in milk just until moistened. With a fork, stir in milk just untl moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10 times. Roll dough to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a 2-1/2 biscuit cutter. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with butter, sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 450 for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 8 biscuits.

 

German Chocolate Cake Frosting:

 

This is really good..just frost on a german chocolate cake made from box:

 

1 cup sugar

1 cup evaporated milk

3 egg yolks

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup chopped nuts

1 cup coconut

1 tsp. vanilla

 

Mix sugar, evaporate milk, egg yolks and butter. Spray saucepan with Pam and boil all the above ingredients for 12 minutes-STIR CONSTANTLY.. Take off burner and add nuts, coconut and vanilla.

 

MARIE CALLENDER'S LEMON CREAM PIE

 

CRUST:

CRUST: Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar in a small bowl. Press mixture into an 8-inch pie pan.

 

FILLING: Mix cream cheese with 1/4 cup sugar, vanilla and egg using an electric mixer. Mix well until smooth. Pour cream cheese filling into graham cracker crust and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until center is cooked. A knife stuck in the middle of the filling should come out mostly clean. As pie cools, make lemon filling by combining 1/2 cup sugar with cornstarch, salt and water in small saucepan. Set mixture over low heat and bring to a simmer, stirring often. Whisk in egg yolks, then add lemon juice and butter. When mixture simmers again remove it immediately from the heat. Pour the lemon filling over the cream cheese filling, and let the pie cool. When cool, chill pie in the refrigerator for several hours before serving.
