    I think I have found the very best way to brown meat in bulk. I just browned 20 lbs of hamburger in about an hour with very little effort and no grease splatter. The following recipe does 5 pounds in one tray but I can fit 2 or 3 trays in my home oven at…

    We agree with Kim. This is great on everything (chips, crackers, eggs, veggies, …) Note: Make this a few hours ahead of time and keep it warm in the Crock-Pot. Like all dips, this one needs time for the flavors to develop and meld. Ingredients: 16 oz. (2 packages) of cream cheese 8 oz. (1/2…

    Adapted from a Guy Fieri recipe. Makes about 2 cups. According to Dianne, “This dip is excellent if you refrigerate it overnight to allow the flavors develop. Otherwise, it is just good.” You can try other flavorings. A basic white dip is 1 part mayo and 2 parts sour cream. INGREDIENTS: 1.5 Tablespoons unsalted butter…

    Dianne decided to make cookies tonight and all the brown sugar was hard as a rock. She was ready to go to the store to buy more when I puffed up my chest and said, “I can fix it!” “I know stuff!” I spread the chunks out on a foil lined jelly-roll pan. I preheated…

    This is enough to fill an 8 qt. pressure cooker about 2/3 full. You can make these in about 2 hours if you have pre-cooked ham. It has a couple of steps but it is still faster than the crockpot method. NOTE:  Beans don’t absorb water correctly if there is salt or other impurities in…
