This stuff does just fine by itself!! Awesome 80's food commercial.
Dried Beef Casserole
Here's a great recipe that uses dried beef. It can easily be made from food storage. You can cook the noodles, mix the ingredients together and bake this on the ...
Cold pack is a method used the most in the 1920's. It's when you blanch the
items your canning and then place right into very cold water, then you
water bath can it. However today cold pack is also referred to when you
pressure can meat by putting it cold, in the jars without any water and
then pressure can it. Makes for serious confusion to me. I think it's
easier to just follow the USDA guidelines too. makes life easier that way.
We really like the dried beef for Creamed Chipped Beef, mmm mm
Verified with mom...depending on the chocolate sauce recipe we would start
with sqaures of a Hershey's candy bar. Amish recipes are often rather
cryptic, but yet very literal at the same time. Mom also said that "cheese
crumbs" could literally be just "crumbled up cheese" - if the recipe is
calling for it to be used like a bread coating on meat then use the bread
crumb mix from my post above, or if it is to be "topped" with "cheese
crumbs" then crumble up your favorite cheese on top while hot.
My step father was from TN & he never could convert from you'ins to ya'll
or drop the R out of worsh. I sure could use you to translate some of these
recipes. Some of them call for "thick milk", is that sweetened condensed
milk? A recipe for a chocolate sauce calls for "2 sq of sweet chocolate". I
assume it's a baking type of chocolate but I've never seen sweet sold
before, only semi-sweet. They say the sauce hardens when poured over ice
cream so I gotta try it! And what are "cheese crumbs"?
What are the recipes for? If it's baking cookies/cakespie then "Thick milk"
is either buttermilk or sour milk (use a little vinegar to sour regular
milk - the more sour/vinegar, the "thicker"). The sweet chocolate squares
are likely something similar to a Hershey's candy bar - although I'm not
100% sure of that one - I'll ask my mom and let you know. And "Cheese
Crumbs" are a 50/50 mix of bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese (like
Kraft in a jar that you would sprinkle on spaghetti).
The dried beef is like thinly sliced lunchmeat. It's dried and salt cured
meat. It's very rich so a little goes a long way and it's cheap, less than
$2 for the size jar I'm showing. The only ways I've ever heard of it used
was for SOS, which stands for sh*t on a shingle, lol. The meat is chopped,
cooked with a gravy and served over toast. Very good! I've also seen folks
cover cheese balls with the beef. This is the first time I've seen it used
in a casserole. This recipe is a keeper.
Being a native Pennsylvanian transplanted to VA many moons ago, I just
gotta get "you'ins" in the South to learn your PA accents and vocabulary
correctly...it is not Lan-caster...it is Lank-ister county. :) LOL. Just
for the record, it took me YEARS to lose the "R" that we put in
Washington....as in WaRsh-ington. Of course we also say things like "run
the sweeper", "outten the light", and "red up your room" and I've never
gotten rid of those completely. Love your videos!
Best thing for the ham pot pie is to cook your ham on the bone for like
Sunday dinner. Then about Tuesday, finish slicing the ham off the bone,
throw the bone in a pot of water and cook for several hours like you're
making broth for ham and bean soup. Remove the bone and finish picking all
the bits and bites of ham off the bone (which should now be completely
picked clean). Then refrigerate overnight and skim the fat off of it the
next day when you make the pot pie.
I have used this dried beef for a lot of things in the past. I set the beef
in a bowl and pour water over it and let it sit while I get my other things
together, then rinse it, squeeze the water out and chop it. It gets rid of
a lot of that salt. I've used it in Hors Devours, chipped beef gravy, and
spreads. I like the chipped beef that's refrigerated in a package, but It's
next to impossible to find in Florida.
The canning recipes are confusing. I don't know what they're talking about
when they say "cold pack". I suspect they are water bath canning everything
and I wouldn't do that. Honestly, I'd use those recipes as a guide for
seasoning the foods they're canning but apply the principals of the USDA
guidelines to the actual foods and process. I would do a lot of homework
before I used one of the canning recipes.
I've been watching a few canning videos on Youtube and I ran across a
couple of people who dry can ground beef, I was wondering have you ever
tried it that way? I noticed you said in one of your other videos that you
didn't care to much for the ground beef canned with liquid and I was
wondering what you thought about the dry canning method, is it really safe
to do it that way?
I've had chipped beef on toast and I've never seen many other recipes using
the dried beef. I've seen folks cover cheese balls with it. This is the
first time I've seen anyone using it for a casserole and it's great. It's
still salty but the pasta and all dilutes the saltiness pretty well. I
think it would also be good using dehydrated potatoes in place of the
noodles.
I tried dry canning hamburger patties a long time ago and I thought it was
even worse. Watch my video "Canning Pork Patties". I talk about it in that
video. The pork patties turn out excellent by the way. The texture turns
out great, they taste similar to what you'd expect ground beef to taste
like and they smell good too. They're much like Salisbury steak.
My favorite coconut pie is called "Impossible Pie". It's made with
Bisquick, you mix all the ingredients together, pour it into a pie pan and
the Bisquick settles to the bottom and forms it's own crust and since the
coconut is baked along with the pie it ends up more flavorful than pies
where you add coconut to a pudding after the pudding is made.
Also, if that cookbook contains a recipe for "ham pot pie" (and being an
Amish cookbook I suspect it will) I highly recommend you try it. It is
completely different from what everyone thinks of as "pot pie" and is very
very yummy. It is absolute comfort food and a great way to get a second use
out of a smoke/cured ham bone.
Would be glad to be your translator, but cain't do it in written form.It
requires the ear to distinguish the different sounds.The same word,
pronounced differently, could mean two different things.Youins' and Y'all
mean different things.If you didn't grow up speakin' it, ye'll most likely
never git the difrence.
Pot pie should never be "greasy". And we never added any extra salt to the
broth...the only salt that was in it was what the ham was cured with. One
thing for sure, don't use a ham bone like from the Honeybaked Ham
store...the glaze and sugar on it gives the pot pie a funny taste that is
not true to pot pie.
Von, those one dish casseroles are great but not as nutritious as they
should be. Open a can of any vegetable, peas, green beans, carrots, and add
them. This will add color and interest to the dish as well as stretch it.
You can add a different vegetable each time you use a mix to keep the food
interesting. If you give them a glass of juice and a taste of the pudding
below, you have a fairly balanced meal.

Your Gay wanted CLASSIC CREAMY TUNA HELPER. I got Broccoli Tuna Helper instead. It didn't Help at all! Also a GAY HAY to Heidi and Silvia! AND a guest ...
Wow, I don't care if you're gay, but seriously grow the fuck up, stop
acting so flamboyant. You're still a fucking man, give yourself some
fucking respect and stop acting like a materialistic mongoloid.
