RED ROASTED POTATOES

RED ROASTED POTATOES

Mix 1/4 teaspoon of each of the following -- or to taste:

Soy Sauce
Vinegar (white or cider)
Honey
Mustard
Oil
Lemon Juice
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Salt or Seasoned Salt (like Lowrey's)
Mrs. Dash (seasoning mix)
Parsley (dried)

Cut 5 large potatoes (with skins) into medium chunks and boil until just slightly firm still. Pour the above mixture over the top. Carely toss until all pieces are coated. Bake on 425*F until golden brown. Top with shredded Parmesan Cheese if desired.

"FUNERAL" POTATOES

FUNERAL POTATOES

5 lrg Potatoes (peel, boil & drain, shred)....or I cheat and use shredded hasbrowns, thawed.
3 T Butter
1 can Cream of Chicken (condensed) Soup
1 C Sour Cream
1 C Milk
3/4 C Cheddar Cheese, shredded
3 T Green Onions (OPTIONAL)
Corn Flake Cereal (OPTIONAL)

Directions:
Shred potatoes into casserole dish. Melt butter and pour over the potatoes. Mix the can of soup, sour cream, milk, and cheese together. Pour over the potatoes -- do NOT mix them in. Sprinkle more cheese on top if desired. Cover the top with bread crumbs or corn flakes if desired. Bake at 325*F for about 30 minutes.

GLAZED HAM

GLAZED HAM

Honey
Mustard
Ground Gloves
Brown Sugar

Directions:
Mix equal amounts (start with 2 Tablespoons of each) to taste and until there is enough to cover the ham -- I like to slice mine ahead of time because then the galze cooks into the middle of the meat as well.

I make this recipe with "FUNERAL" POTATOES for a meal idea -- that recipe is in the Side Dishes section.

LASAGNA - Easy!!

LASAGNA

1 pkg Lasagna Noodles (uncooked)
1.5 lbs Hamburger or Sausage (cooked, drained)
1 jar Prego Spaghetti Sauce (Tradional flavor)

1 tub Ricotta Cheese (8 oz)
2 C Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
1/2 C Parmesan Cheese (shredded)

Directions:
Mix meat & spaghetti sauce. Mix the 3 cheeses together. Then make layers as follows (1) sauce, (2) mushrooms, (3) uncooked noodles, and (4) cheese mixture. Make 2-4 layers as desired. Pour 1/4 - 1/2 cup of water around the edges of the lasagna; cover with foil. Bake 45-60 minutes then take the foil off and cook for 10-15 minutes more.

If frozen...increase cooking time covered with foil to 55-75 minutes and then remove the foil and cook another 10-15 minutes.
