There were many great dishes at the Mystic Springs Motorhome Rally potluck dinner. I am always looking for new recipes, especially ones that work well at a potluck dinner. We discussed having a place on the forum to post the recipes...so here it is.

Please feel free to post any good recipe you have. This is open to all interested parties.

Cook broccoli 5 to 10 minutes in very little water. Drain & cool. Mix all other ingredients together. Put broccoli and mixture into large casserole dish and mix. Crumble crackers over top, dot with butter, and bake 45 - 50 minutes at 350 degrees. (Note: the casserole will still jiggle some when it is done.)

Cranberry Dish

1. One bag of cranberries --- Cook in 1 ½ cup of water until they all pop, then remove from heat.

2. Stir in 3 cups of sugar, 2 small boxes of cherry jello, 1 to 4 cup of various nuts (optional, I use about three cups of walnuts or pecans) 1 #2 can of crushed pineapple with juice.

3. Stir all of this in together and chill over night in fridge.

4. TOPPING ---- Crumble one 8-ounce package of Philadelphia cream cheese into ½ pint of whipping cream. Add one small (10 ounce) package miniature marshmallows.

5. Stir all of this and let set over night. Next morning, beat all of the topping mix with mixer and spread over top of cranberries.

It seems American barbeque and Airstreams should go together somehow. To that end, please consider the Big Green Egg cooker. We have had ours for several years and it is an incredible machine. This is the one cooker which stands up to an Alaskan winter. It can grill steaks in 3 minutes at 1200F (at 20 below), or do a boston butt at 200F for 36 hours on one load of charcoal. They make a small cooker which seems conducive to TT's. Check out the BGE website at www.BGE.com and you may get hooked. The "cult" of we eggers is eerily familiar.......let's see; both are the best available, both are American made, both are kinda round, both are made by eccentric companies, both have lousy directions, both have cult followings, both have great web help forums.......

Bonfire Baked Beans

Equipment:

1 - Well-seasoned Cast Iron or Heavy Cast Aluminum Dutch Oven (8 Quart or Larger)
1 - Roll Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil
1 - Dutch Oven Lifting "Wrench"
5 - Pounds Charcoal Briquets
2 - Long-Handled Serving Spoons

Ingredients:

1.5 - - Pounds Hickory Smoked Bacon
1 - - Pound Can Brown Sugar Process Baked Beans (Drained)
1 - - Pound Can Bar-B-Que Process Baked Beans (Drained)
1 - - Pound Can "Tomato" Process Bakes Beans (Campbell's or equivalent) <Drained>
1 - - Medium Yello Onion (Finely Chopped)
2 - - Cloves Garlic (Minced)
1 - - Large Bottle Bacos
1 - - Can French's French Fried Onions
1 - - Can Dry Process Mustard
1 - - Bottle Brook's Catsup
1 - - Bottle Honey DiJon Mustard
1 - - Bottle Worcestershire Sauce
1 - - Bottle Balsamic Vinegar
2 - - 6 Ounce Cans Contadina Tomato Paste
2 - - 6 Ounce Cans Contadina Tomato Sauce
1 - - Pound Light Brown Sugar
1 - - Bottle (Sweet) Sorghum Molasses
** - Salt and Pepper to Taste

Directions:

Preparation of Dutch Oven:

Spray interior of dutch oven as well as inside surface of lid with Pam or similar cooking spray. Then line dutch oven with bacon strips allowing the bacon strips to overhang the edges of the pot - - they will be folded over to meet in the middle of the dutch oven in the end. The bacon should cover in excess of 90% of the dutch oven surface.

Preparation of the Beans:

In a large mixing bowl combine the processed baked beans that have been drained. To the beans, add the onion, garlic, 3/4 bottle of Bacos, 1.5 teaspoons Dry Process Mustard, 3/4 cup Brook's Catsup, 3/4 cup Honey DiJon Mustard, 3 to 4 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce, 2 6-Ounce cans Contadina Tomato Paste, 2 6-Ounce cans Contadina Tomato Sauce, 3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar (firmly packed), 3/4 cup sweet Sorghum Molasses, 3 Tablespoons of Balsamic Vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Carefully mix all of the above ingredients together and when well blended dump into the prepared Dutch Oven.

Top the above mixture with the remaining Bacos and all of the French's French Fried Onions. Fold over the ends of the bacon strips. Seal the top of the dutch oven with the heavy duty aluminum foil.

Bake in either of the following methods:

Bonfire method: In a well-established camp fire, place the dutch oven in the hot coals at the edge of the fire - - allow to bake for 2 to 3 hours (until hot and bubbly) - - being sure to turn the dutch oven 1/2 revolution about once every 30 minutes.

Charcoal method: Place about three pounds of charcoal briquets in a circle slightly larger than the base of the dutch oven. Allow the coals to burn until they are about 50% light gray, then place the dutch oven on top of the coals. If the dutch oven has a "baker lid", a fire scoop can be used to carefully add a single layer of hot coals to the lid of the dutch oven. Allow to bake for 2 to 3 hours (until hot and bubbly).

This dish may be prepared in a standard oven, but it seems to loose something in the translation.

I have been preparing this dish for potlucks for more than a decade. It is VERY rich and we never speak of cholesterol where this dish is discussed. The original dish upon which I based this reipe called for three kinds of dried beans with the normal pre-soaking and related preparation - - I have preferred using the canned beans as it significantly simplies the preparation and presentation of the dish.

I stumbled across this Site while surfing and felt this the appropriate thread to post it in.

Ratatouille: this is a great way to use up those garden veggies you just can't leave to rot while you are gone on vacation, usually used the first few days in camp!
Ingredients:
* Whatever home grown vegetables are "almost ready" just before you leave, such as tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, green and red peppers, and onions. (Any amount, any combinations) If you have them on hand, toss in some mushrooms.
* Olive oil and seasonings such as garlic (lots), salt, pepper
Directions: Chop/slice all veggies. Add to heated olive oil in your favorite everyday pan or camp skillet and quickly stir fry. Add tomatoes last to avoid overcooking. (We like our veggies with a little crunch.) Season to taste --there's never too much garlic! This will keep in the refrig for a second day and taste even better. Enjoy your veggies from home while on the road!

Chili: some like it hot! Ours ALWAYS has chili beans.
Ingredients:
* 2-3 pounds ground chuck; 2 large cans Bush's (or SOB) chili beans with sauce, medium to hot; one large onion, chopped; one large green pepper, chopped; hot pepper or Tabasco-added only if YOU like it. We think the Rotel takes care of this.
* Olive oil for sauteing onions, peppers and seasoning to taste such as salt, pepper, garlic, Williams Chili Seasoning envelope.
* 1 can Rotel, original
Directions: Chop onion and pepper, saute in oil in favorite skillet or iron kettle until softened. Pour off oil. Add ground chuck to brown. Pour off accumulated fat. Add beans, Rotel, seasonings. Simmer until it smells so good you know it's time to eat! Serve with sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese. some crackers or corn chips, and cold beer or ice-cold milk to wash it down!

Jenny Bothman of the Carolina Coastal Unit conducted a class/demonstration at the Region 3 Rally last week, titled "Cooking on the George Foreman Grill."

Some of the recipes were Jenny's originals; others were traditional recipes she modified (if necessary) to work on the grill. The great thing about using the grill while 'Streaming is that you can set it on a table outside your coach and keep the heat and odors outside.

The turnout was so large and the samples so delicious, that I volunteered to post the recipes here for those who didn't get a printed copy. I am going to put each recipe in a separate post to make it easier to locate a favorite recipe.

from Jenny Bothman's seminar - "Cooking on the George Foreman Grill"


Flour tortillas
Shredded cheese
Diced cooked meat
Butter
Black olives, onions, tomatoes, etc.

Butter a tortilla and place butter side down onto the griddle. Layer cheese, meat and any other ingredients, end with a layer of cheese and top with another buttered tortilla. Cook until light brown, garnish with sour cream and salsa.

1 can (12 or 14-3/4 oz.) salmon, drained
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 egg
5 saltines, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons butter

In a bowl, combine everything except the butter; mix well. Shape into six patties. Place the patties on the griddle and cook until heated through.

Mashed potatoes – left over
Salt & pepper
Flour
Butter

Loosely stir flour into the mashed potatoes. Gently make potatoes into patties, place on butter griddle. Cook until golden brown.

Note: Don’t stir too much or the potatoes will become sticky/gooey and you won’t be able to work with them. I asked Jenny about amounts, she thought that maybe 1/3 cup flour to 3 cups leftover potatoes. Of course, that depends on how wet the potatoes are. Use trial and error, these are worth it.

These were not on the recipe list, but were so good I decided to tell you about them.

Jenny cut up vegetables and put them in a large zip lock bag. She then poured a bottle of Ken’s Caesar salad dressing in the bag and marinated the veggies for about an hour.

She poured the veggies onto the griddle and cooked them until they were just tender. They were WONDERFUL. As I remember, she used zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper. You could use any mix.

1 can (20 oz.) sliced pineapple
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
½ teaspoon brown sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 slices pound cake
vanilla ice cream
caramel ice cream topping

Drain pineapple, reserving 1/3 cup juice and six pineapple rings. In a microwave-safe dish, combine butter, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and reserved pineapple juice. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1-8 minutes or until bubbly.

Brush half of the mixture on both side of pineapple rings and cake slices. On the griddle, cook the pineapple and cake for 1-8 minutes until golden brown on both sides, brushing occasionally with remaining pineapple juice mixture.

Top each slice of cake with a pineapple ring and a scoop of ice cream; drizzle with caramel topping. Serve immediately.

Maid-rites (also known as loose meat sandwiches): for one pound of hamburger. We usually do 3-4 pounds at a time since it takes a while to do and increase the liquid proportionally. This is really simple and so tasty!

1 pound ground beef.
1/4 cup beef broth
1 cup water

On medium heat, brown beef, mashing or knifing it as you go so that the meat is eventually in tiny crumbles or "loose." Drain fat from the meat. Return meat to skillet or kettle. Add beef broth and water. This will look really wet and strange. Simmer until all the liquid is absorbed and meat is extremely tender. Serve on warm hamburger buns with cheese, sliced onions, sliced dill pickles, and mustard to taste. Anyone who grew up in Maidrite Country will think they've died and gone to heaven! Enjoy
