I like to put some onion soup mix or ranch dressing mix in my burgers. I also like to make double chili cheeseburgers using the same mixes.

Pizza Crust Recipe

Very simple and easy to make, comes out fluffy and soft, but with a firm crust.

2 1/2 Cups Flour
1 Cup Warm Water
2 1/2 Tsp. Yeast
1 Tsp. Sugar
3/4 Tsp. Salt
2 Tbsp. Oil

- Place yeast in warm water, let sit for 5 minutes.
- Add sugar, salt and oil to yeast/water mix and stir.
- Fill bowl with flour, mix in yeast/water mix.
- Mix until sticking together, then take it out and knead it on the counter top.
- Place a small amount of oil in a bowl, slide the ball of dough in it and cover with wax paper and tea towel.
- Place covered bowl in warm (not hot) oven, and let sit for 1 hour.
- Take dough and knead out all the air.
- Spread on pizza tray, add toppings and cook at 425 for 15 to 20 minutes.

(Obviously toppings are personal choice, though I suggest making the sauce a half and half salsa and pizza sauce mix.  Add a nice taste and a bit of bite.)

[Capt. Mike]

Well, not much action here recently, so, what I had last night

Cube Steak Parmesan

2 Cube steaks, wash in egg and a mixture of flour, bread crumbs and spices (your choice)
sear in pan with olive oil until brown on both sides
place in oven at 350 degrees for 35 minutes....

while this is going on, cook your tomato sauce

After 35 minutes, put your choice of cheese(s) on top and bake for another 10-15 minutes

during this time, cook the pasta of your choice

after the cheese is nicely melted, put some of your tomato sauce on the cube steaks, and bake until the pasta is done...no definate time as this can depend on altitude and humidity..

enjoy, it was good

I'm going to fix some Parmesian Pasta Tonight for the wife and Mother.

I went with Pasta Bows, and I made my Sauce using two pounds of finaly Grated Parmasian, a cup and a half of milnot, and A Spoonfull of Butter. (real butter mind you), I might add some Tiny shrimp to It, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, I'll sprinkle some ground Garlic over each plate, and use some store bought Breadsticks oven roasted.

Stephen getting hungry.

[Capt. Mike]

While I like the shrimp, they don't like me, an unfortunate alergy to shellfish..tho' I can eat freshwater clams and mussels...ah well...I enjoy what I can eat..and always use real butter...

Mike

[Sirgod]

Dang man, I'm sorry to hear that about shell fish.  trhough in some Broccili, Carrots, and Red pepper as filler and It came out Pretty good, Of course I'm Hungry again now. LOL

Stephen

[Capt. Mike]

Try a Papa Murphey's Pizza, a local (could be national) pizzaria where they make it, but you bake it...you can always add extras!!!!

[CaptStumpy]

Been a little slow in here so I thought I'd post another of my favorite recipes.

Mrs Stumpy's Marinated Flank Steak.

This is done with a 2 to 3 pound cut. If you have a bigger cut of flank increase the portions of ingredients.

2 tablespoons honey
1/2 finely chopped onion
2-4 cloves garlic minced
1 inch slice of fresh ginger grated
1 cup light vegetable oil (canola)
1/2 soy sauce

Mix ingredients with a little hot water to melt the honey. Pour into shallow casserole dish or pan large enough for the cut of meat (it need not cover the meat). Marinate in Refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours. Turn the flank occassionally.

The way I cook it is on a Weber Kettle with Mesquite wood charcoal. Medium Rare. Do not cook it more than medium though. It also is fine under the broiler for those without a grill.

Now slicing. You want to slice it thin (electric knifes are good at this) and make sure you slice across the grain (very important). If you don't it will be tough.

Enjoy.

[CaptStumpy]

Have no idea why this thread died. Probably because I contributed to it.

I tried Ol'Mankens Chili recipe tonight and I have to say it kicks ass, but boy does it have to be cut with rice.

It reminds me of some Indian dishes. My poor Welsh stomach is not tuned to such levels of hotness but I enjoyed it.

I recommend a fine Lager. It is the only way to defeat an OldManken chili.

Cheers.

The thread died because of the election. Everyone was talking politics instead of potlickers.

Glad you liked it Stumpy!  I haven't had an opportunity to make it in quite some time, though I'll probably do so not long after I return home for Christmas.  Rice is a must with this recipe, though pasta (spaghetti) might work equally welll...beer of any sort is the perfect thing to wash it down with, I agree.

Anyway, on to a request.  Does anybody have a good recipe for Carbonara sauce?  Probably my favorite pasta sauce and the Chef here at Harlow does a good job with it (a little too much bacon), so I want to learn to make my own.  I'de ask the Chef, but he's a right surly bastard!

[Sethan]

I've got my family addicted to this one.  They make sure there is beer in the fridge just on the hope I might make it.

Beer Bread

3 cups self-rising flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1 bottle beer (not light / low carb)
1/2 stick butter
salt

Let beer sit out until it gets to room temperature.  Preheat oven to 350º.  Grease a loaf pan.

Mix flour, sugar, and beer.  Pour into loaf pan, and bake at 350º for 50-55 minutes.  Remove from oven.

Melt butter and pour over top of bread, then lightly salt top crust.  Let sit for about 10 minutes.

Garlic salt can be substituted for regular salt.

[Sirgod]

I use that Same thing Sethan for a Batter with things like Fried Okra.

Anyway, Might as well post this, as I'm Making Jerky today.

Have the Meat sliced to your Preferance, Myself, I like It Very thin, with the Fat still on It.

anyway, Prepare a marinade with Worcestershire Sauce, Liquid Smoke, Garlic, and What ever Other Spices you like. Let the Meat Marinade overnight, and then Plug in the Dehydrater.

turn the Meat every 6 hours or so, and Cook for about 24 Hours.

I'm able to make about 6-7 lbs of jerky which Last's me Roughly one - Two days.

as a Side note, the Butcher I frenquent had his GF Go Psycho on him, and Broke his Laptop. He offered me Half a Deer +Parts, If I can fix It for him. I'll pick It up tomorrow and do my best to get that Laptop fixed, as I love Me some Venison.

Heres one Thats allways been a favorite  Brownie Nuggets

2 Cups Sugar
1/4 cup Cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
Put all in sauce pan and bring to boil. Boil 1 min, remove from heat.
Stir in 1 teaspoon van
1/2 cup Peanut Butter
3 cups quaker oatmeal

Now you can either spoon it out like a cookie on wax papper, dont know how many it will make as I have never done it that way,or you can get a 9 by 8 pan and put it in that, the way I do it.
Either way allow it to cool before eating.  And its good eaten man.

LUMPIA!  Oh sweet heavens, the memories of our Master Chief making them once a month.  When I was messcranking he'd let us get first shot at them.  They were pure heaven and only made for the officers, chiefs, and those enlisted people who were, or had at one time, mess-cranked in the wardroom and CPO mess.


Now, here's my recipe for Biscuits and Gravy:

For the biscuits:

Preheat oven to 395 degrees.  Oil a flat cookie sheet and heat in oven.  Use a 1 to 3/4 ration of Flour to Buttermilk.  One tablespoon of Clabber Girl (yes, brand is important) for every cup of flour.  Mix thoroughly in large bowl.  Dough should be almost of a consistency with playdough.  Pour about two teaspoons of heated oil into dough and mix thoroughly.  Place rounded tablespoon of dough onto cookie sheet.  Bake about 15 minutes.

For the Gravy:

Cook 1/2 pound of sausage in large raised skillet.  Crumle into small pieces.  Do NOT drain grease from pan.  Add about six heaping tablespoons of flour over high heat.  Mix flour, meat, and oil together.  Pour about two cups of milk into mixture, adding pepper to flavor.  Stir frequently until gravy boils and settles. 

Pour gravy over biscuits and enjoy.

For chocolate gravy, add three teaspoons of Hershey's baking cocoa, six tablespoons of sugar, and a teaspoon of vanilla to flour mixture before adding milk.

[Sirgod]

awesome Judge.  I started craving that when I saw your post over in Hot and Spicy where you mentioned this.
