Barbeque Beef or Pork
Get three or four pounds of roast. Cut it into chunks and throw it in
the crockpot with a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce. Add a little bit
of water (1/4 of a bottle while I rinse the bottle is what I do.) Turn
on High if you want it in 4 or 5 hours or low for all day. When cooked
through and the pieces are falling apart, pull them out of the liquid and
pull them apart on a plate. Discard any fatty or grisly bits and throw
it back into the sauce. Stir well. Serve on buns or over toast.
Italian Sausage Sandwiches
Pour one can of diced tomatoes into crock. Add enough sausages till
about 2/3's full. Cover that with slices of onion and red and green
peppers. Add another can of tomatoes and enough water to almost cover
the veggies. Cook for several hours WITHOUT PEEKING! Lifting the lid
messes with this one. After three or four hours stir the veggies into
the juice if needed and finish cooking. Serve with Hoagie rolls.
Pork and Sauerkraut
Three pound pork roast OR three pounds of western style ribs, two or
three pounds of Kraut, a sprinkling of caraway seeds if you like. Dump
all in and cook. Serve with mashed potatoes. (I make Bisquik dumplings
now that I have a pot that stays hot enough to do it. My old one
couldn't keep the temp high enough with the lid off.)
FUN THINGS TO DO WITH FROZEN BREAD DOUGH!!!!
(or bread machine dough)
WARNING - all cooking times are approximate.
1. Make pizza.
2. Monkey Bread - thaw bread and cut each loaf in to 32 pieces. Roll
each piece in melted butter then in cinnamon sugar. Drop into greased
Bundt pan or Angel Cake pan. Drizzle top with a little extra butter and
sugar. Let rise. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes - check frequently -
your time may vary. Turn onto a plate immediately but wait to remove the
pan. Let the goo drip down for a while first!
3. Pepperoni Rolls - thaw bread. Cut each loaf into 12 pieces. Flatten
each piece, top with a slice of sandwich pepperoni or salami and roll
jelly roll style. Seal the seams. Let rise (pinch any seams that pop).
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or so. Optional - add slice of provolne or
mozzarella with the meat.
4. Chopped Bread - Thaw bread. Flatten loaf slightly and throw in some
stuff (cheese, pepperoni, veggies, spices, whatever) With a LARGE knife
start hacking at it. When it is all a big pile of blocks of stuff, pile
it about 1" high on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 till done
5. Cinnamon Rolls - Thaw bread, roll one loaf out as thin as you can.
Spread thickly with butter and sprinkle on cinnamon and sugar (I like
brown sugar but your choice). Roll as tightly as you can. Slice about
2" thick and place in greased pan. (I make lots at a time but you need
to choose a pan that just fits the rolls you are making. One loaf is
about a 9x9 pan for me I think. Let rise and bake at 350 for about 30
minutes. Turn onto a plate immediately but wait to remove the pan. Let
the goo drip down for a while first! Frost if you want but we don't.
Optional - sprinkle pecans into the pan before placing the rolls in, or
sprinkle pecans on with the sugar and roll them in.
AND ONE LAST RECIPE - Feel free to think up a name for these!
BTW - these look really gross bet they are delicious!
2 lbs chip chop ham (Isaly's if you can get it) ground up or chopped fine
1 lb shredded cheese (cheddar or swiss or whatever)
1 med onion chopped very fine
9 hard boiled eggs shredded
mayonaise (the real kind)
yellow mustard
30 or so hot dog buns
Aluminum foil
Mix the first four ingredients. Add enough mayo and mustard to bind.
(you can adjust till you like the mustardy-ness - I like lots!) Spoon
into hot dog buns. Wrap each sandwich with foil (shiny side in) and
freeze till needed. To eat - put frozen sandwich in toaster oven or oven
and bake at 325 for at least 1/2 hour - until center is warm.
If you wish to eat them the day you are making them, you can just line
them up in a baking pan and cover the pan with foil - no need to wrap
each one. Baking times vary.

I have a frozen bread dough one too.
Stromboli
1/4 C prepared yellow mustard
2T chopped fresh basil or 2t dried
1T chopped green olives
1lb frozen bread dough, thawed at room temp(I use the overnight thawing
method)
1/4 lb sliced provolone cheese
1/4lb sliced ham
2oz thinly sliced pepperoni (2in diameter)
1 egg, beaten
1t poppy or sesame seeds
1/4lb salami
Grease a baking sheet. Stir the mustard, basil and olives in a sm bowl,
set aside
Roll the dough on a floured surface to a 16x10in rectangle. Arrange the
salami on the dough, overlapping slices & leaving about 1in border around
edges.
Spread 1/2 the mustard mixture thinly over the salami
Arrange the provolone & the ham over the salami. spread the remaining
mustard mix. Top with pepperoni.
Fold one-third of the dough toward center from the long edge off the
rectangle. Fold other side in and seal, pinch together.
Pinch ends closed and tuck under the dough. Place in the prepared baking
sheet. Cover and let rise in warm place for 15 min
Heat oven to 375. Cut shallow crosswise slits 3in apart. Brush with the
beaten egg; sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake 25 min or until brown. Salad and
drink and we're set. It said 12 servings but it feed my family of 5 with
only *sometimes* a little left over.
