Crawfish Etouffe

1 stick margarine
2 medium onions (chopped)
1 can Rotel tomatoes
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 pound crawfish tails

Melt margarine in skillet. Add onions and sautÈ until wilted. I put the
tomatoes and soup in a blender and chop until there are no "chunks". Add
both soup and tomatoes to onion mixture and simmer for 1 hour, uncovered.
Add crawfish tails and simmer for 1 more hour, uncovered.

Be sure to stir real often because it does get thick and has a tendency to
want to stick and burn.

Serve over rice and enjoy !

Dal.Vancouver.Canada (07:22:55) : Dals favorite Lamb
take a large leg of lamb.
Roast lamb in a covered roasting pan at 275 for 6 hrs. Yes I said 6 hrs.do not season at all.turn heat up to 475 and roast for 1 hr or until skin is crisp.The lamb will be very tender. tear off a piece of lamb, place on a piece of crusty bread,sprinkel with cummin and salt and eat away.I thought this sounded diffrent.When I tried it I was hooked.Dont forget to get a little piece of skin along with the meat.

deb.from.calgary (06:51:45) : Lamb for non-lamb Lovers
Marinate a leg of lamb in fridge...covered in a quart of buttermilk for 2-4 days. Turn twice a day. This takes the strong taste out.
Lift out and bake at 325 , 20 mins per lb.
I add a bit of ground pepper and cook to med. rare.

Joel's Perfect Meat Loaf Serves: 6-8

If you like, you can double the glaze and omit the bacon topping from
the loaf. Brush on half the glaze before baking, and the other half
during the last 15minutes of baking time. Brown Sugar-Ketchup Glaze

1/4 cup ketchup or chili sauce
2 Tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons cider or white vinegar Meat Loaf

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
1/2 cup milk, buttermilk or low-fat plain yogurt
1 pound ground chuck
1/2 pound ground veal
1/2 pound ground pork
2/3 cup quick oatmeal or saltine crackers crushed
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
6-8 ounces thin-sliced bacon (8-9 slices) 1. Glaze: Mix all ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.

2. Meat Loaf: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Heat oil in a medium
skillet. Add onion and garlic, and saute until softened, about 5
minutes; set aside to cool.

3. Mix eggs with thyme, salt, pepper, mustard, Worcestershire,
pepper sauce and milk or yogurt. In a large bowl add egg mixture to
the ground chuck, ground veal and ground pork. Next add the
oatmeal or crackers (depending upon what you have decided to add),
parsley, cooked onion and garlic; mix with a fork until evenly blended
and meat mixture does not stick to bowl. (If mixture does stick, add
additional milk, a couple tablespoons at a time, and continue stirring
until mixture stops sticking.)

4. Turn the meat mixture onto a work surface. With wet hands, pat
mixture into a loaf approximately 9x5 inches.

5. To bake free-form: Cover a wire rack with foil; prick foil in
several places with a fork to allow drainage. Place rack on a shallow
roasting pan lined with foil for easy cleanup. Set formed loaf on rack.
Brush loaf with all of glaze, then arrange bacon slices, crosswise,
over loaf, overlapping them slightly and tucking them under the loaf
to prevent curling.

6. Bake loaf until bacon is crisp and loaf registers 160 F., about 1
hour. Cool for at least 20 minutes. Slice and serve.

7. To bake in a loaf pan: Omit bacon and double glaze. Turn meat
mixture into a loaf pan WITH a PERFORATED bottom, fitted with
a drip pan. Use a fork to pull mixture away from pan sides. Brush
mixture with half of the glaze. Bake until glaze is set, about 45
minutes. Brush with remaining glaze and continue to bake until
second coat has set and loaf registers 160 F about 15 minutes longer.

Tips: Quicker cooking hamburgers

Originally posted by Dayle, B.C.
Date: May 18th 1997

Just discovered this trick a couple of months ago and it works well!

Make your patties with a hole in the middle (like a bagel) about the
size of a dime or nickle and they cook faster, and as the meat shrinks,
the whole disappears. Less chance of an undercooked burger!

Kelly~WA (04:49:00) : from TKL archives

Broiled Deviled Hamburgers

1 lb. ground beef
4 tbsp. cocktail sauce or 4 tbsp. ketchup and 2 tsp. horseradish
1 1/2 tsp. prepared mustard
2 tsp. minced onion
1 tsp. salt and a dash of pepper
1/4 cup chili sauce

Combine all ingredients.
Spread meat mixture on firm type bread or rolls, making sure edges are covered (if desired, spread prepared mustard on roll first).
Broil approximately 6 minutes or until done.
Serve as an open-faced sandwich.

potatoes and the broccoli. Place over medium-low heat and very gradually add the cheese, stirring until heated through and the cheese is completely melted.

Roasted Caramelized Pears

4 anjou or bartlett pears with stems (about 2 pounds), all of equal ripeness
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons Madeira wine

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Do not remove the stems from the pears, but peel them with a vegetable peeler. Then, using a melon baller, citrus spoon, or half-teaspoon measuring spoon, remove the seeds from each pear by digging them out from the base.

Melt the butter in a small gratin dish. Stir the lemon juice into the butter. Roll the pears in this mixture and sprinkle them with the sugar.

Stand the pears upright in the gratin dish, and place them in the preheated 425-degree oven. Cook the pears for about 1-1/4 hours, basting them with their own cooking juices every 15 or 20 minutes, until they are nicely browned and tender when pierced with the point of a knife. The juices should be caramelized and a rich brown color at the end of the cooking; if they should begin to burn, prevent this by immediately adding 3 to 4 tablespoons of water to the gratin dish.

When the pears are tender, remove them from the oven. Add the Madeira to the dish, and stir well to combine it with the juices.

Cool the pears to room temperature. Serve them with the accumulated juices spooned over and around them.
