BEEF PORCUPINES FROM 1973

I have made this recipe many, many times since I cut out this clipping in 1973.  It has been a family favorite and has always gone over good at potluck meals as well.

Note: When I take these to potlucks I double the recipe and put them in my crockpot set on keep warm to transport.

MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE CHERRY CAKE

I have had this recipe so long I can't remember where I got it but I think it was given to me by a lady doing an evening demo class on microwaves at the JCPenney store in Plano, Texas.  I loved it that she gave her classes on the evenings I was on the management closing team.  I could pop in and out of her classes and I always got to share in the goodies she made!

CHICKEN AND BISCUITS CASSEROLE

Thanks Anna DeLong for sharing this recipe.  It is not a vintage recipe but since it reminds one of vintage recipes I thought it would fit in here.

3 cups (approx.) of cooked, shredded chicken (I used 2 breasts for this)
1 1/2 cups chicken stock or broth
1/4 cup (half of a stick) butter, melted
2 cups Bisquick
1 1/2 cups milk
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 cups frozen mixed veggies (allow to thaw for about 30 minutes before adding to recipe)
3 chicken bouillon cubes
Pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Warm chicken stock in a small sauce pan and add in the bouillon cubes to dissolve. Keep warm until ready to use.

Lightly coat with non-stick spray a 9 x 13 casserole dish or large, round casserole dish (mine was a 12" round). Pour in the melted butter.

Layer the shredded chicken on top of the butter.

Sprinkle on the veggies.



In a small mixing bowl, combine the milk and Bisquick. (It's okay if there are a few lumps remaining.)



Pour over the chicken and vegetables. DO NOT MIX!

Sprinkle on a little black pepper, if desired.



Combine the cream of chicken soup with the warmed stock in a small mixing bowl.

Once blended, slowly pour over the Bisquick layer. Again, DO NOT MIX!

(Yes, it'll looks like a big, soupy mess. Trust me ... this is what it's supposed to look like!)



If using a 9 x 13 pan, bake for 40 - 45 minutes or until casserole is set and top is brown and bubbly. If using a large, round dish (mine was 12"), bake for 50 - 55 minutes or until casserole is set and top is brown and bubbly.

Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

COUNTRY CLUB HAMBURGERS

2 lbs ground beef*
Blue Cheese Filling:
1 3-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon crumbled blue cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon prepared mustard

12 slices bacon, precooked slightly
Salt
Pepper

6 large, well shaped mushrooms

Divide ground beef in 12 mounds.  Flatten each between squares of waxed paper to 1/2 inch thickness.

For Blue-cheese Filling, cream the cheeses together; stir in onion, horseradish, and mustard.  Top half the patties with filling, leaving 1/2-inch margin for sealing.  Cover filling with remaining patties, sealing edges well.  Wrap edges of each burger with the bacon, using 2 slices and securing ends with toothpicks.  Broil 5 inches from heat about 6 minutes; sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Turn and broil about 5 minutes more or until done just the way you like them; season second side.

Flute the mushroom caps and top each burger with a mushroom.  Makes 6 servings.

*If beef is lean, have 6 ounces of suet ground with this amount.  Burgers will be at their very best!

Note: This is a 1963 Better Homes & Gardens recipe.

HONEY-GINGER CHICKEN - 1975

This is a recipe card I got in the mail from Betty Crocker in 1975.  Too bad I don't eat chicken as I do eat lots of ginger for health reasons.  Hopefully you will enjoy this chicken like some of my family does. You can click on the pictures to enlarge for easier reading.

PEANUT OATMEAL PIE

This is not a vintage recipe but it is one I have had for 22 years so I am going to post it here.  Please do not respond by telling 1991 is not vintage.  As someone from the 1940s, believe me, I know 1991 is not vintage!!

LELA GAITHER’S BARBEQUE MEATBALLS

« BACK TO MAIN NEWS LISTING

Need some good food for watching football games (or Homecoming marathons) this weekend?  Bill’s mom, Lela Gaither, used to make these delicious barbeque meatballs!  Here’s the recipe for you...

 

Lela Gaither's Barbeque Meatballs

Meatball Ingredients:

2 pounds hamburger
8 eggs
cracker crumbs
2 medium onions, chopped finely
1 package tomato-flavored dry cup-of-soup mix
sage to taste


Sauce Ingredients:

1 can Campbell’s onion soup
1 can Campbell’s tomato soup
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Mix meatball ingredients together and form into small, firm meatballs.  Drop into boiling water until they float to the top.  Remove and drain on paper towels.

Combine sauce ingredients and add meatballs.  Mix well and simmer until thick and bubbly.  Sauce will keep for about one week.  Makes about 75 meatballs.

This sauce is also great for chicken or ribs.  Just boil the chicken or ribs until tender, then add them to the sauce!
