What is your best recipe?

[DiscGo]

I think it would be fun to find out everyone's best recipe. Or even multiple recipes for good items. Here are a couple that I like:

Middle Eastern Sloppy Joe's

Here's what you need: 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
6 green onions or scallions, sliced thin, white and green parts separated
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. coarse salt
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
2 medium tomatoes, diced

One of my favs, not sure about my best but I like it!

Dutch Oven hot teriyaki chicken

14" dutch oven
about 6-8 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup Cholula hot sauce or your favorite
a big pinch of Ginger
a shake of cayenne
1 -2 cloves of garlic - crushed
1 chopped onion - a Maui Onion if you can get it - if not, a white or yellow will do
Olive oil


sautee the onion & garlic in olive oil in the bottom of the dutch oven. Add the rest of the seasoning. No need to marinate...time will do the trick. cook for 35 to 45 minutes with charcoal briquettes - 14/15 on both top and bottom of a 14" oven OR jsut bake it in the oven - 350 for an hour or so...I always use coals so Im not sure how long in the real oven just watch it and it's down when it's tender and not pink anymore. Thiken mixture with a tablespoon of cornstarch and 1/2 cup of lukewarm water - and pour the whole thing over chinese noodles or rice...enjoy!

A perfect side dish for Thanksgiving and very easy to make. If you have a large group coming, you will want to at least double the recipe. This definitely beats the old *yams with melted marshmallow topping* dish. I find that people who say they don't like sweet potatoes, will love this dish. I brought it to a friend's house once and one guy started yapping about how much he hated sweet potatoes. I later caught him scraping the casserole dish trying to get the last bit left.


Sweet Potato Casserole w/Praline Topping

2 cans (29 oz sized cans) sweet potatoes - drained
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted


Topping

1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
3 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup pecans, chopped

Mash potatoes; add salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon, sugar, and melted butter. Place into greased 9 x 9 casserole dish. Mix topping ingredients and sprinkle over top of potato mixture. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.

OMG!! sweetpotato/ pecan pie!!! You had me at sweet potato! Have you ever tried cardamon with this recipe?

[greyhair biker]

a friend of mine who used to live in Kenya told me about taking a can of sweetened condensed milk, peeling the label off and slow boiling it n a pan of water for a hour turning it into caramel, then pouring it into a graham craker crust & while hot, drizzling dark chocolate over it & sprinklin git with chopped nuts....TO DIE FOR!---apparently, they didnt have much in Kenya and this was easy to make...tried it and another version of it called Prince of Wales pie...adding dates or rasins to the mixture. when cooled it eats like a caramel bar

Grilled Muenster and Pepperoni

I'm a big grilled cheese fan and this is my favorite. Serve it with a bowl of spicy tomato soup.

Rye or similar bread
Muenter cheese - sliced medium thick
Slicing Pepperoni - sliced thin (this is the 2" diameter not the thin sticks)
Mayonaise instead of butter

Spread a layer of Mayo on a slice of bread and begin toasting in a fry pan.
When it's nicely browned layer with cheese and Pepperoni, add second slice of bread (already mayoed) and carefully flip. Cover with pan lid and cook until nicely browned.

I'm excited to try all these (except the McDonald's).

I haven't. I find that I have to stick to the exact recipe during the holidays, or people notice and then ask "what the hell did you put in?" This isn't exactly a "pie" recipe per sa because there is no bottom crust to it. It's easy and practically impossible to mess up.

btw.....your dutch oven chicken recipe looks great!

I tried that recipe, but ended up with a McGriddle instead........

I am one who used to not care much for sweet potatoes. This recipe changed my mind. To be honest, it's practically a dessert and a breeze to make.
