  • 1 12 oz. can of tomato juice
  • 2 1/2 tomato juice cans of water, chicken or vegetable broth or any combination of the three
  • About 1 cup of flowers and leaves from washed nasturtiums (Whirlybirds)

Cook for another 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.


Serve hot or cold with a dollop of sour cream.
You can also skip the sour cream and add a tablespoon of vodka if serving cold, stirring it in. (My husband's idea.)

Directions:

Soak an average chicken in a solution of three tablespoons kosher salt to one-gallon water for an hour or so. Rinse and dry the chicken and place on a chicken setter containing half a can of white soda, ginger ale or seven up. Make a rub consisting of six tablespoons olive oil, four tablespoons red cooking wine tablespoons soy sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic (already it smells good) 1 tsp. salt, and one tablespoon ground ginger. Blend this mixture and rub it all over the chicken, inside and out. If there is any left make a pouch inside the breast skin and pour it there. Put some apple wood chips or pecan chips (soaked) on the charcoal. Put the chicken setter and all on the fire, close the lid and bring the temperature to 250 F degrees. Cook slowly about two hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. This is very good.

Submitted by Rose T.

Ingredients:

  • Cabbage (Park's Everlast Hybrid) cut in quarters
  • Corn (Early Sunglow) cut in halves or quarters depending on size of ear

In a Dutch oven or stockpot, layer cabbage, corn, kielbasa, potatoes, and carrots. Add about 1/2 inch of water, cover and simmer/steam around 1 hour or until veggies is cooked. Be sure to occasionally check the water level for evaporation. I don't add seasoning while cooking since there is already such a variety of flavors. Guests can season to taste after the dish is plated. For a variation you can also add fresh green beans, such as Green Bean Provider.

Hamburger and Sausage Casserole

Submitted by Lorna I.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs. ground beef
  • 1 lb. sausage links
  • 6 medium red potatoes
  • 6 carrots
  • 2 onions
  • 1 lb. mild cheddar cheese

You can do two layers of vegetables if you like. This works well on the stove top, in the oven or in a Dutch oven. We grow our own vegetables and absolutely love this scrumptious meal. 

Directions:

Make 2" hamburger patties, brown, salt & pepper. Scrub potatoes and slice into 1/2" thick pieces. Peel carrots and slice into 1/4" thick pieces. Peel onions and slice 1/3" thick. In a heavy roaster pan, layer the hamburger patties, potatoes, carrots, and onions. Salt and pepper each layer as you go. Place link sausages on top. (I like to cut the sausages into 1" pieces) Add 1/2 cup water, cover with a lid and simmer for about 1 hour or until vegetables are tender. Just before serving place slices of cheese on top of sausages and continue to simmer (covered) for 10 more minutes or until cheese has melted. Enjoy!

It's an easy dish to serve to a large crowd by increasing the ingredient amounts.
