Hey SDopers,
I need your help coming up with a good side dish to bring to my parent’s house (23 people) on Christmas.
They sent me this absolutely disgusting recipe for a broccoli casserole that included eggs, Ritz crackers and mayonaise.
Okay the recipe sounds absolutly gross so I am asking you to help me come up with a cheap and easy side dish (other than greenbean casserole, someone else is making that)
Any good recipes are welcome!
How about a fruit salad?
My mother’s recipe (quick, easy and no cooking involved):
Bananas
Apples
Oranges
Whipped cream
Marshmallows (optional)
Preparation:
Cut up bananas, apples, oranges and mix in bowl (optional: mix in marshmallows also). Add whipped cream and stir until evenly coated.
When we made it for Thanksgiving, we added strawberries, which were good, but it turned the whipped cream pink.
If you’re not watching your cholesterol (hey, it’s the Holidays), my wife’s family has a cornbread pudding that is wonderful:
2 cans cream-style corn
2 cans whole corn, drained
4 eggs
2 cups sour cream (fat free, is OK)
2 packages Jiffy Corn Bread/muffin Mix (or equivalent)
1 stick (quarter pound) butter or margarine
Melt butter/magarine, set aside to cool
Beat eggs on large bowl
Into eggs, mix together butter/margarine, corn, sour cream
When thoroughly mixed, stir in Cornbread/muffin mix
bake at 350° until set (usually 45 minutes)

They have EVERYTHING from simple, church-dinner kind of stuff to exotic fare such as Lobsters Thermidor and Coq a Vin.

I’ve been away at the auto-da-fé.
Auto-da-fé? What’s an auto-da-fé?
It’s what you oughtta not do, but you do anyway!”
This is what I always bring to church potluck dinners:
2 cans chicken broth
1-1/2 cups rice
2 small cans sliced mushrooms
1 jar marinated artichoke hearts
Drain the mushrooms. Don’t drain the artichokes but you might want to cut them into smaller pieces. Put the rice and broth in a large pot. Add the mushrooms and artichokes. Bring to a boil. Turn the heat down, cover and simmer for twenty minutes. Voila!
I thought of a clever new sig line last night, but I forgot it when I woke up this morning.
2 cans of niblet corn, the kind with the green and red peppers in it, drained
8oz cream cheese.
Warm the cr. cheese up a little in the microwave, add the corn, mix well and back at 375 until bubbly. (about 20 minutes or so)
If you need more, just double it.
It’s SO good.
or you could bake it…
How about scalloped onions?
Slice up 2 onions really thin add 2 tbs water and microwave until tender - stir occasionally - probably 5-7 min.
then zap about 2 tbs butter until melted, mix in 2 tbs four, a tsp parsley, 1/2 a tsp dry mustard, salt, and pepper.
then blend in a cup of milk, zap it for 2 min, then stir. If it hasn’t thickened yet, microwave for another min, then stir again. Keep doing this in 30-60 second intervals until it thickens.
Pour it over the onions and mix. Spread 3/4 c. shredded cheese over and zap 2-3 min at half power and you’re done.
