I Feel A Need To Share This Recipe With You

I know anybody who lived in the midwest for a while are feelin this recipe

loleo

loleo

xp

;_;

aside from the refrigerated rolls I could go for one those about now.

I think I need to open a restaurant that serves only these

oh
my
GOD

WANT

btw I have a couple of church cookbooks full of this sort of thing; if the laffs keep up I'll post a couple

poop in a blanket, nice

oh
my
GOD

WANT

haha I know, it's the native midwestern genius - how can I improve this Snickers bar? I know: wrap it in dough

AND THEN GLAZE IT SENSELESS FUCK YEAH

The BAKING is an integral part of the midwesternness of this. In the South, they'd fry that bad boy in bacon grease.

wait, now I want that, too

i wonder if my iowa boyfriend has had this.

snicker sic(k)

at John's Expatriate Midwesterner Buffet we serve these alongside variations on the recipe including 3 Muskateers, Milky Way and Zagnut

I seriously was just talking about something like this last night. I heard it a couple of years ago on the small-town local radio morning show where I grew up.

More recipes here.

My mom also had a recipe that consisted of covering apple slices in cinnamon and sugar, wrapping them in crescent roll dough, then baking them with sugar, butter, and a can of Mountain Dew. It actually is really good but so terribly wrong.

THIS THREAD IS A WONDERLAND

Ever had a deep-fried Mars bar, J0hn?

oh my God joygoat your mom is my new hero, lol'ing so hard @ Mountain Dew Cinnamon Apple Crescent Bakes

I have passed on the deep fried candy bars to date. Dan's right, the joy of the midwestern recipe is largely in "then put in in the oven for half an hour." That way you can heat the house a little in the process!

I feel you are a skot at heart, J0hn.

This thread is OTM.

Snicker Buns sounds like something a person would be called by their mate until they just had one too many.

i feel conflicted. i'm midwest 4 life, but we were jewish and my mom was kind of granola, so no snicker buns, 7 layer dip, wonderbread grilled cheese w/campbell's tomato soup, or kraft mac n' cheese around my house.

grilled cheese with campbell's tomato is the most comforting lunch known to man

awesome.

fav midwest bars: SNICKERDOODLES.

real talk.

or wait....nevermind SCOTCHEROOS

that's the actual real talk, altho snickerdoodles are good cookies.

In the South, they'd fry that bad boy

I know a dude that did this!!! He said it was the greatest thing he had ever tasted!

His granddad also made paint thinner moonshine so take that as you will.

oh my God Euler those two run so deep

oh shit

OH SHIT

I think they served Euler's recipes in my high school cafeteria.

that said however it'll be a while before I'm hungry enough to try Brunch a la Ramon

yeah brunch a la ramon was my breaking point

OMG Johhn Dee that is the first time I have EVER seen the word 'oleo' outside of a crossword puzzle.

i would happily eat all these foods

it's the first time i've seen oleo outside of a crossword puzzle or a jazz real book.

Dude M@tt that TACO DIP is like one of two "family recipes" my friend has!

I'll list them:

KIUCZA FAMILY CHIP DIP

1 can chili
1 brick Velveeta

Melt together in microwave, then stir & dip chips in it. ("So salty and good!" - friend)

KIUCZA FAMILY POLISH FRY-UP

1 can sauerkraut
1 U-shaped Kielbasa, cut into chunks
1 box frozen pirogies
1/2 cube butter

Boil pirogies, then fry them in a par with all other ingredients until they are hot enough for your liking. ("My dad is Polish, so he's really proud of this recipe." - friend)

I had these about once a week when I lived with her.

For many years the receptionist at our company (320 lbs. easy) made her speciality: hot dogs cooked in Coca-Cola. Now THAT's Wisconsin country-ass cookin'.

Hey I returned to ILE to post that!

Velveeta + can of chili is a pretty great one.

LOLOLOL "Pizza Cups"!

Every time there is a lull in a conversation this week, I am going to start going off about PIZZA CUPS!

OK if these are Midwest church potluck recipes, wai no SMELT FRY?

"brunch a la ramon"

i would never eat it, but i plan to say it every day for the rest of my life.

Bubble Pizza

1 to 1 1/2 lb. hamburger
Onion
2 tubes refrigerated biscuits
1 (15 oz.) can pizza sauce
Green pepper
Mushrooms
2 c. Cheddar cheese
1 to 2 c. Mozzarella cheese

The language barrier renders this recipe ABSO FUCKING LUTELY BAFFLING to me, mainly becauase what in the fuck is refrigerated biscuit!? I have to assume this is something to do with the savory thing, and not cookie dough. Please no not cookie dough. This thread is making me want to go into a diabetic coma.

essentially a more savoury scone

I'm sure there must be a pizza recipe using a graham cracker crust out there somewhere.

No, but I'm pretty sure there could be pizza with a lefse base.

jesus, these are all like 3 kilocals per serving

this -

"Mix Jello and water. When cool, blend in salad dressing"

That is srsly some type of culinary Armageddon.

at our office potluck someone brought bacon wrappred LIL' SMOKIES IN BBQ....crock pot heaven

i wanna go to a graduation reception pot-luck in someone's 2 car garage so bad right now

i've been trying to remember what this thread was called so i could post this recipe from the Grant F0rk Community Church (IL) cookbook (my husband's grandmother's)

7-Up Salad:

* two cups hot 7-Up
* one cup mayonnaise
* one container cottage cheese
* one can pineapple chunks
* green food coloring

Mix and serve.

food coloring is crewsh to midwestern cooking, my mom has like 20 different colors

From the Wesleyan Church of Millsboro (DE) cookbook, I bring you:

Chipped Beef Roll-Ups
3 oz cream cheese
1 T. chives
Dash paprika
Chipped beef

Mix cream cheese, chives, and paprika. Spread a thick layer on chipped beef slice. Roll up as for a jellyroll. Chill. Cut rolls into short lengths and serve on toothpicks.

My grandmother submitted a similar recipe called "Beef 'n Olive Dip" but that recipe, like every other of the about fifty recipes my grandmother submitted to this book, were word-for-word plagiarized from a Kraft cookbook she owns. She didn't even bother to change the brand name recommendations, submitted such recipes as "Pillsbury Crescent Dippers" or "Cheese 'n Parsley Pinwheel," which calls for "Pillsbury refrigerated quick cresecent dinner rolls" and "shredded Kraft cheddar cheese."

There are eight recipes for pone bread in this thing, which is probably only funny if you are from Delaware.

I think of it as a basic tenet of this kind of midwestern cookery to treat branded, packaged grocery foods as primary ingredients that grow on trees

yes
also "vegetarian pizza" is cold and always involves raw broccoli and cream cheese

Holy shit, here are two more recipes from my grandmother that call for "Pillsbury refrigerated quick crescent dinner rolls." But the bottom of the page says, "Great Spirit, help me never to judge another untilI have walked two weeks in his moccasins," so maybe I should cut the old lady some slack.

Delaware is not midwest. I wasn't sure if this was a thread about o_0 midwest recipes or o_0 church cookbook recipes, so I went with the latter. If that was wrong, you can all go fuck yourselves.

In a loaf pan or 5 cup mold layer peas, tuna and celery in that order.

"in that order" totally makes this.

(It's really time-based, and not regional -- I mean, I think there was a period during the explosion of pre-packaged foods when the rules about what constituted cooking vs. preparing were not really sorted out, and there was no clear call that there was anything weird about recipes that involved combining branded foods into some other thing. I mean, why would there be, necessarily?)

xpost - whoah Jenny I was not trying to say anything about the midwest or Delaware there, as per this addendum, just talking

however this has gotta be my favorite

Brunch a la Ramon

Saute:
1/2 c. onion
1/2 c. green pepper
1 T. butter

Stir in 1 cup of ham (small strips), seasoning packet of Ramen Oriental noodles and 1 cup water; bring to boil. Break up. Add 1 package Ramen noodles; stir until soft. Add 3/4 cup grated cheese. Make indentation in nodles; break eggs into each hole. Sprinkle with extra cheese. Cook 5 to 8 minutes, or until eggs are done.

J0hn D., you are a bad man if you don't devote the rest of your days to finding out who "Ramon" was and how this church mom came to be serving brunch to his specifications.

Oh look, my grandmother submitted "Canadian Bacon Cheeseburgers" recipe, and the first ingredient is 1-8 oz can Pillsbury refrigerated quick crescent dinner rolls.

Nabisco I'm just being silly.

I mean, you can all still go fuck yourselves, but I ain't mad at you.

there there, a cupful of 7-UP Salad (ie hot green mayo and pineapple in a cup ) makes it all better

Did your grandmother go on a game show and win a lifetime supply of crescent rolls, or did she work for Pillsbury, or did she just like pastry and hate baking?

My mother's family's church cookbook is hilarious in this sense because it's both Armenian and semi-midwestern. So you get "lamb brain salad" on one page and tuna casserole on the next.

Also, I could use a Kiucza family fry-up. Maybe I'll subject my roommates to it soon. Although it doesn't really count if it doesn't involve sour cream, IMO.

The only explanation I can think of is that she is kind of kooky. Like none of us were surprised when this came out.

Oh, here is a good one, from Nancy H. (no relation):

Pig Stomach
1 large well cleaned pig stomach
1 1/2 to 2 lbs bulk sausage
1 tsp. black pepper
8 med potatoes, peeled
2 small onions, chopped

Cook potatoes until tender, drain. Cut sausage into small pieces. Add to potatoes. Add diced onions. Add a teaspoon black pepper. Stuff mixture loosely into pig stoamch and close all opening with a big needle and string. Place filled stomach in roasting pan with a small amount of water in pan, cover Bake at 350 for 2 to 2 1/2 hours until golden brown.

Note: This follows four recipes from my grandmother that all involve Pillsbury refrigerated quick crescent dinner rolls. No lie.

HAHAHAHAHA There is a recipe attributed to me in here for HONEY-DIJON HAM. It involves crescent rolls! I WONDER WHO SUBMITTED THIS IN MY NAME????

Holy shit. I have to call my mother.

If that actually involved seasoning beyond "1 tsp black pepper," I'd eat it. (xpost)

xpost - !!! An entire LARGE pig stomach seasoned with no more than one teaspoon of black pepper

I feel like when the only seasoning is a teaspoon of pepper, it's almost less of a recipe and more just a statement of what you're cooking and where you're putting it to cook it

And no salt, which seems kind of indispensable in a potato stuff pig stomach.

Beef and Broccoli

- beef
- broccoli

Place beef in hot pan until nearly cooked. Add broccoli, finish cooking, and serve.

LOL

She submitted two lasagna recipes that use crescent rolls instead of noodles. WTF. If she gets sassy with me at Christmas, I'm calling Pillsbury to snitch on her for copyright infringement.

i thought 4 sure this was gonna be about that cooking with cum website

that recipe, like every other of the about fifty recipes my grandmother submitted to this book, were word-for-word plagiarized from a Kraft cookbook she owns.

Shouldn't that go on the snitching on plagiarists thread??

Dude, E, there are certain phrases that just shouldn't come after the word "that" as if they're common knowledge, and I think you've just found one of them

So as not to dominate this thread and also so as to get some work done, I will leave you with this recipe from Doris R. (no relation), that I think would go well in the 2-car garage graduation parties of the midwest*:

Salad

Small Cool Whip
1 small box vanilla instant pudding
1 16 oz can fruit cocktail in heavy syrup
2 cans mandarin oranges (drained)
1 16 o. can crushed pineapple (drained)
1 small bag of nuts (sliced almonds)

Mix Cool Whip and instant pudding together. Add fruit cocktail mix. Add rest of fruit.

Presumably you just throw the nuts away.

*In Delaware we have carports and prefer to commemorate all occasions with chicken and dumpling dinners at the local fire hall.

Yo, my paternal grandmother's stepsister-in-law invented the Pillsbury Bake-off. The reason that most of these recipes have branded products in them is because they are remixes of Pillsbury or General Mills domestic scientist on-the-box 'hints'.

From Minneapolis c. 1950s, my 100 per cent Swedish great-grandmother Anna Johnson's recipe, which I have just taken from the original handwritten piece of scratch paper in the desk drawer. No church basements for her.

Grandma's Sour Cream Sugar Cookies:

2 sticks 'oleo'
2 cups sugar - white
3 eggs
1 cup sour cream (commercial)
1 tsp. soda - mix in sour cream
3 cups reg. flour
1 tsp nutmeg - mix in flour

(optional - try 1/2 cup more of flour)

Chill and roll out, cut
Bake at 350F until light brown (15-20 mins)
Makes 4 dozen

IMPORTANT NOTE: put in freezer to get very firm or dough is impossible to handle.
MY (Anna's) NOTE: I don't roll out, I pat them out.

at thanksgiving my friend from omaha made "pink stuff" (red jell-o powder + whipped cream + misc. fruits). it tasted like a flintstones push pop!
