Aunt Mel's Baked Beans
In honor of spring time & cookouts, I am posting the most fabulous recipe for baked beans ever. This is from my "aunt," Mel Andrews, and I love it!
Aunt Mel's Baked Beans
1 sm can lima beans
1 reg-sized can kidney beans
1 lg can pork-n-beans
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c vinegar
1/2 c ketchup
1 tsp mustard
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
3 med onions, chopped and fried in bacon fat
Mix all ingredients and bake @ 325 for 1 hr.
**Note: I do not fry my onions in bacon fat. I fry them in a little extra virgin olive oil instead. Also, this serves at least 8-10.

Ma, the Meatloaf!
Every single time I make meatloaf, Barry always breaks out this line by Will Ferrell's character in Wedding Crashers. I'm making it tonight, and I've decided to name this recipe after it! For all of you Asheboro natives, this is another of Ms. Ruth's recipes, so you know it's great!
Ma, the Meatloaf!
1 lb lean ground beef (I'm using 96/4)
1 egg, well beaten
1/2 c fine, dry bread crumbs
1 1/2 c milk
3/4 c diced sharp cheddar cheese
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp celery salt
1/4 tsp paprika
1 med onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
Mix well and turn into loaf pan. Bake 1 hr @ 350.
Note: I'm sure substituting ground turkey or ground chicken for the beef would work as well.

Pimiento Cheese
Every true southern girl knows a good pimiento cheese recipe is a must-have! This one is wonderful...it has a little kick, but it is sure to get raves from those who try it. I'm making it to have for sandwiches, but it works great as an appetizer w/ gourmet crackers. You can also hollow out a bread bowl, bake it til it's bubbly and serve with fresh bread cubes. Any way you make it, it's delicious!
Pimiento Cheese
1 10 oz can Rotel Original, drained
1 cup mayo (I'm using the olive-oil based mayo...it works fine, but fat-free and other low-fat mayos do not work well. They make it too watery)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt
16 oz (or more, if needed) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 4 oz jar chopped pimientos, drained
Stir together first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in cheese and pimientos.

Chicken Tetrazzini
Watch out, Chicken Tetrazzini is really good (please see video below from the Maury Povich show)--just ask Paul--he love it!!!!!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RZxbKvD1YQ
Chicken Tetrazzini
8 oz. spaghetti (broken in half)--cook according to directions
1 can mushroom pieces
1 onion, thinly sliced
1/4 c margarine
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
3-4 c chopped chicken
1 clove minced garlic
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 c flour
2 c chicken broth
1/2 c cream of mushroom soup
1/2 c skim milk
1/2 c grated cheese (I use Parmesan)
Saute mushrooms, onions and garlic in margarine (you can also do this in a little bit of olive oil instead, which is what I opt to do). Add flour and seasonings. Stir well. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add broth and soup over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened and bubbly. Add milk and stir until smooth. Stir in meat and spaghetti, drain. Bake @ 350 for 20 minutes uncovered in a 9x13 dish. Sprinkle with cheese, bake 5 minutes.
**Note: This recipe serves 10-12, so you could get 2 casseroles out of it by splitting it & baking in 2 smaller pans. It freezes well, so you could even save one for later!
**Disclaimer: I cannot be held responsible if anyone uses this recipe to steal your man!
