Milkmaid's Recipe Box

FOOD, FOOD, FOOD! I'm such a FARMER at heart-- even a CALF knows that so much in life is about the FOOD! (A bit of a "bio" about me can be found way down near the bottom.)

You can find a recipe index entitled "Labels" down along the right side, starting below the picture of the farm. Then, below the "Label" list are pictures of some of my old "standbys"-- click on their picture and it should take you to the recipe.

You will see no advertising on my blog; this means there is no monetary benefit for me having "visitors" or "joiners"-- having said that, if you do wish to JOIN my blog, you can do so by scrolling w-a-y down to near the bottom of the page...

Toasty Cheese Bake*

We first made this in August of 1993....

INGREDIENTS:

  • 16 slices white bread (or very light/fluffy wheat bread)
  • Butter
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • 2 Tbsp. prepared mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 and 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
DIRECTIONS:

  1. Toast bread, butter both sides.  Set aside.
  2. Cook meat, onion, celery, prepared mustard and salt/pepper until meat is brown and the onion and celery is tender.  If there is visible fat in the pan, pour it off.
  3. Grease or spray 9x13" pan/dish. 
  4. Alternate layers of toast, meat mixture and cheese. 
  5. Pour mixture of eggs, milk and dry mustard over the top.  Bake uncovered for about 40 minutes at 350-degrees.

*doubled this recipe which was contributed by Irene Zoromski and found in the Thorp Centennial Christian Women's Cookbook (1893 - 1993).  This is a thick 520 page recipe book and so full of  'GOOD'ness with recipes for cooking, baking, canning, freezing, pickling, jelly-making, etc. I found this book in 1993 through a write-up in our AGRI-VIEW farm paper-- it sounded like a winner at $15, so I ordered it through the mail, and I am glad that I did.
