If you don't mind all the grease, don't brown the meat, but if you don't 
like so much grease, brown the meat.

To my mind, if you brown the sausage before shaping into balls, the
balls
won't be able to hold their shape, as the meat loses its adhering
properties in the browning process.

As for the grease from the meat, if there is a lot during baking, put
the
baked sausage balls on paper towels to drain; then dump the excess grease
from the baking pan.

I am taking a stab in the dark re this question! Can you choos any
other  biscuit baking mix other than Bisquick? For some reason, I
never had luck  using that product. I  might fix it for Christmas,
now, given the option to first brown up the  sausage. I just did not
care for the idea of using it unbrowned, and  browning does remove
some of that grease!

I have made these lots of times, and I always brown the sausage and
drain.
It makes the sausage balls less greasy.  It will make quite a few,
depending

on size.  I brown the sausage, combine it with the cheese, then add
the Bisquick, sometimes with a little milk.  I have also done these
with Mexican

cheese and they're great that way.  I cool them at dg375 for around
20 minutes.

Another thought.  I made the Andes mint surprise cookies posted here.  They
were amazing, btw! Anyway, the first thought I had when I tried them was
that these would make an amazing basic cookie recipe without the mints as
well.  Very very soft, flavorful, really delicious.  To make them even
better, you could ad a teaspoon of cinnamon, or another flavored extract if
you wanted.  I know the recipe was posted here but if you need it again let
me know and I'll repost.  Amazing cookies, and I plan to try that basic
recipe with all kinds of variations.  Have a wonderful week everyone.

One thing I've noticed with substitutions is that in a cookie recipe
sometimes it does change the texture of your cookies.  Not sure that it
would make the soft cookies harder or anything, but I have noticed a
difference when I've substituted in my favorite recipes.  Just a thought.

[CnD] Crab Rangoon | Sweet Pea's Kitchen

2011-12-19 Thread gail johnson

Crab Rangoon | Sweet Pea's Kitchen

Crab rangoon is a delicious party appetizer stuffed with a cream cheese 
and crab meat filling that are sure to be a hit at your next party or 
get together. Serve these with sweet and sour chicken and egg rolls for 
a delicious Chinese meal. These Chinese dumplings freeze very well. 
Prepare to the deep frying stage and place the unfried crab rangoon on 
a baking sheet and place into the freezer until firm. After firm, 
transfer to a freezer bag. When ready to fry, just place the frozen 
crab rangoon directly into the oil. If you are not a fan of frying, you 
can heat the mixture in the oven and serve as a dip.


Ingredients:

1 (14 ounce) package small wonton wrappers
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon chopped green onions
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 pound crab meat, shredded
1 quart peanut oil for frying
Directions:

Heat oil to 350 degrees F in a large skillet or deep-fryer.

In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese, ginger, green onion, 
parsley, sugar, soy sauce, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and crabmeat.


Place 1 teaspoon of the mixture into the center of each wonton wrapper.
Fold the wonton wrapper over the stuffing to make a triangle. Moisten 
the edges with a little water, and seal.

Fold the two points of the triangle up.
Seal with water.
Place prepared wontons under a slightly moist paper towel until ready 
for frying.


Add 3 or 4 wontons to the hot oil, and cook until golden brown, turning 
once. Set aside on paper towels to drain. Repeat until all wontons have 
been fried.  Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

[CnD] Baked Crab Rangoon Recipe | My Baking Addiction

2011-12-19 Thread gail johnson

Baked Crab Rangoon
Yield: 12 servings
Ingredients:
1 can (6 oz.) white crabmeat, drained and chopped
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons light mayonaise
½ teaspoon Sriracha
2 teaspoons finely slice chives, plus more for garnish
fresh ground pepper to taste
12 won ton wrappers

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a medium bowl, combine crab meat, cream cheese, mayonaise, 
Sriracha, chives, and pepper. Mix until well combined.


3. Place 1 won ton wrapper in each 12 mini muffin cups. The edges of 
the won ton wrappers will extend beyond the mini muffin tin cups and 
may need to be folded slightly. Fill the center of each won ton cup 
with crab mixture.


4. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until edges of cups are golden brown and 
filling is heated through. Garnish with reserved chives.


Notes:
- adapted from Kraft

This recipe does not say anything about folding up the wrappers.  I 
think it will do it themselves that is create a closure.
It has one of my most favorite ingredients in the world Sriracha.  In 
fact I would probably add a pinch more.

[CnD] Crab Rangoon Serious Eats!

2011-12-19 Thread gail johnson

Crab Rangoon

Note: Crab Rangoons can be frozen after step 2. Space them out on a 
rimmed baking sheet and place in the freezer until completely frozen, 
then transfer to a zipper-lock bag. They'll keep for up to three 
months. The 2 teaspoons of chili flakes in this sauce will make it 
moderately spicy. You can adjust the heat level to your taste (or omit 
it entirely).


Ingredientsyield: 6 to 10 as an appetizer (makes 40 to 50 pieces), 
active time 1 hour, total time 1 hour


For the Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce
1/2 cup rice vinegar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons red chile flakes (more or less to taste)
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon corn starch
1/2 cup fresh pineapple chunks or canned chunks, drained

For the Crab Rangoon
8 ounces softened cream cheese
6 ounces picked crab meat (or surimi, cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
6 scallions, whites only, finely sliced (about 1/2 cup)
1 pack square wonton wrappers (preferably yellow), about 40-50 pieces
2 quarts peanut oil
Kosher salt
Procedures
1
Combine vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, chili flakes, and water in a 
small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, whisking to 
combine until sugar is dissolved. Combine remaining tablespoon water 
and corn starch in a small bowl and whisk with a fork to form a slurry. 
Whisk into sauce and bring to a boil. Allow to cool while you form the 
crab rangoon.


2
Combine cream cheese, crab, and scallions in a medium bowl and fold 
with a spatula or your hands until combined. Lay one wonton wrapper out 
on a cutting board (keep the rest under plastic wrap or a damp towel) 
and place a small amount of filling in the center (about 1 1/2 
teaspoons). Moisten the edges with a wet fingertip, the seal by either 
folding it in have in a triangular shape, or by pushing the four edges 
in towards the center to create a four-pointed star. Be careful not to 
allow any air to remain inside as you seal them. Transfer to a large 
plate, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and repeat until all of the 
filling is used.

3
To finish the sauce, add pineapple chunks and puree with an immersion 
blender or by transferring to a standing blender.


4
Heat oil in a wok or Dutch oven to 375°F as registered on an instant 
read thermometer. Carefully add 10 to 12 crab rangoons to the oil. 
Cook, adjust flame to maintain temperature and agitating and flipping 
them constantly with a wire mesh spider until crisp and golden brown, 
about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined bowl to drain, season 
with salt, and serve immediately with sweet and sour sauce.

Re: [CnD] Sausage Balls

2011-12-19 Thread Charles Rivard
My first thought is that if you don't want a lot of grease, use better 
sausage.


Maybe partially browning the sausage will remove some of the grease, but 
because I've never made these, this is merely conjecture.

To my mind, if you brown the sausage before shaping into balls, the
balls
won't be able to hold their shape, as the meat loses its adhering
properties in the browning process.

As for the grease from the meat, if there is a lot during baking, put
the
baked sausage balls on paper towels to drain; then dump the excess 
grease

from the baking pan.

I have made these lots of times, and I always brown the sausage and
drain.
It makes the sausage balls less greasy.  It will make quite a few,
depending

on size.  I brown the sausage, combine it with the cheese, then add
the Bisquick, sometimes with a little milk.  I have also done these
with Mexican

Re: [CnD] Meat ball recipe that calls for jelly

2011-12-19 Thread Penny Reeder
Hi Chasity,

He probably used the recipe that includes grape jelly in the meatball
sauce.  You mix together a jar of grape jelly and a bottle of chili
sauce (near the ketchup in the supermarket.  You heat this and allow
the cooked meatballs to simmer in it, often in a crock pot, but the
stove top or even a 375-degree oven for a half hour or so -- will work
as well.  You can use frozen meatballs or follow any standard meatball
recipe.

I've also seen recipes for these sweet-and-sour cocktail meatballs
that call for a can of jellied cranberry sauce and a bottle of chili
sauce.

Here's a relatively complicated recipe for these meatballs:


  Title: CRANBERRY COCKTAIL MEATBALLS
 Categories: Appetizers
  Yield: 12 servings

  2 lb Chuck, ground
  2 ea Eggs
1/3 c  Catsup
  2 T  Soy sauce
1/4 t  Pepper
 12 oz Chili sauce
  1 T  Lemon juice
  1 c  Corn flakes, crumbs
1/3 c  Parsley, fresh, minced
  2 T  Onion, green and minced
  1 ea Garlic clove, pressed
 16 oz Cranberry sauce, whole ber
  1 T  Brown sugar

  Combine first 9 ingredients ina large bowl; stir well.  Shape meat
  mixture into 1-inch balls. Place in an ungreased 15x10x1 jellyroll
  pan. Bake uncovred at 500F for 8 - 10 minutes. Drain meatballs and
  transfer to a chafing dish, and keep warm.  Combine cranberry sauce
  with remaining ingredients in a sauce pan.  Cook over medium heat
  until bubbly, stirring occasionally; pour over meatballs.  Serve warm.
   Yield: 5 dozen

And, here's a recipe that combines grape jelly and chili sauce that I
found using Google:

Ingredients
3 -5 lbs frozen cooked small meatballs or 3 -5 lbs Little Smokies sausages

1. In a pot combine the grape jelly with the chili sauce; add in the
meatballs and simmer
for about 45 minutes uncovered or until the sauce has thickened.


Enjoy, and merry Christmas!

tofu roughly with a fork in a bowl, and mix in the mushroom mixture, 
bread crumbs, spinach, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning; stir 
until combined. If mixture seems crumbly, stir in an egg.
Pour enough pasta sauce into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to 
coat the bottom. Fill each shell with about 1 1/2 tablespoon of 
filling, and place into the dish in a single layer. Spoon remaining 
sauce on top of shells. If there's any remaining filling, scatter that 
over the sauce, and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top. Cover 
the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is hot and set and the 
cheese is melted and bubbling, about 30 minutes.

3/4 c. butter

Al Dente means to cook pasta till it is not quite tender.  You leave it a 
little on the chewy side, usually because the pasta is going into a recipe 
where it will get some more cooking and you don't want it to be mushy.

Re: [CnD] Cheesy Stuffed Shells Recipe - Allrecipes.com

2011-12-19 Thread Nicole Massey
It's Italian for "To the tooth." It means the pasta still has some
resistance and isn't cooked into a soft mass with no resistance when you
bite into it. Al Dente pasta should resist very slightly when you bite into
it, so it still has a bit of body.

Here's a test. Cook some spaghetti. Every minute or so after it gets soft
enough to stir, remove a strand and throw it against the fridge. When the
strand sticks then the pasta should be al dente, and that is the level it's
"supposed" to be cooked for proper pasta.

In this recipe, do you use evaporated milk, or sweetened, condensed
milk.  They are usually not interchangeable.  Thanks much.

   6-minute microwave fudge.

2 12-ounce packages of chocolate chips  or your choice of chips

1 can Eagle Brand milk

1  seven ounce jar of marshmallow cream.

2 teaspoons of vanilla

chopped nuts are optional.

Put chips, marshmallow cream, and condensed milk in a bowl together and
stir it around well.

Microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes. Remove, add two teaspoons of
vanilla and, if desired, chopped  nuts, stirring very well.

Return to microwave for three more minutes on HIGH.

 While it's being heated, butter bottom and sides of a 9 by 13 inched
pan,very well.  When the microwaving has finished, pour the microwave
fudge evenly into it.

For thicker fudge, use a 9 by 9 inched pan.  Put  pan in refrigerator 
for

several hours or over night then take out and cut in squares.  Enjoy!


 Blessings,  Katie
