How about a simple recipe that is actually surprisingly good?

Take some mild white fish (Swai works perfectly for this) put it in an aluminum disposable pan. Dump a cup of salsa on top of it, cover with foil, place on grill for 15 minutes.

This is obviously very simple, but you will be surprised at how good it actually tastes. I have found that medium salsa works great for the flavor. A mild salsa does not have enough spice and the end result is a tad bland.

Homemade chicken & noodles anyone?

2 chicken breasts covered in water, boil for 20-30 minutes (until cooked thoroughly) then remove chicken from remaining water and let cool.

Add 1 package of grandma's egg noodles and simmer (stirring every 10 minutes or so) for about 1 hour. Gradually add 1 can of Chicken Broth to noodles. (They will soak up the water/broth as the expand.) MAKE SURE THEY DO NOT DRY OUT!

Tear chicken into bite size pieces and dump into noodles. Add salt & pepper to your tastes. Heat for 15 minutes or so and it is ready to eat.

ETA: Wouldn't you know it! WalMart has the egg noodles!

Now for some really good meatloaf!

1 lb ground beef
1 cup medium cracker crumbs (1 package of Ritz Crackers is about perfect!)
2 beaten eggs
1 8-oz can tomato sauce
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tsp salt
dash thyme
dash marjoram

Combine all ingredients into a mixing bowl and mash it all together. Shape mixture in a loaf in shallow baking dish. ( I use a glass bread pan)
Cover with a thin layer of ketchup.
Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
After one hour take it out of the oven and let it set for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

Anyone for Salisbury Steak? This may be a bit bland for some, but I really love this one.

1lb. hamburger
2 eggs, well beaten
3 slices dry toast (crumble it up really well!)
1/2 cup chopped white onion
1 medium potato (grated)
1 tsp Salt
2 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup

Mix well and shape into 6 patties. Fry in oil to brown both sides. Place in casserole dish and cover with 2 cans of Cream of Mushroom soup mixed with 1 can water (mix the soup and water BEFORE putting in dish!)
Cover and bake at 350 for 1 hour or until gravy is slightly brown.

Because according to other sub forum mentalities around here, "This is a GUN site, not a cooking site..." I personally do not care to put anymore of my recipes in the OT forum. Plus, I personally banned myself from posting there again until a certain SOMEBODY apologizes to me for not replying to any of my requests in PM and failing to respond in a timely fashion (if at all) to a post or two. No. I aint butt-hurt over it, I just want a reason to stay out of OT and this will work until he apologizes to me, but then I will have to think of another reason to stay out of OT since it got me in trouble in the first place.

But in all honesty, do you really want to post any recipes in a forum that is filled with TFH and DQs? They will find a way to corrupt it...

A few thousand rules about the particular AMISH/FRIENDSHIP bread recipe that we received...

We just completed this, it was not bad, but our timeline was also a day or two later because we kinda lost track. Only my persistence even got it made tonight.

Instead of vanilla pudding we used butterscotch. It seemed to turn out okay. Maybe cut back the cooking by about 10 minutes though. (glass pan)

I forgot to add, IF you follow this recipe then when you put your batter in one of the loaf pans, put a small thin layer of it down, spread it out, then dust slightly with the sugar/cinnamon mix and then put another layer of batter on top of THAT and then dust again. The result is a nice sugary crust through the middle of the bread. I THINK that is how my sister managed to do it anyways. I did not ask her.

For the 15th year, we will cook the Thanksgiving turkey, stuffed, in a cooking bag breast side down on Wednesday, the day before. Allow it to cool and stand in the juice unopened overnight on the counter. Do not open the bag while it's hot.

The entire turkey draws the gravy back into the meat as it cools. It tastes like the turkey lunchmeat you buy in cello packs. Never a dry bird.

Always cooked my turkey that way, But never let it sit in the juice overnight will have to try it.
