I got my Better Baker Gourmet
Bowl Maker (both the 3" and the 5") sizes. I am so impressed with
these. The 5 inch one is much larger than I thought. It is the perfect
size to make cornbread and beans. I plan to use my favorite Jiffy
cornbread and my and cooking pinto beans in my crockpot. (There is a
recipe on Cookschoice site if
you don't have a favorite recipe.)
The idea of meatloaf bowls with mashed potatoes sounds great too but again
I have my favorite recipe for meatloaf (Ann Lander's Meatloaf Recipe) and
since I don't care for mashed potatoes will substitute scalloped potatoes
instead. What a concept - use your favorite recipes and make them more
fun. The choices are really unlimited. Has anyone else tried the Better
Baker Bowl Maker? If so what combinations did you use. I know something
chocolate will in the near future. I can hardly wait to try it.
Both sizes (3 inch and 5 inch )are heavy duty pans and are coated with a
non-stick surface. The 5 inch pan is plenty big enough to make a meal.
Nancy
ANN LANDER'S MEATLOAF
2 lbs. ground round steak
2 eggs
1-1/2 c. bread crumbs
3/4 c. ketchup (I use chili sauce)
1 tsp. Accent (I leave this out)
1/2 c. warm water
1 pkg. Lipton onion soup mix
Mix thoroughly. Put into loaf pan, cover with 2 strips of bacon, if you
like that flavor. Pour over all one (8 ounce) can tomato sauce*. Bake one
hour at 350 degrees, serves six.
* Instead of using tomato sauce I use chili sauce but I would leave off
the ketchup or chili sauce on top when making this in the Better Baker
Bowl Maker.

Re: Easiest and best macaroni and cheese. This recipe appeared
about a week ago, has anyone else made it? I see someone said they did and
it was dry.
Thanks, Boots in Va.
Boots, the recipe sounds very good to me. I see no ingredients in the
recipe that would tend to make “a sauce.” The milk is taken up by the dry
macaroni. If the cheese had been the Velveeta type, then possibly some
sauce would have formed. I plan to try the recipe as is but maybe in a
deep dish rather than a shallow, oblong dish. Peggy NELA
I made this several times and used a round casserole dish.
The secret is sharp cheddar cheese.

I found this interesting article about Diet tips for diabetics with kidney

Gramaj
To Millie in MO (5/13/07) regarding the
Triple
Chocolate Mess recipe. I have only used my 4-quart 1970's model
crockpot to make this, so it is difficult to know just how to tell you to
do it. Mine came up about 3/4ths eep in the pot. I would guess that in a
6-quart it will be quite a bit thinner than that. You probably are going
to have to experiment with the recipe and adjust accordingly. I will give
you some of the tips that were given me, and REALLY hope it helps you
enjoy the recipe. One thing to remember, crockpots differ greatly in high
and low temperatures. (You sorta have to know whether yours cooks too hot,
or too low and adjust from there.)
Here are some of the tips that were passed on to me: The cooking time used
by most of the cooks was 6 hours on Low. But that mostly seemed to be with
the older crockpots. Some of the newer ones, particularly Rivals, seemed
to scorch and burn so had to be watched more carefully and cooked in less
time. The final consistency you are looking for is "cakey" toward the
sides and bottom where it cooks and a bit more "pudding-y" in the middle
and top. The top will be slightly moist. If your lid collects water that
can drop down on it, put a paper towel under the lid to absorb it.
To tell if it is done, the outside rim of the cake will feel firm and may
even be pulling away from the side of the pot when its done. (This is the
part that sometimes burns and scorches in the real hot cookers, so if
yours cooks hot, start checking at 3 hours, and then check often up to 4-5
hours until you think it is done.) Toothpick test will not work because
the recipe is suppose to be "gooey", but not "soupy."
Again, I would recommend a trial run so you can adjust the recipe to you
and your crockpot. Just remember, since you can dip it out with a spoon,
you are not likely to lose the whole recipe no matter what. I would make
it one day to see how it goes, and ALWAYS refrigerate it after the first
day. (You can microwave it later to serve it warm.) It is excellent hot or
cold with ice cream, whipping cream, whipped topping, etc. I DO wish you
luck!

I like to take canned crescent dinner rolls, separate individually
and then cut each one in half. Wrap a little smokie in each one and bake
in oven as directed on biscuit can until browned. Good served with syrup
or mustard - depending upon the time of day in which you plan to serve
them.
Susana in Louisiana
For Kathy Clark
Roll the little smokies in crescent roll dough, cut each crescent
in half. Add a small piece of cheese. Bake according to crescent roll
directions
Dawn in SW GA
Kathy Clark is SW Kansas asked
Does anyone have any good ideas for using little smokies besides putting
them in bar-b-que sauce?
When our grandchildren were small and would eat a meal with us, they
always wanted mac and cheese.
One day Grandpa (my husband Jim) decided it was time for a change and
cooked this one up for them. They never asked for mac and cheese again and
still today, with the oldest grandchild, 20 and the youngest 13, they
still ask for "Grandpa's pasta". We don't measure anything, just put in as
much as you like, to your taste,
and depending on the amount of pasta you use. Also, this one keeps well
for a couple days in the fridge. . . in fact, it is better the next day
since the smoky flavor of the smoked porkies is more evident.
Grandpa's Pasta
Slowly sauté onions, green or red peppers, celery (all diced).
Add smoked porkies (cocktail wieners).
Add diced tomatoes and/or spaghetti sauce.
Let simmer on low for 15-20 minutes.
Optional: Italian seasoning to taste
Cook Pasta in salted water until al dente; drain.
(Pasta Nuggets or Bowtie is very good for the pasta.)
Add the onion mixture.
Optional: Sprinkle top with grated cheese (mozzarella, Italian blend,
etc.) when serving.
Hope you enjoy this one as much as our grandkids do. . .and we love it
also.
Nancy, thanks for all your hard work putting your Newsletter together.
It's a highlight of my day. I've saved hundreds of the recipes and hope I
live long enough to try at least 50% of them (^_^).
And Tona in Bama, I don't bypass ANY of your recipes. I'm still waiting
for that cookbook!! Also, enjoyed your Bio and the picture of your lovely
family. It's so nice to put a face to the name of e-mail friends.

Sally in PA
In the 13 May newsletter Kathy Clark in SW Kansas was looking for
different ways to use 'Lil Smokies, other than with BBQ. When I
could still eat them (can no longer eat them per Dr. orders), since I live
alone, I used to buy the little sausage instead of the larger ones and
would use them in the mornings with my breakfast. You can use take a few
of them, wrap in a paper towel, place on a microwaveable plate and warm
them in the microwave for several seconds and either eat them with your
eggs, eat with biscuits (i.e., Pigs in Blankets) or cut them in half and
add into a casserole (such as a Hash Brown Potatoes Casserole). Just use
as any other sausage. Hope one of these gives you some ideas.
Oma in LA (Lower Alabama)
CATHY CLARK~ LITTLE SMOKIES
Cathy, one way to use those little smokies is to fix a skillet breakfast
with them. I just make this and no measurements are necessary because that
is the way I cook and you can too.
Take a package of hash browns of any kind and brown them with the little
smokies chopped up in them. I prefer the hash browns that have the onion
and green peppers chopped up in them. IF they don't come that way you can
chop up your own and brown them along with the potatoes and smokies.
You can scramble eggs into the hot potatoes or leave eggs out...whichever
way you prefer. AT the end of cooking them thoroughly sprinkle any amount
of shredded cheese on top and put the lid on the skillet until the cheese
melts.
Another thing that you can do with the little smokies is to make baked
beans and stir in some chopped up green peppers (mangos) and shopped up
little smokies and bake in the oven as directed by your baked bean recipe.
The smokies and green peppers give the baked beans a zipped up taste.
Bette~Indiana
To Dee in SIL wanting the ideas and recipes for the 50Th anniversary in
the 5/13 newsletter from Dawn in SW GA is the punch recipe that we had at
our daughters wedding and it was delicious. What we did when we made the
ice rings we put fruit in the ring, you can use strawberries, raspberries,
blueberries, or any other fruit that you can think of.
If I remember correctly Tona in Bama had a recipe for Unstuffed Stuffed
Cabbage. That might not have been the recipes name. She had cooked beef,
cabbage and other ingredients, in layers in a casserole dish, and I am
looking for that recipe so we can have it. I thought that I had copied it
but now I can not find it. I would appreciate if she could post it again
or if someone could. Thank you.
I hope that all women had a great Mother's Day. Truly every woman in
someway is a mother figure to a niece, grandchild, a child in your
neighborhood or what every combination that works out. I know that I have
been a role model to grandchildren and even as a Girl Scout leader.
Everyone have a great day. Nancy and 4 legged associates take care and
stay safe.

For Barb in N Ca....blue punch can be made from green (lime)
Jell-O/dyed water and yellow (lemon) Jell-O/dyed water and if you don't

For Kathy Clark in SW Kansas--wanting ideas for using leftover "Little
Smokie" sausages...
I make "Pigs in a Blanket" with them at Christmas!
Open 1 tube of regular refrigerated biscuits, cut each biscuit in fourths.
Wrap one piece around 1 smokie sausage and bake at 375 degrees--I'll have
to guess at the time---just keep an eye on the first batch, noting the
time it takes them to turn golden brown. The sausages would also be good
diced and added to scrambled eggs! Hope this helps!
Grammi Linda in Tifton
For Kathy Clark in Kansas, (5/13/07 Newsletter) looking for little smokies
ideas. Kathy, I haven't been on the list but a few months so I do not know
if this is a repeat recipe to the list. If not, I have used Pillsbury's
cocktail weiners recipe, substituting little smokies for years. You can
make them up so fast, freeze any you don't use and have them available in
the freezer when you are craving a "sausage roll". We always have them
when the family visits.

Lil Smokies Rolls
1 (8 oz.) can Pillsbury® Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
24 Lil Smokies
Heat oven to 375°F. Grease cookie sheet. (Actually, I don't grease it,
just use an Air Bake Cookie Sheet.) Unroll dough; separate into 8
triangles. Cut each triangle into 3 smaller triangles. Place a Lil Smokie
on shortest side of each triangle; roll up to opposite point. Place, point
side down, on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375°F. for 12 minutes or until
deep golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve with
mustard if desired.
Makes 24.
RE : For Kathy Clark is SW Kansas
Does anyone have any good ideas for using little smokies besides
putting them in bar-b-que sauce?
Kathy, we use those little smokies a lot. Jerry will slice them to add to
omelettes or fry them up to put on biscuits. We also put them in boiled
cabbage or use them instead of wieners for kraut. I have sliced them and
added to cheese dip. I put them in chilli. You can make little pigs in a
blanket with them. Wrap them with bacon and throw on the grill. Put them
on shishkabobs with different veggies. Slice them up on pizza. We have
even made mini corndogs with them.
I add smokies to baked beans, too!!!!

Put the dry cake mix into a bowl and add 1 can diet pop. DO NOT ADD
ANYTHING ELSE TO THIS MIX.
Mix well and bake at the temp the cake mix box suggests. I use a 9x13 cake
pan. Cool and enjoy with fruit and cool whip.
examples: white cake with orange diet pop ... served with mandarin orange
and topped with diet cool whip.
chocolate cake with diet coke pop...served with any kind of fruit (or not)

FLAVORED MARSHMALLOW POPCORN BALLS
Melt 6 tablespoons butter. Add 3 cups miniature marshmallows and stir
until melted. Blend 1/2 of 3-ounce package (3 tablespoons) raspberry jello
or whatever flavor you would like depending on what color you would like.
Pour over 3 quarts popped unsalted popcorn. Mix well with buttered hands
and form into balls. I usually mix with a spoon first as the jello mixture
is quite hot and seems to be easier to mix throughout.

Hi Nancy,
I think you are the greatest! Did you ever get an answer on how to remove
grease spots out of sweat shirts. If so what newsletter was it posted?
Thanks, Virtree
Karen T - I would try Awesome cleaner for your mat. I have only used it on
our stained fabrics and doggy spots on our carpet. It does not leave an
outline and has always done the trick. You will want to use some sort of
sponge or rag to clean after applying the Awesome cleaner.
Good luck. Linda
