Recipe Exchange Loot

A year or so ago I participated in an e-mail recipe exchange and just today I found this file in my junk box...However, these two recipes don't sound like junk to me. So, try them when the mood strikes.

Barbeque Meatballs

2 lb. ground beef ¼ tsp. garlic powder
¾ cup milk 1 tsp. salt
1 cup quick oats ¼ tsp. pepper
1 egg 1 tsp. chili powder
½ cup chopped onion

Mix all ingredients together. Shape into balls. Place in 9x13 baking pan.

Make sauce by combining:

1 cup ketchup ¼ cup chopped onion
¾ brown sugar ¼ tsp. garlic powder

Stir well until sugar is dissolved; pour over meatballs and bake for 1 hour in a 350 degree oven.





French Onion Bread

1 pkg. dry yeast 1 tsp. salt
¼ c water 2 Tbsp. parmesan cheese, grated
1 envelope onion soup mix 2 Tbsp. shortening or veg. oil
2 c water 6 c all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. sugar corn meal

Soften dry yeast in ¼ cup warm water. Combine soup mix and 2 cups water; simmer, covered, 10 minutes. Add sugar, salt, cheese, and shortening; stir. Cool to lukewarm.

Stir in 2 cups flour; beat well. Stir in yeast. Add enough of remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough. Turn out on floured surface. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Knead until smooth. Place in lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease surface. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Shape in 2 long loaves, tapering ends. Place on greased baking sheet sprinkled with corn meal. Make diagonal cuts onto top of loaves, 1/8 to ¼ inch deep.

Cover; let double (about 1 hour). Bake at 375 degrees. For 20 minutes, or until done. Makes 2 loaves.
