Dilly Beans

By azandersens
This is my mom's famous recipe for canned "dilly beans". She uses fresh dill grown in her backyard. You'll like them if you like pickles. There is never a Dunaway function without them. Wash fresh green beans and snip off the ends.  Put 1 clove garlic and  1 head dill (when it reaches the seed stage) in a pint-sized jar, then pack the jar tight with as many beans that will fit. Brine: 2 c. vinegar 2 c. water 1/4 c. salt - no iodine! 1/4 t. cayenne pepper Heat brine & warm lids. Cold pack in water bath & boil for 10 minutes. If you're like me and have never canned before, that may have sounded like Chinese, but I'm posting it for my canning guru friend. I think someday I'll get there. I would guess there would be a time to wait to make sure the pickling process was complete, but I don't know how long that would be.

Ghoulosh

By azandersens
I know, I'm breaking my own rule about no cream soups, but it doesn't seem so bad next to the high fructose corn syrup feast that happens right after. I love this meal because it is yummy, hearty and one dish. I served it with some fresh bread. Yum! 1 1/2 pounds ground beef 1 pound ground pork sausage salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice (I didn't use this in mine because I didn't have any, and I was afraid it might be too weird for my kids. Maybe next year?) 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken stock 1 1/2 cups long grain and wild rice mix 1 sugar pumpkin 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup 2 (4 ounce) cans mushroom stems and pieces, drained 2 (14.5 ounce) cans French cut green beans In a large skillet over medium heat, mix ground beef and sausage.
