Dilly Beans

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.

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.
