Fried Mushrooms

Place the deep frying pan containing lard (see how old it is?) on the gas. (see how old it is? although I do have a gas stove)
Take half a pound of middle-sized mushrooms . Cut off the sandy base of the
stem. Wash the very carefully and dry them with a cloth.
Dip the mushrooms in batter composed of a beaten egg, three spoonfuls of
flour and enough beer to make a cream which is fluid but thick enough to coat the mushrooms.
Dip the musrooms in this paste, and throw the one by one into the smoking fat. Fry for five to six minutes. Lift them out. Drain. Salt (to taste).

Chip Dip

Ingredients:

1-8 ounce cream cheese
8 ounces of mayo or we always use Miracle Whip
about 4 ounces of ketchup or play with it until you like the flavor
1 teaspoon milk (Mom used canned)
you can add finely chopped onion to taste
season with salt-pepper-garlic salt to taste
1 can tiny shrimp-optional

Directions:

Set the cream cheese out to soften. You can use either a blender or mixer for this. Mix your cream cheese & milk until blended and add the Miracle Whip. When they are blended then add the ketchup and then the seasonings. At this point you can stir in the onions or shrimp. I rinse and drain the shrimp and then add. Just refrigerate until ready to serve and Ruffles or Fritos seem to go well with this or even some of the Ritz or Triscuit crackers.

This recipe is quick, simple and tastes delicious. You can make them ahead of time, freeze them wrapped in foil. When you’re ready to cook them, just open up the foil and cook for a little longer than the recipe calls for. These are ALWAYS a big hit at our Christmas parties.

Yield: 25 servings

1 lb Hamburger
1 lb Hot Sausage
1 lb Velveeta

Directions:

Brown and drain meat. Melt Velveeta cheese and add to browned meat. Mix well. Spread on cocktail bread. Bake at 400F for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.
