Meat Stuffing for Chicken

without comments

I found two recipes for meat stuffing in my grandmother’s recipes, both are listed here

4 medium potatoes
1 small onion diced
1 Tbsp diced celery
1 tsp chopped parsley
1/4 ground beef
1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
1/4 pound butter
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp aromatic bitters
1/2 tsp salt

Peel and boil potatoes
Saute onions, celery and parsley, in a small amount of the butter, in large skillet Add meat to skillet and cook until done
Drain and mash potatoes with remaining butter
Combine all and mix well
Let stuffing cool before stuffing bird


2 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
2 medium onions diced
salt, pepper, poultry seasoning to taste
2 large potatoes
Simmer meat and onions together slowly until done
Boil and mash potatoes
Combine ingredients and cool before stuffing bird

I can’t date the paper my grandmother cut this out of, but on the back side is an add for a box of 24 Hershey Chocolate Bars for 85 cents.

Grandma’s Whipped Cream Cake

without comments

Whip 1 cup heavy cream until firm
Add 2 egg yolks and beat until foamy
Add 1 tsp vanilla
Add 1 cup sugar

Beat well

Sift together
1 1/2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
pinch salt

Fold into whipped cream

Beat the 2 egg whites until stiff and fold into whipped cream
Bake ~30 minutes at 350′

Notes: This works well doubled. I layer frozen fruit in a 9×13 pan then the doubled recipe on top. I only use 1 cup of sugar when I double the recipe. Also I beat the egg whites and sugar till stiff, add the cream beat till stiff, then fold in the remaining ingredients.
