Sarah May Gruber 5 Can Southern Casserole
My favorite casserole to serve to a special fella is my 5 Can Southern casserole. Just go to the pantry, pick out any 5 cans of vegtables, put them in a casserole dish, pour in a can of cream of chicken soup, smother with Velveta, sprinkle dried onion bits on top and bake at 325 for 45 minutes.

Candy Coated Pecans
|
Candy Coated Pecan Halves
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
dash cinnamon
2 1/2 cups pecans (or walnuts) - best if roasted prior to using in recipe but not necessary
Combine the two sugars and sour cream and cook to soft-ball (234 degrees). Add cinnamon and vanilla and beat (with wooden spoon) until it begins to thicken. Add nuts. Stir until well coated. Turn out on well buttered cookie sheet. Separate into pieces. Makes 2 dozen.
I break into pieces once it has cooled a bit. I also find that it makes more than the 2 dozen advertised....that is why I say to add more pecans if the mixture is there to cover them.

Now I've already burned down 3 restraunts by Not using the right wires to get the tempature right.... so get an electrician & get this right)
Remove Cupcake pan from oven , being careful not to singe eyebrows from the heat.
_____________
Take can of spam, 2 Cups of Crisco/Lard. can add Pork craklin's if desired. Place in blender. Liquify to a batter consistency.
Collard-Green Cupcake Tops are still Red Hot & crispy from the heat... Spoon on blended spam like it's a Glaze. Will cook on the Cupcake tops & soak-in some , leaving a frosting top.

Meatloaf Cake
No, it's not a naughty euphemism; it's an actual cake made with ground beef, frosted with mashed potatoes and glazed with ketchup.
