Yum Tibro - my Mom used to make that onion bake, just like your recipe, and it is delicious. Of course, when I was a kid in the 60's no one cared about calories.

So true pdh3 - calorie counting is just another stress of modern day living  Laughing

I must confess that most of the recipes I post here come from an American cookbook a penfriend (remember those?) sent me many years ago.  I use it for here as then I know you will all understand the ingredients and I use it myself as it is still in cups and spoons for measurements, which I prefer over the metric measures we are expected to use here now.   Book is "America Cooks" by General Federation of Womens Clubs and all the recipes have been submitted by their members from all over the US. They say there are over 3500 recipes over 740 pages and index takes up another 50 + pages.  Book is still in very good condition, just shows a little darkening in the colour of the pages.  Paper jacket is a bit tatty though but it has served me well.

Is this the book, Tibro? I'd like to order it, but want to be sure it's the right one.  Wink

For those who have better things to do than cook all day long, here is a really wonderful pot roast that you will not believe how tender and how delicious it is!

PEPSI POT ROAST:

3-4 pound pot roast
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 envelope Lipton's beefy onion soup mix
1 can of Pepsi (not diet) (12 oz. size)

Spray the inside of the crockpot with PAM (or use a liner, easier for clean up), place pot roast in the crockpot, spread cream of mushroom soup over pot roast (do not add water or milk to soup, just use it right out of the can), sprinkle soup mix, and then pour Pepsi over that.  Set crockpot for 6 to 8 hours (medium heat, or low heat) or 4 - 6 hours high heat, and walk away until time for dinner.

 Meat,Sausage and Cabbage Soup


1 pound of lean ground beef
1 pound rolled sausage-mild,hot,your choice-hint-sage is not good in this recipe.
1 pound rope sausage-your choice, I use Kielbasa.Sliced.
1 medium sized head of cabbage.
2 large cans of tomato sauce
1 medium can of tomato paste
You may also use spagetti sauce if you prefer.
Water
 Lot's of fresh garlic chopped- use the amount you desire. I use many cloves.
1 big onion chopped.
 Salt and pepper to taste.

Brown all the meat, onions and garlic together-drain very well.Add all the sauce.Add some water to get desired texture.Use a big pot,a big one.Leave enough room to add your shredded cabbage towards the end filling the pot.The liquid should have a soup texture,not a stew texture. When the cabbage is cooked soft the soup is done.

This makes alot but is wonderful to freeze and use as wanted.I usually feed four at first and then put several containers in the freezer for later use.It's inexpensive and very yummy..Smile

Louise - this is the only one I can find that uses small white onions.  Have a couple of other recipes but they use sliced onions.

BAKED ONIONS

24 small white onions
3 cups fresh bread crumbs
1 teaspoon salt
Quarter teaspoon pepper
Half cup Butter
2 cups milk

Preheat oven to 350 deg F. 
Grease 2 quart casserole
Cook onions in boiling salted water for 10 minutes; drain
Mix crumbs with salt and pepper
Arrange about one third of the onions in the casserole; sprinkle with 1 cup of the breadcrumbs.  Dot with one third of the butter.
Repeat layers until all the ingredients have been used, finishing with crumbs dotted with butter.
Pour milk over all.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Note: The cook books I still use are old and well tested but do not list any calories.

i always called it eye-ball bake....very yummy but i have to use large sliced onion  Monkey Devil! an angelic monkey

Oreo Cheesecake Bar Thingy

45 OREO Cookies, divided
1/4 cup  butter melted
3 pkg. (250 g each)  Brick Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup  sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
3 cups  thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping


line 13x9-inch pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Coarsely chop 15 cookies set aside. Finely crush remaining cookies and mix with melted butter. Press onto bottom of prepared pan. Refrigerate while preparing filling.

Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Whisk in Cool Whip and chopped cookies. Spoon over crust.

Refrigerate 4 hours or until set.

*****I make this in a 9x9 pan and a loaf pan so they are taller rather than using the 13x9 pan.  I also put these in the freezer rather than the fridge until they are needed and then take them out and they are so good!

If you want a crazy simple recipe to make try these home made turtles.

Get a bag if the small salted pretzels (not the straight ones) and either Rolo Caramel chocolates or a bag of dove caramel chocolate.

Line a cookie sheet with baking paper, and heat over to 350.  put pretzels in a single layer on the cookie sheet and put one of the chocolate carmels in the middle of each pretzel.  Bake 3-5 minutes until the chocolates begin to soften but not melt - you have to watch these as they bake.  If they melt totally the caramel comes out everywhere.  Top with a pecan half while still warm and let cool.

A fast and simple recipe kids can do

cover a cookie sheet with tin foil.  Place a single layer of square salteen crackers (I use Kraft Premium Plus with salt) on the sheet to cover the whole sheet. You may have to creak some of the crackers in half to cover the sheet.  In a saucepan melt  1 cup butter and 1 cup brown sugar until it boils.  boil for 3 mins.  Pour over crackers.  Bake this for 7 min in a 400 degree oven.  Once out of oven immediately sprinkle a bag of semi Sweet chocolate chips on top of crackers.  Let stand so chocolate melts (about 4-5mins) and spread chocolate with a knife over the crackers.  Now sprinkle either chopped nuts, cookie sprinkles, anything like that on top.  Let cool and break into pieces.

You can mix this recipe up by using butterscotch chips and toppings, or white chocolate chips.

Toffee Buttercrunch

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3 TBSP water
1 TBSP light corn syrup
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans or almonds
3/4 cup semi sweet or milk chocolate pieces
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans or almonds

Butter the side of a heavy 2 quart saucepan. Put candy thermometer in saucepan. In it melt butter.  Add sugar, water and corn syrup.  Cook over medium heat until your candy thermometer in the pot reads 290 degrees (soft crack stage) stirring frequently (mixture gently boils over entire surface).  Watch carefully after the thermometer reads 280 degrees.  Remove from heat and quickly stir in the 1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts.  Immediately turn onto a greased cookie sheet.  Wait for 2-3 minutes for surface to firm then sprinkle with chocolate pieces.  Let stand for 1 - 2 minutes or until chocolate had softened then spread the chocolate over the toffee and sprinkle with the 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts.  Chill till firm then break into pieces.  Makes about 1.5 pounds of toffee.

Yum Tibro - my Mom used to make that onion bake, just like your recipe, and it is delicious. Of course, when I was a kid in the 60's no one cared about calories.

Hi pdh3,

No one cared about calories in the 60's, because, everyone had at least one Moo-Moo dress. (LOL) bring back the Moo-Moo.
I remember those day's full of cream cheese and jello desserts, every tried to keep up with Jack La Lanne but it was not an obsession like today.
