Thanksgiving

[24KT]

here are a few recipes that i have.  Let me know if any of it looks familiar:

4 cups sweet corn
1/2 cut green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 chili pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, grated
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup cream

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

In a shallow baking dish, combine the green pepper, red pepper, onion and garlic. Mix well.

Add the chili pepper and cheese. Stir in the eggs and cream. Bake for 1 hour until the casserole is set at 375 degrees.

OR

1 (15 1/4-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (14 3/4-ounce) can cream-style corn
1 (8-ounce) package Jiffy corn muffin mix
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, stir together the 2 cans of corn, corn muffin mix, sour cream, and melted butter. Pour into a greased 9 by 13-inch casserole dish. Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and top with Cheddar. Return to oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Let stand for at least 5 minutes and then serve warm.

OR

Shredded cheese (opt.)

Mix all ingredients except cheese. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top, if desired. Bake in casserole dish or 9"x13" baking dish for 30 to 45 minutes or until fully cooked in center.

Miggly, ...in the first recipe, ...when do you add the corn? ya hafta add the corn don't you?

Hmmm....That corn casserole sounds interesting.  I should give it a try.

First thing I do on Thanksgiving day, put the turkey in the oven and go to the gym.

Collard greens
Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Candied yams

So do I... as we speak. 

[Migs]

Hmmmm... what do you put in yours? I usually throw in pecans or blueberries/apples... with allspice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. I tried to cut down on the sugar one year.  Everyone looked like this  while they were eating.

[Migs]

i generally use the whole cranberrys, some sugar but will cut it with splenda to lower the sugar content.  Then add oj (another reason to lower the sugar)  then a lil bit of black pepper, orange peel ad grand marnier.  i cook it down unitl it gets nice and thick and leave some whole berries in there.  like the texture better than a smooth sauce.

[Deedee]

I leave whole berries in too.  The texture is better. Might try the Grand Marnier though.  It sounds really good.  Do you put it in at the beginning or end? A lot, or a little (or the whole bottle, lol)?

i agree the texture is much better.  i put it near the end, sometimes i'll flambee it other times i'll let it simmer to cook out the alcohol.  as for the amout depends on which family members are coming lol.. actually i tdo it to taste, start witha shot and go from there. 

[Deedee]

Well, I'm sure as hell not going to flambee anything... I'll set fire to the kitchen. 

But will splash a little in towards the end and see what happens.  I don't think you can go wrong with Grand Marnier.

Girlfriend wants me to come spend it with her family.

I'm not all that close with my immediate family, so I figure, why not?

The last few years I'd spent it alone and sheltered in a blanket...
