Margaret's Potato Sour Cream Bake.  

(This is from Margaret Loveridge, a wonderful older woman I served with on a women's group board twenty years ago. I've always wished my name were Margaret, so she gets acknowledged whenever I share it.)   This is so good my husband wants it with honey baked ham every family birthday and Christmas. Lucky him, genetically low cholesterol. Me, I eat it anyway,  plan to die happy.

8 medium potatoes,  boiled in jackets with 2 bay leaves
1 can cream of mushroom soup                1/4 cup butter
1 cup sour cream                                     1 small onion, chopped
1 1/2 cup sharp cheddar, grated               1/2 tsp salt, pepper

Cook potatoes 20 min.  Drain. (I leave skins on because I like the taste. Margaret peeled them.) Slice.  Set aside.  Saute onion in butter.
Grate cheese.  Carefully mix potatoes, cheese, onion, sour cream, mushroom soup, salt, pepper. 

Bake 350o  35 minutes
     


California Baked Beans (from my sister Sue, SHS class '63)

1 1/2 lbs slab bacon, cubed, sauteed with:
1 large yellow onion (not Vidalia or other sweet variety)
1 green pepper, both chopped, with pepper seeds.

1 extra large can your favorite brand Pork & Beans
1 large can kidney beans
2 cans lima beans
2 cans chunk pineapple
1 can Italian green beans (Drain liquid off each can, etc.)

1 cup ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
3 Tbs molasses
4 - 6 Tbs Worcestershire sauce.  (Combine these)

Sautee onion, pepper with bacon.  Gently mix all beans, pineapple. Add sauteed bacon, onion, pepper to beans/pineapple, add sauce.

Cook, covered, in big crock pot on high 2 hrs.  Turn to low,  cook overnight and through the next day till right before serving.

Sue says this serves "Loads."  I used six kinds of dried beans (Cooked ahead) left out the bacon for vegetarian and other non-bacon eating friends
tripled the recipe, served 60 people at my early 60th birthday party in October before the Loon Lake hike. People love this recipe. 



Spinach Casserole   
(I got this from a book group friend.  She brought it every August to our book selection potluck.  It's a ladies' lunch food.   The guys I know pick at it politely.  Serve them Margaret's Potato-Sour Cream bake before they head off to the Guys' Fishing Trip, or send the baked beans.)

2 eggs,       1 Tbsp flour,         2 cloves garlic, minced.         1 tsp olive oil
2 pkg frozen spinach,  thawed;  squeeze water from
12 oz cottage or ricotta cheese
8 oz shredded American (I prefer sharp cheddar) cheese

Sautee garlic in oil,  add eggs,  flour.  Mix carefully into thawed, drained spinach,  gently add cheeses.  
Bake 1/2 hr,  350o.  


This is a recipe I had given to be at a Community Potluck in Denio. - dorothy naylor
