    Default Aunt Edith's Recipes

    I didn't get any recipes to try for the dinner with my brother and his family so I decided to make things we used to eat as kids. It was a big hit. The Russian sister-in-law begged for the second recipe. I thought I would share a couple of the recipes with you...

    Aunt Edith’s Hot Dog Chili
    <O</O
    5 pounds HAMBURGER
    3 large ONIONS, diced
    5 tablespoons CHILI POWDER (McCormick Hot Mexican)
    1-1/2 tablespoons RED CAYENNE PEPPER
    1 tablespoon GARLIC POWDER
    1 tablespoon OREGANO
    1 teaspoon ALLSPICE
    SALT & PEPPER to taste
    1 (6 ounce) can TOMATO PASTE
    2 cups TOMATO JUICE
    Lots of WATER as it cooks
    <O</O
    Brown hamburger and onions in a large pot – Drain fat – Break up the hamburger mixture with a potato masher - Add remaining ingredients – Stir well – Periodically stir as it cooks for at least three hours – Do not cover – Put in serving-size containers in the freezer until ready to use.

    The smell of this recipe cooking is almost as good as eating it. It is also a good topping for baked potatoes, macaroni, etc.


    Aunt Edith’s <ST1Orange</ST1 Delite<O</O
    <O</O
    One large (6 oz.) package ORANGE JELLO (I use suger free)<O</O
    One pound COTTAGE CHEESE<O</O
    Two 11 oz. cans MANDARIN <st1:City><ST1ORANGES</ST1</st1:City>, drained<O</O
    One 20 oz. can CRUSHED PINEAPPLE, drained<O</O
    One 8 oz. container COOL WHIP, thawed
    <O</O
    ½ cup chopped PECANS (optional)<O</O
    <O</O

    Your dinner was a hit because it was comfort food and brought back memories to your brother. I'm glad your SIL like the salad. That one has always been a favorite of mine.

    Use the dry jello just like it comes out of the package. It dissolves into the cottage cheese quickly.

    I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family has over the decades. I've been giving leftover hotdog chili away and everyone loves it. I should make it more often.
