Baked Poplettes

Ingredients

  • 3 potatoes
  • 4 eggs
  • ¾ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese
  • ½ cup vegetables (mix ‘n match)
    • Black beans
    • Green beans
    • Corn
    • Carrots
    • Cabbage
    • Broccoli
    • Cauliflower
  • 1½ cups breadcrumbs

Directions

  1. Start by boiling potatoes then place in a large bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher.
  2. As the potatoes cool, work on the rest of your vegetables. Make sure that whatever you are using is soft and cut into small pieces as needed. (Kernels of corn or black beans are a decent size.)
    • If you are using harder vegetables like carrots, squashes, broccoli or cauliflower they should be steamed or sauteed until they are tender.
    • If you are using anything canned you should drain then thoroughly, we want the mixture to be fairly dry.
  3. Go back to the bowl with the potatoes, and add grated Parmesan, 3 beaten eggs, and salt and pepper and 1 cup of breadcrumbs. Mix in the vegetables and shredded cheese.
  4. Work everything into a consistent mixture, then scoop out clumps and shape them into small balls (the size of a small egg). Roll them in flour then in the last beaten egg, then in the remaining breadcrumbs to coat.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes at 425°

Chicken Dutch Oven Main Dish Quick Prep Soup

Post Thanksgiving Stew

Ingredients

  • 10 cups water
  • 1 cup turkey
  • ½ cup chopped carrots
  • 1½ cups macoroni (optional)
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1½ tbsp chicken bullion
  • 2 tsp salt
  • ¼ cup chopped celery (optional)
  • 4 cups potatoes (cubed)

Instructions
Bring water to a boil and add bullion, carrots, celery, potatoes salt and pepper. After 20 minutes (10 minutes if using previously cooked potatoes) add macoroni and boil for another 8 minutes before adding turkey for a final 2 minutes.

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes

This makes a huge amount of food and the pasta gets soggy if you try serving it a day or more after making it. Think very carefully about how much you need before you decide to double this recipe. If you expect to have leftovers you should probably not include the macoroni.
