1 cup corn meal
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp Crisco
3/4 cup boiling water
mix all in a bowl and either roll into balls on cookie sheet or spoon into muffin pan. I put a drop of olive oil in muffin pan and smear around to prevent sticking. Bake for 15-20 mins in 400' oven. I use the broiler for the last 3 or 4 mins to brown tops. Goes good with my $.29 cent cabbage i fry in a little bacon grease. Cheap meal. (They can also be fried in grease, but I never have.)
I'm a guy and on my nights to cook, I keep it simple :-)
Another easy one is on sale pork chops or roast, tossed into Crockpot with can of cream of Mushroom soup, one onion, garlic powder and pepper. Cook on high for 4 hrs. mmmmm....(I never thought about it, but may take longer with higher altitude. I live at sea level.)
Your corn dodger sounds good, if fried, you would have ‘hush puppies’.
Your pork roast will work too, thanks, I had not had good luck with beef roasts in the crock pot, but then I was adding liquids, beer or coffee.
My sister cooked Corned Beef for St. Patricks day, she threw it in the pot , applied the seasoning packet and put the lid on.
I asked about liquids and she said, no, don’t use them, they will make their own........and it did.
Was very tasty.
I have used the mushroom gravy for years in cooking, but not everyone knows about how good it is.
When I am puny, I like it like gravy on bread and stuck in the microwave.
Cabbage, I like anyway it is fixed.
In the past, I fried potatoes, cabbage and onions as one dish, Bill liked it and so do I.
Men make good cooks, Bill was a good cook, but did not do it often enough..........but he always cooked my eggs for me and for years, he did the campfire cooking, then I made the mistake of doing it once and he quit.
A couple went prospecting with us on a few trips and Myrt brought the makings for cornbread, no oven of course, so she taught me to fry the batter like pancakes.......served with butter for dinner, it tastes like cornbread.
I like to add a small can of green peppers, a can of cream style corn and lots of cheese to a big pan of cornbread mixture and bake.........good. Freezes well too.
If I smell raw eggs, I can’t eat them.
Share your thoughts, it is good to come at survival from all angles.
