Let me tell ya, I'm hungry right now, but rather than cooking up a bunch of calories I'm dreaming by looking for recipes I'd love to jump up and make right now. At least these are vegetable-related.
This sounds kind of like Yorkshire pudding.
Onion Puff
2 large onions
2 teaspoons butter (or olive oil)
Batter:
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Slice the onions 1/4 inch thick and saute in the butter in a 9 inch cast iron skillet over high heat until lightly browned and tender. Pour the batter over the sauteed onions in the skillet. Bake for 45 minutes. Best when served immediately.
Potato Dish
6 potatoes, unpeeled and diced
1 cup water
1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
1 package dry onion soup mix
Mix water, butter, and soup mix together. Layer the potatoes in a greased 9 by 13 inch pan and pour the mixture over them. Bake at 350 minutes for 45 to 60 minutes, until tender.
I've got a bunch of shredded cheese I need to use up, so I'm going to make this tomorrow. I don't have those French fried onions so am going to make some home version of it. Nor do I have the jar of pimiento, but I did buy some sweet red peppers at the store today.
Baked Vegetable Medley
1 bag mixed broccoli, cauliflower, and carrot
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup sour cream or yogurt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
(1 4 oz jar pimiento)
1 can French fried onions
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Combine the vegetables, soup, 1/2 cup of cheese, sour cream, pepper, pimiento, and 1/2 can of the French fried onions. Pour into a 1 quart casserole and bake, covered at 350 for 30 minutes. Top with the remaining cheese and onions and bake uncovered for 6 minutes longer.
Microwave: Cook, covered for 8 minutes, turning halfway through. Top with remaining cheese and onions. Cook uncovered for 1 minute or until cheese melts.
