BREAKFAST:
Smoked Bacon and Eggs
Pan used: Cast Iron Griddle
Abigail from Boyertown, PA
Ingredients:
1 Package Bacon
2-3 Eggs per person
Instructions: Make a fire and get a few nice coals heated up. Place your cast iron griddle on top and give it a couple of minutes to heat up. Put bacon on and cook it to your liking. Once it is cooked remove the bacon and crack eggs on to the griddle. The eggs will get a wonderful bacon grease taste, while the bacon will cook perfectly and have an incredible open fire/smoked flavor to it.
MAIN DISH:
Topsy-Turvey Pie
Pan used: 9″ Cast Iron Skillet
Roberta from Sheboygan, WI
Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef
2 T. oil
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/4 c. chopped bell pepper
8 oz. can tomato sauce
1/4 c. water
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. chili powder
2 c. all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 c. shortening
3/4 c. buttermilk
Instructions: Heat oven to 450 degrees. Brown meat in oil in 9″ skillet. When meat is half browned, add onion and bell pepper. Stir until meat is well browned and onion transparent. Add salt and chili powder, tomato sauce and water. Bring just to a boil and top with biscuit dough rolled out to fit pan. Slit the center of the dough and place in the oven, baking for 15-20 minutes. To serve, cut into wedges and place biscuit-side down on plate.
For biscuits: Measure flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into bowl. Cut in shortening until mixture looks like meal. Stir in almost all the milk. If the dough is not pliable, add just enough milk to make a soft, puffy, easy-to-roll dough. Tip out onto flour-covered counter, knead lightly 8-10 times, roll out into a 9″ circle.
Roberta says: When I was a little girl, finding out that we were going to have Topsy-Turvey Pie for dinner was always a special treat. Â Now I make it for my husband and he loves it too. I hope other families will enjoy it as much as mine did (and does).
