“Easy on Teeth” Recipes
Really Simple Sloppy Joe's
- 1 lb. ground round
- 1 bottle of Heinz chili sauce
- 1/2 small onion (finely diced)
- Mustard
Thoroughly brown the ground round and diced onions over medium heat in a medium pan, stirring occasionally to make sure the meat breaks up. When thoroughly browned, add 1 bottle of Heinz Chili Sauce. Then fill empty bottle 1/3 to 1/2 way with water. Shake to mix remaining sauce, and pour into mixture.
Reduce heat and simmer 10 to 15 minutes. Spoon mixture on to hamburger buns and spread a dab of mustard.
Doc’s Corn Pudding
- 1 can cream-style corn
- 2 eggs, well beaten
- 1 Tbsp either bacon drippings or melted butter
- 1 l/2 Tbsp sugar (or Splenda)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 1-quart glass dish. In a bowl combine the corn, eggs, butter or drippings, and sugar, and pour into the greased dish. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Easy Noodles Romanoff
Combine one medium onion (chopped), one half pound of cooked noodles, one cup sour cream, one cup cottage cheese, and a half cup of grated cheddar cheese in a baking dish. Bake for about a half hour at 325 degrees.
Mixed Fruit Smoothies
Quick, colorful, and delicious, these four-ingredient fruity shakes are as good-looking as they are good for you.
