Sunday Lunch

Here's an easy Sunday lunch in the crockpot recipe. I miss our weekly fellowship dinners with our church in Thailand. Now I have to plan ahead on Sunday mornings and have something ready to go once we return from church.
This week I made Old Settlers Baked Beans with Corn Bread. This recipe was passed down from my great-grandmother Carrier-Mayes and I don't think she'd mind me sharing it here! It's so yummy (if you like beans!).

Mix together in large casserole dish; serve with cornbread. (Or mix in the crockpot and keep heated on low heat for a couple hours).
2 lbs. browned, drained hamburger
1 can red kidney beans
1 can butter beans
1 can pork and beans
1/3 cup brown sugar or 1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
3 tsp. prepared mustard
Mix well. Bake covered 1 hour @ 350

I hope you'll enjoy it!

BBQ Chicken Recipe, Part Two

Thanks for those who are interested in this recipe. The picture is of Thai "bird peppers" or phrik khii nuu in Thai (which means mouse poo chili...because it looks like it...I know, not very polite, but it is true!)

Anyway, these chilis are HOT. They are small, about 2-3 cm long and are green or red in color. If you can't find them in the area in which you live, you can substitute with another pepper. According to a site I found thru a google search you can substitute chile de Arbol, fresh cayenne or jalapeno (but it won't be as spicy) I hope that helps!

As to the dough recipe...this is from my More with Less cookbook my mother-in-law gave me a few years back (a great resource if you are missionary OR if you are concerned about the world's food resources...the Mennonites published it years ago).

Combine in a large bowl:

1 cup warm water

1 pkg. yeast (or 2 1/4 tsp)

When dissolved, add:

1 T. sugar

1 1/2 tsp salt

2 T. veg. oil

1 1/4 c flour

Beat until smooth. Add:

2 c. additional flour, or enough to make dough stiff (may use part whole wheat)

Knead until elastic (about 5 minutes). Place in a greased bowl and let rise until double, about 45 mins. Form 2 balls. Pat and stretch to fill 2 greased pizza pans. Let rise 10 mins.

BBQ Chicken Pizza recipe

This is my new favorite! My teammate, Jan, shared this recipe with us at the Mom's group a few weeks back and it is SO yummy, especially if you like a little kick in your food. I make homemade pizza dough..it's very easy to do...and if you want me to post a recipe for that I will, just let me know. Here's the recipe...sorry I don't have a picture, just take my word on it...it's good!

BBQ chicken pizza
8 bird peppers (more or less depending on how hot you like your food!)
2-3 cloves garlic
2 chicken breats, cut up in bite size pieces
some BBQ sauce (enough to cover the dough...you will use BBQ sauce instead of pizza sauce).
Red and green sweet peppers chopped (opt)
1/2 cup cheese

Directions:
mash garlic, peppers in crock (or mince with knife if you don't have a crock). Heat some oil in a frying pan and add peppers and garlic mixture. Fry just for a couple seconds then add cut up chicken. Fry until chicken is cooked. Place dough in pizza pan, add BBQ sauce and then add the fried chicken. Add sweet peppers and sprinkle with cheese and bake until dough is lightly browned and cheese is melted. Enjoy!
