ReplyDeleteWe do a ham and au gratin potatoes - also called funeral potatoes.
ReplyDeleteBag of frozen hashbrowns
can each of cream of chicken soup and cream of mushroom soup
small container of sour cream
2 cups of cheese
parsley and salt and pepper to taste
Mix all but the hashbrowns and the seasoning in a large bowl.
Using a 9x13 pan layer in thirds the hashbrowns, then the mix, then the seasoning, repeat until you have three layers of each. In that order!
Put in oven on 375 for 30 to 40 minutes until baked all the way through.
Serve hot. Great for leftovers!
Have a Merry Christmas!

My in-laws have a big family. Our secret recipe? A six-foot sub from Subway! Works for us!
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas dinner---I hand the spanner over to my husband and he is the Grill King for the Day! This year its steak and hamburgers and me lounging on the couch. Can't get much better than that. (did I mention he also makes a mighty-fine homemade beer?!)
ReplyDeleteI love food. At Thanksgiving we always have lasagna with our turkey. Guess you can tell I'm Italian. Christmas Eve depends on where we are. In the past when my in-laws were alive we had to have fish and buttered noodles. My parents enjoyed Christmas brunch with orange jucie and champagne mixed. At my house we have always had Christmas Eve with a sandwich from subway, lots of home made cookies, and can't forget the pickles and olives. Christmas morning usually is a big breakfast, eggs, ham, pancakes the usual. What do you eat on the holidays?
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas
On Christmas Eve we always had steak tartar as a kid. My family ate it on fresh rye bread with salt, pepper, and onions. It was our German tradition. We complimented it with hot chocolate made with real milk. Nowadays I love prime rib. My husband makes it with fresh rosemary, garlic, olive oil, and a few other spices rubbed over it as he seared it at a high temp. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteHere goes!
ReplyDeleteFor Christmas:
1) Ham-with pineapple rings and maraschino cherries, glazed with pineapple and cherry juice mixed with brown sugar.
2) Sweet potatoes-baked, peeled, cut into chunks. Put in a casserole dish with butter and brown sugar. Heat through then top with marshmallows and brown in the oven.
3) Homemade noodles-4 cups flour, 1 tsp. salt, and 4 eggs. Knead into a stiff dough. Roll and cut. Dry for several days. Cook in 2 large cans of chicken broth for about an hour.
Corn, green beans, rolls, and pumpkin or butternut squash pie.
For New Year's Eve:
Pizza, sauerkraut balls, chips, and assorted junk food.
For New Year's Day:
Typical German meal of pork and sauerkraut, dumplings, mashed potatoes.
Happy Holidays!!!
