Recipes from this morning's show :)

DHC19 HAM STEAK EPISODE

COCA COLA HAM STEAKS

FIELD PEAS WITH SNAPS

SQUASH CASSEROLE

BROCCOLI CHEDDAR MUFFINS

COCA COLA HAM STEAKS

4 tablespoons butter, divided

2 ham steaks

¾ cup Coca Cola

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon yellow mustard

In a very large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter.  Add the ham steaks and brown for 4 to 5 minutes on each side.  Stir together the Cola and next 3 ingredients.  Pour over the ham steaks and cook an additional 5 minutes.  Remove the ham steaks to a platter and add 2 tablespoons butter to the cola mixture and simmer for 5 or 10 minutes or until thickened.  Serve the sauce with the ham. 

FIELD PEAS WITH SNAPS

2 lbs. fresh or frozen field peas with snaps

4 to 5 slices bacon, chopped

½ cup chopped onion

4 to 5 cups water

1 tablespoon each of salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder

1 or 2 teaspoons Tony Chachere’s Creole seasoning

In a heavy-duty pot, sauté the chopped bacon for about 8 minutes or until it is browned and crunchy.  Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place on a paper-towel lined plate.  Add the onions and cook for about 7 minutes.   Add the peas, water and seasonings and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer, covered on very low for about 45 minutes or until the peas are tender.  Feel free to add more seasonings to your liking.   Drain most of the water out before serving.  Top with the cooked bacon if desired.  This is so good with a roast, rice & gravy and cornbread or ham and cabbage. J  Enjoy!

SQUASH CASSEROLE

3 cups cooked squash (this is about 5 medium-size squash, cubed)

½ cup chopped onion

2 eggs

½ cup sour cream

½ cup mayo

3 to 4 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 ½ sleeves crushed Ritz crackers

Bell Pepper, sliced into rings (optional)

Olive Oil

Place the cubed squash and onions in a pot and cover with water.  Boil for about 20 minutes or until the squash is very soft.   Drain very well and place drained squash into a bowl.  Add the next 6 ingredients and stir well.  Pour into a 13x9 baking dish.  Place the crushed Ritz evenly over the top then place the bell pepper rings over the Ritz.  Drizzle with a little olive oil and bake at 350 for 40 minutes.

BROCCOLI CHEDDAR MUFFINS

1 stick butter, melted

4 eggs

½ cup onions, chopped

2 cups sharp cheddar cheese

1 box chopped, frozen broccoli, cooked

1 box cornbread (I use Jiffy)

Mix all ingredients together and pour in muffin pan.  I like to spray the muffin tins with the cooking spray that has flour in it.  Bake 20 minutes on 400 or until browned.
