This section needs recipes and tips.....

Nothing against gardening,,, but it seems every time I scroll down to this cooking section,,, it's the gardening topic that has new posts...
Kinda disappointing.

I don't have any new recipes of my family's or my own that I haven't shared already, but I will add some here later.
How about sharing some recipes, cooking tips/techniques, and/or sources of same, without a bunch of discussion, just good info?

I'll start with a recent social media discovery,

Young lady, who must have left the Amish community if she is filming cooking videos, who still dresses traditionally and cooks her family's traditional Amish recipes and shares them.

This was traditionally made with rabbit but we most often make it with chicken now. I've used pheasant too....

I remember my great-grandmother and my grandmother making this, dad remembers it from his childhood. Always a family favorite. Despite most of us being very meat oriented,,, there never seems to be enough vegetables

This is cheap and easy, could definitely be made in camp for most folks, maybe not for a pc/hc camp depending on era....

We most often serve over rice.

I also add extra worcestershire sauce.

That Stimbarato sounds good. I'm going to try it.
I've been doing most of the cooking for my wife and me. Formally, I was the chief bottle washer, but we agreed to switch duties about a year ago. I'm (sort of) famous for my one-pot meals. But once or twice each week I try to do something different. I like my own meatloaf better than any that I've ever had in a restaurant. My stuffed peppers are pretty good, too. I don't follow any specific recipe. I make it up as I go along.
Anyway, several nights ago I made tacos using venison. It turned out really well. I have a bunch of venison/pork hamburgers that we made up from the buck I shot back in November. Really simple.
Since its only my wife and I, we don't need much. For more people, make larger batches.
First, I diced a half of an onion and sauteed it in an 8" skillet with olive oil.
Add 2 or 3 venison patties, break them up into small pieces, crumbs almost, and cook with the onions until brown.
Add salsa to taste.
Put this on ready made (store bought) taco shells (hard or soft, your choice)
Add chopped lettuce, and cheese
Or any other items that you like.

Sometime soon, I want to make some venison chili. I'll just make it up as I go.

My mother used to make a clam casserole that I thought was absolutely delicious. (I grew up near the coast in NJ) I remember it was done in a glass baking dish like you would do a meatloaf. Unfortunately, I never got the recipe. Anyway, we are far from the coast now and any source of fresh clams. However, if anyone has a recipe, or any idea how it may have been made, please post it. I crave it.
