Hash Brown Sausage Bake

This is so easy to make and so delicious! Buttery hash browns form the crust for the yummy cheese and sausage filling. It is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

  • 1 package (20 oz.) refrigerated shredded hash brown potatoes
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
  • 1 lb. bulk pork sausage
  • 1/3 chopped onion
  • 1 cup (8 oz.) cottage cheese
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 4 oz. shredded cheddar cheese

In a large bowl, combine hash browns, butter and bouillon. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 10-inch pie plate. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, drain. In a large bowl, combine the sausage mixture, cottage cheese, eggs and cheese.

Pour into crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.

Makes 6-8 servings.

Dixie’s House Dressing

My family just loves this dressing. I make double batches of it and it is gone in no time. Because they all love it so much, we eat salad just about every day. This is also delicious on coleslaw.

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

Whisk together all ingredients until combined. Let sit for a few minutes before serving so the sugar can melt. Then store any leftovers in the refrigerator.

Makes almost 2 cups.

Jordan Marsh Legendary Blueberry Muffins

This is the actual recipe for these muffins that was enjoyed by generations of families at the Jordan Marsh department stores in Boston and New England area. They are to die for. OUTSTANDING!

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 milk
  • 2 1/2 cups blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons sugar to sprinkle on top (I used turbinado sugar)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Grease muffin tins well with butter; grease the top surface of the pan as well.

Using a stand mixer on low speed beat the butter together with the sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla.

Add eggs, one at a time and mix until blended.

In a separate bowl sift together the dry ingredients.

Add dry ingredients to the eggs and butter mixture, alternating with milk.

Mash 1/2 cup of blueberries and stir into the mixture.

Add the rest of the berries whole and stir. Pile the batter high in each muffin cup, and sprinkle sugar over tops of the muffins.

Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.

How to Freeze and Bake an Apple Pie

  • 1 box (2 count) refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box
  • 6 – 8 cups peeled, cored and sliced apples (I used a lot of apples)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 – 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour (depending on how many cups of apples used)
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Place 1 pie crust in a 9 or 10-inch disposable foil or metal pie plate (do not use glass). Press crust firmly against side and bottom of pie plate.

In a large bowl, gently mix filling ingredients and spoon in crust-lined pie plate

Top with second crust. Wrap excess top crust under bottom crust edge pressing edges together to seal; flute.

Tightly wrap unbaked pie in 3 layers of plastic wrap, making sure all sides of pie are completely sealed and unexposed.

Next, place pie in gallon-size plastic bag or wrap pie in aluminum foil; label with the following information: Apple Pie and expiration date of pie which is 2 months after pie is frozen. Place pie in freezer; pull out when ready to bake..

When ready to bake pie, heat oven to 450 degrees. When oven is preheated, remove pie from freezer; cut a few slits in top crust and place in oven. Do not thaw pie.

Bake 25 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees; bake 40 to 50 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown and apples are hot and soft when pricked with a fork.
