We host all the holiday meals, and I'm looking to get away from the same things I've been cooking for years. So I figure there must be some fun ideas out there in CCFan land. Regional foods would be great. We need to feed 10-12 people. What's your favorite secret recipe? share it here! |

Country Ham?...Deer hind quarter...cooked slowly on the grill, wrap in tin foil.. add carrots,potatoes,garlic and butter to keep it moist. Light one end of the grill put meat on the other end. Give it a bout 3 or 4 hrs. Debone and serve just like you would a roast.

A crock pot of good ol Brunswick stew is great! Pretty easy to make. I'm bringing in 2 pot's of the stuff with cornbread next Tuesday to work as my Christmas gift to the 20+ guys on my crew. Been doing it for the last 3 years so come November the guys are already asking me when I'm bringing in my stew. I'll post the recipe later if your interested.

We've done beef tenderloin or prime rib from time to time in my family. Obviously there are tons of ways you could consider seasoning or cooking. That's fun for something most families don't do that is different than the typical turkey or ham.

My family has a tradition were we try a something completely different year to year. The idea is to hopefully turn you on to new food you might not otherwise be exposed too. We do multiple courses pre-dinner cocktail, app, salad, soup, main course, desert, and cordial. Some themes we have done include Cajun(turducken), Hawaiian(pineapple ham), German(sour brauten), Greek(rack of lamb), Sanish(paella), and many others I can't think of. It is great for the kids and we have come across some real keeper recipes along the way.
DO tell what is Burgoo? Anything with a name like that's gotta be good! |

Keegan,
Here is a recipe, I've had it a couple of times in central KY, very, very good stuff (never made it though). The link also mentions Beer cheese, bourbon balls, bourbon slush, all of which are quite good. I'll have to bring the beer cheese to a gathering next time. KY Burgoo |

He's cute ain't he? Only problem is, he's got a little bit a Mississippi leg hound in 'im. If the mood catches him right, he'll grab your leg and just go to town. You don't want him around if your wearing short pants, if you know what I mean. Word of warning though, if he does lay into ya, it's best to just let 'im finish.
Merry Christmas! ***************ter was full! Classics |

Been awhile since Ive had actual burgoo. At deer camp we make "something" that seems to be across between burgoo and brunswick stew.
Same basic ingridents as Burgoo just not as thick. Chicken,deer,beef,pork and on occasion squirrel or rabbit meat.Start with boiling water add stewed tomatos,tomato juice,some cut up potatos,corn,onions,lima beans and whatever else we can find. Brown the meat and add it. Cook and stir until it thickens a bbit ( no potatos can be found at this point). Some call it stew, some call it soup, some just same call me when its ready. Beer cheese, a cracker and horseradish now thats good! Or how about pork loin slow cooked in a crock pot? |

Nice!!!! A lot of soul food or working man's food is made in giant quantities. I used to got to LSU football games as a kid and they would make jambalaya like that in 10-20 gallon batches. You need an oar to stir it! |

Appetizer, my families favorite, Little wienies each wrapped with a third strip of bacon, then covered with brown sugar, sit overnight and bake. mmmmmm fat wrapped in fat, coated in sugar. Served on a tooth pick. Most my family recipies will eventually land you in a cardiac care unit. I will provide an exact recipe if anyone is interested.

For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats.
