The Shawnee Marina Reuben Sandwich Recipes

REUBEN SANDWICH II

Steps:

• Preheat a large skillet or griddle on medium heat.
• Lightly butter one side of bread slices. Spread non-buttered sides with Thousand Island dressing. On 4 bread slices, layer 1 slice Swiss cheese, 2 slices corned beef, 1/4 cup sauerkraut and second slice of Swiss cheese. Top with remaining bread slices, buttered sides out.
• Grill sandwiches until both sides are golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Serve hot.

DUTCH OVEN HOT PEGLEGS AND WINGS (CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 300-degrees F.
• Spray the inside of a Dutch oven or roaster with the cooking spray.
• Cut the wing joints apart and discard the tips or use them to make stock. Put the "peglegs" and wings in the Dutch oven, pour the wing sauce over them, add in the butter and dust all this with the black pepper.
• Stir, cover, and bake for 3 hours, carefully stirring every 45 minutes -- I use a wooden spoon.
• Serve the drained wings on a large platter at the end of the three hours and offer additional hot sauce (mostly for color) at the table. Hand out plenty of paper towels -- your guests will need them!

APPALACHIAN GRAVY BREAD

Steps:

• Mound up your torn pieces of buns and/or bread on a pre-warmed plate. Pour the gravy over it.
• Sprinkle some pepper on top of it to suit your own tastes.

APPALACHIAN CHILI

Steps:

• In a large cooking pot, pour in the beef and chicken broth and crumble in the burger.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Add all other ingedients, except for the beans and the spaghetti, stirring after adding each one.
• Once the chili begins to boil, reduce the heat so that it will boil slowly with the lid on.
• Allow the chili to slowly boil for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the beans after 90 minutes and allow the chili to continue the slow boil for another 30 minutes.
• If desired, Prepare the spaghetti separately, boiling in water per package directions, and set aside, covered.
• Serve either in medium-sized bowls with saltines or oyster crackers available at the table or, portion out the chili over the spaghetti on large plates.

APPALACHIAN MOUNTAIN SEASONING

Steps:

• Grind the ingredients until it becomes a greyish-white powder.
• Store in a closed container.
• When used as a "dredge" add 1 teaspoonful to each cup of flour. As a spice, just sprinkle it on to the raw chicken or pork before cooking/baking/frying. For smoking, just rub it on the meat.

HOT DR. PEPPER

Steps:

• Pour the Dr. Pepper into a medium saucepan and heat to about 180-degrees F. (The carbonation will make it look like it's boiling but you can ignore this if you use a thermometer).
• Pour the hot Dr. Pepper into a crystal tumbler and drop in the lemon slices.
• Enjoy!

DORSEL'S GOETTA VARIATION NO. 2 (CROCK POT)

Steps:

• Blend the ground meat. Set aside.
• In a crock pot, combine water, salt and pepper. Cook on high (covered) for 20 minutes then stir in oatmeal. Cover and cook on high for 90 more minutes.
• Add meat and savory seasoning at the end of the 90 minutes -- blend well. Cover and cook on low for 3 more hours.
• At the end of the 3 hours, if the goetta is not thick enough, cook it a little longer, stirring often.
• Pour into bread pans, cover with cling wrap, and place in refrigerator. It will keep for days.
• When you're ready to eat it, slice the loaf of goetta and put it into a skillet with the bacon fat. Fry over medium heat until it is well browned, turning once.
• Serve.
• NOTE: A good friend of mine who makes this all the time use 16 cups of water for this recipe, which is double the recommendation, so don't be afraid to use more than 8 cups if it seems to need it before the cooking time is up. Also, good sausage can be substituted for the ground pork, if you wish.
