This recipe came from hubby's side of the family in their family cookbook. I have tried many recipes before but this one was the BEST. For the rice, I boil 2 cups water and add one cup dry rice....I use the entire batch for this recipe even though it calls for only one cup.


Broccoli, Rice and Cheese Casserole

10 ounces fresh streamed or thawed frozen broccoli, chopped
1 cup cooked rice (I use much more)
1/4 cup chopped celery
1 can cream of chicken soup
4 ounce jar cheese sauce
4 ounce can mushrooms, drained
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp salt

Combine all in a greased casserole. Either bake in a 350* oven for 40 minutes or cook on low for 1-1/2 hours in a crockpot.

This recipe was hosted on Food Network's show Calling All Cooks. This is an excellent and quite different macaroni salad and even has a bite to it due to the cayenne and horseradish. I will include my changes to the recipe in parenthesis as I found it to be too salty the first time around.


DUNKLEY'S FAMOUS MACARONI SALAD

1 (16 ounce) package salad macaroni (I USE WHATEVER I HAVE ON HAND)
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup red onion, diced
1 cup yellow or white onion, diced
1 cup medium yellow cheddar, diced
1 cup swiss cheese, diced
1/2 cup Parmesan, grated
1 cup dill pickles, diced
1 cup hard salami, diced
1 (6-ounce) can large, pitted black olives, drained and sliced
1 TBS Lowry's garlic salt (I USED GARLIC POWDER)
1-2 TBS fresh minced garlic
1/4 tsp dried horseradish ( I USED FRESH PREPARED IN THE JAR)
1/2 tsp ground white pepper
1-2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp celery salt (I USED CELERY SEED)
1 (3-ounce) jar diced pimentos, rinsed & drained
1 to 1-1/2 cups mayonnaise

Add 2 quarts of water to a medium stockpot and bring to the boil. Add macaroni and cook until it is al dente about 9 minutes (do not overcook). Rinse until cool. Drain well and allow to dry out slightly.

Add pasta to a large bowl. Carefully fold in celery, onion, cheddar, Swiss cheese, parmesan, dill pickles, salami, and black olives. Refrigerate the mixture overnight (or at least 2 hours).

Mix the garlic salt (powder), minced garlic, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, dry mustard and celery salt (seeds) together. Add to the salad. Fold in the pimentos. Fold in 1 cup of the mayo to start. Add up to a 1/2 cup more at a time if needed. Refrigerate again for about an hour.

Chinese Coleslaw

Salad;
1 regular size package of prepared coleslaw
1 bunch of green onions, chopped (just the green ends)
1 small packet of slivered almonds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 packages ramen noodles (flavor does not matter, you will not use the flavor packets, just the noodles)

Dressing;
¾ cup vegetable oil
6 tablespoons rice wine
4 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon Accent (found in the spice aisle of the grocery store)
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper


Mix the green onions with the coleslaw in a large bowl. Brown the almonds and sesame seeds in 1 tablespoon of butter. Once cooled, add almonds and sesame seeds to coleslaw mixture.

In a blender or food processor, blend oil, vinegar, sugar, Accent, salt and pepper. Pour over salad and mix well. Break up the ramen noodles into small pieces, add to salad and mix. Refrigerate salad until serving.

Salad can be made ahead of time. For crunchier noodles, do not add more than a few hours before serving.

That sounds great Bucks, but I've never seen a spice called Accent before! At least at Giant Eagle I've never seen it.
