I’m sure there’s a much more authentic way to make Mexican rice around now, but back in February 1972 Sunwhite rice published this recipe in the Woman’s Day. It mightn’t be a true taste of Mexico, but could still be a tasty dish.
This is a traditional South African dish and is basically a curried mince pie. The milk, bread cubes and egg give it a nice custard topping somewhat like moussaka.
These sausage shaped meatballs can be prepared a day ahead or even frozen, which is really handy. Making a casserole the day before you need it has the convenience factor, but as it can also improve the flavour, it can be a great idea.
I haven’t tried this, but as beef and beer works well in as a casserole can’t see why this combination wouldn’t taste good as well, especially with the sour cream added to the sauce.
My family have always loved this version of a meat loaf – the eggs make the difference. I also make smaller versions for when just my husband and I are going on a picnic or for lunch on the first day of an interstate trip.
As this says it’s not a traditional moussaka. Traditional Greek moussaka is made with eggplant and this recipe uses potato in it’s place. I think that using both eggplant and potato would work really well too, but making a traditional mince and tomato base sauce would probably be a lot better than a can of braised steak and onions.
Looking through Mum’s recipes there’s quite a lot that use tinned sweet corn, not something that’s used much these days. This savoury beef casserole topped with creamed corn is a bit unusual, but as it says the corn adds some sweetness to the standard savoury mince so it could be worth trying.
This starts off as a classic Scotch Egg recipe – hard boiled eggs, covered in sausage mince, rolled in breadcrumbs and fried. That’s the way I’ve always made them mostly to take on picnics. The twist here is that you put them in a tomato sauce and bake them. Certainly different – maybe worth a try!
This looks like a great way to jazz up beef rissoles. It makes an easy and fairly inexpensive family meal and I especially like that the rissoles have carrot in them and parmesan cheese extra flavour.
I found this recipe in Mum’s collection and straight away thought of my grand daughter who is going through a rissole loving phase at the moment. I hope she enjoys them!
