Venison Parmesan Over Pasta

Ingredients

  • 6 thinly cut steaks of Venison tenderloin

  • 1 C Italian bread crumbs

  • 2 lg eggs beaten with 1 tbsp Milk

  • Olive oil

  • 2 C Mozzeralla cheese

  • 1 Jar Spaghetti Sauce or homemade sauce

  • 1 lb long, thin spagetti pasta

  • 1/4 C Parmesean cheese

Place enough oil in the bottom of a frying pan to coat (about 1/4 inch deep). Heat oil on Med-Low setting. Dredge steaks first in bread crumbs, then egg, then bread crumbs again. Place steaks in heated oil and pan fry until both sides are browned. Then, drain excess oil from the steaks. Next, coat the bottom of a 9 x 11 baking pan with a thin layer of spaghetti sauce and place steaks on the bottom, then, add another layer of sauce over the breaded steaks. Finally, sprinkle Mozzeralla and Parmesean chese liberally on top. Bake in a preheated oven set at 375o until mozzeralla cheese is golden brown on top. Serve over long spaghetti.

  • 3 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wagon Train Biscuits

Ingredients

  •  2 cups flour

  •  4 teaspoons sugar

  •  2 teaspoons salt

  •  1 teaspoon soda

  •  4 teaspoons baking powder

  •  2/3 cup (lard) shortening

  •  2/3 cup buttermilk

Measure all dry ingredients and place into a large bowl.  Cut in shortening thoroughly, until mixture looks like meal.  Stir in buttermilk.  If dough is not pliable, add just enough buttermilk to make a soft, puffy, easy-to-roll dough.  Round up dough on lightly floured cloth-covered board.  Knead lightly 20 to 25 times, about 1 minute.  Roll out until 3/4 inch thick.  Cut with floured biscuit cutter (you could also use a glass).  Place on greased cookie sheet.  Bake in a 450 degree oven for about 10 to 12 minutes.

Kathy's Green Chili

Ingredients

  • Lard

  • Flour

  • 3-4 lb pork roast

  • 1 - 15oz can stewed or diced tomatoes

  • 2 - 8oz cans chopped green chilies

  • 3-4 whole jalapenos

  • large onion

  • salt & pepper to taste

  • 3 cloves of garlic  (or to taste)

  • 1- 15 oz can refried beans (optional)

  • 1/2 tsp. cumin

  • 2 tsp chili powder

  • 2 cans chicken stock

Slice pork into small pieces and brown with garlic and 1/4 diced onion in lard. Add flour towards the end for thickener. Then add 3-4 cups of water, one can of chicken stock, and salt and pepper. Cook several hours until pork begins to fall apart. Chop remaining onion, slice whole jalapenos into thirds, and add with all other ingredients. This will cook for several more hours on low heat. Be cautious as the chili easily sticks to the bottom of the pan. Taste periodically for "hotness" of the jalapenos, and depending upon taste, remove when when to your desired "heat."  When close to complete, if the chili is too thin, remove about two cups liquid in a bowl, whisk in more flour for thickening, and return to the chili. Serve with flour tortillas. Great poured over burritos
