YOU'VA FRIEND IN THE KITCHEN: Bread, dinner and dessert

Posted

Let me tell you, when you ask for help from the members of 160 Church of Christ, you get help! In the form of recipes and prayers, especially when Darley steps in to help. And Darley, I’m sure the prayers are more beneficial than the recipes in my condition, but I appreciate both very much, and both are very helpful. Thank you, Darley, and all who joined.

So, more good cooking from 160 Church of Christ. If your congregation or work group has something to contribute, it will be much appreciated!

I love bread! It is my weakness, so let’s give Mary first shot:

PERFECT HOMEMADE BREAD

From Mary Marcak

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

1 cup warm milk

1/4 cup sugar

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 package or 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast (instant or rapid)

1/4 cup unsalted butter

Combine yeast, sugar and salt to milk, mix well. Stir this mix into the flour and let rise double.

Punch down and knead 3 minutes, allow to rise double again. Bake 30 minutes.

I love enchiladas. Thanks, Lynn.

E-Z ENCHILADAS

From Lynn Helm

1 pound ground beef

1 medium onion, chopped

1 bell pepper, chopped

1 package tortillas, flour or corn (Ed. Note: recommended size is 7-8 inch for flour or 6 inch for corn)

1 cup shredded cheese

1 15.5-ounce can refried beans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Saute together the beef, onion and bell pepper.

Dip tortilla in sauce, lay out flat. In center and across length, add 1 tablespoon each of cheese and refried beans, plus 2 tablespoons of meat-veggie mixture. Roll up to secure fillings.

Place seam-down in a baking pan and bake 40 minutes.

How about dessert? Thanks, Debbie.
