1/2/09...Menu Plan for the next few days and the actual recipes!

Saturday 1/3/03~ Left Over Ham Potpie and/or Left over Pork and Sauerkraut
Recipe:

Ham Potpie:


Pot pie dough
3 eggs,slightly beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt, more or less to taste
1/2 tsp baking powder
flour to make a stiff dough

Roll dough to 1/4 in thickness and cut into squares( a pizza cutter works great for this)You can be generous with the flour when you roll as this will thicken your broth a bit. Drop squares of dough into hot broth stirring after adding every 12 pieces or so to prevent sticking together.
This will puff up quite a bit so be sure you have enough room in your pot.


I usually have either a Ham Hock or even just pieces of a Ham steak if the Boys "need" the potpie that night for dinner
If it is the ham hock - or hambone- i put it in a stock pot with water LOTS and /or chicken stock, add any veggies and seasonings you like- I added celery seed, pepper, salt, lots of chicken bullion, sometimes Bells seasoning.. I just keep adding and tasting ...
Plus i know the recipe looks like you will have too much- but you don't! i have made this for me DH and the two little ones and have only had enough left over for DH to take to work not me

I have made these noodles with Chicken too - same theory

I can not tell you how many times my Brian has bragged about "my ham potpie"

Ribs in the Crockpot with BBQ Sauce
