Betty's Crispy Southern Fried Chicken Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make homemade, country-style Southern Fried Chicken. Seasoned with salt and pepper, dredged in flour, this chicken is browned on the stove and then oven-fried until golden brown. Yum! Ingredients (for buffet-style serving): 11 pounds chicken parts, washed and dried with paper toweling (I used breasts, wings, thighs, and legs.) salt, to taste freshly ground black pepper, to taste flour, as needed (about 1 ½ cups) peanut oil, as needed (I used ¼ cup for a 13 ½-inch cast iron skillet.) butter, as needed (I used 1 tablespoon butter for a 13 ½-oz. cast iron skillet.) Prepare chicken by washing, drying, and removing excess fat, gristle, etc. Salt, to taste, working the salt into the chicken, using your hands. Place 1 ½ cups flour in a gallon-sized zip-lock bag.

Hot Dog Stand Recipe - You Can Make Yummy Stadium Style Hot Dogs Right at Home

I made hot dogs the same way pretty much for years. They were always okay, but nothing to brag about. I think maybe in the back of my mind, the lowly wiener was just not important enough to warrant creative input from my imaginative culinary side. Then one day, I decided to try something different.

As a youngster, I was taught to boil the wiener in water, put it in a bun, and squirt various condiments on top. But as I grew and advanced in culinary skills, I knew there had to be a way to improve on this method of cooking a hot dog.

Things that go great with hot dogs are: potato chips, baked beans, coleslaw, or potato salad.

This method of cooking the lowly wiener is now a regular thing around my house. My family loves them, and they really are good. Here's what you'll need:

* All beef wieners (you can eat that other "stuff" if you want, we only eat beef wieners; we also prefer bun length)
* Soft buns (you want fresh buns here, not stale, although you can steam stale buns back to life if you insist on using old bread - I have other uses for old bread such as Bread Pudding with Amaretto Sauce)
* Hot dog relish
* Sauerkraut
* Diced onions
* Mustard and ketchup
* Kraft shredded mexican style four cheese blend
* Hot dog chili sauce (Castleberry's is our favorite)
* Laura's homemade cole slaw
* Butter
* Tin foil
* Crock-pot
* Cast iron skillet

Now, you do not have to do everything the same way I do it. I am letting everyone know how I do it, and you can adjust as you see fit.

Please note the hot dogs need to spend some time in the crock-pot in order to be good, and the steaming method I mention below is great. Plan properly so the dog packets get to warm and meld inside their "packet" in the hot crock-pot. I normally make the dogs and allow them 45 minutes to an hour in the crock.


  1. About an hour before dinner, turn the crock-pot on low and let it get warm.

  2. Heat up the iron skillet, and add a tablespoon of butter.

  3. Fry the beef wieners in the iron skillet.

  4. When they have a good "fry" on the outside, sort of like you get if you grill them, remove and place inside of a fresh non-stale soft bun (I am very particular about my bread being soft and fresh)

  5. Immediately wrap the assembled bun and wiener in tin foil, sealing all edges.

  6. Place in crock-pot.

  7. Repeat with remaining buns and wieners.

  8. Cover the crock-pot and leave it alone.

  9. Heat up the chili in the microwave or on the stove.

  10. Prepare the other condiments.

  11. Get everything on the table, including drinks, chips, dip, whatever.

  12. Then get out one assembled dog at a time for each diner, keeping the rest in the crock-pot with lid on to remain warm.

These warm up really great. Simply take the bun and wiener combination out of aluminum foil (do not forget this step in order to avoid a nasty microwave incident), wrap loosely in a paper towel, and microwave about 10-15 seconds. Do not overdo it, the bun will get hard.

Alternate method: I tried this once and it was even better. Place a rack in the bottom of the crock-pot before adding hot dogs. Add one tablespoon or so of water. Be careful, you do not want to have the dog packets sitting in liquid. The idea is to lightly "steam" them instead.

I usually eat two hot dogs, each made as follows:

Version #1: (ingredients are in the order used) mustard, ketchup, relish, chili sauce, cheese, onions

Version #2: (ingredients are in the order used) mustard, relish, onions, sauerkraut, homemade coleslaw

Now, a note here about slaw. There are all kinds of different ways to make coleslaw. There is also slaw mix that can be bought in a bag. I am as particular about my slaw as I am about my bread. My momma made coleslaw pretty much the same way for years, and it always tasted good.

If you've ever eaten bad coleslaw, you'll remember it. Some fast food restaurants have the audacity to CALL it coleslaw, but it is more like tasteless cardboard "stuff." Did it ever seem to you that the slaw in many restaurants is often stark white, as if it is all made entirely from the cabbage core? Makes you wonder what happened to all of the GREEN stuff.

I'll be sure to place a link to my coleslaw recipe at the end of the article, so be sure and grab that and try it with these delicious stadium style hot dogs.

I am very picky about certain things: fresh bread is one; fresh milk is another; good tasting coleslaw is important; I think the hot dog chili sauce by Castleberry's is great; I use the Kraft Mexican style four cheese blend almost daily; I want to know what is in the meat I eat. However, to each his own. Enjoy!




The difference between good and bad coleslaw is not hard to distinguish. A delicious hot dog deserves delicious coleslaw. You can get the recipe I use for homemade coleslaw and adjust it to your liking.

Now that the colder months are coming, I will be posting a lot of great cold weather recipes. I have been perfecting my Cajun Gumbo Recipe for years now, and it is beyond compare in my humble opinion. Watch for it on my website, The Rancher's Daughter, and test it for yourself. Thanks for reading!

Best Chili Recipes - Crock Pot Chili Recipe For You!

In this article we are going to look at a good old fashioned crock pot chili recipe with beef! this meal can be made with any meat that you want, and can even be made vegetarian style if you wish. It is versatile and delicious! Enjoy! Do you have a crock pot in a closet or kitchen cabinet someplace in your house? Are you a throwback to the 70'S? I am! But what the hey! When was the last time that you used it to actually cook something?

The crock pot is not some old "fad" that has come and gone you know! The crock pot is alive and well today! Just take a look at how it has evolved over the years when you go to the big retail outlets in your town. I remember when they were strictly "manually" operated. A manual knob for warm, medium and high. Today, they are all glitzed up with fancy electronic controls and read out displays!

Today, they are like the crock pots that you would expect on the starship Enterprise! The crock pot is not a lazy way of cooking, on the contrary it is so efficient as to be able to prep the ingredients you want then put them in the crock in the morning and when you get home, viola! dinner is served. It is an economical way of cooking. If you are a chili lover as I am then you know that the crock pot is a great way to make your best chili recipes quickly and easily! So lets make some chili shall we!

The ingredients:

3 pounds of steak. You can use round, flank, skirt, chuck if on a budget. Any cut you want. I like to cube and shred the meat for texture purposes.
1 15oz can of beans. Any will do, kidney, small red beans, pinto beans. No white beans for this recipe though!1 large onion finely chopped either a brown or red onion the choice is yours.
1 large green bell pepper finely chopped.
4 bulbs of garlic finely chopped.
1 small can 6-8 oz tomato sauce.
1 small can 6-8 oz tomato paste.
1 6-7 oz can of diced green chilies.
1 big can 28oz of fire roasted tomatoes with plain or with green chilies mixed in or 6 to 8 large tomatoes that you have roasted on the BBQ.
1 tablespoon of California chili powder.
1 tablespoon of New Mexico chili powder.
1 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
1 1/2 teaspoon of cumin.
3 tablespoons of olive oil.
1 1/2 teaspoons of salt or season salt.

OK, Lets get cooking!

I love large skillets! my fave is a cast iron skillet. I am old fashioned that way! So, get a large skillet and put your beef in it to brown it up in the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. When the beef is all browned it is time to toss it into the crock pot and then toss the rest of your ingredients in there as well! Cook this mixture for 6 to eight hours, and if you are home at the time then taste it every now and again to see if you want to add something to it or not! As an aside as always I suggest cooking this mixture or any chili recipe a day in advance as the flavors get to mingle together, but if that is not possible that is OK too! This meal is ready to eat and enjoy!




In this article we looked at a good old fashioned crock pot chili recipe made with beef. This recipe can be made with any meat that you want and it will come out tasting great!

At that time, children Allison twins at home and in high maintenance costs was not the kitchen and I remember particularly appreciate the speedthis Court. Simple, fast, easy and delicious. As a busy mom could want from a chicken? Feel free to substitute goat cheese for mozzarella, but I like to digest goat cheese too strong for his taste for the seductive and made easier to use than their cheese cows. process, in fact, although about 25% of the U.S. population is lactose intolerance, lactose intolerance, many people still goat cheese. Also, now that I have optimized the recipe I think goat cheese is actually abest game of the mozzarella with sun dried tomatoes and sweet olives salted robust. Make sure you buy high-quality chicken, however. Before free-range chickens, collected the grass (as opposed to factory farmed chickens that nutrition deviant to be fed with grain and regularly imprisoned in cages terrible opposites.) Chicken are much healthier than their cousins because factory farms are less baht per - inflammatory and omega-6 fats and saturated fats as good anti-inflammatoryOmega ...

Recipe For an Old Fashion Applesauce Cake Baked in an Iron Skillet

When I was a child growing up in a rural Southern Indiana community, there were always local gatherings and food was always involved. We met at a local farmer's maple syrup camp in the Fall for a wiener roast and taking turns stirring the syrup. We met in the Summer in a neighbor's front yard for an old fashion ice cream social. in fact, this recipe for Iron Skillet Applesauce Cake was his daughter's recipe. We sometimes met at the vacant lot across from the general store for picnics, often with puppet shows and miniature merry-go-round rides on a merry-go-round provided by the local bread company. The local churches held gospel sings followed by snacks and desserts either on the lawn or later in the fellowship halls. Some of my favorite recipes come from foods brought to these functions by the good cooks in the neighborhood. Many of the recipes I post, such as this one, are from these very gatherings. Ah, the memories. Times certainly do change but memories remain!

IRON SKILLET APPLESAUCE CAKE
This recipe was from a neighbor when I was a child.

1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup raisins

Preheat the oven to a temperature of 325 degrees. Line the bottom of an iron skillet with waxed paper and set it aside while mixing cake.

Dissolve soda in applesauce. Stir in the sugars, butter, and the beaten egg. Blend in the flour and spices. Add the raisins which have been plumped by mixing 1/4 cup sugar and a little water and bringing to a boil with the raisins. When the cake batter is mixed well pour the batter into the iron skillet and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.

Enjoy!

Betty's Oven Baked Round Steak and Rich Gravy Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her traditional and popular Oven Baked Round Steak and Rich gravy recipe. I think you'll find it to be home style cooking at its best! Ingredients: 2 pounds round steak (I used eye of round steak in 6 equally-sized steaks.) meat tenderizer to taste 1 1/4 cups flour (in a zip lock bag) ground black pepper, to taste 1/2 cup peanut oil For gravy: pan drippings from baked round steak 1/2 cup flour 3 1/2 cups water (more or less as needed for proper consistency) salt, to taste Sprinkle meat tenderizer on top and bottom of each of the eye of round steaks. Place them two at a time in the 1 1/4 cups flour, which is in a zip lock bag. Shake the bag to coat the steaks. Heat 1/4 cup peanut oil in an iron (or other oven-proof) skillet on a cooktop. Do not let it smoke. When the oil is properly heated, place the flour-coated steaks one by one in the hot peanut oil. When the steaks brown on one side, turn them over, and keep shifting the 6 steaks in the skillet until all sides have been exposed to the hot oil. Now, remove the skillet from the cooktop, and place it toward the center of an oven that has been preheated to 400 degrees. Cook the steaks for 30 to 35 minutes, checking occasionally, and turning if they look brown on the bottom. When they look browned and done, remove the skillet from the oven and place it back on the cooktop. Remove all of the steaks to a platter that is covered with paper toweling to drain any excess grease. Then ...

Betty's Philly Beef Torpedo Sandwich Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make one of her husband's favorite sandwiches, her Philly Beef Torpedo Sandwich.

Ingredients: 1/2 green bell pepper, sliced into rings 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced into rings 1 medium to large onion, sliced into rings 1 cup sliced portobello mushrooms (You may choose any variety of mushroom.) 1/2 pound shaved roast beef (from the deli section of your supermarket) 4 slices Swiss cheese (You may use provolone, white American, or Cheeze Whiz.) 2 bolillo sandwich buns (You may use any type of hoagie/submarine bun.) 2 tablespoons butter, softened 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Separate the bolillo buns, and cut each one in half lengthwise, forming a "top" and a "bottom" for each sandwich. (This recipe will make 2 sandwiches--with some extra vegetables left over for the side.) Spread the cut sides with the 2 tablespoons of softened butter. Place them, buttered side down, in a skillet, and brown them over low heat, watching constantly, so that they do not burn.

Hashbrowns Recipe - Fried Just Like The Diner

Hashbrowns Recipe - how to make perfect homemade hashbrowns each and every time with my foolproof recipe that your family will love every time you serve it!

I've been making hash browns for the family for years, and I have to admit that my recipe wasn't always the best. I can remember when I was just a kid having my grandma make homemade hash browns and they would be so crispy and perfect each and every time, just like her fried potatoes. Also, I remember trips to the local diner or Big Boy for breakfast and every time you get these delicious toasty brown crispy edged hash browns that were so juicy and yummy inside. I'm going to teach you how to make the perfect hash browns each and every time!

Before you start make sure that you have an adequate pan which is either cast iron and well used or a modern large saucepan skillet with teflon coating. If you don't have a good pan these hash browns will never turn out quite right.

What you will need for recipe ingredients:


About 8 medium to large russet potatoes
A good grater with about 1/8"-1/4" holes
salt and pepper to taste
Canola Oil or Crisco Shortening
1 cup diced onion (or green pepper) if you prefer

In a large mixing bowl shred the potatoes with a grater. I prefer with the skins on (which gives you tons of Iron and is great for your body), others in the family like them better peeled. When you're down to your last potato put your skillet on the stove and turn on the heat to med-high (just below high). Toss in your onion and green pepper if desired into the shredded potatoes. Every now and then I'll add some minced or fresh garlic. Add about 3/4 cup of either canola oil or crisco shortening to the pan (I prefer shortening). There is NO subsitute for these - butter WILL NOT work (it burns off too fast). Once the oil is hot, turn the pan from side to side evenly coating, and then carefully dump the shredded potatoes in the pan (without splashing yourself with hot grease). Salt and pepper them in the pan to taste.

Let them cook uncovered in the pan for 5-6 minutes without turning or touching in any way. Then divide into 4 sections with your spatula (as in the picture above) and flip one at a time. Salt and pepper again if desired. Let cook uncovered another 5-7 minutes and you should be done just like the picture.

The secret to perfect hash browns is a good pan, the temperature of the heat, using oil or shortening (and not butter) - but most importantly only turning them one time! This ensures the crispy texture that you expect from a perfect has brown recipe!
