Mom's Easy Recipes

I found these old things on one of my flash drives. My mom made these dishes all the time. They're not the most healthy, but they're super tasty. Here are the recipes:




Toffee Cookies
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg yolk
2 c(ups) sifted flour
1 tsp vanilla
4 hershey bars (king sized)
1 bag chopped nuts

Cream butter and add sugar. Add beaten egg yolks and mix thoroughly. Add flour, beating well. Add the vanilla and then spread the batter onto a greased cookie sheet. Heat the oven to 350 degrees and once heated, put the cookie sheet in the oven for 25 minutes. Once ready, put the chocolate on top of the hot cookie and spread it around the cookie to melt it. Then sprinkle the nuts on top and cut cookies into whatever size you want



Green Bean Casserole
2 9oz packages of frozen cut green beans, thawed and drained (OR 2cans (16oz each) cut green beans, drained
3/4 cup milk
1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup (Campbell’s brand)
1/8 teaspoon (Durkee brand) Ground Black Pepper
1 can (2.8 oz) (Durkee brand) French Fried Onions

In a medium bowl, combine beans, milk, soup, pepper, and 1/2 can french fried onions, pour into a 1 1/2 quart baking dish. Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30min or until heated through. Then top with remaining onions, bake uncovered for 5 minutes (or until onions are golden brown). Makes 6 servings



Rice Pilaf 
1 stick butter
2 bag extra fine egg noodles (Manishevitz brand)
1 cup minute rice (Uncle Ben’s brand -- maybe -- a red box)  optional
2 cans of 98% fat free chicken broth (cottage inn or Jewel/generic brand)
1-2 chicken flavored bullions (bullion cubes)
1/4 cup water

On the side, boil the water and the bullion cubes. In a large pan, put the butter in it to melt it. Cook the egg noodles until browned in the pan. Add the cup of (dry) minute rice over the noodles. Carefully dump in the chicken broth. Simmer everything (on 10watts or low setting) in the covered pan for 20-25min. Then, dump the bullion water on top and recover and continue to cook (the same way) for 20-25 more minutes
