Corn Casserole:





2 cans reg corn (drained)


2 cans cream style corn


1 16oz sour cream


2 boxes Jiffy corn muffin mix


2 eggs


2/3 cup milk


Mix all ingredients together


Pour into 13x9 pan


Pre heat oven--400*


Bake 45mins to 1 hour
Three things we always have on the holiday table- brussel sprouts, scalloped oysters and saurkraut- not your normal sides, but oh, so good!





Brussel Sprouts Pignoli


- 3 pounds fresh brussel sprouts, trimmed


- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil


kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste


- 3/4 cup fresh grated parmesan or asiago cheese


- 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts


Directions


Preheat oven to 400掳.


In a food processor fitted with a slicing blade, coarsely shred the brussel sprouts. If doubling this recipe, you will have to do the shredding in two batches.


On one large or 2 medium baking sheets, toss the brussel sprouts with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.


Spread out in an even layer.


Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally so they do not burn.


Watch them carefully.


Remove from oven, sprinkle with parmesan or asiago cheese and toss.


Bake for 1-2 minutes more.


Transfer to a bowl and top with toasted pine nuts. (0ptional).


Can be made up to 2 hours ahead. Rewarm before serving.








Scalloped Oysters


1 quart shucked oysters in their liquor


2 cups coarsely crushed saltine crackers


1 cup dry bread crumbs


3/4 cup melted butter


1 cup cream


1 dash tabasco


Nutmeg


Salt and pepper


Celery salt, optional





Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.


Pick oysters free of any shells.


In a deep buttered casserole, mix together crackers, bread crumbs, and melted butter. Place a thin layer of crumb mixture in the bottom of the casserole. Cover it with half of the oysters. Season cream with nutmeg, tabasco,salt, pepper and celery salt (if using). Pour half of this mixture over the oysters. On the next layer, use the oysters, 3/4 of the remaining crumb mixture and cover that with seasoned cream. Top with the remaining crumbs. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.





Saurkraut with Apples and Bacon


1/4 pound sliced apple-wood smoked bacon


2 tart apples, such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and grated


1 yellow onion, diced


2 cloves garlic, minced


1 teaspoon caraway seeds, ground


3 cups apple cider or apple juice


1/4 cup white wine vinegar


2 pounds of refrigerated (in a jar, not can), prepared sauerkraut, drained (about 1 24-fluid-ounce jar, drained)








1 Put bacon in a large, high-sided oven-proof saut茅 pan with a lid and place over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until most of the fat has been rendered out, turning as needed. Drain excess fat from pan (leave in about a tablespoon). Remove bacon from the pan and let cool on a plate lined with a paper towel. Roughly chop the bacon and set aside.





2 Add the apples, onion, garlic, and caraway and decrease the heat to low. Cover partially and cook for 10 minutes, until the onion is tender.





3 Remove the lid, stir in the apple cider and vinegar, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced to a thick, syrupy consistency.





4 Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the sauerkraut and bacon, cover, and cook 10 minutes, or until sauerkraut is heated through and tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper
