Baking pies for a large crowd can be intimidating and time-consuming, but Gail Simmons stopped by "Good Morning America" with Food & Wine's quick fix. By using an easy press-in crust and turning the pies into bars, you can feed large amounts of people with a lot less work. Try this simple baked press-in crust for your pies this Thanksgiving.

Ingredients

2 1/2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour sifted with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Cooking Directions

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle, cream the butter with the sugars at medium speed for 2 minutes. With the mixer at low speed, beat in the sifted flour-and-salt mixture.

Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing 2 inches of overhang on the 2 long sides. Transfer the dough to the pan and press it over the bottom and 1 1/4 inches up the side all around. (You can cover the dough with plastic wrap and press with the bottom of a measuring cup.) Be sure the corners are not too thick. Refrigerate until firm.

Bake the crust for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden brown; halfway through baking, use the back of a spoon to smooth the sides and corners of the crust. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the crust cool before filling.

Pork Meatballs

Pork Meatballs

Ingredients

• 1 pound veal
• 1 pound beef
• 1 pound pork
• 2 large eggs
• Black pepper and kosher salt, to taste
• 1 tbsp. garlic powder
• 2 cups finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
• 2 cups Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
• 1 cup Italian-style Progresso breadcrumbs
• 1 loaf of day-old Italian bread
• 2 cups of warm water
• Vegetable oil

1. Mix the ground meat together in a bowl.
2. Crack two large eggs into another bowl and .whisk them together. Pour the eggs into the meat mixture

3. Add the pepper, salt, garlic powder, parsley, cheese and bread crumbs.

4. Get a loaf of day-old Italian bread and break it into small pieces. Soak the bread in warm water until it's soft, and then squeeze all the water out. Add the bread to the meat mixture and mix everything together.

5. Roll the meat into 4 ounce balls, or whatever size you like. One of my grandmothers made hers big, the other one made hers small.

6. Fill a deep pan half-way with vegetable oil and make sure the oil is hot before adding the meatballs. To test the oil, take a small piece of meat from the meatball and throw it in the oil. If the meat begins to fry, it's ready to go.

7. Working in batches, brown the meatballs for three minutes on one side and then three minutes on the other side. Remove and serve with a salad of Romaine, cucumber, red onion, cherry tomatoes, imported Italian wine vinegar, EVOO and ricotta.

Granny’s Cocoa Cream Pie

is a great old hard to find recipe~

Granny’s Cocoa Cream Pie

It’s simple and tasty. This really was a simple desert often used during the 30’s and 40’s.

½ c. cocoa

¼ cup cornstarch/or arrowroot powder (or ½ c. all purpose flour)

3 egg yolks

1 ½ c. sugar

¼ tsp. salt

2 c. milk

1 tsp. vanilla

Mix cocoa, cornstarch, beaten egg yolks; sugar and salt, then add milk gradually, while stirring in a pot over med-high heat. Cook until thick, beating it smooth. Cream pies take some time to thicken, so stir... and stir (10-15 min). Using a heavy bottom pan really helps. Just keep it up until it thickens. Pour into a pre-baked pie shell. Put in the fridge to chill, add whipped cream if you like :0 Or use the left over egg whites for a meringue topping!

blueberry muffins

These blueberry muffins are wonderful.  This makes a big muffin and is great for breakfast with coffee or as a snack anytime.  I love any kind of berry and these muffins are one of my favorites.

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup oil (I use Canola)

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 cup sour cream

Walnuts (Optional)

 

In a mixing bowl, mix eggs, sugars, oil, vanilla with mixer.  Add flour, spices and remaining ingredients except blueberries and nuts and continue mixing.  Fold in blueberries.  Spray a 12 cup muffin pan or use paper muffin cups. Fill almost to the top of each cup with muffin mixture.  Once you fill the cups mix some sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle on top of the muffins. If using nuts, sprinkle them on top, too. I used walnuts and just put a few pieces on top of each muffin after sprinkling with sugar and cinnamon. Bake in preheated 400 degree oven 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.  Makes 12 large muffins.   Enjoy!

Peanut Butter Cup Brownies

Peanut Butter Cup Brownies (Makes 1 dozen brownies)


3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon water
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium sized microwave-safe bowl combine sugar, softened butter, and water. Microwave on high for about 45 seconds or until butter is melted. Stir in 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted. Stir in egg and vanilla extract, mix well. Add flour and baking soda, stir until combined. Allow the batter to cool to room temperature (doesn't take very long). Then, stir in 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips and remaining 1/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Spoon batter evenly into Reynolds Staybrite muffin cups.

Bake for 13-15 minutes or until top is set and a toothpick inserted into centre comes out slightly wet. After brownies are out of the oven, wait for centres to fall. This will happen upon cooling. If not then tap the centres with the back of a teaspoon to make a hole for the peanut butter.

Place peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 45 seconds then stir. While brownies are still war spoon about a tablespoon full of peanut butter into the centre of each brownie. Top with remaining 1/3 cup of milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Cool completely in pan.
Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator. To reheat the brownies just pop ‘em in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.

Ranch Potatoes

Ranch Potatoes 
8 -10 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes 
1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted 
1 1/4 cups milk 1 envelope ranch dressing mix 
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided 
salt and pepper 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled 
Add the potatoes to a saucepan. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil; cook about 10-1
2 minutes or until potatoes are almost tender; drain. 
Place drained potatoes into a greased 13x9 inch baking dish. In a bowl, 
mix together the soup, milk, salad dressing mix, 1 cup cheese, salt and pepper to taste; pour over potatoes. 
Sprinkle crumbled bacon and the remaining cheese over the top. 
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are tender 
This was very simple to make. 
I did mix potatoes with main ingredients before putting them in the pan and topping with the additional cheese and bacon. I had a ton of potatoes from the garden so I made up 4 13x9 pans of them. When completely cooled in fridge, I bagged up in quart-sized freezer bags and froze the rest. We just had some last night again from the freezer and they're as good as freshly made! — with Debby Smith.
