MRS.CLAUS' HOT PINK CHOCOLATE

I like changing my hot chocolate up a bit. Its so easy with extracts, herbs, even fruits. So I thought Mrs.Claus deserved her own hot chocolate! Besides when it comes to flavored milk, my Granddaughters and myself would choose strawberry over chocolate.

MRS. CLAUS'S CASSEROLE

I found this recipe in a magazine some 20 yrs ago. It is a delicious, hearty meal for a cold winter's night. I reduce the fat content by using a non-stick pan and pouring off half of the bacon fat. It is easy to stretch the recipe by adding more potatoes and carrots. I use a 4 qt. "everything" pan with a non-stick finish. From Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage and Polish Kielbasa. I add 1 clove of minced garlic, for a little extra kick. I leave out the celery, that's my preference. My family likes it with a dollop of Dijon mustard on the side. I also cook the broccoli on the side.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

6 slice(s) bacon
4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 bunch(es) broccoli, trimmed and sliced
4 - carrots, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup(s) celery, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 pound(s) hillshire farm smoked sausage or polish kielbasa, sliced
pinch(es) salt and pepper

Steps:

In a large heavy skillet, fry the bacon until crisp. Remove bacon. Blot the bacon with a paper towel and set aside. (This is where I drain off half the bacon fat.)
Add the potatoes, celery, onion and carrots to the bacon fat in the pan. Stir to coat with the bacon fat. Fry over medium heat. Add 1 clove of garlic, minced. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Stir occasionally. The original recipe says to fry uncovered. I use a lid, because it cooks faster and comes out softer.
When the vegetables are tender, place the broccoli and sausage on top. Cover and heat for 12-15 minutes until thoroughly heated. The broccoli will steam with the sausage. Crumble the cooked bacon on top before serving.

Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will make a big difference in the final product. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a smooth, even texture.
Be patient: Chocolate is a delicate ingredient, so it's important to be patient when working with it. Don't overheat chocolate or stir it too vigorously, as this can cause it to seize.
Don't overmix: Overmixing can make your cookies or cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven can also affect the outcome of your baked goods. Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking.

Conclusion:

Baking with chocolate can be a fun and rewarding experience. By following these tips, you can create delicious chocolate treats that your family and friends will love. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet, reach for some chocolate and start baking!
