Delicious! That covers it. Oh, except that this makes 4 heroes, subs, or hogies whatever you wish to call them.

2 lbs. sirloin steak sliced very thin (ask the butcher to prepare for you)
2 large yellow onions, peeled and sliced or diced
2 green bell peppres, seeded and sliced or chopped
2 tbsp. minced garlic

Here is a more healthy version of meatballs than using ground beef. Although I’m with Julia Child in regards to everything in moderation, some folks prefer these over beef. Therefore I am including my delicious version for my readers. Add these to spaghetti sauce and simmer for about 30 minutes, or just eat as is with [...]

This recipe is so utterly delicious and messy, the whole family will enjoy this one! Please note that an all-day or overnight marinade is essential, so plan ahead.
4-6 lbs. pork ribs - separated, or not - you decide
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce (Chinese or Thai works well)
1/4 cup jellied cranberry sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. Italian seasoning

This sauce can be made in a little over 1 hour. It presents very well on its own, but is so good with my meatballs. I can hear Frank singing in the background.

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 oz. fatback or salt pork OR 2 Tbsp. bacon fat*
1 small onion, [...]

1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper

This is what you do with those bags of broccoli slaw found near the bags of lettuce and coleslaw at your grocer. Add a sprinkling of nuts (walnuts, pine nut, pecans) whatever you wish to bump it up another notch.  Oddly, this went quite well with egg salad sandwiches.
1 pkg. broccoli slaw mix
2 pkgs. [...]

These should be called “The Disappearing Party Sausage” because that’s just what will happen once you bring these out!
2 lbs. fully cooked mini smoked sausages (Perhaps Hillshire Farms)

1 8oz. bottle Russian or Thousand Island dressing
1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cup pineapple juice
In a large, deep skillet [...]

A contribution from my sister Sandy who uses this as a sauce for broccoli and cauliflower all through the Autumn & Winter months. It’s almost difficult to eat broccoli without it; it’s unthinkable at Thanksgiving!
2 Tbsp. butter
3 Tbsp. flour
Kosher salt
Ground black pepper
3 cups milk
2+ cups shredded cheddar cheese
In a medium saucepan on medium-high heat, melt [...]
