AnnMarie's Sweet Potato Bake

While every Thanksgiving is pretty much the same,  each family member has their choice of a  favorite vegetable dish (which meant at times I had 8 to 10 different ones on the table). Every year I would look for a way to make sweet potatoes a different way.  I am listing two sweet potato recipes here.

Sweet Potatoes and Applesauce

1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar  
1 T margarine
1/4 tsp salt                                                             
1/2 pt of applesauce
1/4 tsp nutmeg
If using canned potatoes drain well, if whole slice and layer bottom of casserole. Sprinkle with salt, spoon applesauce over sweet potatoes, sprinkle with brown sugar and dot with margarine. Sprinkle with nutmeg and bake in a 375 oven for 30-to 35 minutes. This would be enough for 4 people.

Baked Chicken Salad  

My mother used to make this for our family when I was little. She was born in 1931 in Overland, MO. With a total of 5 in our family (dad, mom and two sisters) she must have at least doubled the recipe. It was so good with the potato chips on top.

1 – 6 oz can chicken, coarsely cut
¾ cups thinly sliced celery
¼ cup coarsely chopped walnuts
¼ tsp. salt & pepper
1 tsp minced onion

1 tbs lemon juice

1/3 to ½ cup mayonnaise

½ cup crushed potato chips

Preheat oven at 425'F degrees. Combine chicken & all other ingredients (except potato chips). Toss lightly, heap into  greased casserole and top with  crushed potato chips. Bake at 425'F degrees for 15 minutes, or just until heated through.

Easy Tuna Casserole

This recipe is called a "casserole" BUT it doesn't "cook" like a casserole, it is made wholly on the stove top! I would crunch up either some potato chips, sprinkle over the top of these ingredients that I would put into a greased casserole dish OR sprinkle buttered bread crumbs on top, then slip "casserole" in the oven until the "top crust" is golden. Watch it tho!
IF you are in a hurry..the stove top method alone would work!
