Don't flee after seeing the name, or the outcome for that matter, as it does kind of look like a shipwreck. He found it over a year ago in my Mom's church cookbook from the 1950's. Now, when given kitchen duty, he makes it at least once a week. Ship-Wreck Stew 1 lb. ground beef 1 can of milk 1 can drained kidney beans 1 onion (cut up) 3 potatoes (cut into pieces) salt and pepper to taste 1 can tomato soup 1 cup carrotts (optional) Brown meat and onion: add other ingredients (be sure to cut potatoes and carrots small or they will be crunchy). Put in large casserole. Bake about 1 1/2 hours at 350 degrees. Remove lid last half hour to brown. My Dad’s favorite recipe is “Ship Wreck Stew”.

From his practically-a-meal-untoitself potato salad, which we ate every year at the 4th of July picnic, to the potato pancakes that never make it to the table at Hanukkah to the chili whose recipe has been shared so often... My dad makes really good, basic food. But one of our favoites is one from his own childhood. His father used to make him pizzas on English muffins. My dad makes his own sauce and then tops the English muffin with mozzarella and toasts them in the oven. These are such a quick and easy treat that when he brings them up to us, inevitably we finish them in minutes and my kids call downstairs and "order up" more of GrandDad's pizzas!

It contains, Sundried Tomatoes, Kalamata Olives, Garlic and Basil and is molded and shaped with love.

We find as we get older those family gatherings seem to get fewer and fewer so around any holiday I start getting a craving for these little guys. As most recipes goes it usually consists of a shake here, and a shake there, but here goes (also it always tastes better when he makes them!) Steak house Shrooms Whole Mushrooms, stems removed, cleaned and inside hollowed out Sharp shredded cheddar cheese 1 stick butter Breadcrumbs Worchestire Red Wine Vinegar Dip each mushroom in butter and set on baking sheet. Mix together cheese, some butter, breadcrumbs, red wine vinegar and worchestire. This is a to taste recipe, but since the mixture is a stuffing for the mushroom it should be sticky and form a nice ball. Stuff mushroom, drizzle butter on top, and place in oven at 450-500 on broil until they form a nice crust. ENJOY!!!

One of his favorites he just called Goop! He would take Karo Dark Corn Syrup & mix it with creamy peanut butter & regular butter. Mix until smooth & then spread on bread or saltine crackers. This was a great after dinner snack or dessert. Yummy! My Dad was not a cook but he managed to come up with some unique & tasty snacks. One of his favorites he just called Goop!

It made the best ribs and chicken and a memory to last forever.

It was an all day affair with much basting, chopping, strong country seasonings and presented with great fanfare. It's the dressing I still make (and keep close to my heart).
