Bob's Notes:

Found a recipe in our news paper and though it needed improving..This turned out to be a big hit.

 

Directions

1
You will need a med-large casserole dish and a heave duty skillet.
In the skillet fry bacon till crisp. Remove from skillet with a sloted spoon,drain and crumble,save..
In the bacon drippings add onion and mushrooms.Cook for 3-5 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon. Now I save my bacon drippings. But you can do what you will.

This sounds delicious - and perfect for those things you have "some of" in the fridge or cabinet! Will the recipe work if you use whole eggs rather than just egg whites?

Thank you.

Bob, did you ever hear of a recipe called "Fried Apples & Onions"?
Laura Ingalls Wilder mentions it a few times in her book, Farmer Boy - the story of her husband's boyhood.
But she never explains how it was made. I'm assuming just sliced apples, onions, a little butter or bacon grease, and some seasonings, but what seasonings? LIW says her husband's mouth used to water as a boy, just waiting for the Apples & Onions to be served, so I'm thinking it had some great spices.
Have you ever run across a recipe like this?

Bob this sounds really good, I just bought maple smoked bacon at the butcher this week and I have some apples in the fridge that I need to use.. So what did you make with all the egg yolks?

Hey, Bob - I just found this online.

Almanzo Wilders Fried Apples n Onions
• 15 minutes to make
• Serves 6

This is one of my most favorite side dishes! It comes from the Little House on the Prairie cookbook where it took the excerpt from Farmer Boy.

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb bacon
• 6 yellow onions sliced
• 6 tart apples (i use granny smith or fugi) sliced
• 2 tbsp brown sugar

How to make it

• In a large skillet fry the bacon until brown and crisp
• Remove bacon and put on a warming platter
• Drain all but 1 tbsp of bacon grease
• Add the onion slices
• Cook over medium high heat for about 3 minutes
• Add the apple slices
• Stir in the brown sugar
• Cover the skillet and let cook until onions and apples are tender but not mushy
• Stir enough to prevent scorching
• Remove to large serving bowl and crumble bacon on top.
• Serve immediately.
