LOL

Don't ask me how this happened, but I currently have 5 brand new oversized bottles of ketchup in my fridge! There's only DH & I, and we only use ketchup for things like french fries which is maybe twice a year.

Not wanting to toss them out, I'm hoping you can give me some recipes so I can get some room back in my fridge!!

    Off the top of my head I can only think of cocktail sauce for boiled shrimp using ketchup, grated horseradish & some fresh lemon juice.
    I'll be back if I find some more.

    Meatloaf! Also baked beans which I'm not fond of but was asked to bring to a BBQ & made this one to good reviews:
    BAKED BEANS (serves 8-10)
    2 lbs cooked navy beans or other white beans
    1 1/2 cups tomato juice
    1 cup chopped pecqans, toasted
    3/4 cup dark brown sugar
    3/4 cup strong black coffee
    1/2 medium red onion, chopped
    1/2 cup ketchup
    1/2 cup bourbon
    4 slices bacon, chopped
    1 carrot, grated fine (I omitted)
    2 TBL unsulphured dark molasses
    2 TBL dry mustard

    Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Pour into a baking dish. Bake the beans uncovered about 1 1/2 hours or until they have thickened & cooked down with a skin just beginning to form on the top of the beans. (These reheat well & will keep several days.)

    This freezes OK so you can make a double batch and freeze half.

    SLOPPY JOES

    1 lb. lean ground beef
    2 medium or 1 large onion, finely minced
    1/2 cup ketchup
    1/2 cup water
    1 Tbs. sugar
    1 Tbs. cider vinegar
    1 Tbs. prepared mustard
    1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce

    Brown ground beef and onion together, breaking up beef into smaller pieces. Meanwhile, mix remaining ingredients together. When beef is no longer pink, drain off any excess fat. Add ketchup mixture and stir. Cook, uncovered, over low heat until sauce is reduced and onion is soft.

    Notes: 1 Tbs. sweet pickle relish can be added at the end or some finely minced red or green pepper added along with the onion. Salt & pepper is usually not needed.

    How about making up several batches of BBQ sauce and then freezing it.

    Here is a recipe that was posted some time ago and is very good. It is a bit elaborate, you could modify it to your liking. I'm sure there are lots of versions on the WEB.

    Dianasours Mutha Sauce

    ¼ Cup vegetable oil
    1 Cup minced onion
    ½ Cup minced green pepper
    1 jalapeno pepper seeded and minced
    Pinch each of salt and black pepper
    2 Tbl minced garlic
    1 Can (28 ounces) tomato sauce
    2 Cup ketchup (preferably Heinz)
    1 Cup water
    ¾ Cup Worcestershire sauce
    ½ Cup cider vinegar
    ¼ Cup lemon juice
    ¼ Cup molasses
    ¼ Cup cayenne pepper sauce
    ¼ Cup spicy brown mustard
    ¾ Cup dark brown sugar packed
    1 Tbl chili powder
    2 Tsp coarsely ground black pepper
    ¼ Tsp ground allspice
    1 Tbl Liquid Smoke (optional)

    Pour the oil into a large saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Toss in the onions, green peppers and jalapeno and give them a stir. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until soft and golden. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Dump in everything else except the Liquid Smoke. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat so the sauce simmers. Simmer for 10 minutes. Swirl in the Liquid Smoke and let the sauce cool. Pour it into a container, cover and store in the fridge until ready to use. (makes 6 to 7 cups)


    Here is another one that is a knock off from a very popular rib joint in Windsor Ontario...I love this sauce. It freezes well too.


    TBQ Sauce (Ann) Tunnel BBQ

    1/2 Cup Ketcup
    1/4 Cup prepared mustard
    1/2 Cup vinegar white
    1 1/2 Tsp salt
    1 1/2 Tsp garlic powder
    1 Tsp black pepper
    1 Tsp cayenne pepper
    1/2 Tsp chile powder
    1/8 Cup white sugar.
    Place all ingredients in a blender and mix. Store unrefrigerated. Seems to last forever.

    Note Chile powder, sugar and mustard all reduced by half from original recipe.

    Have a big party and serve pork chops LOL

    JIMMY STEWARTS FAVORITE PORK CHOPS (don't know if this is true),but I do know they are so easy to prepare, and they are really good!

    Pork Chops (any amount you want)

    Ketchup

    Brown sugar

    Lemon slices

    Onion slices

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    In casserole or pan, place pork chops.
    Top each with 1 tablespoon ketchup,
    1 tablespoon brown sugar,
    1 slice onion,
    1 thin slice lemon. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on thickness of the pork chops, and how well you like them.

    DELISH!

    Since they're brand new can you give them to a food basket through your church or some other organization? That's a heck of a lot of ketchup - it would last a lifetime in this house, LOL.

    Forgot about this one. It's practically fool-proof:
    BBQ CHICKEN
    1 frying-size chicken, quartered
    1 onion, sliced
    Sauce:
    3/4 cup catsup
    4 TBL Worcestershire sauce
    2 tsp prepared mustard
    3/4 cup vinegar
    2 bay leaves
    1/2 cup water
    1 TBL sugar
    1/4 tsp salt
    Tabasco
    combine ingredients for sauce, pour over chicken & cook in a preheated 350° oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until done. Baste frequently.~~Queen Anne's Table

    DEBBIE 814'S HARLEY HOG SANDWICHES
    This is the best sandwich I have ever had. My guests go crazy for it. I usually cook the pork butt in the oven, and it comes out just as good. Enjoy!! Debbie

    6 to 8 lb. boneless pork butt, tied

    Rub
    1 cup Kosher salt
    1 cup course ground black pepper
    1 cup paprika (sweet Hungarian is best)
    2 cups hickory wood chips
    1 cup apple wood chips

    Hog Sauce
    2 large onions, chopped
    3 tablespoons vegetable oil
    1 tablespoon paprika
    1 tablespoons chili powder
    1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
    1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    5 1/4 cups (42 ounces) canned tomatoes, with juice
    3 cups cider vinegar
    1 3/4 cups ketchup
    1/2 cup orange juice
    1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
    1/4 cup brown mustard
    1 tablespoon salt
    1 tablespoon coarse black pepper

    12 large round rolls

    1. Combine all of the rub ingredients. Coat the pork butt evenly with mixture, shaking off any excess.
    2. Soak wood chips in water 30 minutes. Place pork butt in a smoker on rack at 220 degrees for 8 hours, with smoke going for 2 hours. Let it cool slightly. Break the meat apart with your hands.
    3. Sauté' onions in oil in heavy saucepan until translucent. Add the remaining ingredients and cook until mixture is thick and coats the back of a spoon. Puree the sauce and let it cool. (Sauce can be made 2 to 3 days in advance and refrigerated.)
    4. Combine the pork and the sauce (to taste) in a heavy saucepan. Cook until it is heated through.
    5. To serve: Pile the pork on the rolls. Serve with french fries and cole slaw if desired. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com)
    Yields 12 servings.

    Todd's Tidbits

    You can also smoke your pork in a charcoal barbecue, such as a round Weber Grill. Just arrange the charcoal around the edge of the inside of the grill. When the coals are hot, place the soaked wood chips on them, and then place the pork on the center of the rack above the coals. Cover. Cook the meat for 2-4 hours or until the internal temperature comes to 150°-165°.

    If the bottles are brand new, why are you keeping them in the refrigerator instead of on the shelf?
    I would keep one and a spare, give the rest to the food pantry and make a batch of BBQ sauce and grill some ribs.

    I was thinking of this thread when I was making a salad for dinner tonight......seems to me back before there was the tremendous selection of "store bought" dressings that are out there.......when I was a kid learning to cook, we used to make our own version of 1000 Island dressing with equal amounts of mayo and ketchup + some sweet pickle relish. And we would put it over a wedge of iceberg lettuce. Didn't have mesclun or arugula back then. LOL. Anyone else remember that??

    RL, I still do that for Ken - he likes it with cold boiled shrimp instead of the horseradish cocktail sauce and I like it on a turkey sandwich!

    Hand Cut French Fries with Spicy Ketchup

    Use direct/medium heat on grill
    1/4 cup ketchup
    1/2 tsp chile sauce
    1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar
    2 russet potatoes, about 8 oz each
    1 T olive oil
    1 T minced garlic
    1/2 tsp kosher salt
    1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper

    In a small bowl mix together the ketchup, chile sauce and balsamic vinegar. Set aside

    Scrub the potatoes under cold running water and dry thoroughly but do not peel. cut lengthwise into 1/2" thick slices, then cut the slices into 1/4" thick wedges. Place the wedges in a medium bowl. Toss with the olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.

    Place the wedges on the grill, being careful not to let them drop through the openings. Cook directly over medium heat until golden brown, turning once, about 10 minutes. For extra crispy fries, open the grill and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, turning once.

    Serve warm with the ketchup. Makes 4 servings.

    My note: I tried this with one large baking potato. Sliced maybe 1/4-1/8" thick slices. Rolled them in light olive oil,garlic powder and salt & pepper. Grilled until browned. My ketchup mixture was about 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup chile sauce and I drizzled a bit of balsamic vinegar. Very good!

    Being from the northeast, Woodie, do you remember the red hamburger relish they used to sell up there? Maybe they still do......we are going back in Oct. and I will look for it then but I did find a recipe for it on line a while back.

    RL, I do not remember any red relish. I'll look for it, but I don't believe I've ever noticed red relish. I'm leaving for the lake tomorrow morning - maybe I'l find some up in the north country.

    I remember red relish, yellowish relish, too. and the green. I never cared for relish but we always had it in the house for my dad. He loved it! Here's a link, Roselin.

    You can use all ketchup in this brisket recipe. It's a big favorite at our house!
    BRISKET
    1 4-pound beef brisket
    Kosher salt
    Pepper
    2 onions, thinly sliced into half moons
    1/2 cup ketchup
    1/2 cup prepared chile sauce (Heinz Chile Sauce)
    3 tablespoons brown sugar (I use more)
    6 cloves garlic, minced
    1 12-ounce bottle beer

    Salt and pepper both sides of the meat. Place beef in a roasting pan. Cover with onion. Combine ketchup, chile sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and beer. Pour mixture over meat. Cover securely with foil. Bake at 300 degrees F for about 4 hours or until the brisket is fork tender. You can puree the gravy if you like it thicker.

    NOTES : Use more onions if you want to. I like lots of onions in the gravy. I don't puree the gravy. Freezes well. It tastes even better the next day!

    Thanks for the link.......for some reason, I think that Heinz used to make it too and it was just called "Hamburger Relish". If I don't find any on our trip, will order some of this and see if it is the same.

    Quick Curry. Use any kind of meat and brown it in a little oil and add curry power, chopped onions and maybe a little garlic. Mix a bottle of K with equal amount of water and cook down. Great curry over rice

    Sara Moultons never fail brisket last night. It's really worth a try.
