Sunday Dinner

Menu:

Curried Chicken Fingers
Cheater Beans
Macaroni Salad

How-to:

Chicken: cut boneless, skinless chicken breast into strips and toss with sourcream blended with a healthy dose of curry powder. After allowing this to marinate for as long as you like/have time for, roll the strips in plain panko (japanese breadcrumbs) and give it a shallow fry. Depending on the thickness of your strips, you can finish cooking in the oven.

Beans: combine a 28-ounce jar of Randall's Great Northern Beans, undrained with 1 pound chopped bacon, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp dillweed, 2 tsp dry mustard, 2 tsp dehydrated onion. Cover and cook in the microwave on High for 35 minutes. Uncover, transfer to a 400 degree F oven for another 30 minutes or so. (These are even better the next day)

Mac Salad: cook desired amount of elbow macaroni and hard cook some eggs (my ratio is usually 4 eggs for a half pound of pasta or 6-8 eggs for a whole pound). While those items cook and/or chill, chop onion and celery and season to taste with salt, pepper, Mrs. Dash original, paprika. Peel and chop the eggs and add it to the veg mixture. Toss in the cooked macaroni and add mayonaise until it is as wet or dry as your family likes it. Chill before serving for best results.
