AUNT MARY'S POT ROAST

Steps:

• Heat the oil in an ovenproof dutch oven (I use cast iron). Brown the roast in the oil on all sides. Sprinkle the dry dressing mix over the meat and pour the beer over all. It will foam up! Place in a preheated oven set at 300 degrees and bake for 3 to 4 hours or until tender. I have baked it at 350 degrees for 2 to 3 hours before and had it turn out fine. If desired, you can add carrots and/or potatoes during the last hour of cooking.

Steps:

• Brown ground beef. Set on paper towel lined plate to drain.
• Brown bacon pieces.
• Sautee the onion and garlic in bacon drippings.
• Mix together the brown sugar, ketchup, molasses, and dry mustard in a big aluminum pan.
• Add the beans, ground beef and bacon pieces.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
• You can adjust the amount of ketchup to your taste. I use between 3/4 and 1 cup.

AUNT MARY'S EGGPLANT BALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Pour in olive oil and saute garlic just until lightly browned. Mix in eggplant and water. Reduce heat to low and cover skillet. Allow eggplant to steam until soft, about 20 minutes. Place eggplant in a large bowl and allow to cool slightly.
• Mix cheese, parsley, eggs, and bread crumbs into eggplant. Stir with a wooden spoon or your hands until ingredients are thoroughly combined and mixture can be rolled into balls. Add more bread crumbs as needed to make mixture workable. Refrigerate mixture for 15 minutes, then roll into balls or form into patties.
• Place eggplant balls on prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
