MEMERE BIBEAULT'S MEAT STUFFING

Steps:

• Take the celery and onion and chop it fine. Put it into the pan.
• Take the giblets and liver, chop them fine and put them into the pan.
• Take 4 small sausage links and remove the casings and put them into the pan.
• Put the beef and the pork into the pot and stir everything.
• Shake in allspice, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper, and basil.
• Cook on low for 4 hours occasionally stirring the pot so that nothing sticks or burns.
• Whatever you do, DO NOT DRAIN THE JUICES/FATS whatever you want to call them!
• Put the bread crumbs inches You want to make sure that you didn't put too much. You need only enough to bind the meats together so that it all sticks.
• Cook for ten minutes. Taste the stuffing to adjust the seasonings.
• Keep on low until the stuffing almost sticks on the bottom. Stuffing is done.
• Cool completely. Stuff the Turkey!
• ENJOY!

MOIST AND TASTY PORK STUFFING

Steps:

• Place meat, onion, celery and seasoning in a pot. Cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for one hour stirring occasionally to break up meat chunks.
• Remove from heat. If there is an excess amount of liquid pour in a cup and reserve. Stir in the stuffing mixture. This mixture should be a little dryer than you like it since it will absorb some of the turkey juices. If too dry, add some of the reserved liquid.
• The stuffing can be prepared the night before and refrigerated overnight. This makes enough to stuff a 20 lb bird. Remember not to stuff your turkey until it is ready to cook. You can cook the stuffing that didn't fit in your bird in a crock pot (or in the oven if you have room).

MEMERE'S CRETON (FRENCH CANADIAN PORK PATéE)

Steps:

• Combine the pork, onions, and garlic in a saucepan and cook over medium-low heat. Simmer, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, for about one hour.
• Add the cinnamon, cloves, salt and pepper and continue simmering for about 20-30 minutes more.
• Add bread crumbs and simmer for about 15 more minutes. (For a spicier mixture, more cinnamon or cloves may be added.).
• Place a colander in the sink, and pour the creton mixture into it to drain off excess liquid.
• Place the cooked creton in several small containers (such as empty margarine tubs or small bowls), packing the mixture down tightly.
• Refrigerate. Serve cold as a spread for French bread or crackers.
