From our friends at Northside Baptist Church, we have Broccoli Casserole from Louise Ustler. It looks pretty simple and quick.
Dell’s Corn Casserole comes to us from Carolyn Cartmill in Northside Baptist Church’s cookbook. Using canned Niblets Corn, it should be easy. You need to cook rice first to make the dish.
From simplyrecipes.com, we have Boston Baked Beans, cooked in a slow cooker. They give optional directions for using a Dutch oven and baking the beans in a slow oven. Make sure you keep an eye on the water level. Nothing worse than dried out baked beans. You will notice, a recipe for Brown Bread follows this recipe! Brown bread is MADE for baked beans.
From The New York Times NEW Natural Foods Cookbook, by Jean Hewitt, we have Baked Brown Bread. This makes a moist loaf similar to steamed brown bread and is good with baked beans.
Jane Gnann shares her recipe for canned tuna baked in a dish that she named Mock Deviled Crab. It comes to us through our friends from Plains, Georgia, in Plains Pot Pourri.
From Cooking with Foliage La Sertoma of Apopka, we have Eltha Mark’s Dixies.
Rosemarie Miceli’s Artichoke Dip for Crackers, found in New Vision Community Church’s Feeding the Flock, looks pretty good. It calls for canned artichoke hearts.

Recipe from Northside Baptist Church’s cookbook
2 12-ounce cans Niblets Corn, drained
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 stick margarine
2 cups cooked rice
1 can mushroom soup
1 small jar pimiento, chopped
2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce

BOSTON BAKED BEANS,
SLOW COOKED
Recipe from simplyrecipes.com
1 pound (2 to 2-1/4 cups) dry white beans such as navy beans or great northern beans (can also use kidney beans)
1/3 cup molasses
1/3 cup brown sugar
3-4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
3 cups hot water
1/2 pound salt pork (can substitute bacon) cut into 1/2-inch to 1-inch pieces
1 medium onion (1-1/2 cups) chopped
Place beans in a large pot and cover with 2 inches of water. Soak overnight and drain. Alternatively, bring a pot with the beans covered with 2 inches of water to a boil, remove from heat and let soak for an hour, then drain.
Mix the molasses, brown sugar, mustard, and ground cloves with 3 cups of hot water.
Line the bottom of a slow-cooker (or a Dutch oven if you are cooking in the oven) with half of the salt pork (pick the fattiest pieces). Layer over with half of the drained beans. Add all of the chopped onion in a layer.
Top with another layer of beans and the remaining salt pork. Pour the molasses water mixture over the beans to just cover the beans.
Cover and cook in a slow-cooker on the low setting for 8 hours (or in a 250-degree Fahrenheit oven) until the beans are tender. Check the water level a few hours in, and if the beans need more water, add some. Add additional salt to taste if needed.
Note that fresher beans will cook faster than older beans. Your beans may be ready in less than 8 hours, or they may take longer. Best the next day.
Serve with Boston brown bread.
