BONNIE'S HAMBONE DINNER

Steps:

• 1. PREPARE HAMBONE: Use a leftover spiral hambone with meat. Trim any excess fat and discard it. Place the hambone in a extra large pot and cover with about a gallon of water.
• 2. ADDING THE INGREDIENTS:
• 3. Add the onions, garlic, chicken granules, McCormick seasoning, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and slow simmer for about an hour.
• 4. Add the carrots, simmer for 1/2 hour, then add the potatoes. When the potatoes are just tender, add the green beans and simmer until tender. Avoid adding more seasoning until end of cooking time because flavors blend as it simmers.

BONNIE'S HAMBONE BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Cook's Note: Technically all the ingredients are already cooked, really what you're doing is cooking the beans until tender and allowing the ham bone and bacon time to infuse the water for a rich and meaty taste.
• 2. PREPARE THE BEANS Wash and clean the beans, soak overnight according to package directions. The next day, drain the water, rinse the beans, and put them in a large pot with 6 cups of really hot water or enough to cover the beans. Simmer gently, covered with lid at a tilt, until very tender. It takes about 4 hours for beans to get done here. The package says 2 hours. So it depends on your altitude. Do not add salt to the water. Watch the beans carefully so they don't stick when they start to thicken, adding just enough water to cook them.
• 3. COOK THE BACON: Fry the bacon and remove to a paper towel to drain. Saute the celery and onions in the bacon grease until tender.
• 4. PREPARING THE SOUP: While the beans are cooking. Take the soup broth and pour it into a colander over a large soup pot. Remove the vegetables, chop them and set aside. Remove the ham from the bones and chop it, and add it to the pot of soup to simmer over low heat. Discard the bones. Add the marjoram and 1 tablespoon of chicken granules. Add the sauteed celery and onions and a tablespoon of bacon grease. Simmer a few minutes, then add the peas and cook until tender. Turn the pot to low heat to just simmer.
• 5. When the beans are tender and starting to thicken, it is time to add them to the soup. The beans are very hot, so carefully pour or ladle them into the soup pot. Heat until just hot. Garnish each serving bowl with a tablespoon of diced bacon when serving. Great with cornbread! Enjoy!

BONNIE'S HUBBY BILL'S HAMBURGER STEAK

Steps:

• 1. My Complete Seasoning is a mix I use to cook with. It contains: 3 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon white pepper, 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon oregano. Mix together and keep in a shaker bottle by the stove. Good on just about everything. Close to Nature's Seasoning in flavor, but a little stronger. Add 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper to it for Latin dishes.
• 2. PREPARE HAMBURGER STEAKS: Mix the hamburger in a small bowl, add the chopped green onion, garlic powder, My Complete Seasoning and mix well. Refrigerate the meat mixture for about an hour.
• 3. Shape the meat into 3 to 4 patties. Place the patties in a non-stick medium size skillet and brown on both sides. Mop up any grease that has accumulated with a paper towel on the sides of the pan, but leave the brown pieces and about 1 tablespoon of grease which contain a lot of flavor for the gravy.
• 4. (Here is how they look browned)
• 5. Mix the one can of mushroom soup with the one package of gravy mix in a small bowl, and add about 3/4 cup to 1 cup of water a little at a time, whisking until smooth, add the mushrooms. The gravy should be on the thick side, Add the the mixture to the skillet. Gently move the hamburger steaks around to pick up the flavoring. The gravy will be a nice tan color. Then put the lid on and simmer about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spoon the gravy up onto the hamburger steaks while it simmers. Serve with mashed potatoes or hot buttered noodles and peas. Enjoy!
• 6. All done. Enjoy!
