Sunday August 15th

This Sunday I made Beer Brats with Caramelized Onions, a Sweet Corn Bake, Bacon, Lettuce, and Cherry Tomato Salad With Aioli Dressing and Chocolate Chip cookies! Apparently it was good!! : )

Beer Brats with Caramelized Onions

Caramelized Onions

1 sweet onion, sliced thin
1/4 cup of butter

Melt butter on medium heat, then add onions. Stir onions and butter until nice and soft and brown. This takes a long time....if you turn the heat up, just make sure they do not burn...butter burns easily! : )

In large sauce pan bring 1 or 2 bottles of cheap beer to a boil. Add as many bratwurst as you are making (that fit in the pan.) Boil them in the beer until they are cooked all the way through.

Cut brats into four pieces each and mix well with the caramelized onion!



Corn Bake

1 (15 ounce) can creamed corn
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 (8.5 ounce) package corn muffin mix

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Mix together corn, sour cream, eggs, melted butter and sugar. Mix in muffin mix. Pour into prepared baking dish. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted midway into pan comes out clean.



Bacon, Lettuce, And Cherry Tomato Salad With Aioli Dressing

12 cups torn romaine lettuce (from 1 large head; about 13 ounces)
8 ounces cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, and/or pear tomatoes, halved
