Chicken Casserole

This came from the Nancy Welch Cookbook,She hosted cooking show on WSPA TV Spartanburg SC that my Aunts and Grandmother always watched,She is still living in the Greer SC area today, I sent her a Email a while back and told her how much he show inspired me to want to cook as a child, and received a very nice reply.
Chicken Casserole
1 stick margarine or butter
1 small package Pepperidge Farm corn bread stuffing...I Use Half Herb Seasoned.
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
1 can Cream of Chicken soup
2 cups chicken broth
4 large chicken breasts or 1 whole chicken, boiled.
In a 9x13 pyrex dish , melt the butter, sprinkle half the stuffing mix on the bottom,add Cream of mushroom soup mixed with 1 cup broth,spread over this the chopped chicken, top with chicken soup mixed with 1 cup broth, top this with the rest of the stuffing,bake at 350 for 45 minutes..I usually use the cornbread stuffing for the bottom layer and Herb seasoned for the top.

Biscuits

This is something every cook in the South does a little bit differently, The secret of good biscuits is NOT HOW you mix them, but is WHAT YOU MAKE THEM WITH, No amount of careful mixing will make up for good ingredients, I drive 2 hours to get good flour!!! I Use either Adluh from Columbia SC or Virginias Best from Big Spring Mill in Elliston Va, If you try to make biscuits with something like Gold Medal, they just wont be the same, the same goes for making them with unbleached flour...you will then have gray biscuits which are NOT pretty!...A Self Rising soft winter wheat flour that is bleached is what you want, Crisco and WHOLE buttermilk..If you use plain flour, and add soda, salt and baking powder, they wont be as pretty either because the baking powder will make ugly brown flecks on top of the biscuits...here is how I make them.
2 cups sifted self rising flour
1/3 to 1/2 cup Crisco
2/3 to 1 cup whole buttermilk
With a pastry blender cut the Crisco into the flour until crumbly, it will have particles about like bread crumbs, add the milk starting with 2/3 cup all at once, stir with a spoon until well mixed, add the rest of the milk if the mixture is dry ,turn out on a floured surface and with floured hands, knead about 15 or 20 times, pat or roll to desires thickness, 1/4 inch will make thin biscuits if you like them thicker, don't roll them so thin, cut and place on a greased baking sheet, bake in a preheated 450 degree oven until brown, all ovens bake differently so watch closely.

Thanks again guys

I printed these off, for future attempts to make them all. I doubt they will be as good but I will try. Great to learn about the ingredients being so critical.

Thanks again for your incredible dedication and hard work over the whole event, I am still on a high myself. So much great food, you all were an inspiration to the rest of us.

Chocolate Chess is definitely on my list of things to make.

The pineapple casserole was outstanding and I normally HATE, HATE, HATE that sort of thing.... I've been converted

I'm pretty sure I ate more green beans as a kid than most people eat in their whole lives... but for some reason I couldn't resist the ones labelled "Southern Style". Yup, they were good. I assume it was the pork?

Thanks again to all.

crusty coconut...

I like coconut but not sure what a can of coconut is.  I buy shredded coconut in a bag, and coconut milk in a can - which is used in the recipe?

 

From what I read, I think I need to make it soon, sounds great.

Bakers used to sell flaked coconut in a blue can, it was about the size of a can of Clabber Girl Baking Powder. It was very moist. I haven't seen a can of this for many years, but maybe in other areas of the country it is still available.
