Cheryl’s Recipe Corner

Homemade Pizza Rolls
Ingredients
4 cups shredded pizza cheese blend or part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 pound bulk Italian sausage, cooked and drained
2 packages (3 ounces each) sliced pepperoni, chopped
1 medium green pepper, finely chopped
1 medium sweet red pepper, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 jars (14 ounces each) pizza sauce
32 egg roll wrappers
Oil for frying
Additional pizza sauce for dipping, warmed, optional
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the cheese, sausage, pepperoni, peppers and onion. Stir in pizza sauce until combined. Place about 1/4 cup filling in the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold bottom corner over filling; fold sides toward center over filling. Moisten remaining corner with water and roll up tightly to seal. In an electric skillet, heat 1 in. of oil to 375°. Fry pizza rolls for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with additional pizza sauce if desired. Yield: 32 rolls. Also good with leftover rotisserie chicken, provolone, buffalo sauce with blue cheese dipping sauce. These freeze well! Suggested to assemble then freeze “raw”… not sure how they would freeze pre-cooked.

Things to Do in Amateur Radio This Weekend

North American QSO Party CW runs from Saturday at 1800z to Sunday at 0559z. This is a low power contest, meaning the maximum power you can operate and qualify for a class is 100 watts. The exchange is simple, just your name and state/province. If CW isn’t your game, checkout this one when they do the SSB or RTTY modes.
NI6IW will be the callsign for the USS Midway Museum Ship Special Event: Desert Storm Kickoff on Saturday from 1700z to 2359z.
K2BSA/6 will be active on Saturday during daylight hours at Polar Camp in Idlywild, CA.

Announcements

If you have a contest, special event station, hamfest, or something you’d like us to mention in this section, send us feedback.

Segment 5 (Cheryl’s Recipe Corner)

Stuffed Pork Chops
Ingredients
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary (optional)
1/4 cup finely chopped roasted red peppers (optional)
1/4 cup finely chopped mushrooms, sauteed (optional)
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
4 boneless pork chops
Salt
Pepper
1 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko or Seasoned)
1/2 cup shredded parmesan (optional)
4 tablespoons canola oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, spices (be creative!), mozzarella and bacon, stirring until thoroughly mixed. Set aside. Season all sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Carefully cut a pocket through the side of the pork chop in order to create a cavity. Stuff the cavity with a generous spoonful of the cream cheese mixture and press around the edges of the pork to seal it in. Repeat with the remaining pork chops. Refrigerate the chops, once stuffed, for 1 hour. Dip the stuffed pork chops in the flour, shaking off excess, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining pork chops. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the pork chops for a few minutes on each side. Remove from heat and bake for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is bubbly starting to brown. Serve! Notes: This recipe is very forgiving, and you can add or take away most anything. Adding spinach to the cream cheese mixture is very good, sauteed onions, etc. Use cheddar instead of mozzarella, etc. Want to use some Thyme? Knock yourself out! Experiment and have fun!

Segment 5 (Cheryl’s Recipe Corner)

Lemonada Shake Up
Description
It is fair time in the US… state fairs, county fairs, regional fares, etc. SO, I decided to share a few recipes of food that you’ll find at fairs in the Midwest. This is our last episode of fair food, and this time it isLemonade Shake-Ups and Sausage, Pepper and Onion Sandwiches - Russ doesn’t like either one, so you’ll have to take MY word on the fact that they’re yummy!
Ingredients
2 cups water
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice (6 to 8 lemons)
Directions
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring water and sugar to a boil. Continue cooking 5 minutes, or until sugar is completely dissolved, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Place in refrigerator to chill until ready to serve. When ready to serve, place 1/2 cup lemon syrup in a plastic drink shaker or 1-quart jar. Add equal amounts of cold water and ice as well as a lemon wedge, cover tightly, and shake vigorously 1 to 2 minutes. Pour into tall glasses over additional ice, garnish with lemon slices, and enjoy!
Sausage, Pepper and Onion Sandwiches
Ingredients
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 green bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch strips
2 red bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound hot Italian rope sausage, cut into 2-inch lengths
1/4 cup beer (optional)
4 hoagie rolls, split
Directions
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add peppers, onion, and salt; cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add sausage and beer, if desired, and cook 10 to 15 more minutes, or until sausage is no longer pink in center, stirring occasionally. Evenly divide mixture onto hoagie rolls and serve immediately. If you want these a bit saucier, feel free to top each sandwich with 1/4 cup spaghetti sauce – just don’t forget the napkins!

Segment 5 (Cheryl’s Recipe Corner)

Funnel Cakes
Ingredients
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Oil for frying
Confectioners’ sugar for sprinkling
Directions
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; mix well. In a medium bowl, beat eggs, milk, and vanilla until well blended. Add to flour mixture and beat until smooth. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, heat 1-inch of oil until hot. Holding a finger over bottom of a funnel with a 5/8-inch opening, pour 1/2 cup of batter into funnel. Drizzle batter into hot oil, swirling it in circles from center outward. Fry until golden, turning once. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar. Repeat until all batter is used. Serve warm. Note: Use the batter right away, or it will thicken too much to pass easily through the funnel! If it does get too thick, you can add a little milk to thin it out.
Caramel Corn
Ingredients
10 cups popped plain popcorn
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Directions
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Place popcorn in a large bowl and set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, cream of tartar, and salt to a boil. Continue to cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda. Immediately pour mixture over popcorn and stir until evenly coated, then spoon onto baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes, stir, and continue cooking 30 more minutes. Allow to cool, then break apart and store in an airtight container.
