Hi everyone,
It seems that the chatroom here on Dayton History Books Online has a number of recipes from old Dayton haunts. I would like to collect them here as well, for easy reference. Here are a few to start you off:Martha Hardcastle passed this on to readers of this site.
Goody Goody Hamburger sauce
1 stick butter
3 15 oz. cans whole peeled tomatoes(cut up the tomatoes)
1 tblsp. celery seed
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 tblsp. pepper
1 tblsp salt
2 small onions, chopped fine
Optional: add a little sugar and cut the salt in half.
Add all of the ingredients together in a sauce pan and cook on low heat for about 3-4 hours. If you double the recipe, cook for 5-6 hours.
Fry hamburgers (thin) and toast or broil buns with butter on them.
Top hamburgers with sauce, sliced hamburger, dills and mayo(optional).
Martha Hardcastle also shared this from an old Dale Huffman column.This is the recipe offered most often to Dale for Goody Goody hamburger sauce:
1 No. 15 can tomatoes, crushed.
1 medium-sized onion, diced.
1 tsp. celery seed.
1/2 tsp. salt.
Cook slowly and stir often.
Lisa H. states that Goody's Hamburger Sauce takes 1 large can of tomatoes, 1 medium onion finely chopped, 1 teaspoon of celery seed, and 1/2 teaspoon of hot sauce. Combine all ingredients and simmer until you get a sauce or paste.
Lisa H. also shared the recipe for Goody's Onion Soup:
1 Bermuda Onion, chopped finely
3 Tablespoons of Butter, divided
2 1/2 Tablespoons cornstarch
1 Cup whole milk
1 13 3/4 oz can chicken broth
Croutons and Grated Parmesan Cheese
Saute onion in 1 1/2 Tablespoons of Butter until transparent. Set aside. In another pan make a white sauce by melting remaining butter. Stir in cornstarch with a wire whisk and add milk. Continue stirring and cooking until sauce thickens. Add chicken broth and onions. Serve plain or with homemade croutons and parmesan cheese
