 Barbecued Peanuts


Barbecued Peanuts

I have made these for well over 20 years. I make them a lot at Christmas. They make great gifts or a tasty snack. They're perfect for munching on while watching a movie or ballgame. Men tend to love these!
For gift giving, there is no need to buy an additional container. Simply remove the label from the jar and make a cute label using your computer. If you like, you can cover the lid with a cute round of scrap fabric and a piece of coordinating ribbon.
Bonus: You won't be able to pack a handful or so of the peanuts back into the jar. You'll just have to eat these! :)

1/3 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Dash or two of cayenne pepper (optional)
1 jar (16 ounces) dry roasted peanuts

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. If your oven tends to be a bit hot, set it at 300 degrees.
Combine the barbecue sauce, butter and cayenne in a large bowl.
Add peanuts and stir to coat evenly.
Spread onto prepared baking sheet.
Bake, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so.
Spread on waxed paper and cool completely.
Break apart any peanuts that are stuck together and scoop nuts back into jar or another airtight container.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...

I have formatted the recipe to conform to my usual way of posting (Y'all have been able to tell I have a format, right?;) I do like Mrs. Carter's version better, though! I am sure her icing looked much neater than mine! The kids were rushing me. Lost was coming on! Thanks again for sharing this, Wayne!
