  • Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
  • Description
    Russ is a huge fan of Chicken Cordon Bleu. While I am not a fan, I decided to try this casserole out for dinner tonight, pre-show, with numerous modifications.
  • Ingredients
    • 1 (10-3/4-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
    • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
    • 3/4 cup milk
    • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    • 2 pounds boneless, skinless cooked chicken breast, shredded
    • 1/2 pound thin sliced deli ham, coarsely chopped
    • 6 slices Swiss cheese
    • 1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
    • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
    • paprika for sprinkling
    • (Optional: egg noodles mixed in with the chicken/sauce mixture, doubling the sauce - and added extra Dijon Mustard for additional flavor. Also did extra butter/breadcrumbs)
  • Directions
    • Preheat oven to 350F. Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bowl combine soup, mayonnaise, milk, mustard and black pepper. Remove half of the sauce to another bowl and set aside. Stir the chicken into the large bowl of soup mixture, then spoon into prepared dish. Sprinkle the ham evenly over the chicken mixture, then place the slices of Swiss cheese on top of ham. Pour the remaining sauce over the cheese. In a small bowl mix the bread crumbs and butter, sprinkle over the sauce. Evenly sprinkle paprika on top then bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown and heated in center.
    • Freezer Instructions: Follow recipe above. Allow casserole to cool. Cover with several layers of foil (to prevent freezer burn) and freeze. When ready to eat, place in fridge to thaw for 24 hours in advance. Reheat, serve, and enjoy! You can also assemble, freeze, thaw and then bake!

  • E-mail from Torsten, DL1THM
    • Thanks for bringing up the "Pat" winlink client. I was looking for a open-source client running natively on Linux for quite a while, so I was happy to get aware of that. Maybe one should mention that while the "Pat" client itself is free and open-source and runs nicely cross-platform, it does NOT include a WINMOR driver/TNC. I can work WITH the official Windows-only WINMOR driver and this seems to run under wine. However, it is unfortunately still not possible to run WINMOR on a single-board computer like the Raspberry Pi. Keep up the good work, I really LOVE your show!! 73s, Torsten DL1THM. P.S.: maybe worth mentioning in some future episode as an real open-source alternative to Winlink: the PSKMAIL project.

  • Key Lime Pie
  • Description
    • For me, summer cooking involves easy recipes that are quick to fix and require little to no time with the stove or oven on.  This is one of those recipes. It definitely takes care of my craving for easy-to-make desserts, and key lime pie is one of my favorites.
  • Ingredients
    • 1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust
    • 3 cups sweetened condensed milk
    • 1/2 cup sour cream
    • 3/4 cup key lime juice
    • 1 tablespoon grated lime zest
  • Directions
    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium bowl, combine condensed milk, sour cream, lime juice, and lime rind. Mix well and pour into graham cracker crust. Bake in preheated oven for 5 to 8 minutes, until tiny pinhole bubbles burst on the surface of pie. DO NOT BROWN! Chill pie thoroughly before serving. Garnish with lime slices and whipped cream if desired.
