I remember the Scotcheroos being sold at my elementary school bake sales in the late 1960's, early 70's. It was a small 1st through 8th school, so no hot lunch. Twice a month though, a few moms would make lunch for the school. One lunch would be spaghetti and then two weeks later the leftover spaghetti would be turned into chili, lol. On hot lunch weeks the moms would also host a bake sale at lunch and you could count on at least one batch of Scotcheroos. Yikes! This story makes me sound really old. 😁
1967 is now Vintage, LOL. I was laughing because I was born in 1957 and I guess I am Vintage!! That's okay Vintage is in!!! The recipes all look delicious, I am ready to whip up the Lasagna right now. Thank you!
Thank you for saying "this recipe isn't that old" because I was saying to myself, "wow, I was in the 7th grade in '67, I'm old". 🤣I'll be trying the lasagna and garlic knot recipes for sure! TFS 🙏🥰
The lasagna and garlic knots look so yummy! I never pre-cook my lasagna noodles (and hate those no-cook ones). If you're going to make it ahead anyway, just use the regular ones uncooked. I add about 1/2 c. extra water to my sauce (the noodles will absorb the excess). I prefer Ricotta but will use cottage cheese if I can't find Ricotta or if it is too expensive. I do the separate layers. Leave it in the fridge at least 6 hours, then take it out and let it come to room temperature before baking.
I met a woman at the grocery. She used the no boil lasagna. She places them in water for 30 minutes before she assembles it. I was skeptical like you... it was awesome. But yes.. you are correct, still needs extra sauce
I have a tip for lasagne. I really dont like the no cook lasagne noodles, but also dont want to have to boil. I just lay the noodles in my 10x13 pan and cover for half hour with warm water. Turns out perfect every time.
Yes, I made Scotcheroos for my kids when they were little. They are so good and it brought back so many memories. Thanks for an awesome memory from years past❤
Hey Jennifer I was 6 years old when the dessert recipe was written. Love vintage foods. Lasagna looked fabulous. I made a pan last night but yours looked even better.
😂 "I like jar garlic. If you don't, we don't care." 🤣😂 Hee! I've never bought a fresh clove of garlic. Ain't got no time for that. Jar for me! Also 1967 I was 9 yrs old and yeah, seems like most desserts included Karo Syrup and today seems way too sweet for us.
Scotcheroos are a Midwest staple. You'll find them at every family, church or friends gathering in the Midwest! YUM! The trick it not to mash them too hard into the pan. Just press them lightly!
Oh my… I’m not sure how I found you BUT… I’m so happy I did… I just started watching your videos and my list is ready to go shopping for all the groceries I need..😋😊 Besides being darling you have some great EASY & FAST recipes!! Yummmm Sending love and Sunshine from out west ☀️💚☀️
I loved all of these recipes, on the garlic knots you can also go with a cinnamon and sugar mix instead of the garlic and Italian seasoning and have cinnamon knots very yummy for a pizza night dessert. On the Scotcharoos, I have made it with Cornflakes cereal using 7 cups instead and leaving the chocolate and butterscotch off. Very good and not as sweet. Thanks for sharing and bringing back good memories. ❤
😂 I was married in October of 1965! Yes, that was a long time ago, but the years have passed very quickly! I am still happily married to my wonderful husband ❤️ Thanks for a recipe from the past. 🥰
Scotcharoos are staple dessert that shows up at many Midwest potlucks and get-togethers! But, you are right that they are very sweet! Just cut the pieces small, lol.
I LOVE ricotta cheese but where I live it is about twice the price of cottage cheese so 90% of the time I use cottage cheese. I have made lasagna with the separate layers and also with mixed layers. Both ways are yummy.
That is so cool about the movie ticket! Yes, 56 yrs old, haha! Omgosh I haven't made this Scotharoos in years! They are addictive! The lasagna looked the bomb! I was eating the French dip I made today, and the second time you said doohickey, I almost spit it out!!!🤣🤣🤣 Lolol! You funny, girl! Blessings.💖🌸
We were married September 2, 1967. I smiled over the ticket date. And enjoyed watching you make the lasagna sauce pretty much as I have for years. Just seemed sweet. Nicely done!
Omg! Someone actually knows that when you cook with any type of tomatoes you have to add a little sugar because of the acid in the tomatoes! Hardly any cooking videos I watch do this! It’s like an unwritten law! maybe just us “ old timers” know this!
This was a very popular recipe many years ago!! I made them quite often and they are very addictive, once u eat one, u just can't sto yourself! lol. We always called them scotcheroos.
I've always mixed the 2 cups cottage cheese with 1/2 cup grated parmesan, 1 Tblsp parsley, 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp oregano, gives it more flavor. It all looks yummy!
Garlic knots looked yummy and easy. Going to bet someone says to you it isn't technically a "knot" though lol. I think calling them garlic nuggets would be cute... :)
I have had scotcheroos. A lady when I was working always made them for potlucks. I think I have a love/hate relationship with them. Don’t really care for them but anytime I see them I have to have one…😜. Never asked for the recipe but maybe I should have…I could leave the butterscotch chip out or use.less. I like the butterscotch discs but the chips I’m not fond of. The lasagna looked so good and yes homemade sauce is so easy and tastes so much butter. Tao’s is crazy expensive now. Simple little tasty garlic knots to great idea!
Back in the day when it was a package of chocolate chips they had a 6 ounce package. I wonder if that’s what the recipe was requesting was one package a.k.a. 6 ounces. Not being able to read the recipe that’s what I would say unless it specifically said 12 ounces of milk chocolate chips. Typically it is one cup of butter scotch one cup of semi sweet
Dessert is also called Special K bars, when made with that type of cereal. In the Midwest these are at every sports game, bake sale, funeral... Common treat still!!
I prefer the garlic in the jar. I got tired of keeping the fresh and it would go bad and then I wouldn’t have any for my recipe. I remember the Scotcharoos.
I did the Scotcheroos in Home Ec in the mid nineties. Don’t remember how it was called here… and it had butter in it. I remember my class partner put all the butter provided ( we figured out later that it was not measured yet) and it was greasy! 🤣
It all looks so delicious. Excited to try the lasagna and garlic knots. I was wondering, what type of cookware do you use?im needing to get a new set. Thanks for all you share on your channels.
My Mom always made pasta sauce with tomato soup and tomato sauce. I do it now for a fraction of the cost of store bought pasta sauces, and so much better tasting . 😋
@@CookCleanAndRepeat We aren't fond of how bitter tomato paste typically is so we use a 15 ounce can of tomato sauce, and a 10 1/2 ounce can of tomato soup and about 1/4 can soup can of water. We always saute onions and bell pepper with ground beef and then add the sauce and our favorite spices. So yummy every time.
Oh WOW 🤣😳 I was 1 yr old when that cook book was made, 😱 OMG I'm feeling old just now 😆 Great DELISH Recipes Jennifer, I love cook books especially Church Cook books, some Awesome cook's share their favorite Recipes that are Dear to them and Sentimental to them, I thank them and you for sharing and for the Inspiration ❤️💜
Is it 1 cup chocolate chips or 1 bag just asking because I want to try them. Everything looked great. I was 3 years old in 67 but I don’t remember ever hearing or them
My mom made something similar to your dessert. ▢ 1 cup granulated sugar ▢ 1 cup light corn syrup ▢ 1 cup creamy peanut butter ▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ▢ 6 cups corn flakes instructions In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and peanut butter. Cook over medium high heat until center starts to boil, make sure to stir constantly so the sugar doesn't burn. As soon as the sugar mixture comes to a boil, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and corn flakes, mix until corn flakes are evenly coated in sugar mixture. Use an ice cream scoop to drop cookies onto parchment or wax paper as quickly as possible before mixture starts to cool and and harden. Let cool on wax paper for 20 to 30 minutes before enjoying.
Jennifer I will definitely be making these recipes for my family !! I love the sauce mixture for the Lasagna. I personally don't like a chunky sauce either. I don't like tomatoes 🍅....lol Thank you for another set of recipes and my loves the Garlic knots !!
Hi from Pretoria, South Africa 🙋🏻♀️ and a BIG THANK YOU for these recipes. Seeing it's church recipes, do you maybe have the recipe for large number of people please? We have what you call a potluck with every communion and I run out of recipes. We're always around 100-150 eating. Have a blessed day 🙏
Not going to lie to you, I’ve never cooked for that many. But this recipe feeds 8. So my advice would be to triple the recipe. And make 6 of the big pans for that many people!
@@CookCleanAndRepeat thank you very much. I'll try it and then with your dessert recipes as well. I battle with those. Always looking for something new and interesting. People on this side of the world are hungry people and they love dessert 😄
Awesome Jen! I’m going to try the krispies but without the butterscotch chips…. And made regular; not with Karo and sugar 😳 I think I remember them from the 70’s and 80’s 😄🥰😍
I love these church cookbook recipes and these three are definitely ones I will be making. I'm with you, I need to find something to substitute for Raos. I hope this is it, it certainly sounds good.
Love the recipe!! I make a Texas Lasagna you might like similar to this! Of course I am from Texas!! But I use McCormick thick & zesty Spaghetti sauce packet x2 for 2lbs of meat. Mix as directions on back minus the butter, just the mix, tomato paste and water. After you brown the meat add your sauce that's already been mixed in a sauce pan separately. Boil your Lasagna noodles. My bunch doesn't like cottage cheese or Ricotta cheese so instead I use a Shredded blend cheese on the layers. Then back about 25 minutes until cheese is melted. This is one of our favorites!!
