George Washington's Kitchen

I found this on the Mt. Vernon website and thought you might enjoy it!

Because the Washingtons had so many dinner guests, the kitchen bustled with activity day and night. Baking, roasting, broiling, frying and stewing were all accomplished here, both in the fireplace and over piles of hot coals burning at several locations on the hearth.
At least three generous meals were served daily at Mount Vernon. Breakfast was served promptly at 7:00 am; dinner at 3:00 pm; and tea at 6:00 pm.Sometimes a light supper was served at 9:00 pm. As you can imagine, this schedule meant a long and exhausting day for the team of enslaved workers, such as Nathan and Lucy, who did the cooking. Lucy lived in an apartment above the kitchen with her husband Frank, the butler. Assistants or scullions, who lived elsewhere on the grounds, hauled water and wood, washed dishes and cooking utensils, and helped with food preparation.

Yummy Casserole!

Bierock Casserole

2 lbs ground meat (I like ground round)
2 onions, finely chopped (I use one large onion)
4 cups shredded cabbage (I used a small head of cabbage, shredded then chopped, might be more than 4 cups)
Salt and Pepper to taste or I use Nature's Seasons by Morton
2 tubes crescent rolls (I've found sheet crescent rolls!)
1 lb mild cheddar cheese, shredded

Brown ground meat and onions, drain. Put cabbage on top of meat and steam for a few minutes. I probably do more than steam. . . I mix it in and like it cooked through. Add salt and pepper (nature's seasons). Using 1 tube, spread crescent roll over the bottom of 9x13 pan (which I grease lightly). Spread the meat - cabbage mixture over it, then the cheese. Fit a second tube of crescent rolls over the top of the cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 mins, covering with foil the last 10 mins to soften crust.
