SBG, you know what goes well in stew? A can of the diced tomatos with roasted garlic or the one with onions and seasoning. The other staple I use in mine is a dry beef broth. I know you live in Philly so you should be able to get it. It's call G. Washington - it comes in chicken and beef, I use them for EVERYTHING. They are great. (it's normally by the broth/soups.)

You know Kay, Frank told me that the other day....that his mother used to use a can of stewed tomatoes in the stew. My thing is, wouldn't that addition make the stew um, 'tomatoey'?

Never heard of the G. Washington stuff though, I'll have to check it out.

Not really, it cooks down and the beef broth blends really well with it taking the "tomatoey" taste out. Also I use diced tomatoes - not stewed. The stewed are more mushy - the diced are firm.

I wish I could tell you measurements, but I just drain the salmon (and pick out all the nasty bones and stuff which takes a while, but it's worth it to me), and then add a little chopped onion and some Italian bread crumbs, and an egg to hold it all together, and salt and pepper of course. Then, I brown them in a little vegetable oil in a skillet. Very basic and not too interesting of a method, but they're good old-fashioned salmon patties. I like having them with mashed potatoes and peas.

I cook them just like Eliz, no recipe, but instead of bread crumbs we use Ritz Crackers that we grind in a food processor, again, just enough to hold it toghether, and I add some dry mustard powder too... the ritz crackers are a tad on the sweet side... I also make a white sauce to cover it... just a milk gravy... sprinkled with paprika!!

Here's one from allrecipes.com that most closely matches what I do:

Eliz have you ever tried the salmon that comes in the package that has no bones or skin? My brother said he cleaned 2 cans and put it in a dish, then dumped 1 pkg into a dish, and it was almost the same amount so was basically the same price with less time and mess with the pkg salmon. [I have never compared, just took his word for it so I can't personally verify his story.]

I've only made salmon patties a few of times and I use the package becase I hate fish/seafood and refuse to touch it, but my fiance' loves salmon patties.

Funny about the mashed potatoes and peas, my mom refuses to eat salmon patties unless she has those two items with them!

Lostintheglades,

You can take any of those salmon pattie recipes and also add grated parmesan cheese, up to 1/2 a cup, and plenty of black pepper.

Another idea for salmon patties, that also works with tuna, is to add eggs, bread crumbs, salt and pepper, and a grated carrot. These taste really good (had them growing up all the time).

hmmm...Parmesan cheese sounds like a great idea. I do use eggs, onion and stuff but was thinking about maybe throwing in some Pepperidge Farm Bread crumbs this time to get more flavor or maybe some Old Bay seasoning......

Thanks for the ideas...and yeah..you gotta have peas and mashed taters although tonight I'm feeling rebellious and making wild rice instead.

<<<<goes to the kitchen to see what goodies are there....

Is it prepared in a CROCKPOT, Tex-Mex?! BWAHAHAHAHA!!

But seriously....hi, Lizziekins!! How about spanish rice with the enchiladas? What if you sauteed some onion/peppers together and mixed that with spaghetti sauce and crushed red pepper seeds with rice? Damn, that sounds good, I may have to make that soon, lol!!

P.S. Liz, do you make the enchiladas by scratch?

Yes, I made them myself. I just browned some ground beef and onion, added some seasonings, salsa & cheese then rolled them up and put them in a baking pan. I also made a homemade enchilada sauce to put over them (does anyone want the recipe?), and then sprinkled colby/jack over the enchiladas before I put them in the oven just long enough for all the flavors to combine and for the cheese to melt.

Now I DIDN'T go so far as to make the tortillas homemade -- I just bought a pack of those. But the purists would have dragged out the masa harina and made the tortillas homemade. I just don't get that carried away usually!

I DID make Spanish Rice to go with them! :-) Wasn't exactly sure what to do, so I just made some rice, and added some cumin & chili powder, and some salsa and mixed in just a little bit of the colby/jack cheese (maybe a tablespoon and a half or so for the 2 cups of rice). It was really good. And if my toddler hadn't been eating it I think I would've added some cayenne. I also made the corn cake thingy like they have at Chi Chi's. It turned out really good.

And then I took a three-hour nap. It's been a long week. ;-)

Eliz, your sauce sounds wonderful. I make homemade enchiladas a lot and I use canned sauce.

I will definately try your sauce since the canned sauce is often either too mild or too hot, depending on which brand I use. And I love cooking everythig from scratch. Thanks.
