1/2 cup ketchup

1 Tablespoon Worchestershire sauce

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup brown sugar

4 cups string beans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown the bacon until crisp, add onion and cook until onion is clear. Drain. In the same skillet add ketchup, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer together for about two minutes.  

In a separate casserole dish place the beans (if using canned, drain before adding -- if using fresh blanch briefly in boiling water to soften). Pour sauce over -- do not mix. Bake for 20 minutes, uncovered. Serves 6. A great addition for a summer barbecue.

1 teaspoon each baking soda and baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup each granulated sugar and brown sugar (packed)

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups each quick cooking oats, and corn flakes

1 cup coconut

Combine flour, soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Beat butter until fluffy. Add sugars to butter. Beat in eggs and vanilla into sugar mixture. Add flour mix to batter and combine. Stir in oats and corn flakes. Form into balls and roll in coconut. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. A very old recipe.
