Last week Bob wrote a post about how cookbook author Peg Bracken had died. I followed up his post with one of my own that included her recipe for Fake Hollendaise. It was only after that post went up that I noticed that a commenter had specifically asked if anyone had Bracken's recipe for Hellzapoppin Cheese Rice. Mary, this one is for you.
Hellzapoppin Cheese Rice
4 cups cooked rice
4 eggs
2 tablespoons minced onion
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons salt
1 pound grated sharp Cheddar
small pinch each of thyme and marjoram
1 package chopped frozen spinach
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons melted butterThis is copied verbatim from Bracken's book. She is referring to the woman, Sugar Belle, who gave her the recipe.
She beats the eggs till they're light. Then she adds the milk and all the seasonings. Finally, she folds in the cheese, spinach and rice and pours the whole works into a greased casserole. After she pours the melted butter over it, she sets it in a 375 degree oven to bake for thirty-five minutes and she takes off her apron.
