Economical Salad

This recipe has proved a good way to use up soup meat or leftover roast beef.

1 pound cooked soup meat or leftover roast beef

1 green sweet pepper

1 red sweet pepper

1 medium sized stalk celery

2 sweet pickles

Put the meat through the food chopper, cut the celery, peppers and pickles into small pieces, adding them to the meat. Season to taste. Combine with either mayonnaise, French dressing or the following salad dressing:

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon mustard,

2 teaspoons sugar

2 tablespoons butter or oil

2 1/2 teaspoons flour

2 egg yolks or 1 egg

3/4 cup scalded milk

1/2 cup hot vinegar 

Rice and Meat

 One cup raw rice

Two cups cooked, chopped meat

Two teaspoons seasoning sauce

Half teaspoon onion juice

One teaspoon lemon juice

One-quarter cup cracker crumbs

One egg, slightly beaten

Salt, to taste

Water or stock to moisten

Use any cold meat; chicken is especially delicious. Line a greased mold with cooked rice. Fill the center with the finely chopped meat, well seasoned with sauce and the above ingredients. Cover the meat with rice and the rice with buttered paper to keep out moisture. Steam for 45 minutes. Turn out on a hot platter; garnish with parsley and serve with tomato sauce, highly seasoned.
