Readers offer tasty barbecue recipes
Lockland School’s barbecue from the ‘50s Ann Seebohm, a Montgomery reader, sent this for Marilyn Morris, who was looking for St. Bernard School’s barbecue from the 1950s. Ann said: “The recipe I have is not from St. Bernard School
but from Lockland School. However it is from the 1950s and is also called barbecue, but is more like sloppy joe. Hope this is what Marilyn Morris is looking for.”
1 cup onion, chopped
Brown 2 pounds ground beef with 4 medium onions and 2 bell peppers, chopped
1 cup sugar 1 cup cider vinegar ½ cup water 2 teaspoons mustard seed (optional but good) or ½ teaspoon celery seed (also optional)
Dressing: Bring to a boil, then simmer, uncovered, 10-15 minutes or so, until slightly thickened:
Add the following and simmer: 2 tablespoons each: Worcestershire, barbecue sauce, vinegar and sugar
Add 1 bottle of ketchup. Though Ann doesn’t say how much, I would start out with a very generous cup and go from there, tasting and adding more as needed.
Grandma Weaver’s and Lisa Mauch’s mom’s barbecue Lisa Mauch, my former editor, came to the rescue, too. Actually, her mom did. “My mom says the recipe she’s sharing isn’t precise since she just adds stuff until it looks and tastes right. She says the secret is to keep smushing the mixture. She also says she
Rita suggests roasting tomatoes to preserve them for winter cooking. THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD. sometimes adds a dash of cinnamon and/or chocolate.” Sounds like a confident cook to me! We get a bonus here, too: Two generations sharing. Grandma Weaver’s recipe 1 pound hamburger 1 ⁄3 cup ketchup 1 onion (chopped) 1 green pepper (diced) 1 tablespoon vinegar 1 tablespoon mustard 1 tablespoon sugar ½ teaspoon salt
Lisa’s mom’s recipe 3 pounds ground sirloin (browned) 1 chopped onion and green
pepper 2 tablespoons vinegar 2-3 tablespoons mustard 1 cup sugar ½-¾ bottle of ketchup (24 oz.)
Rita’s do-ahead, marinated slaw
This is delicious with the barbecue and a bit different than the norm. Salad:
Combine and set aside while making dressing: 6-8 cups shredded cabbage or cole slaw mix 2 carrots, sliced thin or shredded 1 bell pepper, chopped
Pour dressing over cabbage mixture. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Stir before serving.
Roasted tomatoes
They’re in season now so it’s time to preserve them for winter dishes. When a recipe calls for canned tomatoes, you can use these. The color and flavor is amazing. No real recipe, but here’s how I do it: Cut tomatoes in half. Lay either cut side up or down (I laid mine cut side down but next time will lay them cut side up since I think that will keep more of the tomato flavor in). Drizzle with olive oil. Roast in preheated 400

When we were kids and attending St. Margaret of Cortona’s school in Madison Rita Place, one Heikenfeld of my faRITA’S KITCHEN vorite hot lunches was the barbecue. You could smell it the minute you stood on the steps going down to the cafeteria. It was stringy and coated with just enough sauce to make it a bit drippy so when you took a bite, some would fall onto your plate – a bonus to savor with that last forkful of slaw. Apparently school lunches bring back a flood of memories for many of you.
