    Cheeseburger Bake and an awesome cookbook!

    Published: Feb 8, 2017 · Updated: Feb 8, 2017 by Kevin Williams | 4 Comments

    This cookbook contains over 700 recipes!

    By Kevin Williams

    I recently received my copy of "Lanc. County Amish Cookbook", published in 1982 and boasting over seven hundred recipes.   The recipes are largely tried and true and collected from Amish cooks in the area.  There are many recipes that appear more than once because they are different variations. For instance, there are at least meatloaf recipes, all of them amazing, I am sure.

    Looking at the book through an anthropological lens you really can capture the culinary history of Lancaster County through this book.  Amish cooking in Lancaster County and eastern Pennsylvania can sometimes be a bit more "layered" than other Amish areas and by that I mean the recipes are a bit more involved. Or they can be.  But, others, like this Cheeseburger Bake are hearty farmhouse classics that stand the test of time.

    I love the short chapter called "Amish Treats" which has classics like peanut brittle and soft pretzels (the roots of the Auntie Anne's pretzel empire may well be in this chapter, she started selling homemade pretzels from a cart in Lancaster County at about this time).  Other really interesting recipe in the chapter: Velveeta cheese fudge.  Interesting.

    There are still a number of used copies of this book for sale at very reasonable prices on Amazon.  You can get them here.  And, remember, if you buy that book or anything else at all on Amazon using that link (it can be face cream, toilet tissue, and a computer), Amish365 gets a small commission, so if you're going to buy it anyway, why not?

      I don't call $46+ for this cookbook reasonable and since you started posting recipes from it and Amazon prices for it I have been trying to find that 'reasonable' price. JMHO

        Mary, yes, $40 is terrible, look to the left and under the title you'll see copies for far less, $2 a book in some cases
