This 512 page cookbook is loaded with 735 delicious recipes from the 5 regions (northeast, south, midwest, southwest and west).  Like the Taste of Home magazine, each recipe mentions the home cook who submitted the recipe and where they’re from.  Nearly every recipe is paired with a beautiful, colored photo.

 
Here are just some of the highlights from each region.

South: Shrimp Po-Boys, South Carolina-Style Ribs, Bacon Collard Green, Cheese ‘n’ Grits Casserole, Georgia Peanut Salsa, Sweet Potato Fries, Banana Pudding and Hummingbird Cake

Midwest: Church Supper Hot Dish, Onion Loose Meat Sandwiches, Cherry Wild Rice Salad, German Potato Salad, Chocolate-Covered Buckeyes, Golden Apple Snack Cake and State Fair Cream Puffs

Southwest: Arizona Chicken, Barbecued Beef Brisket, Chicken-Fried Steaks, Sizzling Tex-Mex Fajitas, Armadillo Eggs, Texas Caviar, Dr Pepper Barbecue Sauce, Classic Fruit Kolaches, German Chocolate Cake and Tres Leches Cake

West: Buffalo Steak Salad, Chicken Long Rice, Pacific Rim Salmon, California Sushi Rolls, Green Goddess Salad Dressing, Romaine Caesar Salad, Utah Buttermilk Scones, Caramel-Frosted Potato Cake, Oregon’s Best Marionberry Pie and Lemon Tart with Almond Crust

Can you believe this meat loaf?  Yes, it tastes as good as it looks!  It is amazing!  My family and I LOVED it!

I’m so happy to have permission to share the recipe with all of you!

 

Prosciutto-Stuffed Meat Loaf

From:  Taste of Home Recipes Across America

Ingredients

  • 1 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 pound whole fresh mushrooms, coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 3/4 cups soft sourdough bread crumbs
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 3/4 pound bulk Italian sausage

Filling

  • 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 5 ounces thinly sliced Havarti cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups loosely packed basil leaves, cut into thin strips
  • 1/3 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and cut into strips

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, saute the onion in oil and butter for 2 minutes.  Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.  Add mushrooms; cook 6-8 minutes longer or until mushrooms are tender and no liquid remains.  Stir in salt and pepper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme and mushroom mixture.  Crumble beef and sausage over mixture; mix well.
  3. On a large piece of heavy-duty foil, pat the beef mixture into a 15 x 10 x 1-in. rectangle.  Layer the prosciutto, Havarti, basil and tomatoes to within 1 in. of edges.  Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side and peeling foil away while rolling.  Seal seams and ends.
  4. Place loaf seam side down in a greased 13 x 9-in. baking dish.  Bake, uncovered, at 350°F for 75-85 minutes or until no pink remains and a thermometer reads 160°F.  Let stand for 5 minutes.  Using two large spatulas, carefully transfer meat loaf to a serving platter.


 

I also made the Hermits on page 88 from the northeast section!  I didn’t mean to choose another recipe from my part of the country.  I just wanted to make them because I knew Dave would love them.

These Hermits were a big hit!  The flavor was spot on!

 

I highly recommend this cookbook!   It is like a library of recipes!

    I’ve collected a lot of recipes online over the years but never really own a cookbook devoted just to American food, this is so neat!

    My son and daughter in law entertain for dinner most weekends and they are excellent chefs. The nicest part is that they make wonderful meals for me. I would love to win this cookbook to add to their variety but primarily as an extra thank you for their generosity. Thank you for your consideration.

    Taste of Home has wonderful cookbooks with recipes common people would eat. The idea of recipes from other parts of the United States would also offer the chance to try the different flavors.

    I am always looking for new ways to cook foods, as I have been cooking for 65 years and the old recipes are getting old, and my hubby is a particular eater so I slowly have been introducing him to new foods with some degree of success, he does like me to try new recipes also as he like me is tired of the old foods.

    I love Taste of Home! I need this cookbook because my family is begging for some new recipes, I guess they are tired of the same tried and true recipes for dinner.

    My mom taught me to cook using Taste of Home recipes so I have a deep love for it! I have even been a runner up in a contest. I would love to have this cookbook so that I can learn to honor other parts of the country by cooking and enjoy their tasty contributions!

    I’d love to win because I adore Taste of Home recipes, I own most of the annual quick cookings, but would love a chance to see more of what they have to offer. Thanks for the chance.
