“Would you like a glass of icy cold tea, and a sugar cookie Ginny? You and I could go in the back yard and sit under the Oak tree and have us a little talk.”

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

So, said Ginny, the evangelist Hinshaw is sparking Olivia is he? I told Ginny that courting must be different than sparking. With courting you were usually alone, just the two of you. Also, the gentleman usually did the inviting NOT the grandma, and certainly not to supper with 13 other people in attendance. Nope, with courting you were ask out, it usually wasn’t because you felt obligated cause the preachers wife was expecting and couldn’t stand on her feet for hours preparing a meal fit for a king so’s you could put on the dog while the evangelist was in revival at your church. Ginny’s eyes got real wide and she sat up straight. After staring at me over the top of her spectacles for what seemed an hour but I’m sure was only a few seconds, she ask what was being prepared that smelled so delicious it must be sinful. Now the conversation was headed in the right direction.

Well, you know Aunt Nita, nothing’s to good for a preacher man (I didn’t dare add, especially when he was interested in her niece) so she is preparing Golden Swiss Steak, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, fresh picked Green Beans, hot buttered Corn Bread, and Berry Cobbler for dessert. Hmmmmm, she said, sure smells good. I didn’t say a word. We finished our tea in silence and headed back for the kitchen. I would leave extending an invite to Ginny for supper up to Aunt Nita. Like Grandpa says, “I know which side my bread is buttered on."

Golden Swiss Steak

1/2 C flour
1/4 C vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 green bell pepper (cut into thin strips)
4 small green onions (scallions) chopped using green stems also
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 large vine ripe tomato (diced)
1/2 C V8 juice
1 can Campbell’s Golden Mushroom soup
2 lb’s round steak, (½ inch thick)

Place meat on cutting board and cut into desired serving pieces. On cutting board using a meat mallet, pound the meat on both sides until it is flat. Rub meat on all sides with flour until it is completely coated. Put oil in large skillet and heat over medium heat. When oil is hot, place steak pieces in skillet and brown on both sides. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper. Add bell pepper, green onions, garlic, and tomato. Stir, making sure to get all brown crust from the bottom of the skillet. This is the basis of your sauce and will give your Swiss Steak lot’s of flavor. Simmer for 10 minutes without lid. Mix tomato juice and golden mushroom soup together in a small bowl, making sure to mix thoroughly. Pour over the meat mixture, place lid on skillet and turn to simmer. Simmer on LOW HEAT for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, again making sure to scrape the goodies from the bottom of the pan.

Hint: You don’t have to be an evangelist to love this!
