ingredients
2 cups meat, minced (leftover is fine)
cayenne pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon bell peppers, seeded and minced
1 egg, beaten with
1 tablespoon water
breadcrumbs
white sauce
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup milk
directions
Melt butter; blend in flour salt and pepper. Add milk gradually, stirring constantly until mixture thickens, then cook about a minute longer. Add the meat to the white sauce followed by the seasonings and bell pepper. Spread on a plate to cool.
Shape like chicken legs and insert a wooden skewer. Roll in crumbs, egg, then crumbs again. Fry in deep hot fat (380 degrees F) and drain on paper towels.
cook's notes
A great way to recycle leftover meat. A thrifty variation on city chicken, this dish might or might not actually contain chicken.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
