Our Favorite Quiche

This recipe we adapted from several and have used it for over 20 years!  Serve it every time I have a baby or bridal shower.  Our whole family has enjoyed this for years.

2 ounces minced onion
2 ounces cheddar cheese
2 ounces Swiss cheese
8 ounces bacon, chopped into 1/2 inch slices crosswise
4 eggs
1 1/2 Cups half-n-half
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp Lawrys
1 T fresh chopped green onions
1 Pie shell - For a great pie crust try my mom's  Foolproof Recipe
After bacon is nearly done cooking, add the onions and cook until they are tender.  Drain and cool.
Mix cooled bacon mixture with the cheese and place in pie shell.
Blend the eggs, half-n-half, dry mustard, salt and Lawrys. Pour into pie shell to brim.  Sprinkle with chopped green onions.  Bake @350 for 45 minutes or until filling is set.

Mongolian Beef Stir Fry

1 (2 lb.) boneless sirloin tip roast - I used tri tip steak
1/2 C soy sauce
2 T dry sherry - I used dry white wine
2 tsp. sesame oil - I have hot sesame oil
3 T cornstarch
2 T brown sugar
2 tsp. crushed red pepper
4-6 whole dried red peppers
1/4 C plus 2 T vegetable oil, divided
4 bunches green onions, cut into 2 inch pieces
Fried rice, noodles, or hot cook rice
3 strips red chili (optional) - I did not add this
Partially freeze meat; slice diagonally across grain into 3 x 1/2 inch strips and set aside.  Combine next 7 ingredients, mix well, add beef.  Cover and refrigerate 20 minutes.
Pour 2 T vegetable oil around top of  heated wok, coating sides; heat at medium high (325 degrees) for 1 minute.  Add green onions; cover, reduce heat to low (200 degrees) and cook 6 minutes of until tender. Remove green onions, add remaining 1/4 C vegetable oil; allow to heat at medium high (325 degrees) for 1 minute.  Add beef mixture, and stir fry 5 minutes or until done.
return onions to beef mixture; stir fry 30 seconds or until thoroughly heated. Remove whole red peppers, if desired. Serve over fried rice, noodles or rice.  Garnish with fresh red chili, if desired.  Serves 6-8.
Found this at Cooks.com and it is wonderful.  We cut all ingredients in half and it was perfect for the two of us with leftovers for whatever...  I have a gas stove and used the exact settings and times in the recipe.
