Looking for the one that has sausage, potatoes and different green/yellow beans if anyone has experimented with it.  I live in Texas and would love a recipe to fill in between SDC visits!

[Ozarks Gal]

I tend to make the potato/onion/sausage skillet. They are pretty easy. A quick Google of "Silver Dollar City skillet" brought some good-looking results. This one says it's from the Culinary and Craft School at the City. This one is a discussion topic from Taste of Home with quite a few of the recipes of the skillet meals. Happy cooking!

When I was there last i asked them if I could get the recipe for the Succotash, and they had an extra copy of it that they gave me. If you want me to I can post it.

[Gilligan]

YES!! I WANT IT!  Thanks for offering to post it.

I have attempted to make what I was told at the park...but it ended up being odd amounts like Brown's candy "200 lbs sugar+ 5 gallons this, and 4 Cups of that..."

That's funny, Rube!!

This is a tough thread to read just before lunch time! So, have any of you had a chance to try the "official" recipe yet? If you need a taste tester I can volunteer.

Ozark, I gave it a shot about a week ago and it turned out pretty good.  I used a little more chicken than called for (and could have added even more) and also the way the veggies are cut is important.  I ended up with rather large chunks or "squares" of onions in mine and I don't remember it being that way at SDC.  Cutting smaller veggies is a good idea.  I think (and I am only guessing here) that SDC precooks everything and simply reheats it in the skillets.  I had the leftovers the next day and it really seemed like it tasted closer to the SDC recipe on the second day.  If anyone happens across the recipe for the skillet with the green beans or the potato skillet with sausage I'd love to have those as well.

---Lumbercamp Falls Skillet Sausage Medly---
•   2 Strips bacon
•   3 Cups red potatoes, scrubbed and sliced in ¼ inch slices
•   1 Cup sliced bell peppers
•   1 Cup chopped onions
•   2 Cups whole kernel corn (fresh, frozen or canned)
•   1 Lb. smoked andouille sausage, sliced in ½ inch slices (precooked)
•   Salt, pepper and cayenne pepper

   Fry bacon in large pan until crisp and remove from pan, leaving bacon drippings. Add potatoes, peppers and onions and stir fry over medium-low heat until potatoes start to soften. Add corn and andouille sausage and continue to stir fry until potatoes are done and mixture is heated through. Add crumbled bacon strips. Season to taste. (Olive oil may be substituted for bacon drippings)

---------
Or, if you are an eye-ball cooker like me: heat enough oil to cover the bottom of your cast iron pan (I plan to try the bacon grease method soon instead). Add 3 or 4 peeled and sliced potatoes (I just eye-ball it, see what looks like enough. Red or russets work fine). On top of that add 1 chopped onion and some chopped green pepper. Sprinkle Seasoned-salt, Black Kettle Seasoning, or other seasonings of your choice on top to taste. (I usually add a bit of black pepper, too.) Cook on medium until potatoes on bottom start to brown, then flip. Continue cooking until potatoes are done, stirring as needed. When the potatoes are almost finished I add some frozen corn and the sliced sausage (personal favorite: Hillshire Farms Smoked Sausage. I had less than satisfactory results with Eckrich sausages.)

---Harvest Skillet---
•   2 cups frozen green beans
•   2 cups frozen wax beans
•   2 cups frozen or fresh whole baby carrots (You may choose to halve the carrots)
•   2 cups thinly sliced red potatoes, skins on
•   3 pounds of ham, cut into 1 inch cubes OR smoked sausage, thinly sliced
•   1 teaspoon salt
•   Paprika, garlic, and pepper to taste
•   1/2 cup lard or your favorite oil
Recipe Courtesy of Silver Dollar City's Culinary & Craft School.

   To expedite the cooking, pre-thaw the beans, and use fresh carrots. You can also roast the potatoes in the oven to decrease the cooking time. Starting with the vegetable that takes the longest to cook (depending on whether you precook the potatoes or carrots), stir-fry everything in the hot oil in a preheated wok or large skillet. If you pre-roast the potatoes, then you would prepare this dish in the order it is presented. Be sure to heat the skillet or wok thoroughly before cooking so that the vegetables do not absorb too much oil. Park cooks use lard to make this stir-fry, but vegetable oil is used in the cooking classes. If you want traditional Silver Dollar City taste, stick with lard. In the park, the potatoes are thinly sliced and stir-fried raw, but the cooking class suggests precooking the potatoes and carrots in the microwave oven for faster stir-frying. Frozen vegetables should be thawed.

Why am I reading this right before going to get lunch? I'm starving, and nothing sounds good now, except that stuff ^^^

I know this is an old post, but it was handy having the recipe for succotash here handy. We are making it tonight with a pan of cornbread. Yum. Thanks for posting!
