by: Bobby McDonald

 

 

Beef brisket is a favorite of everyone and can be cooked slowly in the oven, while you
prepare other menu items.

 

 

You're expecting a crowd for the 4th of July. Where do you begin to feed a large group? Well, how about trying this simple menu, that is both hearty and filling, and sure to please everyone? Put a beef brisket in the oven and let it cook on low heat, all night, while you sleep and do other things. Prepare this hominy recipe and fry some fried green tomatoes. Add a green salad and ask a couple of your guests to bring a favorite dessert and bread items. Independence Day lunch or dinner is ready, and you're not stressed to the max, either!
