Cokk lemon pie filling according to package directions, cool. Drain cherries. Add sugar to cherry juice and cook until sugar dissolves. Add flour and cook over low heat until mixture becomes very thick. Be carefull not to burn. Mix thickened liquid with cherries. Mix cooled lemon filling with cream cheese.

1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 cup salad oil

Cut steak into serving pieces. Pound with mallet and trim off excess fat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Dip into egg, then in crushed corn flakes mixed with chili powder. Brown on both sides in hot oil and cook until done.


I have tried this recipe and it is very good, of course I used pork steak instead of beef steak. The pork steak was on sale. I think this recipe would probably good with other kinds of meat as well, but not for sure though.
