Judy's Catfish Stew

This is typical Judy Bradham Elliott!!! LOL

I found this recipe in Mama’s handwriting on a piece of torn notebook paper (about 2 inches) grocery list on one side…no title, and directions on the back. Click on the pictures for a clearer view, if you'd like! :-)  This is the only catfish stew recipe she had…but it works. It is perfection!

This is the grocery list for a dinner party...

                                               Catsup......... Bread.......... Bacon
                                               Mustard....... Drinks......... Butter
                                               Onions......... Coffee......... Sweets
                                               Butts Meat... Sugar
                                               Rice............. Cream
                                               Salt.............. Milk
                                               Pepper......... Eggs

Cook Butts Meat until almost done. Add cut up onion. Cook. Drain off grease. Add fish. Add catsup to cover fish real good. Add 2 tablespoons mustard. Add salt and pepper and one cup water. Don't stir. Twist pot. Simmer until done.
