WOW - I may have found what I am looling for.  I am missing 1 recipe as well.  I used to make it all the time, which is why I probably lost it.  Anyway - if this is the same card file that I have - it has a recipe for Banana Nut Cookies.  Does anyone have this?

These are the only banana cookies I found

Banana Spice Cookies

1/2 cup shortening

1 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 cup mashed banana

2 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon cloves

1/2 chopped nuts

Mix shortening, sugar, eggs and banana. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover; chill about 1 hour. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto lightly greased baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes; cool. Frost with lemon Butter Icing.

Lemon Butter Icing

1/3 cup soft butter or margerine

3 cups confectioners' sugar

About 2 Tablespoons lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel

Blend butter and sugar; stir in lemon juice and peel. Beat until smooth and of spreading consistency.

There is also a receipe for a browned butter icing. Let me know if you need that too.

My request is from the 1971 BC Recipe Card Library, so I'm not sure that the recipe that I'm missing would even be in with yours.  It is for Beef Foil-Wrapped Dinners under the Budget Casseroles section.  If someone would be nice enough to take the time to look for this, I'd really appreciate it very much. Thank you. 

Foil Wrapped Dinners
Budget Casseroles (Card 11)
The Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library

1 - 1 1/2 pounds beef round steak, 1/2 inch thick
10 ounce package frozen green peas
4 medium carrots
4 medium potatoes, pared
10 1/2 ounce can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 1/2 ounce envelope onion soup mix
8 cherry tomatoes

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut meat into 1 inch pieces. Place frozen peas in colander or sieve; run cold water over peas just until broken apart; drain.

Tear off 4 pieces heavy duty aluminum foil, each 18 x 15 inches. On center of each piece, place 1 carrot, thinly sliced, 1 potato, cut into quarters, and 1/4 of the meat. Stir together mushroom soup and onion soup mix; spoon soup mixture over meat and top with peas. Wrap securely in foil; place on ungreased baking sheet.

Bake 50 minutes or until meat is tender. Just before serving, garnish each dinner with two cherry tomatoes, halved. 4 servings.

 I was wondering if you also had the recipe card for the Saucy Twist Pork Dish?

I have this receipe. I am looking for a receipe from that collection called NEW PORT BEEF CASSEROLE? or something like that. It had ground beef, spinach and shell pasta in it.  

Saucy Twist Pork Dish

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

1/3 cup chopped green pepper

1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup

1/2 cup catsup

1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cook macaroni as directed on package: drain. In large skillet cook and stir onion and green pepper in butter until onion is tender. Stir in macaroni and remainting ingredients. Pour into greased cassarole. Cover; bake 30 minutes.

Does anyone have a recipe for oven baked ribs?  It was from the recipe cards in the orange and green boxes.  It was called Saturday Night Supper or Stormy Night Supper.  I believe the bbq sause had ketsup in it.  Thanks for the help.

I have it!

Hi, I haven't been on here for a long time.  Thank you so much for the recipe.  If you haven't tried it, you might want to.  It's very good.  I'm also looking for the recipe for cabbage with cream cheese.  Do you have that one as well?  I've also been looking for the recipe for chocolate cherry drops.  Chocolate cookies with maraschino cherries and white icing.  I think those recipes are from the same box.  Maybe the white box?  I sure do appreciate your help.  Thank you, Karen
