sisterscafe.blogspot.com

1 cup flour
1 cup quick oats
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup chocolate chips (I like milk for this)
3/4 cup carmel topping
1/2 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
3 Tablespoons flour



Mix flour, oats, sugar, soda, salt and butter. Press half of the mixture into a 11x7 pan and set the other half aside. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and chopped pecans (if using). Blend 3/4 cup carmel with 3 T. flour. Pour (drizzle) over chocolate chips. Sprinkle the balance of the flour oat mixture over the dessert. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until light brown. Allow to cool and set before slicing.

*I have made these with and without the pecans and I like them better without the pecans.

Frito Casserole

Frito Casserole


1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can RED enchilada sauce
1 can tomato sauce
1 can red chili beans
1 package Fritos
1 cup sour cream
2 ½ cups grated cheddar cheese

**Do not add salt as the Fritos are already salted!

Brown beef and onion together. Add tomato sauce and enchilada sauce and mix well. Add drained chili beans and 1 ½ cups cheese. Stir in ¾ of the package of Fritos. Don’t mash in the Fritos, just toss lightly so Fritos are well covered with the sauce and beans.



Place in a casserole or dripper pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. On top of the casserole, spread the rest of the cheese then dollop with sour cream. Line the edges of the pan or casserole with the remaining chips. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes until heated through.

for Matthew: Cowboy's Delight!

Cowboy’s Delight
Serves 6 (about)

1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1-1/2 tsp ground chili powder
1 tsp salt
1/2tsp pepper
Garlic powder to taste
OPT: Cumin powder to taste (abt 1/4tsp to 1/2tsp at most)
1 can tomato paste
2 cans diced or sliced or whole tomatoes (whichever you prefer, it doesn’t matter)
1 package elbow macaroni or favorite pasta shape
Grated cheese

Brown ground beef in skillet. Add onion and continue to cook until onion is transparent. Add spices and tomato paste with 1 can of water from the tomato paste can. Add the diced tomatoes and mix together.

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving about 1/2cup of the liquid. Add the pasta and the tomato mixture in a large casserole or deep pan. The mixture should be very moist. If it isn’t, at this point, add another can of tomatoes or one can of tomato sauce, whichever you prefer.

If you are not going to be eating right away, as the pasta sits, it usually soaks up the tomato sauce and becomes somewhat dry. At that point, add the reserved 1/2cup of liquid from the pasta. This will restore the pasta and tomato without having to add so much tomato and without throwing off the balance of the casserole.

Serve with grated cheese.

**You can add more or less chili powder for heat!
