Baked Texas Style Chili Dogs {Granny's Recipe Revisited}
When I was in high school, I remember my mother would make these Baked Texas Style Chili Dogs sometimes on Friday nights just before we went to the football game. This was a quick way to serve chili dogs without having to set out all of the fixings, and clean up is quick. What I like most about them is when they come out of the oven, the bun is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside along with the hot dog and chili. They are so yummy good! I made these with some of my Blue Ribbon 8-Hour Chili and served them for a quick Sunday lunch. We had some leftover, and I cut them in half and served them as mini chili dogs at our Life Group Meeting Sunday evening. They were a great hit with the children.
German Chocolate Cake Balls
German Chocolate Cake Balls are just another addition to my long list of German Chocolate favorites. If you have not made cake balls before, this recipe is a good one to start with. Typically, you can make them with cake mixes, canned frosting, and dipping chocolate. How easy is that? Only 3 ingredients! Valentine's is just around the corner, and these would be a wonderful treat. These are fun to make with your children and Grandchildren like I did. We had so much fun making them, and dipping them was the best. For some more wonderful Valentine's treats, look to the right on the sidebar.
Lunch Lady Brownies
Lunch Lady Brownies , a lunch lady from Idaho, introduced these perfectly rich, fudgy chocolate brownies more than 50 years ago. The Lunch Lady Brownies are my new favorite brownie. I am obsessed with pinning every brownie recipe that comes across the Pinterest boards. How did we ever discover new recipes before Pinterest?
Sausage Gravy {Granny's Recipe}
Sausage Gravy is a favorite breakfast food that my family has enjoyed for years. My Children and Grandchildren just gobble this stuff up. This creamy gravy poured over biscuits, even toast, makes for a hearty breakfast. Many of my childhood memories are linked to my Mother preparing food, and this breakfast item is no different. You may think that this Sausage Gravy and Old Fashioned Buttered Toast are difficult to make, but you couldn't be more wrong. This sausage gravy is made with ground sausage, flour, milk, and seasoning. The buttered toast is simply bread and butter. How easy is that? I know. You are asking, "What is old fashioned about buttered toast?" Back in the day when I was growing up, there was no such thing as spreadable butter or margarine. Margarine was the butter of choice. We mostly used margarine and even called it butter. If you used butter in a recipe, you would affectionately call it "real butter." Isn't that funny
Old School Cooking! Leftover Ham and Great Northern Beans {Granny's Recipe}
Leftover Ham and Great Northern Beans , cooked on the stovetop in a big soup pot like my Mother cooked her's. A c rockpot is a great option to cook them, but remember they take less time to cook than pinto beans. The upside--you get to enjoy all those juices quicker with a big slab of cornbread. Our Christmas ham this year was super delicious, and the first thing we always look forward to is cooking the ham bone in a pot of beans. In fact, it never gets frozen. Straight to the pot it went with some Great Northern Beans .
Easy Beef or Venison Pot Pie {Using Pillsbury Pet-Ritz Crust}
Beef or Venison Pot Pies, a casserole under a crust my family describes it. Long ago, the name Pot Pie came from cooking the filling in a pot on the stove and then pouring it into a crust to bake. Pot pies scream comfort food at best!! We are huge fans of pot pies around our house. You can make some of the best pot pies with leftovers. One way to transform leftovers into pure goodness.
