Cornbread Mexi-Casserole

(I doubled the recipe)

1lb. ground beef

1 packet of taco seasoning

1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese {I used the Mexican style cheese blend}

1 box of JIFFY corn muffin mix  

1 can of Hominy

Preheat ovhn to 400 degrees.  Brown meat in pan.  Drain and stir in taco seasoning & 3/4 cup water.  Cook on low for 5 minutes, add in hominy.  In a separate bowl, mix the corn muffin mix according to the package.  Remove meat from stove & place in an 8x8 baking dish. or a 9x11 if you are doubling the recipe like I did above.  Cover with cheese.  Take the corn muffin mixture and pour on top of the cheese.  Cook for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown, mine took about 25 minutes.

Campfire Cookies

S'mores... yum
pinned these first here

Campfire Cookies

1 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar, Cream together butter and sugar until incorporated

Add:2 eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla. Beat thoroughly Add:2 cups flour, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 cup chocolate chips, or one giant Hershey's bar, chopped,1 cup mini marshmallows. Stir to incorporate.

The most fun part about these cookies is that you actually bake the cookie on top of a whole graham cracker.
Bake at F350°, for no more than 11 minutes (after 11 minutes, the graham cracker will burn).Some of the marshmallow may toast off the cracker, but simply remove the cracker from your cookie sheet and quickly transfer to a wire rack.

Easy Doughnuts-Cinnamon & Sugar

 These Doughnuts were the easiest to make! Very good for beginners... I first pinned them here


 use a simple water bottle cap and push into the biscuit to make the hole...

 looks like this, save the extra to make doughnut holes :)

  heat oil and flip.. don't get it too hot though because then the doughnut browns on the outside too fast and doesn't cook fully in the center..

 then dip in butter and cinnamon and sugar..

Doughnuts

Ingredients

• 1 ten count can Texas style doughnuts (or your preference, just not flaky layers)
• 1 Cup Sugar
• 1 1/2 Tablespoon cinnamon
• 1 stick margarine, melted
• Vegetable Oil For Frying

Instructions

1. Pour oil into skillet to the depth of a little less than 1/2 an inch and heat on medium to medium high for about five minutes. In a bowl, melt margarine. In a separate bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar.
2. Using a plastic bottle cap, cut the center out of each biscuit. Drop dough into hot oil, watching carefully and turning when golden. Once doughnuts are golden on both sides, remove to paper towel lined plate. Repeat until all dough is cooked, including doughnut holes.
3. Dip both sides of each doughnut into melted margarine, then press both sides into cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve warm.
