Spaghetti Sauce

This is my sister in law, Janalies recipe . . . never tried but heard its yummy!

1 pound hamburger

1 chopped onion

1 bay leaf

2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1 tsp oregano

1 tbs worchestershire sauce

1 tbs brown sugar

1 tsp garlic salt

1 tsp chili powder

2 tsp basil

1/2 c. ketchup

2 cans tomato sauce

1 can diced tomatoes

1 can tomato soup

1 can cream of mushroom soup

2 shredded carrots

In a large pot brown the hamburger with the onion. Drain the oil, and add the rest of the ingredients, mix well and let simmer for 2 to 3 hours.

This recipe looks intimidating, but it actually goes very quickly. I make this at least once a month and then I freeze the leftovers. I get at least 3 meals out of one batch, and it taste just as good even if it has been frozen.

Lasanga

K- I just kindof throw things in, so this recipe might not be exact. Hope you all like it! :)

About 1 lb. hamburger
1 jar of Ragu spaghetti sauce (I like the six cheese kind for this recipe, but whatever you like will work)
about 1 c. chopped onion
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
2 boxes of lasagna noodles
2 of the bigger containers of cottage cheese (I think it's like the 1lb. 8 oz size.....)
Mozzarella cheese
Cheddar cheese (We like a lot of cheese, so just use what your family likes.)

Pre-heat your oven at 350. Cook the hamburger with the onions and garlic. Once meat is cooked, add the Ragu. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Put about 1/2 of the hambuger mixture in the bottom of the pan. Then, put the uncooked noodles over the hamburger, (I usually use 2 layers of noodles), cover the noodles with 1/2 the cottage cheese, 1/2 the mozzarella, and 1/2 the cheddar. Repeat all the steps. Cover with tin foil and cook for an hour. Enjoy!

Chicken Enchiladas

2 cans Cream of Chicken Soup
16 oz. Sour Cream
1 lb Chicken
1 dozen corn/flour tortillas
cheese
l can diced green chilies (optional- I like the flavor of them)

Combine soup and sour cream, and green chillies if added. Put some meat, a spoonful of soup mixture and cheese on a tortilla and roll up. Place each in a cake pan cover with remaining sauce and cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.

The best Pumpkin Cake EVER!

This is the most incredible cake ever. SOOOOOOOOO GOOD! I am so excited to make it next week when my friends and I get together! Oh yeah, and for those of you who don't like pumpkin . . . this tastes NOTHING like pumpkin. Its more of a spice cake . . . . with pumpkin in it. SO GOOD!

Enchilada Casserole

1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
1 can Enchilada Sauce (mild- I use Rosita)
1 1/2 lb hamburger
6-8 tortillas
cheese- grated

Brown hamburger (I also add some minced onion cuz I like it with enchiladas) . Break up tortillas into chunks or strips (about 1-2") Add to hamburger. Add 2 can items and bring to a boil, then add cheese and melt.

Mix into a casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees til cheese melts. Then top with sour cream, salsa or whatever you prefer.

Taco Soup

This soup is SUPER GOOD. It makes A LOT so it is great to put in bags and freeze for later. With one batch, it made 3 meals for my family. Its super tasty and very easy.

2 small cans light kidney beans
2 small cans dark kidney beans
1 can black beans
2 cans diced tomatoes (I buy the basil & garlic flavor)
1 can corn
1 lb hamburger with 1 packet mild taco seasoning and a little water
40 oz. tomato juice (add as needed . . . I never use the whole thing)
white or brown rice (optional- make enough to feed your families needs)
Frito Lays or French Bread ( I prefer fritos)

Cook hamburger. While it is cooking add all other ingredients to a large pot. Mix the taco seasoning and water to hamburger and put in pot . . .heat thoroughly. While heating through cook instant rice in separate pan (I don't make very much maybe 1 cup for 2 people because I only put a little on the bottom).
TO SERVE: Place rice in the bottom of bowl, add soup, grated cheese, Frito lays and sour cream.
This is SO GOOD with all of those things on top! Its also yummy with French bread.

Stove Top Casserole

This is really good and very easy. I usually opt to this when I can't think of anything and don't want to spend a lot of time cooking.

1 can Cream of Chicken soup
