BBQ Cups

Ingredients

2 tubes round crescent rolls
1 pound hamburger
1 small onion
1 cup BBQ sauce
Cheese (as desired)

Directions
Heat oven to 350.

Brown beef and onion together in skillet. Add BBQ sauce and let simmer for 5 minutes. (I make my own BBQ sauce)

While meat in simmering press the crescent rolls into muffin tins, bringing the dough up along the sides.

Pour beef into each cup filling only to the top of the roll. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and top with cheese. Bake for additional 5-7 minutes.

We made these last night...the kids liked them, they were fast and easy, and there were pleanty of left overs! BONUS, Lexi was able to help press the rolls into the muffin tins.

Aunt Peggy's Sweet Potato Souffle

Recipe courtesy The Deen Family
.
Serves:4 to 6 servings.


Ingredients

Souffle:
3 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes, from about 2 to 3 small baked potatoes
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp cloves
2 tsp cinnamon
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, about 1 stick, melted
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt

Topping:
1 cup packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, about 1/2 stick, cubed, at room temperature
1/2 cup self-rising cake flour
1 cup chopped pecans

Directions


Souffle: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.

In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, sugar, spices, eggs, milk, butter, vanilla, and salt. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Topping: Combine the brown sugar, butter, flour, and pecans in a separate bowl. Crumble the topping over the sweet potato mixture.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the topping is golden brown. Serve hot.

*** Make sure you BAKE and then mash the sweet potatoes. If you boil them the casserole will become watery after baking (I learned this the hard way this year)

*** With the spices I just add to taste so if you think there should be more or less of something, add it/take it away

SNICKER SALAD (tastes like a yummy caramel apple with nuts and chocolate) Ingredients: Cool whip, one package of instant vanilla pudding (small box), one cup of milk, Snickers (frozen or cold - easier to chop), green apples (tart, with a little sweet and lots of juicy). 1) Add instant pudding into mixing bowl and pour in 1 Cup cold milk. Mix well and let chill while chopping candy. 2) Chop Snickers bars into bite size pieces. I have added Milky way bars and Rolos before. You can always leave out the Snickers bars if you have a nut allergy. 3) Chop green apples into bite sized pieces (I use about 8-10). 4) Fold in one 8 ounce container of Cool Whip (or more if you think it needs more. I usually buy the 16 ounce container just in case) into the pudding. 5) Combine candy and apples in bowl with pudding mixture. 6) ENJOY!! Be sure and control yourself or you might just eat the whole bowl yourself!
