Ranchero Casserole

By Sharon

 

 


Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds hamburger meat
2 14oz. cans of Ranch Style Beans
1 cup of white rice
1/2 cup of diced celery
1/2 cup of diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup of diced white onion
1 15oz. can of diced tomatoes
1 8oz. can of tomato sauce
1/2 tsp. of cayenne pepper
1 tbs. of chili powder
2x9x13 casserole dish (I use a foil pan for easy clean up)

Preparation
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2) Lightly coat dish with butter or margarine.
3) Brown meat and drain very well.
4) mix all ingredients well and put into dish.
5) place in oven and let cook for 1 hour.

** Option - if you wish you may cover with shredded cheese approx. 5 minutes before removing dish from oven.

When I make this I tend eat it with fried potatoes (not french fries) and some hot buttered french bread. It will feed 4 to 6 people. It is good as a leftover, just dip some out and toss it into the microwave for a few minutes, add about a teaspoon of water to keep it from getting that dried out taste.

Candy Bar on a Plate"

(Recipe by Dennis, brother of Judy Adams)  

One 6-ounce ready-to-fill chocolate flavored crumb pie crust.
1/2 cup pecan pieces, coarsely chopped
25 Kraft caramels
2 tablespoons milk
1 and 1/3 cups (9 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup heavy (whipping) cream
3 tablespoons butter  
Chop pecans and sprinkle into pie crust.

Microwave caramels and milk only enough to melt. Melt in intervals of 20-25 seconds to prevent burning. Stir melted caramels and milk together and pour over pecans in pie crust. Set the pie crust aside and let this caramel layer cool while preparing the next layer. Next, microwave the chocolate chips, cream, and butter, again in short intervals to avoid burning. When melted, stir these ingredients together and pour the mixture into the crust over the cooled caramel layer. Cool the entire pie in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours prior to serving. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.   (This is very rich and you will probably only want a very small slice of the pie).
