speeddiva Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) This is a good alternative to green bean casserole. it’s made in the slow cooker so it has the bonus of freeing up oven space. BBQ green beans 4 (14.5 oz.) cans green beans, rinsed and drained8 slices thickly-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled, 2 tablespoons drippings reserved1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped1/2 cup ketchup1/3 cup brown sugar, packed1/3 cup BBQ sauce1/4 cup honey1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepperKosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste In a large bowl, combine ketchup, brown sugar, BBQ sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If using, heat 2 tablespoons reserved bacon drippings in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat and sauté onion until softened and translucent. Season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes, then remove from heat. Place green beans and onions (including remaining bacon grease) in a lightly greased slow cooker, then pour BBQ ketchup mixture over them. Mix everything together until incorporated, then top with crumbled bacon. Cover slow cooker and cook on high for 2-3 hours, or on low for 4-5 hours.

ilikefree Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Super simple but they go quick! Chocolate Kiss Pretzels Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and line up square pretzels over the entire thing. Place an unwrapped Hershey Kiss on each pretzel. Place in 200 degree oven just long enough to soften the chocolate a little, shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. Just want the chocolate softened, not melted. Remove from the oven and while they are still soft, press an M&M (I but the red and green Christmas ones) onto each kiss. Let set so chocolate hardens again (can put in refrigerator to speed the process). Keep in a covered container. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansieDZ Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Corn pudding! (The name sounds so vile to me and because of that, I refused to try it for years...boy was I missing out...absolutely the most delicious thing ever!) I make it every year at Thanksgiving and Christmas and it is always a hit! A delicious comfort food. I usually double this recipe and use a larger baking dish. 1 can of creamed corn1 can whole kernel corn1/4 pound of butter softened 1 package Jiffy cornbread mix8 oz of sour cream Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Put butter in 2 quart casserole dish, place in oven until melted. Remove casserole dish and add creamed corn, kernel corn, corn muffin mix and sour cream. Mix well, bake uncovered approximately 30 minutes.We add a cup of shredded cheese to it and call it Corn Casserole! I make it just about every holiday even if I'm usually the only one who eats it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinholt1 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 A very easy and yummy dessert Dump Cake1 box of yellow cake mix1 can of cherry pie filling1 can of crushed pineapples2 sticks of melted butter Dump the can of cherry pie filling on bottom of cake pan. Dump the pineapples(juice an all) on top of that and then pour the dry cake mix over the pineapples. Pour the melted butter over top of the cake mix. Bake at 350 for around 30 - 45 minutes or until golden brown. Can use any variations of pie filling, canned fruit. We've tried it with many and their all delicious. This is always a hit at my house. This is a favorite at our house too. You can do this in a crock pot too. It takes 2 1/2 hours on high or 3 1/2 hours on low to bake in my crock pot. (Give a little more or less time for your crock pot.) Another variation on this (A favorite of mom's) is to take frozen fruit (Mom puts up peaches in summer for this but you can get a bag of frozen fruit from the grocery store. Add a little water to the store bought bag to make some juice. About 1/2 to 3/4 cup.) Dump the frozen fruit in the crock pot. Add some brown sugar and cinnamon and a dash of vanilla extract on top of the fruit. (To taste. Come on! It's a dump cake. Who measures??). Then dump a whole box of a moist or pudding yellow cake mix on top and then pour 1 stick of melted butter on that. It takes 2 1/2 hours on high or 3 1/2 hours on low in my crock pot. It's just ooey gooey sweet warm comfort food. Serve warm with ice cream or whipping cream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dealdiva Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Giant Ginger Cookies (bhg receipe) I make these every Christmas and they are outstanding. Great flavor and they bake up great! You won't be disappointed. Giant Ginger Cookies 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour 4 teaspoons ground ginger 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon 1teaspoon ground cloves ¼ teaspoon salt 1 1/2cups shortening 2cups granulated sugar 2 eggs ½ cup molasses ¾ cup coarse sugar or granulated sugar Directions 1. In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt; set aside. 2. In a large mixing bowl beat shortening with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds to soften. Gradually add the 2 cups granulated sugar. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in eggs and molasses. Beat in as much of the flour mixture as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour mixture. 3. Shape dough into 2-inch balls using 1/4 cup dough. Roll balls in the 3/4 cup coarse or granulated sugar. Place about 2-1/2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. 4. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 12 to 14 minutes or until cookies are light brown and puffed. (Do not overbake or cookies will not be chewy.) Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Store in a tightly covered container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Makes twenty-five (25) 4-inch cookies. http://images.meredith.com/content/dam/bhg/Images/recipe/35/R031285.jpg.rendition.largest.jpg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
