Pour over cake, icecream, or just your head ! This sauce is creamy, fast, and jar toppings don't even begin to compare.

1/2 Stick butter
2 oz. German Chocolate Squares
1/4 oz. Unsweetened Chocolate Squares

STIR IN:

1 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar

The first time I ever made this in 1995, it was so pretty that my daughter took a picture of it. I can't believe I found the picture, but here it is. Anyway, that was back when you took your film in to be developed, and when the ladies behind the counter gave me my pictures, they said "Oh, please tell us the recipe for whatever that is." This is seriously my number one casserole, and I have hundreds. It makes alot of dirty dishes too, and it's still worth it.

Hillshire Farms Deli Select Brown Sugar Baked Ham

8-10 Hardboiled Eggs, chopped

Miracle Whip

1 TBSP Liquid Smoke

Tinfoil



Shred ham and mix with eggs, miracle whip and smoke flavor. Put in the bun halves, and wrap in foil. Put them in the crockpot on low for at least 2 hours.

Your family will want these every day! (as long as they like ham and eggs)

Just invented at 4 a.m. Christmas morning. For the one person who may read this, Merry Christmas. This is the best pie I've ever made.

As always, use Pilllsbury Already Pie Crust. Brown 1 stick of real butter in a saucepan. This is important. Just don't burn it. Sizzle it on medium while you're shaking the pan around for a couple of minutes. Cool it while you mix:



1 C light Karo Corn Syrup,
3 Large Eggs,
1 Cup of Light Brown Sugar,
1 teaspoon of real French Vanilla Extract,
1/2 tsp. salt,
1/2 cup chopped pecans (a tiny bag) and
1/2 bag of Heath English Toffee Brickle Bits.

 Mix the browned butter with the filling, put in crust. Bake at 425' for 10 minutes. Then reduce oven to 325' and bake 40 minutes more.
 Ok I just ate my first piece while I post this from my phone. I have never eaten the crust on any pie before but for some reason, I did just now. I'm saying it: OMG.
 This pie deserves 2 pictures. Do the pics look gross or good? i can't really tell because while I'm eating it, I'm in a hypnotic trance of some kind. I'm scared I will eat another piece. It is truly just sickeningly good. I'm not guilty at all because I was really skinny this year! This pie will make you feel hugely fat, but so what, it's worth it. Let me know if you think so.

This dip has been requested at every party I've ever had. I make this in a crock pot too. You don't have to, if you make it on the stove you just have to watch it more. It's just so much easier to put everything in the crock pot, and it can simmer on low, staying hot for your friends.

1 lb. cooked hamburger
1 lb. cooked Italian sausage (or a Jimmy Dean roll is good too)
1 Lg. Jar Cheez Whiz
Diced Green Onions
1 Lg. Can Tomato Juice
1 pkt. of taco or chili seasoning
Mix and simmer
Serve with tortilla chips or flavored Doritos

If you live somewhere where they have Cracker Barrel restaurants, you will know how exciting it is to know how they make their hashbrown casserole. It is a well guarded secret, but I used to know someone on "the inside!"

1 (26 oz) Bag Frozen Country Style Hashbrowns
2 Cups Shredded Colby Cheese
1/2 Cup Minced Onion
1 Cup Milk
1/2 Cup Canned Beef Broth
2 TBSP Melted Butter, plus butter to grease your dish (another 2 TBSP)
2 tsp Garlic Powder

Preheat Oven to 425'
In large bowl, combine hashbrowns, cheese and onion
In smaller bowl, combine broth, milk, the melted butter and garlic powder
Pour over hashbrowns
Transfer to very buttery large casserole
Bake for 60 minutes at 425'

Be different this Thanksgiving! Don't buy Cool Whip. Instead, buy a small carton of heavy whipping cream, then customize it. Add 2 TBSP powdered sugar for each Cup of Cream. Chill your bowl in the freezer for 1/2 hour first, then it will whip faster. It only takes a few minutes, and Cool Whip can't compare to real whipped cream. It makes your pumpkin pie and all desserts taste so much fresher.
You can add a teaspoon of almond or vanilla extract, or 1/3 cup brown sugar for a caramel flavored whipped cream. Add orange, lime or lemon shavings for a citrus flavored burst. Add 2 TBSP honey! You won't believe what this will do to an ordinary piece of Sara Lee pound cake.

I make this in a crockpot and it tastes so good on a cold day, all day long. It also makes your house smell great, and gives you a stomach ache if you drink more than a gallon of it. That's what I've heard anyway..

3 Cups Apple Juice

My kids made so much fun of the name of this. It is pretty corny, but this is a really moist, heavy pound cake. You can slice it, spread some lemon butter on it and broil it for about 2 minutes for breakfast. Ha! Ha! If you really did all the stuff I tell you to, we'd all be so fat! But everything I tell you, I have done.
