Broccoli Casserole

This is actually another of my husband’s recipes because he grew up eating broccoli casserole. I had only eaten broccoli and cheese a few times in my life before eating this as a casserole. Our daughter, who loves her veggies (usually), loves this casserole more than broccoli and cheese. This is such a good dish…

Slow Cooker Chili Beans

This is another crock pot meal, but this is the time of year for crock pot meals. I love crock pot meals because you just throw your ingredients in and forget about it for 8 hours. This is a very simple recipe for chili beans but full of flavor and so delicious. Ingredients: ~ 1-1/2…

Meatloaf

This is the recipe I use most when I make meatloaf. It’s a combination of how my mama used to make it with a little extra added in since the hubby really likes it this way. Ingredients: ~1 to 1-1/2 lbs. of ground beef ~1-2 tsp. of meatloaf seasoning (I use McCormick’s meatloaf seasoning) ~1/4…

Old Fashioned Pancakes

This second recipe is actually my husband’s recipe, but it is so good that it has to be shared. These pancakes come out so fluffy and buttery and are so delicious! We used self-rising flour for this recipe as we do for all recipes, but I will include measurements for those using all-purpose flour. Ingredients:…
