Pumpkin Pie Cake

This recipe turns out like a warm pumpkin custard with a streusal topping. The best part is the way it makes the house smell!

Recipe by Miss Rainy Simpson

2 15 oz. cans of pumpkin

1 12 oz. can of evaporated milk

1 1/2 cups of sugar

2 teaspoons of cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg

4 eggs  

1 box of yellow cake mix

3/4 cup of melted butter

Beat the first group of ingredients together in a mixer (excluding the yellow cake mix and butter).

 

Put your beaten pumpkin mixture into a 9x12 cake pan (mine has seen better days ;)

 

 

Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix over the top, and then drizzle the butter over that. (If you would like you could also sprinkle on some nuts, I chose not too).

Bake the cake at 350 degrees for one hour. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Enchiladas

 Recipe By Miss Dusty Miller

I just made this recipe for my family tonight and my husband said, "You put the corn in it like Dusty does right?"  Apparently that is what makes it so good!

1lb. hamburger

1 can of corn (drained)

1 can of refried beans

1 can of chopped or sliced olives

1-2 large cans of enchilada sauce

1lb. shredded cheese

1 package of medium tortillas

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease 8 x 11 pan (or larger)

Brown hamburger and drain.  Mix in refried beans, corn, and olives.  Pour in a little sauce to taste.  

 

Pour enchilada sauce into a large dish (I used a deep pan).  Dip in tortillas (one at a time) and wet each side.

Move tortilla to a separate plate (very messy)!  Fill tortilla down the middle with the beef filling.

Sprinkle a little cheese on top (or a lot)!

Roll it up and place into the greased pan.  Repeat until your pan is full. When finished pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and cover with cheese. (THE MORE THE BETTER!!!)

I was able to fill up another small pan with the remaining ingredients.  These freeze well.  Before baking I put this small pan in the freezer for another meal next week.  *BONUS*

Bake uncovered for approximately 30 minutes until bubbly.

Serve with sour cream. Delicious!

Blueberry Cream Cheese Tartlettes

 "I always end up with plenty of dough left over when I make pie crust.  When the kids were little I would lay them out on a cookie sheet and add cinnamon and sugar and bake them.  I called then Crusties and the kids loved them.  This time I thought I would get creative.  I made this to go with the Santa Fe Pot Pie to finish off the meal and my hubby loved them."

-Recipe by Miss Ivy Breen

My mini muffin pan makes square muffins - yours is probably round.

I lined the pan with the crust and in each one I placed 3-4 fresh blueberries.

Then I went to the hall closet to get my mixer.  Why do I keep my mixer in the hall closet?  Well that's another story.

Using the small mixing bowl, mix the following until smooth:

1 package cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 egg
Sweeten to taste
Cinnamon

Pour this mixture into the muffin tins, sprinkle with cinnamon.

 

Bake at 350 degrees until done - about 20 minutes. It's done when a knife inserted comes out clean.

To serve I added a dollop of whip cream.

Santa Fe Pot Pie

 Recipe by Miss Ivy Breen

Ingredients:
1/2 onion -  copped
a little oil
2 lbs hamburger  (you don't have to be too particular with the pounds, just a good size package)
1 lb sausage  (again, don't worry about the exact size)
1 can tomato sauce
1 can kidney or pinto beans
1 cup salsa
1 package taco seasoning

Pie crust - either homemade or store bought
1 can green beans
shredded cheese

Mashed potatoes
A good tablespoon of sour cream and butter
Salt, pepper and any other seasoning you like (I used basil)

In a skillet saute onion with oil until it starts to get translucent.  Add hamburger and sausage and cook until done.  Drain the grease.  Add tomato sauce, salsa and taco seasoning and beans.  Salt and pepper it to your taste.  Set aside

Peel and cube your potatoes and get to boiling.

Make your pie crust or use a premade pie crust. Using a fork, poke holes in the crust and bake it until it is just slightly cooked - about 10-15 minutes, you don't want it to brown at this point, just set up.  Precooking your crust will keep it from being doughy when you layer the meat into it.

Add your meat mixture to the crust

 Layer on the green beans

Top this with grated cheese

When you mash your potatoes, I added lots of Basil seasoning, butter and sour cream.  Whip it good (no pun intended).  Because your meat mixture is so flavorful, I think the mashed potatoes needs to be extra flavorful in order to hold up with the meat flavor so be generous with your seasoning.

 

I then took a spoon and made mounds of potatoes to ring the pot pie with.  Put it back into the 350 degree oven and bake for 1/2 hour to heat through.  I added a dollop of sour cream to the top of each piece when I cut it.  This recipe will serve 6 people and it reheats well if you have leftovers.
