Peach Cobbler

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 4 cups fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and sliced
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup milk

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour butter in to the bottom of a large casserole or 9 x 13 inch pan.
2. In the prepared dish, toss together the peaches and 2 tablespoons sugar.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the 1 cup sugar, salt, baking powder, flour, cinnamon, and milk. Spoon batter over the peaches.
4. Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until top is golden brown.

*Mix the cinnamon in with the peaches instead of the batter. Use a couple TB less of butter. That's what was recommended on allrecipes.com. Mine is baking in the oven right now, we'll see how it turns out. :)

Hamburger casserole

Hamburger meat (depends on how large your casserole dish is 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 lbs)
mashed potatoes (for a fewer carb approach, I think you could use mashed cauliflower)
green beans
shredded cheddar cheese
salt
pepper
garlic powder

Squish hamburger into the bottom and sides of a casserole dish, season with garlic, salt, and pepper. Put a layer of mashed potatoes on top of the meat, put a layer of green beans, then add another layer of mashed potatoes. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes. Add shredded cheddar cheese on top and bake until melted and crispy.

*I haven't actually made this yet, but it sounded good, and I will be trying it sometime this week. I'll let you know what I think.

Mexican Goulash

1 lb ground turkey, chicken, or beef
1 can black beans w/ liquid
1 can corn w/liquid
Minute rice
Salsa
*green chilies (I think I will add a can of small green chilies the next time I make this)
*black olives sliced (I think I will add these next time)

Brown, drain, and salt your meat. Dump in your beans and corn with all of their liquids. Using either the bean or corn can, fill it up with minute rice and dump into the pot, then fill the can with salsa and add that to the pot. I added a little bit of water to the can (maybe 1/4 of the can), but you might not need this if you don't live in a higher altitude place like Utah. Stir all ingredients together & cover for 10 minutes, then serve.

I thought this was such a great recipe for days when you just don't know what to cook or don't have much time. It's really tasty and so simply to make. I served mine with corn bread.
