New Recipes

Here are two new recipes we tried last night:

BBQ Beans and Weenies
from a Year of Crockpotting

4 cans kidney beans
4 cups favorite BBQ sauce
2 packages of Lil' Smokies, or cut up hotdogs

Throw it all in the crock pot and cook on low for 4-5 hours and high for 2-3.

You can used dried kidney beans with this and cook them the night before, but I can never get dried beans right, I never add enough salt.

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Bars
from Sandra Lee

3/4 cup baking mix
2 cups quick oats
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup cinnamon applesauce
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 egg
1/3 cup honey

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly spray a 9x9 baking pan with Pam, set aside.

Mix all ingredients until well combined. Press dough into prepared baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

This was a little bland to me, but I didn't have cinnamon applesauce, we had the plain. This was super easy though. The next time I try it, I will use the cinnamon. I think they would be a great after school snack though.
