Homemade Sloppy Joes

This is another great kids meal. It is great for a quick meal and our kids love them. We usually make tater tots with these, but I love salt and vinegar chips myself with them..  You can also make my mac-n- cheese with these too.


1 lb. ground beef
1 teas dried onion flakes
1 teas garlic powder
1/8 teas. crushed red pepper
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1 table oil
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1/4 teas. salt
buns


Brown and drain ground beef. Add onion powder, garlic powder. red pepper, ketchup,
oil, worcestershire sauce and salt. Simmer for about 5 minutes and enjoy with your kids...

Loaded Brownies

The kids have been gone all weekend, so I decided to make them a treat just because we missed them. I think they will love these.. Im sure I will be making these a lot now since they have tasted them. You can even change out the Oreo's for peanut butter cups or even add both. They are also very easy.....

1 box brownie mix

1 pk. Oreos

1 pk. chocolate chip cookie mix

Make the cookie mix per the package instructions. Press in bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Layer a layer of Oreos on top of the cookie dough mix. Make brownies per box instruction and pour over the oreos. Bake at 350 for 45 to 50 minutes.  Let cool and cut into squares.  You can eat these by themselves or add some ice cream to the tops.. Hope you enjoy these.
