Hershey Bar Pie

I got this from my aunt. If I ever have to take a dessert to a gathering... this is a quick and easy pie I will fix.

4 regular size Hershey Bars
8 oz. cool whip
1 graham cracker pie crust

Melt chocolate bars in microwave. This doesn't take but just a few seconds. Don't burn the chocolate. Stir in cool whip. Pour into the crust and chill for at least 3 hours. Keep refrigerated.

Takes about 5 minutes to make!

Jay's Potatoes

My Dad came up with this recipe when he was in Boy Scouts (in his younger years :-) to get a patch or whatever they are called. :-)

Potatoes (6-8) white or red
Butter
Salt and pepper
McCormick Broiled Steak Seasoning Salt
Onions (thinny sliced)
Water

Peel potatoes and slice (thin). Cover bottom of baking dish with water (not much, just enough to cover bottom). Put in a layer of potatoes; salt and pepper them. Sprinkle with steak seasoning and dot with butter. Add a layer of onion. Repeat layers. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for about an hour.

Quick Chicken

I found this one online and it is great!

1 package chicken tenders
Dijon mustard
1/4 cup Teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup bacon bits
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken in glass dish. Slather dijon mustard, evenly over chicken, then pour teriyaki sauce evenly over all. Sprinkle bacon bits over chicken. Bake on 400 for about 30 minutes. About 3-5 minutes before chicken is done, add cheese to top. Let it bake and melt on chicken.

Yumm!

EASY Pepper Steak

1 pack McCormick Brown Gravy Mix
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2-2 lbs. sliced steak

Hailey's Hamburger Seasoning

When grilling out (you may not do this much in Utah this time of year like in NC) use this seasoning in your hamburgers.

1 tablespoon Worcestershire
2 teaspoons minced onion
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

I do this with about a pound of hamburger.

Taco Salad

First, thanks for adding me to this blog. I love finding and sharing new, easy recipes.
Here is one of my family's favorites!

Taco Salad

1 lb. hamburger
1 pack Taco seasoning
1 head of lettuce
1 green pepper
1 tomato
Taco cheese
1 small bottle Catalina
1 bag Doritos (crunched up)

Brown hamburger and drain. Add taco seasoning, following directions on package. Cool completely. Tear up lettuce and chop green pepper and tomato. Crunch up Doritos (still in bad *but open it a little bit so the bag doesn't bust and Doritos don't fly everywhere*) Put hamburger, lettuce, pepper, tomato, and cheese in a large bowl. Just before serving stir in Doritos and Catalina.

So Yum-O!

3 Tablespoons Poppy Seeds
1/2 C Melted Butter
3/4 Medium Tub of Sour Cream
1 can Cream of Chicken
Salt and Pepper

Boil your chicken and cut into cubes (or small bite size pieces). Mix the chicken with the cream of chicken soup and the sour cream. Also add salt and pepper to this mixture.

In another bowl, crush the 2 sleeves of ritz crackers. Mix in the poppy seeds and melted butter. Make sure it is all coated.
