Chili Cheese Dog Casserole
My friend Trisha Headman originally found this recipe on Allrecipes.com. We tweaked it a little bit and this is what we came up with:
8 hot dog buns
8 - 10 hot dogs
2 cans (15 ounce) chili (with or without beans, whatever your preference)
1/4 cup chopped onions
2 cups cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray 9 x 13 pan with vegetable spray. Cut up buns into bite-sized pieces and place evenly in the bottom of the pan. Cut up the hot dogs into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle on top of the bun. Pour both cans of chili over the hot dogs, sprinkle on onions and cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes. Yummy.
Another variation:
Chili Cheese Dog Tater Tot Casserole
Substitute a bag of Tater tots for the buns. This is delicious. We even thought of cooking the tots separately so they are crunchy, warming the chili in the microwave and then assembling the dish right before you are serving. It might even be good with a cheese sauce over the top. Yes, this is extremely fattening, but it could be a Halloween tradition, you only have once a year!

Sweet Potato Biscuits
I got this recipe from a Paula Deen cooking class I took at ISU.
3/4 c. mashed cooked sweet potatoes
1/4 c. milk
1/4 c. butter
1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
4 TBS baking powder
2 heaping tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a large bowl, mix the potatoes, milk, and butter. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the potato mixture and combine to make a soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured board and toss lightly until the outside of the dough looks smooth. Roll the dough out to one-half inch thick and cut with a round cutter. Place the biscuits on a greased pan and bake for about 15 minutes. (Watch your oven: If the biscuits are browning too fast, lower the temperature.)

This is one of our fall favorites. Merritt likes it cold, I like it hot, and ice cream is a must!
Follow the instructions for pumpkin pie on the back of the can of pumpkin. Put in a 9x13 pan. Melt one stick of butter and mix with a white or yellow cake mix. Crumble cake/butter mix over pumpkin. Follow baking directions on can for pumpkin pie.
I like to mix up a large can of pumpkin (the size that makes 2 pies) and then I freeze half of it. The next time I want cobbler it is super easy!

Hamburger Stroganoff
From "Hometown Favorites, A Collection from the Waverly Community" - A neighboring town here in Illinois.
This is my kids all time favorite meal besides pizza and shepard's pie. They love it...
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chooped onion
1 cup drained, canned, mushroom stems & pieces
1 can cream of celery soup
1/2 cup beef broth
1/2 cup sour cream
In fry pan, brown ground beef and onion. Drain. Stir in mushrooms, soup and broth. Cover and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes. (This is when I make my rice). Stir in sour cream. Heat through, but do not boil. Serve over noodles, rice, chow mein noodles or potatoes.

Shepherd's Pie
This is my version of Shepherd's Pie. I have tweaked it over the past three years and it's one of the top three meals our kids request.
1 lb ground beef, crumbled and cooked
1 can cream of celery soup
1/2 cup of beef broth
2 1/2 cups frozen veggie mixture (the one with corn, beans, peas, carrots, etc.)
mashed potatoes (the ones from the church cannery), usually about 4 cups water, 2 cups potatoes
shredded cheese
Combined ground beef, cream of celery soup and beef broth in 2.5 quart casserole pan. Spread evenly on the bottom of the the casserole dish. Sprinkle the frozen veggie mix over the top. Mix a handful of shredded cheese in with the mashed potatoes. Spread potato mixture over the top of the veggie layer. Cook at 375 for 20-25 minutes until gravy is bubbly around the potato mixture.
Note: I usually just use whatever veggies I have - canned corn, canned beans, frozen veggie mixture. It doesn't matter because the kids will eat it sandwiched between the meat and potatoes.

Ideas and Variations for Pizza
1. Sometimes I add a couple of tablespoons of Italian Seasoning to the flour before I make the dough.
2. Chicken pizza – I use Alfredo sauce, parmesan cheese and cut up chicken. Add mushrooms, peppers and fresh tomatoes and cover with mozzarella cheese.
3. Taco pizza – I brown 1 lb of hamburger with taco seasoning and make taco meat. Cover dough with a thin layer of refried beans. Use normal taco toppings such as olives, green peppers, onions, cheese, etc. After it is cooked, you can top with cut-up lettuce, taco sauce/enchilada sauce, and sour cream.
4. Cheese pizza – use different kinds of cheese, shredded parmesan cheese, mozzarella, Colby, cheddar, etc.
6. Our favorite chicken pizza - BBQ sauce, grilled chicken, bacon bits, onions, peppers and pineapple.
