Corn Dog Casserole

Photo source: Taste of Home

"A corn dog casserole is a homey way to mimic the flavor of that favorite fair food on a stick, without the fuss. The key ingredients are the same: hot dogs and a cornbread batter. Our corn dog casserole recipe includes a few more ingredients and skips the deep frying (and the stick) to create a family-friendly fare for casual mealtimes." Comment from Taste of Home

It has been years since I had a corn dog and I love them. If they taste anything like a corn dog, I want one!

The Captain would have loved this Jalapeno Pimento Cheese. Not me, I'm not into hot stuff that will burn your mouth, but he grew the hottest peppers he could find and would eat them whole. I love pimento cheese.

"Enchiladas get a beefy boost of goodness from slow-cooked roast. When the meat is done, assemble with tortillas and bake. Top with lettuce and tomatoes if desired." Comment from Taste of Home

I have never had a beef enchilada since I usually tend to go for pork or chicken enchilada. Look forward to making a beef enchilada.

Add them to the slow cooker in the morning, and come home to a flavorful, fork-tender roast beef dinner. This simple recipe is ideal for a busy weeknight meal (and will leave plenty of leftovers!).

When I first got my slow cooker, I made roast beef and gravy all the time. It was like a new toy. Both my husband and I loved having it at least once a week for a long time. We would invite people over for dinner as an excuse to make it. Only another foodie would understand.

Hot Fudge Cake

Photo source: Taste of Home

"Ooey, gooey and chocolatey to its core, this hot fudge cake is pure decadence. Our recipe bakes a homemade fudge sauce right into the tender chocolate cake—so there’s no need to whip up a cake and cook a separate hot fudge sauce to drizzle on later. It’s kind of like one big chocolate lava cake with its pool of molten chocolate swirled all the way through. Like I said, pure decadence." Comment from Taste of Home

Get me some vanilla ice cream to go with this awesome cake!
