Skillet Cookie

1 roll of refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
8 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
10-15 regular sized marshmallows
vanilla ice cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In cast iron skillet, smush half the cookie dough roll on bottom of cast iron skillet. Arrange peanut butter cups and marshmallows on it then smush other half of cookie dough on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until it is just under cooked. Serve with Vanilla ice cream while cookie is still warm.

I used Reese's this time. Next time I will try some kind of caramel candy. Maybe chopped Twix bars would be good!?

Crockpot Meatballs

1 1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 c. bread crumbs
1/4 c. parmesan cheese
1/2 onion, chopped finely
garlic powder, salt, pepper
1 egg
3/4 c. milk

Mix all ingredients in bowl and mix with hands. In pan, heat some olive oil and sear each meatball on each side. Put in crockpot when done. I had to do mine in batches. Then add sauce on top.

Sauce:
Jar tomato sauce or favorite spaghetti sauce
lots of cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
jar of mushrooms, drained

After you sear all meatballs in pan, add cherry tomatoes and cook for a few minutes. Transfer on top on meatballs in crockpot and add mushrooms also. Add sauce. Cook on low for 3-4 hours. You can serve with pasta, spaghetti squash, or just by themselves.

Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Burgers

2 lb. ground beef
4 oz. cream cheese
1 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
3 jalapenos, seeded and chopped finely
bacon
buns
condiments of choice

Microwave cream cheese until soft. Stir in cheese and jalapenos. Divide meat into 8 portions. make a patty out of 4 of the ground beef portions. Put a big blob of cheese mixture on each patty. Put other 4 patties on top of cheese and seal in edges of burgers. I did mine in the cast iron skillet to save any cheese that oozed out instead of the grill. Sear both sides of burger on med high heat then put in 400 degree oven for about 8-10 minutes.
