Just reheat in the microwave. This sauce is great for ice cream sundaes, banana splits, brownies and cakes. I slice up bananas and eat them with this sauce poured over them.  If you are a chocoholic like me, you will love this sauce.

1/3 cup cocoa

3/4 cup white sugar

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons butter or margarine

1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring

 

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan.  Cook on top of stove until it boils, then cook about 3 more minutes stirring often.  Makes about 2 cups of hot fudge sauce.  Enjoy!

1 1/2 pounds ground beef

1 onion, chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilis

2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce

1 (13.25 ounce) can mushroom stems and pieces, drained

1 teaspoon minced garlic

3 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon sugar

Salt to taste

parmesan cheese, optional

 

Brown ground beef, onion, and green pepper.  Drain.  Add remaining ingredients except parmesan cheese and simmer about 45 minutes.  Serve over spaghetti cooked according to package directions.  Makes enough sauce for approximately 6 servings.  Can top with parmesan cheese.  Enjoy!

 

This could be made in the crockpot as well. Just brown your meat with your onions and peppers, then add to slow cooker.

I am always looking for recipes using bananas and apples and this one is a keeper. I added Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting but they are good without the frosting, too.

1/4 cup buttermilk

2 bananas, mashed

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons vanilla flavoring

2 medium apples, peeled and chopped

3/4 cup walnuts, chopped

 

Cream sugar and eggs with mixer; add oil, buttermilk, and bananas and continue mixing. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking soda, whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour and mix well.  Fold in vanilla, apples and walnuts with a spoon.  Spray a muffin pan with cooking spray or use cupcake papers.  Fill 1/2 to 3/4 full of muffin mixture.  Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 20 – 25 minutes.  Makes 18 to 20 muffins.  Enjoy!
