Hormel Chili Recipe

This recipe is ALWAYS a crowd pleaser and always gets a double thumbs up from the men!
Enjoy!  My kids even eat this for lunch sometimes.


In our house, we call this CHILI Dip

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) can hormel chili without beans
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• 1 (16 ounce) package shredded mild cheddar cheese or sharp cheddar cheese
• nacho chips or Frito Scoops, to serve

Directions

1. Microwave cream cheese for 1 minute in 12" x 12" pyrex dish or glass pie dish.

2. Remove and spread cream cheese to cover bottom of dish.

3. Next pour the hormel chili on top of the cream cheese.

4. Lastly, layer with the shredded cheddar cheese.  I prefer to use Monteray Jack with Jalapenos.

5. Microwave for 3 minutes or until cheese has melted.

6. Serve with nacho chips or scoop frito's

Amish Baked Oatmeal - Terri style

Here is my recipe for Amish Baked Oatmeal   I had purchased it at an Amish Market in Lancaster last summer and was hooked so I researched recipes, found one on TasteofHome.com and it has since been modified by me to meet my family of 5's tastes.  Everyone who visits and tastes it LOVES it!!!   My teenagers now choose eating this for breakfast over having a bowl of cereal before school in the morning.  It reheats nicely in the microwave so you can make it and have it for a few days in a row. 

It is now my families first choice as a morning meal (if there's any left) for breakfast every day!  I hope you like it too! 

If you never have had it:  Think - oatmeal cookie but more moist and thick and warm - of course!

AMISH BAKED OATMEAL

3 cups of quick-cooking oats

1/2 cup of sugar (or less if you add chocolate chips)

1 cup of Milk (skim is fine)

*1/4 cup of butter, melted

1/4 cup of canola oil

3 eggs

2 teaspoons of baking powder

2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

1 teaspoon of cinnamon 

Optional:  1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (HERSHEY's, of course) or any dried fruit you might have home or would enjoy in your regular oatmeal - dried cherries, cranberries, blueberries, etc.

Cooking instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Combine all the ingredients, mix well.  Spread evenly into a buttered or greased 8X8 baking pan.  Can use a 9x13 but check the baking time and bake it on the low end of the time.  Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.  

Spoon into bowls, top with milk (if you like it that way!) or fresh fruit or brown sugar, if desired.  

ENJOY!

YIELD:  about 10 servings

* As long as there is 1/2 cup of oil or melted butter (combined) in this recipe it works.  I try to cut back on butter usage and add canola since it has better health benefits but you can use all butter - which would mean 1/2 cup melted and omit the oil.  It does taste great with all butter.  I've made it both ways.  I have NOT made it with all oil in the recipe
