Green Bean Casserole Version II

Thanks teh mom

One onion diced and sautéed down with 1/8 of a pkg of bacon (diced).
Two cans of green beans (rinsed real well to get rid of can taste).
Sprinkle with about one tablespoon season all salt.

Cook the sautéed onion/bacon and green beans down for about three hours on simmer. Add in one can of cream of mushroom soup. Put into casserole dish and bake for 30 min on about 350 degrees. Top off with French's french fried onions (can) and bake an additional five minutes (until onions brown). Serve. Yummy. Can be made ahead of time, just leave the onions off of the top until you heat thru, then add to brown.

Ingredients 1 pound ground beef, browned

1 small onion, diced
1 (32 ounce) package frozen potato rounds
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 15 oz can green beans, drained

DirectionsPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, cheese, and mushroom soup. Combine this mixture with the green beans, ground beef and diced onion. Place in the casserole and arrange the tater tots on top

Bake in the 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 45 to 60 minutes.

(This baking time seems awfully long for the potatoes to be on top and not burn. Maybe the frozen tater tots were mixed in before baking and since we seldom got tater tots at home because they were expensive and were served on their own as a special treat they just seemed to assume the importance of being on top to me. This was a casserole served by my BFF's mom when we had a sleepover. I thought they were rich to be able to serve this.)

Oatmeal Raspberry Bar Cookies
Thanks Honeylioness!

1/2 C room-temperature butter
1/2 C light-brown sugar
1 C flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1 C rolled oats
3/4-1 C raspberry jam (the original recipe calls for seedless - but I use homemade with seeds and it is just as good)

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8" square pan, line with foil, then butter the foil.

Mix together all ingredients except for the jam.

Press 2 cups of the mixture into the bottom of the pan.

Spread jam to within 1/4" of the edge. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the top and lightly press into the jam.

Bake 35-40 minutes and allow to cool on a wire rack before cutting.
