I love these shrimp bacon bites..

 

Shrimp Bacon Bites:

 

1 cup cleaned cooked shrimp-about 18- like to use fresh shrimp..can buy them at Albertson's...we bought 2 lbs. of fresh shrimp at Albertson's

3 bunches garlic; slivered

2 glass jars homemade chili sauce that you can buy at Albertson's

2 packages bacon

 

Frozen bacon is alot easier to cut and it doesn't take long for it to thaw out.

 

Mix shrimp and garlic; pour chili sauce over mixture. Cover and refrigerate, stirring occasionally; several hours. I needed it sooner so I refrigerated it for 2 hours or so.

 

***You can also buy a package of shrimp seasoning in the fresh meat dept. at Albertson's and I sprinkled that over the shrimp, then mixed in the garlic and chili sauce..then refrigerated it..etc.

Cut bacon slices into halves. Cook bacon until limp; drain. Wrap each shrimp in bacon piece; secure with wooden pick. I had some left over so I just put the rest on top of the shrimp.

 

Set oven control to broil and/or 550. Broil with tops 2 to 3 inches from heat until bacon is crisp.

 

**I fried the bacon, but, not completely and drained the grease..also patted the bacon with a paper towel. After I wrapped the shrimp in the bacon, I baked it in the oven at 550 for less than 10 minutes....just keep an eye on it.

 

 

Butterscotch Dessert=This is great too:)

 

Melt 1 stick of butter. Add 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9x13" pan and bake at 325 for 10 minutes. Cool crust. Whip together:

 

1-8 oz. pkg. cream cheese

1 cup powdered sugar

1 cup Cool Whip

 

Smear this carefully over crust; cool in refrigerator. HINT: Drop the cream cheese mixture all over the crust in teaspoons, then spread it gently or else the crust will end up being a crumbly mess. Cook 2 small packages of butterscotch or chocolate pudding..your choice..with 3 cups milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Pour this over the cream cheese layer. Cool and top with Cool Whip.

 

 

This is the only recipe that I will use for chili..it is great:)

 

 

Crockpot Chili-This Is Delicious:

 

1 package hamburger

1 package hot sausage-Farmer John

2 onions, diced

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 tablespoon pepper

3 cloves garlic, minced

2-14 1/2 oz. cans Del Monte diced tomatoes with zesty mild green chilies

1-30 oz. can Hunts chili beans, drained and rinsed

Sliced fresh mushrooms-use how much you want

Cut up celery-use how much you want in it

Chopped green peppers-use how much you want in it

Farmer John smoked sausage hot links sliced-I use alot of sausages

1-28 oz. can whole peeled tomatoes

 

Cook hamburger and sausage in a large skillet, drain grease. Add all of the above and the sausage hamburger mixture to the crockpot and stir well. I covered the top with more chili powder, stirred again and covered the top again with chili powder..we like hot and spicy foods. I have made this with and without the hot links. They are good both ways..but..we liked it more with the hot links. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Add jalapeno or cheddar cheese on top of chili when you put the chili in your bowl. Add crushed saltine crackers.

 

HORSERADISH DIPPING SAUCE: This is wonderful on Prime Rib

 

1/2 cup Sour cream

2 packages crescent rolls

1 8-oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened

1 cup Miracle Whip

2 teaspoons dill weed

1 pkg. Hidden Valley dressing

Assorted vegetables of your choice

Spread crescent rolls into a jelly roll pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes at 375. While the rolls are cooling, mix the Hidden Valley dressing, dill weed and mayonnaise together. Spread this mixture on cooled crust. Spread assorted vegetables on top of this mixture and gently pat into the crust. Top with grated cheese. Refrigerate until served.
