Chili Cups

This is my variation of Chili Cups. The original recipe can be found at $5 Dinners.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. ground beef
• can of tomato sauce, I believe it's 16 oz. its the next size up from 10 oz. ?
• packet of chili seasoning
• 1 bx Jiffy cornbread mix
• 1/2 c. milk
• 1 egg

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Brown meat & drain.
• Add chili seasoning & tomato sauce. Simmer for 7-10 minutes.
• Mix Jiffy cornbread mix, milk & egg together.
• Using a muffin tin, put one spoonful of chili mixture to each cup. I use a 12 cup tin.
• Then put a spoonful of the cornbread mixture on top of each, leaving a small space at the top.
• Bake for 25 minutes.
• Let sit for about 5 minutes before scooping out.
• The little bit of sweet taste from the cornbread is perfect!
• I usually have a bit of chili left, so the Hubby uses it for extra on his plate.
• Any other chili left over can be refrigerated and used for chili dogs the next night!

Homemade Salisbury Steaks

I got this recipe from a friend on CafeMom. I have made it several times and the whole family LOVES IT!
I pair it up with garlic mashed potatoes, corn (or corn on the cob) and rolls.

• 3/4 to 1 whole sleeve of crackers, crushed (I used the round ones)
• 1/2 t. salt
• pepper
• 1/2 c. water
• 10 1/2 oz. can of beef gravy

Procedure:

• Mix beef with crackers, egg, salt and pepper in a bowl.
• Form patties, set aside.
• Combine water & gravy. Put in skillet over medium heat to warm.
• Then add meat patties.
• Cover & SIMMER (very important that you turn it down to simmer) for 30 minutes, turning over half way through.
