BBQ Sauce 101

BBQ Sauce 101 by myra byanka

This is a delicious on its own basic bbq sauce that you can easily tweak. To experiment, divide it in 4 parts, and add different ingredients to each part. I frequently make this basic sauce and just add a 1/2 cup of chipotle in adobo sauce to it. Yum!

Easy Cheesy Beef Pasta Casserole

Easy Cheesy Beef Pasta Casserole by myra byanka

Spaghetti sauce mixed with cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, ground beef, and pasta. Works with ground Italian sausage, or turkey, too. Why not just prepare Hamburger Helper? Because this recipe is tastier, and you can go organic with it.

Chuckwagon Cornbread

Chuckwagon Cornbread by myra byanka

Bake this recipe in a baking pan or skillet. Add a bit more sugar, if you have a sweet tooth. If presentation isn't important, I usually pour the batter into an aluminum-lined pan for easy cleanup. To store leftovers, wrap in plastic, then foil, and refrigerate. This cornbread is very moist, so let cool a bit before slicing.
