Sloppy joe cups

It has been a while since I have blogged but it has also been a while since I have cooked anything new.

Tonight was a new take on a old recipe. A while ago I made Sloppy Joe squares this is almost the same just a different thing done with the crusts.

Ingredients


1lb Ground beef
1 tbsp dried onion
1 tsp garlic
1 orange pepper chopped
1 tsp prepared yellow mustard
3/4 cup Ketchup
3 tsp brown sugar
water to thin out if needed
Pillsbury biscuits and/or crescent rolls

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Then take the biscuits out of the container and roll each one flat. Then press into a lightly greased muffin tin and up the sides to make a cup.  Place the pan into the heated oven for 2 min then press them down with a spoon to form a cup. Do this every 2 mins until golden brown. 

Remove them from the oven and the pan and let cool.

Brown the ground beef. Add other ingredients and then simmer for 10-15. and serve


This was a really nice way to do this.  Great for portion control. I also took the crescent rolls and cut them into smaller circles to use in a mini muffin pan which was great for my almost 3yr old. But they do cook much faster. My daughter loved that they were just her size. My 8 month old son liked them filled with yogurt.  These would also be great for a bbq or party.

Baby Teething cookies

Ingredients
2 tbs butter
1/2 C. Sugar
1 egg
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp water
1 1/2 C. Baby cereal


Cream butter sugar and egg. Add baking powder, salt, vanilla and water. Gradually mix in cereal. Roll out to about 1/2 inch and cut into shapes and Bake at 300 for 20-30 mins


This recipe has a fair bit of sugar but has alot less junk than most. I plan to make a different recipe of Teething cookies without sugar. I just couldnt find the recipe today. I will blog it as well. 

I used a mixture of 2 different kinds of cereal i used 1 cup mixed grains and 1/2 cup raspberry rice cereal. These taste really good and mash up really nice.
