Southern Biscuits & Gravy

*This recipe comes from my old bishop. One of his kids is a great friend of mine and we used to hang out at his house all the time. This was one of the recipes that I loved getting at his house. So fast and easy!

You'll Need:

-2 1/2 c. flour

-1/4 c. sugar

-1 1/2 tbs. baking powder

-3/4 c. cold margarine

-1 c. cold milk

DIRECTIONS:

-*Cut the top three ingredients in with a pastry cutter (I don't have one, a potatoe masher works great too, or you can do it the old fashioned way and use two knifes) with 3/4 c. of cold margarine. Do this until the margarine is the size of peas.

-Add 1 c. cold milk.

-Hand stir till just mixed.

-Grease a muffin pan will and fill cups till 3/4 full.

-Bake 15-20 min at 400 degrees.

**I used some frozen gravy I had from the "farmhouse chicken dinner" a while back.

Goulash

*This recipe came to my mind when I saw snow outside!! I'm not ready for snow!! This isn't the traditional goulash you usually see. It's super simple and some people call is "tomato-mac" I grew up calling it goulash, so I'm sticking to it! :) It warms you to the bone on those chilly days and is super easy and cheap to make!

You'll Need:
-1/2 lb. hamburger=$free (sort of/not really, paid for a whole cow last year, using the last of it now-so I guess it could go under "pre-paid meat")

-1 small onion=$free from garden

-1 bottle of bottled tomato juice (or 2 cans of stewed tomatoes-whatever you like)= $free from garden

-1/2 box of elbow noodles=$.50 (bought box on sale for $1)

-Salt and Pepper to taste.

total=$.50 (still if you had to pay for meat and tomatoes, this meal is well under $5 for 4 servings)

DIRECTIONS:

-Cook hamburger in skillet with onion and seasoning salt. (I usually cook a full lb. of meat and then save 1/2 for the next nights meal-easy prep!)

-Cook noodles according to directions on box.

-Drain noodles, and combine with meat and tomato sauce.

-Season with salt and pepper.

*my hubby likes to melt cheese on the top. It's pretty good. I like to dunk a huge hunk of bread into it. but that's just me. :)
