First Annual Aces High Recipe Swap

Bluberry's post is actually inappropriate for this thread considering hungry people with appetites will be severely affected in a negative way.

Yeah me too - I remember adding a pretzel dip I make - btw - is 68Rox still a board member?

anyway, don't remember where I got this from, not my own concoction, but the kids and I love it
Enjoy :

Taco Bake
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
(sometimes I brown up ground chicken or turkey and mix 1/2 and 1/2 beef and other-- kids know and give me that dirty look     )
1 packet taco seasoning
* water as called for on back of seasoning packet
3 or 4 large flour tortillas (8-inch size)
1/2 cup Salsa
1 1/2-2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
Directions:
Brown and crumble ground beef. Drain excess grease.
Add in taco seasoning and water (following directions on back of seasoning packet).
Once the taco meat is ready, turn off heat and add in 1/2 cup salsa
Give it a good stir until thoroughly combined.
Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
Spray an 8-inch round baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Layer the bottom of the pan with a flour tortilla.
Now add about 1/3 of the ground beef taco filling on the first layer.
Then add 1/3 of the shredded cheese.
Continue until you are done with all the layers: another tortilla, more taco mixture, more cheese.
Bake at 350F degrees for about 15-20 minutes.
Until cheese is melted and edges are slightly golden brown.
Allow to cool for a couple of minutes.
Then slice and serve.
I like mine with some sour cream and diced tomatoes on top.

Thanks for the idea! We just had some and it was great, even heavily modified according to what we had in the cupboard.

Now that it's almost finished and the Spring Meeting participants are obviously happily burping, here's my BBQ sauce:

all measures are approximate...

1 onion +
2 garlic cloves sauteed

1 cup of prepared mustard
3/4 cup of apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup of brown sugar
ginger root, the size of the little finger, grated
2 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tsp white pepper
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp soy sauce
smoked salt

Let the sauce simmer for about half an hour or more until the onions have melted.

Works well with pork neck, first as marinade and then in the oven as glaze. Cook slowly in a mild temperature.
