1/2 -1 Whole container of Sliced Mushrooms
1/2 a Kielbasa or Other Sausage You Like

Cook the noodles until they are done, drain them, and mix them with some oil so the pasta doesn't stick to itself. Stir in all of the ingredients reserving 1/2 of the cheese. Top with the remaining cheese. Bake at 400 degrees until the cheese is bubbling. Remove from the oven and serve.

I recently made a roast in a crock pot. It turned out soooo good! I think this is what I did.

Ingredients: 

Pork Shoulder Roast

1/2 cup of water

1 chopped onion

Salt

Pepper

BBQ Sauce or a sauce of your choice

Buns

Pan seer the meet. Take a pan and turn the heat up to med high to high. Place the meat in the pan and cook it on both sides until it is brown. This will seal in the juices. 

Put the onions in the crock pot, then the water, finally the roast. Sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until fully cooked. 

Once the roast is cooked shred, put it on buns, top with your favorite sauce, and serve. 

You could serve this meal with potato salad, raw carrots and dip, and baked beans.

Mexican Black Bean Dip - Kristi Original

I came up with this recipe when I looked in my cupboard and found a can of seasoned black beans and a can of diced tomatoes and chilis. It's similar to Stacie Hauer's dip, but a little different based on what I had on hand.

Mix Together and Enjoy

1 Can Seasoned Black Beans
1 Can Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilis (Drained)
2 Avocados Diced
1 Tomato Diced
1/8 Onion Finely Diced
1/2 Cup Frozen Corn (More if you want)
1 Jar of Diced Black Olives Infused with Jalapenos
1/4 Red Pepper Finely Chopped

Season Accordingly
Seasoning Salt
Garlic (I used Garlic Garlic from Tastefully Simple but you could use garlic cloves or garlic powder)
Fiesta Party Mix - Tastefully Simple (You could use cayenne pepper instead. Maybe some Cumin)
Lime Juice
