So Mushshroom for New Recipes

Most people have a few recipes that they consider their standbys. The ingredients are always on hand, the recipe is in their heads rather than on a card, and the whole family enjoys it. I reached out to friends and family to get their favorite standbys and here is the list...
Molten Lava Cake (by Leah)

4sq bakers chocolate (I use like 1/2 cup chocolate chips or a little less)
1/2 c butter
1 C powdered sugar
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
6 TBSP flour
Preheat oven to 425
Butter or spray with pam 4 cups/bowls/tins/ramekins

Microwave chocolate and butter high for 1 minute. Stir with wire wisk until all melted. Add sugar and blend. Add eggs and yolks and blend. Add flour. Blend. Bake 13-14 minutes. (I usually do like 18 minutes but check on them)
**Note we used pot pie tins and there was not much lava. The bowls need to be about 3 inches deep and 2 1/2 inches around, so check on your cakes to get the right amount of lava. We could have split them, but we were worried about someone having more lava than the other! Don't worry the cake part was still devoured without the lava.

Chicken Chimichanga’s (by Toni)

2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I just use 2 large breasts)
Oil
Salt and pepper
1 onion, chopped (I only use ½ an onion chopped kinda small)
1 tsp Ancho chili powder or any chilli powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 small can of diced green chili peppers
1/2 cup hot pepper sauce (I use tapatillo)

Season the chicken with salt and pepper and brown in a skillet with a little oil. Transfer the chicken to your crock pot.

Mix the onion, chili powder, garlic powder, green chilies and hot sauce in a bowl. Spoon mixture over meat. Carefully pour water down the side of the cooker until the chicken is about half covered.

Cover and cook on high for 3 hours, reduce heat to low and cook another 3-4 hours. Shred the chicken and allow to come to room temperature. Divide among quart size freezer bags (about 2 cups of chicken per bag). Freeze what you aren’t using because it makes a lot even with just 2 breasts. Let your chicken get pretty close to room temp before you wrap them or your tortillas will fall apart.
Serving Instructions
1. For serving day you will need 1 cup of melted butter, flour tortillas, grated cheddar cheese, lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, avocado, etc.
2. Melt butter, dip both sides of a tortilla in the butter and allow some of the excess to drip off. Mound 1/3 c to 1/2 c of chicken in the middle of the tortilla. Fold envelope style and place seam side down in an 9" x 13" baking dish. Bake at 500 degrees for 15 minutes. Once 10 minutes has passed top with cheese and return to the oven to melt for the remaining 5 minutes..
3. Top the finish chimichangas with lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, etc.

Beefy Cornbread Casserole (by Lindsey out of Deanne's cookbook)

1 pound ground beef, browned and drained
1 medium onion, chopped (smaller might be better if you are not an onion fan)
1 can tomato soup
1 can whole kernel corn, drained (used mixed vegitables once and wasn't as good)
1 to 2 tablespoons chili powder (used 1 tablespoon and was bland for my liking, 1 1/2 was spicy for Josh)
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup water

Topping:
1 pouch cornbread mix
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter or margerine, melted
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese (forgot both times to add it and it still tasted great)

Place beef and onion in greased 3 to 4 1/2 quart slow cooker. Stir in soup, corn, chili powder, salt and warm.

In seperate bowl, mix cornbread mix, egg, butter, and milk together. Spread batter evenly over the top of the meat mixture. Cover and cook on low heat for 5-6 hours or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Sprinkle cheese over top for last 15 minutes of cooking, if desired. Makes 6-8 servings. This recipe can easily be doubled for 6-7 quart slow cooker.
(made in large slow cooker and it took an hour and a half, did it in a smaller one and it took 4 hours.)
