Taco Soup

This is a great recipe and it's easy to double when you need to feed a group. We eat it with tortilla chips, but I've seen a lot of people eat it with cornbread as well.

Ingredients:
Onion (sometimes I just use onion flakes to taste)
1 lb. hamburger meat
1 package taco seasoning
1 package Ranch Dressing mix
1 can Ranch Style beans
1 can Rotel
1 can Diced Tomatoes
1 can Corn
1 can Homany
1 can Water

Brown ground beef and drain. Add all other ingredients and heat.

Cinnamon Apple Coffee Cake

Upside Down Cinnamon Apple Coffee Cake
Ingredients:
1 can apple pie filling
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tube Cinnamon Rolls (I used Pillsbury 8 count)
2 tbsp. butter, melted
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

Mix together apple pie filling and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon.  Spread a thin layer of the filling onto the bottom of a well greased, 9-in. pie pan.  Set the remaining filling aside.
Now, separate the cinnamon roll dough and cut each roll into quarters.
Place the quartered rolls into a large bowl and add remaining apple pie filling.   In a separate bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar.  Mix well and add to the cinnamon roll/apple filling mixture.  Toss gently to combine.
Now spoon the cinnamon roll mixture over the layer of apples in the pie pan.
Bake at 350 for about 28-32 minutes or until a deep, golden brown. 
Cool for about 5 minutes and then you are supposed to invert onto a serving platter. I didn't invert as you can see in my pic above. I just left it as is. It was still great and looked great!
Now remove the lid from the frosting container and microwave for about 10-15 seconds or until it’s a drizzling consistency.  Then drizzle over the warm coffee cake.

If you like apple pie, you'll like this. I thought it was GREAT, and my dad said it was good too! Colt's not big on the apples so he wasn't a big fan though!
