Funnel Cake

2 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 Eggs
1 1/2 cups Milk

Powdered Sugar as a Garnish!

Combine all ingredients. Heat cooking oil in deep skillet until very hot. Put batter into funnel; be sure to cover spout with one finger. Using caution, hold funnel over hot oil, release some batter in circular motions, then crisscrossing motions, to form one funnel cake. The funnel cake will rise quickly and expand, so be careful how much batter you use until you get a feel for cooking it. Cook to light golden brown on both sides, then remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve while still warm.

1 cup of salsa

1 package of taco seasoning

1 package of ranch seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1 lb. of ground beef

1 cup of shredded cheese (optional)

1 can of diced olives (optional)

Brown the ground beef first and add the taco seasoning to the meat when you cook it.  I usually drain the corn and beans but not the tomatoes.  Then add the corn, tomatoes, beans, chilies, salsa and ranch seasoning.  Add olives too if you are using them.  Cook in a 9x13 pan in the oven at 350 degrees for about 30 – 45 minutes.  Add cheese on top when done!  You can also add sour cream if you like it.

(You can also cook this recipe in a crock pot too!  Don’t drain anything if you use the crock pot so it won’t dry out!)  This is great to eat with chips or tortillas!
