This is a very good hearty filling stew. The men in the family especially love it. You can substitute whatever ground meat you have on hand. This makes alot. If your family is small or your kettle is too small, you can easily cut recipe in half.

Connoisseur's Chocolate Sauce
Very Good 4.0/5

This isn't your Hershey's syrup! Eating a spoonful of this is like indulging in liquid fudge, without it's super-gritty nature. Note the two major differences in this recipe from most other "sweet" ones - no vanilla, and salted butter! Both make this nothing but the best, because after all everything's better with buttah! Makes 26 two-tbsp servings.

Wildly Addictive Peanut Butter Granola
Very Good 4.3/5

A store near my daughter's house in California has peanut butter granola in the bulk food section. But I couldn't find it anywhere near my house in Illinois, so I found this recipe online and made my own. Now I'm glad I couldn't find it at the store. It's cheaper and I can control the ingredients that are used.
