Molly Hogans Recipes

FUNERAL HOTDISH

Steps:

• Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes, noodles and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in the peas (if they're frozen, they'll thaw pretty much immediately when stirred in). Season with salt and pepper. Top with cheese and herbs, if desired.

MONSTER COOKIE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line a 9-inch square metal pan with parchment paper that comes up on two sides to give you little wings.
• In a medium bowl, combine the oats, coconut, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, brown sugar, butter and granulated sugar until combined and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each. Add the vanilla. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the oat mixture until combined, then fold in the peanuts and chocolate-coated candies. Press into the baking pan. Press a few additional chocolate-coated candies into the top.
• Bake until browned around the edges; begin checking for doneness at 28 minutes. Let cool in the pan completely, then carefully lift out of the pan and use a sharp serrated knife to slice into bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days.
