Mommys Surprise Recipes

MOM'S AMPED UP SNACK MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Stir together the cereal, cheese cracker chips, pretzels, peas, nut and ramen noodle pieces in a large bowl. Stir the reserved seasoning packet into the melted butter. Pour over the cereal mixture and toss to coat.
• Spread the mixture between the prepared baking sheets and bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Cool completely before serving, about 10 minutes.

MOMMY'S SURPRISE

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the onion, green pepper, and mushrooms. Drain off excess grease. Reduce heat to medium, and stir in the cream of mushroom soup. Mix in the Cheddar cheese until blended, then remove from heat.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop out the centers of the Kaiser rolls on both the top and bottom. Spoon the ground beef mixture into the rolls. Wrap each one in aluminum foil.
• Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the rolls are toasted.

EASY SURPRISE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 8-inch cake pans.
• Place the butter and sugar into a mixing bowl, and mash together with a wooden spoon until the mixture is creamy and thoroughly combined. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, and pour into the butter mixture. Stir until combined.
• Sift the flour and baking powder together in a bowl, and lightly stir into the butter mixture. Pour half the batter into each prepared cake pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a cake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing to finish cooling on wire racks.

MOM'S LEGENDARY STUFFED HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat. When hot, lightly oil the grate.
• Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add onions to the pan; cook and stir until bacon is browned, but not crisp and onion is soft. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Season to taste with black pepper.
• In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef and onion soup mix. Divide into 8 balls and then flatten into thin patties. Place a quarter of the bacon mixture onto each of four patties. Top with the remaining patties and press the edges together to seal.
• Grill the burgers for about 15 minutes, turning once, until well done. Serve on buns with your favorite condiments.
