I made this chili a couple weeks ago for home group for Frito Chili Pie...it was great!

Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 package McCormick Chili Seasoning Mix
1 can Kidney Beans (15 oz.) (don't drain)
1 can Petite Diced Tomatoes
1 can Tomato Sauce (8 oz.)
chopped onion

Directions:
1. Cook ground beef and onion in skillet.
2. Stir in the rest of the ingredients.
3. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium/low and simmer for about 10 minutes (covered). Stir as needed.
4. Serve over Fritos with the fixin' or eat it by itself!

*It was really delicious!! :)
This serves about 5. For home group I doubled it.

Chess Cookie Bars

This is a recipe I got from Susanne Miller. It is super simple and really yummy!

First Layer Ingredients:
1 pkg. Duncan Hines yellow cake mix
1 egg, sl. beaten
1 stick butter or margarine, softened

Second Layer Ingredients:
1 pkg. 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 box powdered sugar (16 oz box)
2 eggs, sl. beaten
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine cake mix, 1 egg, and butter. Beat until together and press into a 9 x 13 dish.

Mix remaining ingredients and spread over top.

Bake for 45-50 minutes or until slightly brown. (Susanne suggested to be sure to keep an eye on them, as they can burn on the bottom.)

Let cool for 1-2 hours and cut into squares.
