Hungry Jack Casserole

Meat Mixture:
1 lb. ground beef
chopped onion
2 T. brown sugar
1 1/2 T. lemon juice
1 1/2 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 can pork and beans
salt & pepper
1/2 c. cheddar cheese, shredded

Biscuit Mixture:
1 c. self-rising flour (substitute by placing 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup, add all-purpose flour to measure 1 cup)
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Brown ground beef and onion. Add brown sugar, lemon juice, worcestershire and beans. Add salt & pepper to taste. Transfer mixture to casserole dish.
 
In a small bowl, combine the flour and cheese. Stir in milk and mayo just until moistened. Drop biscuit mixture onto meat mixture. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.

Sprinkle with shredded cheese and bake for another 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.

Audrey's little note: this is Mason's ALL-TIME favorite dish! (You can use a tube of Pillsbury Grands Flaky biscuits instead of the drop biscuits if you wish--just cut them in half and layer them on top of the meat mixture.)

Yummy Cauliflower

1 head cauliflower
butter
salt & pepper

Remove greens from cauliflower & rinse. Spread cauliflower with butter, salt & pepper to taste, then wrap in plastic wrap. Place in a microwaveable bowl & cook on high for @ 5 minutes. Check to see if vegetable is done--just poke it, if it gives, it's perfect. You can cook for another couple minutes, one at a time until it reaches desired doneness. Remove plastic wrap and serve.
