Diner Cakes

Have you ever been to a small town diner or cafe and had their pancakes?  You know the ones the fill you up to your toes?!  In these parts, they're always dense, thick, fluffy rounds of yumminess!  Finally, after many failed test batches where the pancakes either spread out too much or fell apart as soon as the syrup hit, I've finally come to the recipe!

Enjoy!

Diner Cakes

1 1/2 Cups Flour
3 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
1 Tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Sugar
1 1/4 Cup Milk
1 Egg
3 Tbsp Butter, melted

In large bowl, whisk (sift) together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.  Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture and pour in milk, egg, and melted butter - whisk until smooth.  Heat a griddle to 375 degrees or large pan on medium-high heat.  Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.  Once the cake starts to bubble, flip.  Serve and enjoy!

Dorito Hotdish

This dish is not light and therefore, definitely not diet friendly, but it sure does fill you up in the yummiest way!  Yummy with ground beef or shredded chicken (approximately 2 cups), use whatever cheese your heart desires (I like cheddar), and make it as mild or spicy as your family prefers!

Enjoy!

Dorito Hotdish

1 lb Hamburger, browned & drained
2 Cups Shredded Cheese
1 Can Rotel Tomatoes with Chilies (mild)
1 Can Cream of Chicken Soup
1 Can Black Beans, drained
1 Can Corn, drained
1/2 Cup Milk
1/2 Cup Sour Cream
1/2 Packet Taco Seasoning
1 Bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos, crushed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In large bowl, mix together hamburger, 1 cup cheese, Rotel, soup, beans, corn, milk, sour cream, and taco seasoning.  Spray your baking dish (I use a 9x13 glass pan), take half of the crushed Doritos and spread on the bottom, then layer with 1/2 of the meat mixture, repeat Dorito's and meat mixture, top with remaining 1 cup of cheese.  Cover and bake for 35 minutes, then uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes or until nice and bubbly.
