Delicious Homemade Spaghetti O's. So much better than those canned Spaghetti O's! Kids young and old will love this! Enjoy!

2, 28 Ounce cans of Tomato Sauce

1, 12 Ounce Can Tomato Paste

1 Box Ditalini Pasta 1 Pound Box

1 TBS each Paprika, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder

1 TBS Honey Optional but it does help give this that Spaghetti flavor

3 to 4 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese, I use Mild Cheddar and used the 4 Cups

1 Cup of Milk or more to suit your taste

1 Cup Water or more if you want a thinner sauce

4 Tablespoons Butter

Cook pasta according to package directions for al dente. You want firm pasta not soft.  Drain well. In a large pot stir together the sauce, the tomato paste and seasoning. Cook and stir until bubbling. Now stir in the honey, milk, and water, Cook and stir until bubbling. Now add the cheese and stir until melted and well blended. Once it is hot and bubbling add the cooked pasta. Stir well and cook until heated. Ladle into bowls. Makes  about 8 servings. I tripled the recipe and made it in my electric roast pan! It served about 40 servings, and was a success! Kids young and old loved it! ENJOY!

Fried Apples Cracker Barrel Style but made in the Crock Pot!

                                                                                

The aroma fills your house and once done, oh my, warm apple goodness that can't be beat! These go great with any meat but works as a dessert too!

15 Large Apples peeled and sliced. I used Honey Crisp. I put my slices right into a bowl with 2 Tablespoons of Lemon Juice to prevent browning. Just stir each time you add more sliced apples. 

3 Tablespoons Cinnamon

1 Teaspoon Ginger

1 and 1/2 Cups Dark Brown Sugar

2 Tablespoons Cornstarch

3/4 Cup Melted Butter use Salted Butter

2 Teaspoons Vanilla

1/2 Cup Apple Cider or Juice, I used Cider

Heat Crock Pot to High then spray with cooking spray. 

Scoop apples out of the lemon juice and put right into the crock pot. Stir all your dry ingredients together until combined well.  Sprinkle this over the apples and stir to make sure each slices is coated. Now pour over the apple mixture the melted butter, cider and vanilla, stir well to be sure it is mixed well. Cook on high 3 to 4 hours, mine was perfect at 4 hours!  Apple Perfection! Serve hot as a side with beef, pork, ham, turkey, chicken, sausage or as dessert with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
