1 each: red and green apple; finely chopped (2 cups)
1-8oz cream cheese; softened

Preheat oven to 375. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in medium bowl. Add apples and toss to coat. Set aside. Mix cream cheese and cheddar in medium bowl. Add sour cream, stir until well blended. Spread into 9 inch pie plate; top with apples. Bake 20 mins.

These potatoes are delicious! The ingredients are rough estimates because I don't measure for this recipe, add as much or as little as you want.

1-2 tbsp oil
salt/pepper
1-2 tbsp Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb seasoning
1/2 tbsp Mrs. Dash Spicy seasoning
Heat oven to 450. Put potatoes in a bowl and drizzle them with oil, then add your seasonings. Toss to coat. Spray or lightly grease cookie sheet and pour on potatoes. Bake for 30 minutes, taking them out to stir every 10 minutes.
Crock Pot Beef Roast
Super simple recipe but one of our family favorites!
*2-4 lb beef roast (chuck roast, sirloin roast, etc)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup water
1 packet dry onion soup
GRAVY
1/2 cup cold water
1/4 cup flour
Place roast in crock pot. Mix together cream of mushroom soup, water and dry onion soup. Pour over roast. Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours.
GRAVY
Mix together water and flour until well blended. Add to crock pot after you take the roast out, leaving all the liquids in crock pot. Turn crock pot on high and let cook for a few minutes.
*I usually buy a 2-4 lb roast and we are a family of 4. The larger you buy the more leftovers you have, I have lots of recipes for leftover roast beef :)
