Cheesey Q's

This recipe just intrigued me, so I had to give it a shot.  It was good as dinner, but I also think it would make a great dip to bring to a party. The kids ate it, but I would say they didn't love it.  Make sure to put a splash of hot sauce on it!

Servings 6-8

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1-15 oz jar cheese whiz
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup water
1.4 cup brown sugar

Directions
Brown hamburger and onion; drain.  Add remaining ingredients and heat.  Serve on buns or with tortilla chips.

Rustic Chicken

Sometimes...well ok most of my free time, I spend searching for new recipes to try.  I have to say that I am pretty lucky to have a husband who is willing to try whatever I want to make. Of course that means, I doing the cooking.  When I found this one, chicken, artichokes, tomatoes and a crockpot I was sold immediatly.  It was very yummy!  I left the mushrooms out because the hubby does not like them.  Next time, I think I might throw some green olives into it.  PS- I know the picture makes it loook a little bland, but it was not.
