Mixed Berry Crumble

4 c. blackberries
3/4 c. all-purpose flour
2/3 c. unpacked light brown sugar
1 stick butter melted

Preheat oven to 350*
Place berries in a medium bowl, combine flour and sugar. Remove 3 tablespoons of flour mixture and gently toss with berries. Place berries in an 8 inch square pan.

To make topping, add melted butter to remaining flour mixture, combine well. Crumble little bits of topping over berries. Bake until berries just start to bubble, about 35-40 min.

I use blackberries but you can use blueberries and raspberries too. I also put in a 1/2 c. of oatmeal. It is so yummy and easy!

Easy Potluck Beef and Noodle Bake

I found this recipe here, but altered it some for my family.

Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons celery salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 cups fine noodles, about 4 ounces (uncooked) - I use thin spaghetti or regular spaghetti broken into about 1 inch pieces
1 can (about 15 ounces) cream-style corn
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup
1 soup can of water

Preparation:

In a skillet, brown ground beef, breaking up into chunks. Drain off grease; stir in onion powder, garlic powder, celery salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes. Spoon mixture into a greased 2-quart baking dish. Top with the uncooked noodles. Combine corn, soup, and water in a saucepan or microwave safe bowl. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, or microwave stirring every minute or so. Pour sauce over noodles; stir gently so sauce will flow down to bottom and cover ingredients evenly. Cover dish and bake at 350° for 45 to 60 minutes, until noodles are tender.
