Spanish Rice
(from Lisa Johnson)

3 8oz cans of tomato sauce
2 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/4 cup minute rice

Brown hamburger with onion and green pepper.  Add salt and pepper.  Put hamburger into 9x13 baking pan.  Mix remaining ingredients and pour over hamburger mixture.  Bake, covered, for 45 minutes at 350.  Stir a couple of times during baking and replace cover.

Dulce de Leche

The easiest treat you'll ever make!

INGREDIENT: (only one)
Sweetened condensed milk

Place 1-3 cans of sweetened condensed milk (sealed) in a crockpot.  Cover with water, making sure there is about 1 inch of water over the top of the cans.  Turn crockpot to low and cook for 8 hours.  Remove cans and allow to cool before opening.  Once cool, open cans, stir caramel until smooth, and enjoy! 

We usually use it as a fruit dip (especially with cold apples) or on top of ice cream.  I'm sure it would be good as a filling in cupcakes or in hot chocolate as well!
