I made these recently, except for the butter, oats and krispies I didn’t even measure, the amounts listed are close to what I used though, I used large flake oats, quick cooking should work also

1 1/2 cups large flake oats

1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal

1 tablespoons dry skim milk powder, if you don’t have any then you can omit

1/4 cup chopped salted peanuts

2 tablespoons butter

1/3 cup honey

1/4 cup corn syrup

1/3 cup brown sugar, reduce slightly for less sweeter taste (I have a sweet tooth)

1/4 to 1/3 cup peanut butter, depending on how much PB flavor you want

1 teaspoon vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS:———————————————-

In a large bowl combine oats with the next 3 dry ingredients.

In a small saucepan combine honey, corn syrup and brown sugar; bring to a boil stirring constantly (be careful this boils high). Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes stirring frequentely. Stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth and combined; immediately pour over the oat mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.

Transfer to a greased 11 x 7-inch pan.  Using slightly wet hands, press down mixture in the pan.

Allow to cool, then cut into bars.

This is just as good if not better that the ones made in muffin tins and will also work using this using melted butter in place of the pan drippings of coarse  the pan drippings have better flavor,  the complete batter is baked in one pan then sliced into eight pieces

Servings 8

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 large eggs, room temperature

3/4 cup water, room temperature

1/2 cup beef pan drippings (or can use melted butter)

3/4 cup milk, room temperature

INSTRUCTIONS:——————————————-

Mix the flour and salt together in a medium bowl.

Make a well in the middle of the flour; add in milk and whisk until smooth.

Add in eggs and beat until blended.

Add in the water and continue beating until the mixture is light and frothy.

Set the mixture aside for about 1 hour (or you may cover and refrigerate overnight, if the batter has been refrigerated then it must come down to room temperature before using).

When your roast beef is ready to come out of the oven, get ready to use the prepared batter.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (allow to heat for 10 minutes, the oven must be hot).

Pour 1/2 cup roast beef drippings (or melted butter) into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.

Place the pan in the oven until the drippings in the pan sizzle.

Pour the prepared batter over the hot drippings and bake for 30 minutes (or until the sides have risen and are golden brown (DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR WHILE BAKING!).

Slice into 8 equal pieces and serve immediately.

If you don’t mind using canned soup (and I sure don’t!) this is quick easy and very tasty! I have also made this using  small cooked meatballs instead of the cooked sausage meat and let them simmer in the soup, both are great!

Since the dry packaged rice mix has lots of sodium I recommend using low-sodium condensed soup and use only half a package of the dry rice mix or your soup will be to thick, the soup thickens after  sitting

 I keep cooked bulk sausage in my freezer to have ready for recipes (such as this one!)

Servings 4

INGREDIENTS:

1 (10-3/4 ounce) can condensed low-sodium cream of mushroom soup, undiluted

1 (10-3/4 ounce) can condensed low sodium cream of chicken soup, undiluted

2 cans half and half cream or full-fat milk (use the cans from the soup)

cooked crumbed sausage meat (use as much as you like)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 (133 gram) package Knorr Side Kicks (Harvet Chicken flavor)

1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, or to taste

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:————————————————

In a medium saucepan whisk both soups with the half and half cream until smooth and combined; add in garlic powder, cooked sausage,  half a package of the dry rice mix and black pepper; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.

Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Mix in Parmesan cheese at the end and more pepper if needed.
