Childhood Favorites!

A couple of childhood favorite recipes for you today...well, that's the way I remember it. 
I grew up enjoying taco salad, now I love making it for my family...One day I was excited about a friend making taco salad for a church potluck.  She used Italian dressing!  I had never heard of that.  I grew up with a different kind of "dressing."   Here we go...

Taco Salad
1/2 pound ground beef
Brown and drain.
ADD:
1/2 cup chopped onion
garlic seasoning
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. chili powder
Saute together.
In a double boiler:
Melt 8 oz. Velveeta cheese. Add one can Ro-tel tomatoes.

Cut up a head of lettuce and one large tomato in a large bowl.  Add meat and mix lightly.  Add crushed tortilla chips (one bag) and toss.  Stir in hot cheese mixture.  Serve immediately.

For dessert you could try...
Lemon Jello Cake
Dissolve 1 pkg. lemon jello in 3/4 cup hot water.  Add 3/4 cup vegetable oil.  Add 1 box yellow cake mix.  Add 4 eggs, one at a time-beat well.  Add 1 teaspoon lemon extract.

Grease and flour a cake pan. I use a pan like the one pictured above.   Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.  When cake is cool, top with the
 lemon glaze.
1 cup sifted confectioner's sugar
1 tsp. lemon juice
2 tbl. milk

I hope you enjoy these.
