Chocolate Caramel Surprise & 7 Layer Seasoned Bean Soup

Yesterday for my hubby's sweet tooth I made the Chocolate Caramel Surprise.  Here are directions for how to make this delicious dessert

I drizzled it with some chocolate syrup to make a beautifully plated treat!  YUM!

HERE is where you can get it!

Meanwhile all day I had the 7 Layer Seasoned Bean Soup cooking in the crock pot.  This was so good with dinner!  I have plenty left over for lunches and even froze additional portions for when my youngest comes to visit!  I thought I had made a blog for how to make this already but did not before. It is super easy! Will do a full blog for it next time.

                              

Here is what you get!  A very nice large portion of each bean!

Here it is all ready to eat (I just added a little shredded cheese to the top)

~ Green Split Pea Soup ~

I've been meaning to try this for a while!

All the ingredients are in the soup mix except for 10 cups of Water. How easy is that?!

Directions: Place soup mix and 10 cups of water in large pot. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for 2 hours or longer (until peas are done) stirring occasionally. Makes 7 cups.

I made this in the crock put and let it cook all day. It was delicious!  Even took some over to my folks to share!  

Forgot to take a photo of it in a bowl but here was a snapshot of the crock pot view

Would I make it again?  Yes! You can buy it or any of the other wonderful mixes right HERE.

~ Taco 'Soup'reme ~

This soup was terrific and it makes 16 cups which was plenty for freezing and for leftovers for two more lunches and a cup with dinner :)

 What you need: Taco 'soup'reme package, water, 1 lb cooked ground meat, 2 cans corn, 8 oz can tomato sauce and 1 can Rotel (chopped tomatoes with green chiles). 

 Directions: Empty beans into colander. Rinse beans and place in large microwave safe dish. Cover with water 1-2 inches over beans. Microwave on high 15 minutes. Drain and rinse beans well. Now I made this in a crock pot and not the way the directions indicated. So after initially rinsing the beans, I placed them in the crock pot and let them soak overnight (with crock pot off).

 Then after soaking overnight, I drained and rinsed the beans well and placed them back in the crock pot.

 The ground beef can be pre-cooked, however I cooked it that morning right before rinsing my beans that soaked overnight.

 Place beans, seasoning packet, 6 cups water, 1 lb cooked ground meat, 2 (15oz) can corn, 1 (8oz) can tomato sauce, and 1 (10oz) can Rotel (chopped tomatoes with green chilies) in large pot. The directions say stir well, bring to a boil, lower heat, cover and simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours or until beans are tender, stirring occasionally.

 But I placed all in the crock pot instead and let it cook all day.  Man, did my kitchen smell great!!

It is optional to serve with chips, grated cheese and or sour cream. I added some shredded Mexican cheese that I had on hand. So hearty and yummy!
