PINA COLADA CAKE

1/3 cup Rum
1 pkg coconut instant pudding mix (may want to try lemon or lime if can't find coconut)
1 pkg yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup oil
1 cup coconut

Blend all ingredients except coconut in large bowl. Beat 4 minutes at med speed. Pour into 2 greased and floured 9" layer pans. (or a 13x9 pan) Bake 350* for 25-30 minutes or until cake springs back when touched. (toothpick test as well) Do not underbake. Cool in pans 15 minutes, remove & cook on racks. Fill and frost and sprinkle with coconut. Chill. 


FROSTING:

Combine 1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple in juice, 1 pkg coconut instant pudding and 1/3 cup rum in bowl. Beat well. Fold in 1 container (9 oz) frozen whipped topping - thawed. 

Enjoy!

WESTERN CHILI CASSEROLE

 1 lb ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped celery (optional)
1-15 oz can chili, w/beans (you may find a small can of this as 15 oz is hard to find)
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cups (slightly crushed) corn chips 
1 cup shredded cheese (or cheese soup)

Brown meat - add onion. Mix all ingredients, adding corn chips last 15 minutes. Whole chips on top. 

Bake 350* for 10 mins - serves 6 


NOTE: I l believe this should be cooked for at least 30 minutes, since it states to add chips in LAST 15 minutes, yet the recipe I have states to cook for 10 mins. I think that was referring to after adding the chips, to cook another 10 minutes)

BREAD STICKS

 1 pkg active dry yeast, dissolved in 1 cup warm water
1 tsp sugar, blended with 3 cups flour
1/4 cup milk, warm
3 tbsp butter or oil (even margarine)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar

Mix yeast mixture with 1 cup flour in mixing bowl. Turn out on a lightly floured board and knead until smooth. Place dough in a floured bowl: cover with damp cloth and let rise at least 3 hours. 

Mix rest of ingredients together into a smooth dough and turn out on a lightly floured board, then add the risen dough and knead until satin smooth. Smooth dough into a large, floured bowl; cover and let rise until doubled in bulk. 

Turn out the dough onto the lightly floured board and knead until elastic and does not stick to the board. Slice the dough into equal pieces (about 24). Shape each piece by rolling the dough between hands and board until it looks like a short rope. Place on greased baking sheet about an inch apart. Brush with milk. 

Bake at 450* for 5 to 10 minutes or until crispy golden. 

Serve with barbecue, cheese, soups and stews.
