Mahogany Cooks

One day I was doing a small cook out for just the family.  I went to the store several times and forgot Baked Beans more than once...  What is a cook out without Baked Peas.. So I looked in to the cabinets.. I was like Hmmmm! This might be good.. Turns out the FAMILY LOVED it...

This will be a serving for 8 to 10 people

• 3 cans of Lucks Blackeye Peas (any brand will be fine)
• 1 Can of Diced Tomatoes
• 1 Can of Tomato Sauce
• 1 medium fine chopped Onion
• 1 medium fine chopped green bell pepper
• 3 slices of thick Bacon
• 1/2 cup of Dark Brown Sugar
• 2 Tablespoons of Molasses
• Dash of Salt and Pepper to taste...

*Depending on how sweet you like your beans you can always add more sugar.. I know I did*

Mix all ingredients Except the Bacon put them in a pan in which you are going to cook them in... Then add the bacon to the top.. Let it bake for about 35 minutes at 350...


Hope you enjoy!!

This is a favorite among my friends... I am not taken credit for this recipe... My friend Latonya Owens started this.. I am not sure where she got the recipe from.. Yet I make them too.. I wanted you all to try them out also...

You will need the following items... (note: I am not BIG on measurements... I let you use your eyes and what not)...

1 package of Egg Roll Wrappers
1 .lb of Ground Beef
1 lb bag of Mixed Vegetables
A bag of coleslaw mix
For season to taste any Oriental Sauce.. I use Teriyaki or Sweet Chili Sauce...
Oil for deep frying
side bowl of water...

You will cook the Ground Beef until brown and drain the fat grease.. Then you add the Vegetables.. Once the Veggies begin to cook you will add the slaw and the Sauce..  Once cooked you will being to fill the Wrappers  (according to the wrapper directions.. I normally do 2 tablespoons) .. Once filled and rolled moist the ends with a dab of water. Then you will place them in the deep fryer or deep pan with hot grease..  Fry them until golden brown...

Enjoy
