 Mint Brownie Recipe

 Brownie:
1 c. butter
4 eggs
2 c. sugar
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate squares
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. flour

 Combine ingredients and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.

 Frosting:
2 c. powdered sugar
1 T. milk
4 T. butter
1/2 t. peppermint
3 drops green food coloring (optional)

 Spread on cooled brownies.

 Topping:
4 T. butter
1 (12 oz.) bag of milk chocolate chips

 Melt & stir until smooth; spread on brownies.

 **This recipe is extremely rich! I like a hint of mint and more chocolate topping. I would recommend trying chocolate frosting for the topping instead of the melted chocolate chips. This gives the recipe a thick layer of chocolate on top and a more intense chocolate flavor.
bon appétit

Penne Pasta and Smoked Sausage Bake

Image
This recipe is one of my husband's favorite recipes.  It is hearty and full of flavor. UPDATE: I recently made this recipe using a can of cream of mushroom soup with roasted garlic instead of just plain cream of mushroom soup. The roasted garlic in the cream of mushroom soup added such a delicious element to the sausage and pasta. I HIGHLY recommend doing this! However, if you don't have the roasted garlic cream of mushroom soup, regular cream of mushroom soup will work fine. Penne Pasta and Smoked Sausage Bake Recipe INGREDIENTS 1 box penne pasta, cooked and drained 1 pound smoked sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices 1 1/2 cups 2% milk 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup (I prefer cream of    mushroom soup that has roasted garlic for enhanced flavors) 1 1/2 cups french fried onions 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (I prefer colby jack with this recipe) 2 cups frozen peas Salt and pepper to taste  DIRECTIONS Cook pasta accordin...
