It took years of tinkering to come up with my own personal favorite granola recipe. Granola recipes are meant to be modified, but maybe you can start with this. Enjoy warm with milk or by itself! Does well in the freezer for several months!

Beef and Cabbage Stew
This cabbage stew with tender beef and potatoes is a very good recipe. My 93-year-old mother-in-law has recently told me that this is the best meal I have ever brought her, and there have been many. All the veggie prep can be done while the onions and bay leaves are simmering. I do add more broth when the veggies go in. The cabbage will add a significant amount of water but the beef flavor is key.
Loaded Bacon Ranch Mac and Cheese Casserole
This loaded bacon ranch mac and cheese casserole adds bacon and ranch, Cheddar cheese, sour cream, chicken, and broccoli to boxed mac and cheese for a rich, full, all-in-one dinner casserole.
Cheeseburger Egg Rolls
I had something similar at a restaurant, threw these together at home, and they were pretty good! As a dipping sauce, use mayo and catsup mixed together.
