These porcupine meatballs are by far the best I have ever had! This recipe was given to my mom when she married back in 1970 — it includes directions for stovetop cooking and baking in the oven. I hope you enjoy it as much as our family does.

This authentic chicken enchilada recipe is made with fresh green salsa, just like you would find in a Mexican restaurant or better yet, in a Mexican home.
Slow Cooker Southern Lima Beans and Ham
I searched your website for the simple lima bean recipe that my mom used to make and the one that is served by many restaurants here in the south as a side dish. I couldn't find one, so I submitted my own. This is an easy, basic lima bean dish with ham, onion, and seasonings. Served over Mexican cornbread, it makes a delicious hearty meal. You can also do this on the stovetop. Just follow the directions on the back of the lima bean bag and add the seasonings. Slow cooker time is about 7 hours. Add a side salad for a complete meal.
Easy Texas Chili
This is an easy Texas chili recipe I learned from my mother. I like my chili with a little fire to it, but you can adjust this recipe to your liking. This chili only gets better the second day, so don't worry about using a large pot and having more than your family can eat the first night because you can have it a couple of nights later. Enjoy — I know I do every time I make this chili.
