Snicker Doodles

Ingredients:
1 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
cinnamon and sugar (for rolling)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 or 400. Beat shortening, eggs, and sugar until well combined. In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients (not the cinnamon and sugar). Add dry ingredients to egg mixture. Form into small balls and roll in cinnamon and sugar mixture. Bake 4-6 minutes, or when sides begin to crack.

Notes:
I have made this recipe since I was probably ten. It's an easy one to half.

Baked Beans

Ingredients:
1 green pepper, diced
1 onion, finely sliced or diced
oil
1 really large can baked beans
1 15-ounce can white beans (Great Northern)
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 package bacon, cooked and diced
salt and pepper to taste


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Saute pepper and onion in a little bit of oil over medium-high heat just until tender. Combine all ingredients in a large, oven-safe pot. Bake, covered, for one hour. Remove lid from pot and bake an additional 30-60 minutes until sauce starts to thicken. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Notes:
I need to figure out the actual measurement of the large can of baked beans. Also, when I made this, it took quite some time to thicken, closer to 60 minutes uncovered, rather than just 30.

Time:
Approximately 2 hours start to finish.
