Say Good-bye to {Boring} Baked Beans

Brought to you by Jessica Mobley

Some people keep their best recipes under lock and key ~ this lady is NOT one of them. I consider myself to be a good cook and it's something I love to do. When I find or make up an amazing dish I want to share it with everyone! This dish is one if my most requested recipes that started as an accident.

I was looking on line for something new to try for John {my hubby} and had a couple recipes pulled up at once. I started cooking and somewhere in the middle my page got switched and finished with one of the others I had decided against. I realized this when it was time to put it in the oven ~ Oops! What came out of that oven was pure awesomeness! I immediately went through the history and wrote what was used from each recipe and saved it to my computer!

Cheesy Twice Baked Beans

1 Large can Bush's baked beans with the purple packaging.

1 lb of ground beef cooked and drained

3 tbsp ketchup

1 tbsp worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp mustard

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup light brown sugar

Shredded cheese

Mix everything EXCEPT the cheese together. Spread half of the mixture in an 8x8-baking dish, layer with shredded cheese and top with remaining mixture. Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes to thicken!

This can be doubled and put into a 9x13 for large parties. And if there are any leftovers {which I doubt there will be} it also makes a great dip!  From my kitchen to yours, enjoy!

Motel Muffins: A Yummy Recipe!

Brought to you by Jessica Mobley

Being a mom means your days are long, nights are short and your memory is somewhere in between. Here at the momAHOLIC diaries we are all about making life a little easier, whether it's reviewing a product you were on the fence about, finding coupon codes, sharing recipes or giving fashion and beauty tips. If you need a place to escape reality for a few minutes and wind down after putting the kids to bed you came to the right place!

Every momma on-the-go knows how hard it is getting the kids ready, fed and out the door in the mornings. I have a recipe that is perfect for fall and winter when you want/need a hot breakfast!

My mother-in-law gave me this recipe and my kids and I love it! This is a recipe you make ahead of time and pop it in the oven in the morning while you are getting ready. It's called Motel Muffins because it makes enough to feed a Motel!! You can store the dough in the refrigerator up to 6 weeks in a container with a lid. How awesome is that?! Wake up ~ pre-heat oven, jump in shower, pop muffins in oven, do make-up and BAM breakfast is ready!

Motel Muffins

Mix dry parts:

5 cups flour


3 cups sugar


5 cups Raisin Bran cereal


2 tsp salt


1 tsp cinnamon


1/2 tsp allspice


5 tsp baking soda

Add: 


4 beaten eggs


1 cup oil


1 quart buttermilk

Bake at 350 for 20-24 minutes {Depends how hot your oven cooks}. You can also add chopped up nuts before cooking or sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar after cooking. Optional ingredients include; 1 tbsp of almond, lemon or vanilla extract added to the mix.

Recipe makes 1 gallon, refrigerate overnight. Will keep up to 6 weeks in the refrigerator in a container with a lid. Just scoop out as much as you need and put the rest back. Enjoy!
