Chocolate Filled Angel Cake


This little beauty is really easy. Make one boxed Angel Food Cake. I used a bunt pan because I didn't have an angel. When it is cool cut the top portion of the cake off. Make a tunnel around the inside of the cake.....eat the tunnel!! Put a box of chocolate pudding in the tunnel. Use less milk in the pudding so it is thicker and wont make the cake soggy. I cut the milk down by a 1/2 cup. Then put the top back on the cake. Completely cover the cake with cool whip. Refrigerate cake.

Giant Empanadas

1 lb. ground beef
1 c. chopped onion
1 c. chopped green pepper
1 141/2 oz. can tomatoes ( I used crushed)
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 refrigerated, folded pie crusts
Cook beef, onion, and green pepper until beef is browned. Drain. Stir in tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally for 15 minutes. Place pie crusts on ends of cookie sheet. Place half of beef mixture on half of pie crust, leaving 1/2 inch border. Fold other half of pie crust over beef mixture. Press edges to seal.Repeat with other pie crust and remaining beef. Bake @ 400 for 20-25 minutes until pie crust is golden brown.

Top with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and sour cream if desired.
