Egg & Bacon Sandwich Spread

6 large, shelled hard-boiled eggs, cooled or room temperature
2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
3 strips of bacon, cooked crisp

Place shelled hard boiled eggs in a mixing bowl and chop with a pastry blender or knives until coarsely chopped. Crumble bacon and add to mixture. Stir in mayo and mustard. Salt and pepper to taste. Spread on bread or toast.

May be doubled.

Spread on bread, this makes a good breakfast or lunch (or even fancy finger type) sandwich. It's a very good use of hard boiled eggs leftover from Easter.

English Toffee

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup slivered almonds
1 tbsp. water
1 tbsp. light Karo syrup
5 Hershey Bars (crushed, broken, whatever)

Combine all ingredients except the Hershey bars. Cook in a heavy pan over high heat. Stir until it is a shade darker than dark brown sugar - about 10-12 minutes. Pour onto cookie sheet and spread with the back of a wooden spoon to all edges. Put crushed, smashed, obliterated Hershey Bars over the top of hot toffee. Refrigerate immediately for about an hour, until cool. When hardened, break into pieces and store in an airtight container. Best kept refrigerated.

Enchiladas
Eve

Two cans Old El Paso Enchilada sauce. Sometimes I mix green and red.
6-8 corn tortillas -- flour tortillas don't work as well.
one onion chopped (or more is okay)
grated cheese --lots cheddar or monterrey jack or whatever you like
1/2 lb. browned ground beef if you wish (optional)
vegetable oil
sour cream (optional)

Heat oil in skillet. Dip one tortilla at a time in the oil and drain. Place tortilla in baking dish and put a little cheese, onion, beef, and sauce (very little sauce) on tortilla and roll it up. ( You can just mix a very little sauce in the beef rather than putting them on tortilla separately) After you roll all the tortillas pour all the sauce over them and sprinkle any remaining beef and onion over them. Cover with plenty of cheese.
Bake for 20 -30 minutes until hot and bubbly at 350.

Serve with sour cream.

Without the oil -- the tortillas are very hard to work with -- they tear up too easily. If you don't want to dip them in hot oil -- try stacking them in a casserole with the other ingredients like a lasagna.
