My Signature Chocolate Chippers

2 cups butter, set out at room temperature
1 cup l brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, I only use Mexican vanilla
3 large eggs at room temperature
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Sprinkle of cinnamon
2 bags MILK chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Cream the butter and two sugars until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, then the eggs, one at a time, and mix well. Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and add to the butter with the mixer on low speed, mixing only until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Drop the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, using a 1 3/4 inch- diameter ice cream scoop or a rounded tablespoon. Dampen your hands and flatten the dough slightly. Bake for exactly 10 minutes (the cookies will seem underdone). Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the pan, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Bacon Cheeseburger Mini Meatloaf Cups

Bacon Cheeseburger Mini Meatloaf Cups

You can use any standard meatloaf recipe and put it in a muffin tin sprayed with pam using an ice cream scoop and it cooks faster and is a lot more fun to have little individual portions!

1 pound ground sirloin
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 package Cheddar cheese, shredded
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup club crackers, smashed (I put them in a ziplock bag and hit with a measuring cup)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon grill seasoning (recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick)
1/3 cup ketchup
1/3 cup stubbs bbq sauce


Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients.

Spray muffin tin with pam, generously.

Using an ice cream scoop place one scoop per muffin cup. Put in oven and bake for 25 minutes. A little longer if you like the hard crusty part like we do :)
