Can it get any simpler than this?

2 INGREDIENT MUFFINS   

2 c. self-rising flour
2 c. (1 pt.) vanilla ice cream, softened

Beat until smooth, spoon into greased muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.


Options:  Pineapple or orange sherbert, strawberry ice cream, butter pecan ice cream (sprinkle some sugar on top before putting in the oven to make a delightful glaze)

  Two-ingredient muffins are BRAVE!  Where did you find this recipe?  I wish we had self-rising flour at work!   

Cooks.com.  I was looking for 5 ingredient or fewer recipes and found this one.

I'm posting this reciped in honor of my sister who caught 2 in her bedroom this week.  She would have been much happier to catch one prince charming, but sometimes you have to live with what life gives you.  I promise I won't do this again.

Possum and Taters
1 young, fat possum
8 sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sugar
salt

First, catch a possum. This in itself is excellent entertainment on a moonlight night. Skin the possum and remove the head and feet. Be sure to wash it thoroughly. Freeze overnight either outside or in a refrigerator.
When ready to cook, peel the potatoes and boil them tender in lightly salted water along with the butter and sugar. At the same time, stew the possum tender in a tightly covered pan with a little water. Arrange the taters around the possum, strip with bacon, sprinkle with thyme or marjoram, or pepper, and brown in the oven. Baste often with the drippings.

Have you ever actually tried this?

[Osensitive1]

That's really eeeewww.

[Queen Victoria]

Dear Hubert, No, I haven't because I don't like peas.  I imagine if given the opportunity to try oppossum I would try it.  After all I enjoy deer sausage, alligator sausage, rabbit, raw oysters, clamari, sushi and tripe.  I would probably draw the line a nutria however.

Anyway, here's a more pleasant low carbohydrate recipe.

3 Ingredient Cheesy Burger Skillet
 
1 lb. Ground Beef, cooked and drained
1 can french style green beans, drained
4 oz.  shredded cheese
 
After browning and draining the grease off the ground beef, add the green beans; stir.  Cover and cook on low for 10 minutes or until grean beans appear tender.  Remove from heat and stir in the cheese.  Cover for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.  Season with salt and pepper, then serve.

Thanks for making me look twice at the peas. It's a bowl full of strung beads painted green. Artificial dish.

Ah, yes, the string provides fiber and wipes you at the same time.

Spaghettini with Mushrooms, Garlic, and OilFrom Food & Wine

 Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil
3  cloves garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon dried red-pepper flakes (optional)
2/3 pound mushrooms, sliced
1  teaspoon salt
1  pound spaghettini
3  tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Directions

1.In a medium frying pan, heat the olive oil over moderately low heat. Add the garlic and the red-pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic softens, about 1 minute. Add the sliced mushrooms and the salt and cook until the mushrooms exude liquid, the liquid evaporates, and the mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes.

2.In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghettini until just done, about 9 minutes. Drain and toss with the mushroom mixture, the parsley and the pepper.


3.Variations:
Spaghettini with Garlic and Oil: Eliminate the mushrooms and reduce the oil to 7 tablespoons. Just cook the garlic and red-pepper flakes for a minute and toss with the remaining ingredients.
Spaghettini with Walnuts, Garlic, and Oil: Eliminate the mushrooms and reduce the olive oil to 7 tablespoons. At the end, toss in 2/3 cup of toasted and chopped walnuts.
Spaghettini with Salami, Garlic, and Oil: Eliminate the mushrooms and reduce the olive oil to 7 tablespoons. Cut 1/4 pound of sliced salami into thin strips and toss it into the spaghettini with the parsley and black pepper.

This is sort of a half-assed potatoes au gratin, simpler and faster.  Probably for the winter months.

Cheesy Hashbrowns.

30-oz. pkg. frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed
2 c. sour cream
2 10-3/4 oz. cans cream of mushroom soup
1 onion, chopped
2 to 3 c. shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
 
Combine hashbrowns, sour cream, soup, onion and 2 cups cheese together; mix well. Spread into a lightly buttered 13"x9" baking pan; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour. Makes 8 to 10 servings.  I would say you could substitute any cream of soup depending on what you'll serve it with.
