Rolo Cookies 2 (From Brit)

1 - Triple Chocolate Cake Mix
2 eggs
1/2 C Oil
1 Bag Rolos
1 large Symphony Bar - break each 'scored' piece into thirds.
Chocolate Sprinkles

Combine cake mix, eggs and oil until well mixed. Take approx 1 Tlbs and flatten slightly. Put rolo in middle and cover with cake mix to form a ball. Bake at 375 for 9-10 minutes. When 1 minute left remove from oven and put piece of symphony bar on top and put back in oven. After 1 minute remove from oven and spread melted chocolate for 'icing' and top with sprinkles. Cool

These are really easy and YUMMY!!! The hardest part is taking the wrapping off the rolos.

Slow Cooker Pizza

This is off the website allrecipes.com
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 8oz package rigatoni pasta
1 16 oz package shredded mozzarella cheese
1 10.75 oz can condensed cream of tomato soup
2 14 oz jars pizza sauce
1 8 oz package sliced pepperoni
Any other desired pizza toppings

1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente; drain and set aside. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off grease.
2. In slow cooker alternate layers of ground beef, noodles, cheese, soup, sauce, and pepperoni.
3. Cook on low setting for 4 hours

Verdict: This was yummy but next time I make it I will not put the pepperoni on until the last few minutes in the crock pot or when I serve it. The longer pepperoni is cooked the spicier it becomes so if you like spice put it in. This would also be good with green peppers, mushrooms, and other pizza toppings. With it this way it reminded me a lot of Goulash. If made without the cheese it's dairy free for Andrew.
