Honey Oatmeal Bread

Honey Oatmeal Bread is my favorite homemade bread.  The slightly sweet taste combined with its rustic look makes it perfect to serve with many meals.

Honey Oatmeal Bread

1 cup water (between 70-80 degrees F)

1 tbsp. vegetable or canola oil

1/4 cup honey

1 tsp. salt

2 1/3 cups bread flour

1/2 cup old-fashioned (rolled) oats

1 rounded tsp. active dry yeast

1.  In bread machine pan, place all ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer.   

2.  Select Basic or White Bread Cycle, 1-pound setting, and medium or dark crust setting.  (I use dark.)

3.  Bake according to bread machine directions (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).  

4.  Remove immediately from baking pan when done and let cool 15 minutes before slicing.

Spicy Bean and Beef Pie

Spicy Bean and Beef Pie was a keeper the very first time I made it.  Words can't describe how good it is!  Bean with bacon soup is the key ingredient to give it a special flavor that one can't quite put a finger on.  Three words--just make it.♥

Taste of Home has amazing recipes, and one of them is the Spicy Bean and Beef Pie recipe found here:  http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/spicy-bean-and-beef-pie

Notes:

*Make sure you use picante sauce and not salsa. They are similar, but picante is cooked and generally spicier. Picante is available in different heat levels: extra-mild, mild, medium, and hot. I buy the Pace brand in mild. 

*I use refrigerated pie crusts instead of making my own for this recipe.
