Pork and Potato Bake, Mexican Layer Dip and Halloween Cupcakes

First step to the Pork and Potato Bake...cook a ton of bacon....
Layer dish with mashed potatoes....

Top that with crumbled up bacon....

Then top that with a tub of pulled pork and some barbecue sauce...

Then add the cheddar....

And done. This was ok for the first couple of bites...then it got pretty gross. I ended up throwing most of it away that week and going out to lunch instead.

This next one is something I invented myself because all of the Mexican dips I've made have been missing one or two ingredients that I always want. So first you layer a can of refried beans.

Then add a layer of rice...

Top it with some salsa and Mexican blend cheese.

Then add ground beef with taco seasoning.

Top with a can of Ro-Tel...

Cover with cheese and bake. This was really good. I scooped it up with tortilla chips...the only problem was there was too much rice compared to everything else.

Then I made a box of cake mix and added some of the orange Halloween Oreos inside the mix...



Made my own buttercream and decorated with candy pumpkins and butcher knives with red gel....

Hopefully next year I'll actually be around for Halloween so everybody gets a chance to try some of these.
