Million Dollar Fudge (more like million calorie)

1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
4 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 can (15 oz) evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed)
3 packages (12 oz) milk chocolate chips
1 jar marshmallow creme

3 cups chopped nuts (optional)

Place butter, sugar and milk in heavy 4 quart saucepan. Bring to a full rolling boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil 5 min., stirring constantly to prevent scorching.

Remove from heat. Gradually add chocolate chunks, stirring until chocolate is completely melted. Add marshmallow cream; mix well.


Pour into greased 15 x 10 x 1 inch pan. Cool completely before cutting

makes 60 pieces.

Variation:
I like to split the cooked mixture before I add the chocolate and I will do half with white chocolate and the other with the milk chocolate or just make in two separate pans.

Then I will separate and flavor the white chocolate into bowls and with different extracts and color each differently to differentiate. Once that step is finished I will pour into each individual prepared dish equal amounts of the white chocolate mixture and the brown chocolate mixture.

For appearance you can layer then on top of each other or swirled. I have added candy pieces, cookie bits, marshmallows or what ever you can imagine for a fun twist.

Best cut after cooled overnight in the refrigerator. If covered tightly fudge will store for up to 1 month, shorter time if cookies or softer medium that will go soggy are added to the candy.

This is a smooth creamy recipe and pretty much a no fail.

Lasagna

1 Jar spagetti sauce
Lasagna noodles enough to cover a 9x13 glass baking dish
1 cup ricotta cheese
2 tsp fresh garlic minced
1/8 to 1/4 cup chopped red onion (to taste)
2 1/2 tsp to 1 tbsp dried oregano
1 1/2 to 2 tsp dried basil
1 to 1 1/2 cup shredded mozarella cheese
1 to 1 1/2 lb fried hamburger

1 lb mild Italian sausage

Boil noodles until not all the way softened so they are easier to work with.

While noodles are boiling start the hamburger and sausage frying in separate pans.. Drain and rinse the grease from the meat. Grind in blender for smaller size pieces of meat.  Mix two meats together

Cheese Filling:
mix together the ricotta, minsed garlic and mozarella cheese.

Tomato sauce:
add the seasonings to the tomato sauce along with the onion.

Place a layer of meat on the bottom of your baking dish and coat with some of the tomato sauce. Place your first layer of noodles over the hamburger. Top with your cheese filling. Place your second layer of noodles over the cheese mixture. Top with a small portion of reserved hamburger and enough of the tomato sauce to cover the noodles evenly. Any exposed noodles will dry out during baking.

You can top with more grated cheese and seasonings at this time if you would like.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until all bubbly.
