Sweet and Sour Hamburger
This is a favorite of half my family! We traditionally serve it with peas over the top or on the side but usually on top for some reason--it is pretty that way! The original recipe called for hamburger patties, but we prefer it with browned hamburger.
1 lb. carne molida (hamburger to us)
2 cups catsup or ketchup
5 T. sugar
3-4 T. vinegar*
5 T. Worchestershire Sauce (they have Lea & Perrins here)
1/3 to 1/2 cup water
4 cups prepared white rice
peas (optional) I use frozen peas as they are the prettiest!
Brown the hamburger and drain. In a bowl or large measuring cup, mix the next 5 ingredients stirring to combine. Pour over the meat and simmer for 15 minutes or to the consistency you like. Serve over the rice and sprinkle with peas if desired.
As is, it should be a nice gravy consistency sauce. If you cook it longer, it will get thick and can be used like sloppy Joe's.
*Check your vinegar. Sometimes it is very strong and will overpower the rest, sometimes weak and needs more added.
It makes about 6 servings.

Rich Fake Cheesecake or Refrigerate Cheesecake
This is so quick and easy and so yummy! If you times it by 2 or 3 it will fill a 9"x13" pan and serve 20 or more. One cheesecake can be cut into 6 or 8 slices depending on how much richness you can take!
1 pkg. graham crackers or 12 integral crackers con miel, crushed in a ziplock bag or blended fine, OR Chocolate OR Orange Tentacion cookies OR Oreos
4 T butter or margarine
Melt butter in a bowl in the microwave, add the crumbs and stir to combine. Line a small 7" or 8" pie plate (like Marie Calendar's size) with the crumbs on bottom and up the sides. Refrigerate.
1 8 oz.pkg. Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
1 can sweetened, condensed milk
1/3 cup of lemon or limon juice
Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the milk, blending until smooth and then the lemon or limon juice. Combine well, pour into the crumb crust and refrigerate several hours. Serve as is or with fruit topping such as pie filling, strawberry jam thinned with a little water or fresh fruit of your choice.
Once I used an orange cookie, crushed, for the crust--yummy and the next time I used a mixture of chocolate cookies and oreos, crushed, for the crust and poured melted caramels, squares or dots, thinned with 2 T water), sprinkled with broken pecans, and then about 4-6 oz. melted chocolate drizzled (through a tiny cut-out corner of a baggie)over that and refrigerated for 4 hours. Wonderful Turtle Cheesecake!
