Italian Sausage Pie

1 pie shell, unbaked
3/4 lb Italian sausage, sweet
1/2 cup onion, chopped
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup cream or milk
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
salt & pepper, to taste

Place pie shell in oven during the pre-heating time for about 5- 10 minutes in order to firm the bottom some. Don't overcook!

Remove casing from the sausage and crumble. Sauté sausage and onions; drain well and spoon into prepared pie shell.

Blend eggs, milk, cheese, salt and pepper; pour over sausage mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees F. for 35 minutes, or until custard sets and tests clean with a knife. Allow to cool slightly.

Cafe Rio Pork Burritos

SWEET PORK

2 pounds pork
1 can Coke (NOT diet)
dash garlic salt
1/4 c. water
1 can sliced green chilies
3/4 can enchilada sauce
1/2 c. brown sugar (1 cup if you want it to be sweeter)

Put pork, 1/2 can of coke, water, and garlic salt in crock pot on high for about 3-4 hours (or until it shreds easily, but don't let it get TOO dry). Remove pork from crock pot and drain any liquid left in the pot. Shred pork.

In a food processor or blender, blend 1/2 can Coke, chilies, enchilada sauce and brown sugar. Put shredded pork and sauce in crockpot and cook on low for 2 hours. That's it!
