Sticky Buns

20 frozen Rhoades Rolls
3/4 c. brown sugar
1 small pkg. Cook and Serve Butterscotch pudding mix (NOT instant, it won't work)
1/2 c. butter or margerine
Arrange rolls in a well greased Bundt pan.
Combine pudding mix (dry) and brown sugar and sprinkle over the rolls. Pour melted butter over it all.
Cover and let it raise several hours until nice and puffy. You know. Like rolls should be. Don't jump the gun and try to bake them before they have raised enough. It won't turn out. Trust me. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
Let it sit for a minute and then put a plate on top of the pan and turn it all over. Let it sit again so all the syrup runs down.
Eat them while they are warm. Cover any leftovers and warm them up before eating again.

Pork Enchiladas with Green Sauce

These enchiladas are really easy and delicious.
My sister in law shared this recipe with me and now it's one of our favorites.

1 large can green chili enchilada sauce
1 small can green chili enchilada sauce
1 pork roast
1 package spanish rice (the great value brand in the green bag is really good)
2 cans of beans (either black or pinto, I've always used black)
Tortillas
Shredded cheese

Cook pork roast in crock pot for 8 hours on low until it shreds easily. I pour the small can of green chili enchilada sauce in with it. Prepare spanish rice and set aside. Open cans of beans, drain and set aside. When the pork is done, shred with fork. It should shred really easy. Pour a little enchilada sauce in 9x13 baking dish. Take tortilla and fill with pork, rice, beans and cheese. Roll up and stick in baking dish. Pour can of green chili enchilada sauce over the top of rolled tortillas and sprinkle with cheese. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Serve topped with sour cream.
