This recipe comes from Beverly in New York. It is a delightful combination of caramel, pecans and chocolate to create a wonderful easy-to-make cheesecake recipe. Beverly says:

I am a person who loves to cook, I especially love cheesecake. I live in New York on the East bay of Lake Ontario. This recipe was given to me by my friend Ruthie who lives in Penn Hills, PA., so the credit goes to her for sharing this with me. Thank you Ruthie, Bev

Beverly's Best Chili
This recipe comes from a member of our momscooking community, Beverly, who donated this recipe as part of our ChiliUSA collection. She says, "I have been cooking all my life. It is one of my favorite pastimes. This particular dish has developed along the years. I have always loved mushrooms, so I added them. I experimented around until I got a recipe that was just right for everyone in the family including the sons who liked cheese or ketchup on everything. We really enjoy this dish and I hope you will too, especially on a cold snowy night up here in New York on Lake Ontario.
