These are great. The secret to not having the mix too runny is to let the oatmeal soak up the milk before you add everything else. For the otpping we use BBQ sauce rather than ketchup, which is just based on our families preference.

This is a great recipe as written, but the second time I made it I did a little alteration. I cooked up a few pieces of bacon and then chopped the bacon and used the bacon pieces rather than ham and a spoonful of bacon grease rather than the butter. I also used chicken stock rather than water. These were exactly like the green beans I remember as a kid that my southern "grandma" used to make. The whole family raved about them.

I made these for christmas cookies this year. They were wonderful. Since I was snowed in the day I decided to make them, I used mint truffle kisses since I had them on hand. I ground them in my food processor and then melted batch amounts in the microwave and spread it on the cookies after they cooled. This allowed me to control the presentation a little better. The first one I tried to melt the candy on and then spread and it flattened the cookie. I think that may be the problem that some people are having. Other than that one, all my cookies were puffy.
