This is a simple recipe I've used for many years with a lot of nice responses. Substitute some very fine corn meal for about 1/4 of the flour used for a very good taste. 03/02/2018 update- just learned that if you substitute a bit of fizzy water to the mix, the bubbles will make the pancakes fluffier.

In the early years of our marriage, I found a recipe for Beef Nacho Casserole, which Joe and I both loved. Years went by, and I forgot about the casserole. In 2016, I remembered how much we had enjoyed it and wondered if our kids would too. Rachel and I found a similar recipe, modified it to our taste, and made it. It was a hit! No matter how often we eat it, Joe always comments about how long it's been since he last had it.
