Layered Enchilada Bake is deliciously easy. You get all the goodness and flavor of an enchilada without wrapping and tucking tortillas. And – IF – there are any left overs they are even better than the serving you had when they were freshly made! Begin by browning the ground beef. Drain excess grease and push the meat to one side to lightly saute the chopped onion. Stir in the can of corn and the enchilada sauce (mild or to your taste), plus the Taco seasoning mix. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat when mixture reaches a boil. In the meantime, place two tortillas end to end in a 9x13 pan sprayed with cooking spray. Cut a third tortilla into 2 inch wide strips and place around the edges so that the bottom is fully covered. Spread half the sour ... [Read More]

Cheesy Beef Stromboli
Hearty. Cheesy delicious. Filling finger food. Meal in a crust. You'll love Cheesy Beef Stromboli. Plus it is quick and easy! Just beef and cheese - no tomato sauce. Each sentence: one more word than the last. Now it is time to talk about the food! :-) Brown the beef and let it cool. Unless you brown the beef as you buy it and toss it in the freezer in 2 cup packages. (Highly recommended! Especially if you buy on sale!) If you are using beef from the freezer, thaw in the microwave. Add egg and cheese. Grab your favorite cookie sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray. Crack open a roll of refrigerated pizza dough and unroll it on the cookie sheet. Pat out until it touches the edges. Spread meat filling over the dough, leaving about 3/4 inch uncovered on all the ... [Read More]
Cheeseburger Dip
Everything you love about a cheeseburger in one creamy bite. Cheeseburger Dip has it all -- hearty beefy burger, creamy cheese, ketchup, mustard -- in one spoonful. Serve it on a cracker, scoop it with a chip, it's all good! Top it with bacon chunks for even more goodness. Cut the bacon into small pieces before browning. It will crisp faster that way. It also saves burned fingers because you won’t be trying to cut hot bacon into pieces. I add half the mustard because its not my favorite flavor so I would order my cheeseburger without, but you can go all out and add all the recipe calls for. If you brown your bought on sale hamburger before popping it into the freezer, measure out two cups browned ground beef and save yourself some time. You can use any cheddar cheese or even ...

Made from ingredients that are likely already in your pantry and refrigerator, it works wonderfully well on those days you walk in the door with a million things on your mind. Swoop the ingredients off the shelf, brown the meat and simmer in sauce, cook the pasta, add cheese – and there is one less things to worry about. A quick and delicious dinner is on the table. You'll have time to finish the rest of the list. Or free to play with the kids or even sit down and relax. Whatever fits :-) I keep browned ground beef in the freezer in bags of 2 cups each – about a pound of fresh meat. If I throw a package in ... [Read More]
Hawaiian Party Burgers
Hawaiian style! Party on a bun. So quick, so easy to make; the sauce is just a little bit sweet and a little bit tangy. Your family and friends will love Hawaiian Party Burgers and think you worked really hard to make them special! I’ll never tell! When you pick up the package of King’s Hawaiian Rolls in the grocery, check to see which variety you have in your hand. It should say something like “savory butter rolls” or “original sweet” or even “honey wheat”. Did you know they also make a Jalepeno Roll? I didn’t until I was ready to use it. Oh my goodness – that’s hot and spicy!!!! Makes my eyes water even thinking about it! Probably really good if you like hot and spicy – but definitely not what I was expecting. Look before you buy! I also have used slider rolls. So ... [Read More]
