After last night’s lighter dinner of Asian Ground Beef Lettuce Cups my children were looking for something heartier for dinner tonight. Everyone was hungry and looking for a warm, filling meal. For me that means pasta or potatoes. After a glance through the pantry and freezer I decided it was going to be pasta for…

Rachel Ray inspired Asian Ground Beef Lettuce Cups
My kids were asking for something savory tonight for dinner. I wanted something fairly easy to make and clean up. I still had ground beef, yes, night number 3, but I wanted to make it not feel like the same meat again. This time I turned to an Asian influence to try to change things…
Individual Layered Mexican Pizzas
We needed something really quick and easy for dinner tonight that would travel fairly well for our “To-Go” meals. I still have lots of ground beef to use and had left over cheese sauce from last night’s dinner that I really wanted to use in something. I hate throwing food away and am always looking…
Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes
I was recently talking on FB with a high school friend who told me she only uses her bread maker once or twice a year. I gave her some ideas for making dough with spices for pizza crusts and rolls. I told her I was even making part of our dinner as we chatted! I…
Cheddar Barbecue Burger with Special Sauce
I am counting the days until the end of Christmas vacation. I LOVE having my kids home but both have been sick since Christmas Eve and it is starting to wear them and me out. It is nothing horrible but this horrible sore throat, cough and lingering cold symptoms. They have been eating lots of…
Bacon Grilled Cheese Hamburgers
We are still eating comfort foods this week. With Christmas right around the corner we are going for easy meals that are filling and feel like a warm hug. Tonight we had Bacon Grilled Cheese Hamburgers, tomato soup and peas. This meal took me back to my college days. Verdict: We all loved this meal. …
Swedish Meatball Casserole
I think this year it is a Casserole Christmas. It seems what is getting me through this Christmas season are casseroles and my slow cooker. I love that I can just throw things into a pan and it comes out with a delicious dinner. I was searching Pinterest for ground beef recipes when I came…
Scalloped Potatoes with Ground Beef
Things are getting busier day by day here. Another night, another casserole. I am trying to not spend any more money before Christmas so we are going to be using everything I can out of the pantry and freezer. I went searching for a dish that used ground beef and potatoes that I could make…
Nachos with Beef
My kids really wanted to go out to eat. Being just over a week to Christmas Day the budget cried, “No.” So, we started to brainstorm about what we could make that would make them feel like they were going out. They wanted nachos, soda and dessert. I started Googling restaurant style nachos. Every single…
Slow Cooker Bottom Round Steak
So last night’s dinner was not a casserole. I found a really great deal on Bottom Round Steak at the local grocery store that I just could not pass up. When I got it home I realized I had no idea how to cook it. It was about 2 1/2″ thick and had a fairly…
Moussaka Like Casserole
Last night I took ground beef out of the freezer. I needed a quick casserole to get on the table. I have always wanted to try making Moussaka but never seemed to quite get around to buying the eggplant. I love Greek flavors and when I saw this recipe for a Moussaka like casserole on…
Skillet Lasagna
Yes, we are still on the one pan, casserole or soup dinners. Things are starting to get crazy here, well, I guess they are always a bit crazy just more hectic. I came home last night and sat staring at the refrigerator. Both kids were asking when dinner was going to be done. Half an…
