Mama called it Cheese Toast, but my son calls it Pizza Toast. It is such a simple, easy and tasty treat. Whether it'd for an after school snack or add meat for a meal, it's sure to please kids of any age! I used my own homemade Pizza Sauce, but you can use your favorite brand. I also used a Colby Jack Cheese blend, but again use your favorite. The possibilities are endless! 1 French Bread Loaf, cut in thick slices Pizza Sauce  (or spaghetti sauce) 2 cups Colby Jack Cheese blend (optional) pepperoni, onion, peppers, olives Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread slices of bread with a tablespoon or so of sauce. Top with the toppings of your choice, or simply top with cheese. Place them on a cookie sheet and bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. If serving to children, be sure to let them sit until the cheese has cooled enough to be safe. 

I was trying to figure out what to cook for supper with the things I had on hand. The cabinets are getting pretty bare, and those that know me, know that "running to the store" is not an option out here. I need a couple of hours to be able to do the shopping. Well, I had ground beef in the freezer and thawed it out. I had a few potatoes, a couple of onions and some cheese. Most recipes would call for some cream of mushroom or broth next, but I didn't have any on hand. I decided to go with a bechamel with a garlic kick. Here's a step by step, and the recipe is at the end. Layer potatoes and onions. Next combine hamburger, spices and bechamel, then top the potatoes and onions. Next Cheese! Another layer of potatoes and onions. More meat mixture. Continue layering. After 4 hours cooking on high. All plated and ready to gobble up! It went fast! 1 1/2 lbs ground beef � cup flour 2 cups milk 2 garlic cloves, run through a garlic press 1 tsp salt � tsp. Pepper 3 lbs. peeled ...

I asked the Hubby to go pick the ripest, prettiest tomatoes he could find from the garden. I told him that I wanted to cook a tomato pie. He said, "A what?" I laughed and told him he'd like it! Most people don't know much about tomato pie unless their Grandmama made it. Quite frankly, I don't remember Mama or my Grandmama making a tomato pie. The first time I tried it was in Santee, SC at  Lone Star Barbecue & Mercantile . That first taste was enough to inspire me to make them from then on! I finished the pie and offered a slice to him. He is now hooked!  I was short on tomatoes because I had already processed a lot for sauce the day before, so this pie is a little pitiful. The next one will be more substantial! LOL This is what I found on the counter this morning! I think he liked it! LOL 1 - 9 inch pie shell (or homemade pie crust, below) 1/2 cup chopped onion 3 cups chopped tomatoes 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon dried basil 2 cups cheese I used a co...

I was looking for a picture today and ran across this one. I know what some people will say, but I don't make this one often. My hubby loved it and would love one every week! I dusted off the waffle maker and used tater tots to make a waffle bun**. Thus the Bacon, Egg and Cheeseburger on a Tater Tot Bun was born... at my house at least! Here's a good, but different burger mix to incorporate some sausage into your burger. Beef and Pork Burger Patties 1lb Italian Sausage, de-cased 1lb ground beef Salt, Pepper and Garlic Powder 16 small  slider buns, dinner rolls or Tater Tot Waffle Bun Onion, diced very small 2 cups cheddar cheese, grated In a large bowl, combine sausage and beef. Using your hands, blend the two meats together.* Spread the onions on a heavy duty cookie or baking sheet. Using your hands, crumble and spread the meat mixture over the onion and press down. If you try to spread it by pushing the meat, the onions move and gather on the ends. Sprinkle generously with ...

I was thumbing through a few old church cookbooks and an old Hometown Recipes book and came across my Aunt Dot's recipe for "Cheese Pennies". They are much like cheese crackers or cheese straws. I decided to make some and make more of the family recipes in these books! It's fun seeing the names under each recipe and remembering these women and a few men too! 1 lb extra sharp cheddar cheese, grated 1 stick butter 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp salt 2 tsp baking powder 1 cup chopped nuts * 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper Mix grated cheese with room temperature butter.

We have been having a rough time in the South/Southeast after Hurricane Matthew. North Carolina is continuing to have flooding issues. Here in South Carolina, many people remain in the dark with no power. I am lucky. I have my power back on, but just 2 miles down the road they are still without power. It is possible that they will be without power for a few more days! With that being said, we got a little tired of the grill. I have never missed my stove more! You might think casseroles are boring, but when you even have to grill water, you may understand why a new casserole recipe brings me so much joy! 2 pounds ground beef 2 cups diced onion 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 can Diced Tomatoes, drained 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pepper 12 slices cheese (your choice)* 12 dinner rolls** Topping 1/2 cup butter 2 teaspoons minced Garlic 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

If you are like me sometimes the low carb lifestyle leaves me longing for crunchy foods! I got this recipe from 'mariamindbodyhealth'. These golden crunchy puffs are delicious and satisfied my craving for Cheetos. I don't know how long it has been since I have had real Cheetos. There are some things that I would change with this recipe. Maybe adding some cheese flavored popcorn salt would do the trick about halfway through the baking process. 3 egg whites beaten until very stiff 1/8 tsp. cream of tarter (add this to the egg whites before beating) 1/2 cup frozen cheddar cheese that has been pulsed in the food processor or blender until it is in tiny bits. Add the cheese bits gently to the egg whites. Be sure you don't let all,the air out of the egg whites. Put the cheese and egg white mixture in a plastic bag nd cut a hole in the corner and squeeze out Cheetos size shapes onto a greased cookie sheet. I used olive oil but you could also use parchment paper. Bake this in a...
