Pizza burger gooey stufff

I love this recipe, it is quick and delicious. I start with 1 lb. ground chuck and brown it, draining the grease. Put it in a large pot 3 or 4 qt., add 1 -15 oz can pizza sauce, whatever brand you like and 1/2 tsp each basil and oregano . Next add all of your favorite pizza ingredients, we like mushrooms, chopped pepperoni, chopped onions and let that cook for about 20 minutes. Just before I serve it I add 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese and 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese and mix. I serve it on toasted hamburger buns with a salad. It is so delicious and yes a little messy but worth it.

Mexican Meatloaf

I was looking for something different to do with a meatloaf. I had 1 pound ground beef , 1/2 cup salsa, 1 tsp. chili powder, 1 tsp. cumin, 1/2 tsp. pepper, 1 egg, 1 cup soft bread crumbs, 1/2 cup ketchup. I mixed it all up and shaped it like a cactus, baked at 350 for 40 minutes then I poured 1/2 cup salsa over the top and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 crushed tortillas and baked for 10 more minutes. It was really good. I got creative with the toppings so it looked fun. My family liked it although my picky husband wanted more spices. I might try that next time.

Do you have any interesting meatloaf recipes??

Busy night dinner plans

I have had a very busy day, I am tired and I don't feel like making supper for my family of four. Suddenly I see a can of pineapple chunks looking at me from the pantry. Kabobs, that sounds good and easy. I open the pineapple, drain and save the juice. Next I cut up some chicken, onions and green peppers into nice sized pieces that are easy to put on scewers. I love kabobs so I always have wooden scewers which are so cheap at the dollar store. I start with green pepper, onion, chicken and pineapple and continue until I have nine filled, two each and one extra. The color is great. I take the reserved pineapple juice add some brown sugar soy sauce and a little hot pepper sauce just to give it a little snap. Put them on the grill, baste with sauce. I cook up some quick white rice and in a short time I have a nice dinner. My family loves it, I am a hero and live is good!
