The biggest thing that happened in my kitchen this week was Thanksgiving. Thanks to my 17, almost 18, year old daughter that did all the baking.

I saw a picture of an apple pie on Facebook, so I sent her the picture. She made her own version and here it is.

I had to make homemade turkey sausage for our pizza the other day, so I made extra. I used two 20 ounce packages of ground turkey. I made patties with one package and put them all in the freezer for future meals. With the second package, I made crumbled sausage for pizza.

I have no pictures to share this week.  I didn’t do anything special in the kitchen this week. Basically, just tried to keep my head above water with meals and dishes.

I put Jag on the menu this week. I haven’t made it in a long time, but it is a family favorite. I linked the recipe below. There is no picture on the recipe post, so I’ll make sure to take one this week. So I’ll definitely have a picture to share next week.

Now…. to answer the question that I get asked about a hundred times a day……….What’s For Dinner? See my menu below! [Read more...]

This week I revived an old recipe I used to make years ago. It’s been at least 5 years since I made Crockpot Cheeseburgers, most likely more.  Everyone loved them. So I will probably serve them more often now.

This is an excellent recipe for busy days. Whether your too busy to cook, or short on time to eat dinner. This recipe works for both types of days. These are so good. Everyone loves them, children and adults. They are like a sloppy joe, only with cheese.  And this Crock Pot Cheeseburgers recipe is so easy!

Crock Pot Cheeseburgers

1 1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
8 oz. box processed cheese (aka Velvetta type cheese) , diced (2 c.)
1 medium green bell pepper, diced (1 c.)
1 small onion, diced (1/4 c.)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
8 buns

Cook beef, garlic and peppers until brown; drain. Mix beef and remaining ingredients, except buns, in a 3.5 to 4 quart cooker. Cover and cook on LOW heat until cheese is melted and combined. This may only take 2-3 hours in your crock pot or leave in the crock pot up to 6 to 7 hours. Serve on buns.

This recipe is especially easy if you have the meat already cooked in the freezer. In that case, if you were using fresh peppers and onions, you wouldn’t have to cook them before hand, they will cook in the crock pot. Just dump everything in and turn it on. It doesn’t get any easier than that! You can, of course, leave out the onions and peppers, but they add so much flavor. You could also sub a hotter pepper instead of the bell pepper for a different kind of cheeseburger. I got this recipe on an email list over 10 years ago, so I don’t know the original source.
