Kelly Glupker recently posted about her favorite dinner recipes and the benefits of using a weekly menu to plan and stay on budget. She tagged me to also post my fave recipes for the supper table. I'd post my menu for this week too but it's a bit wacky since we'll have family in town visiting. Here are a few of our easy family favorites.
Tortilla Sausage Rolls
1 lb pork sausage
16 oz cottage cheese
1/4 cup chopped onions
2 Tbsp flour
1/4 cup chopped black olives
16 oz jar tomato or spaghetti sauce
12 flour tortillas
1 cup shredded mozarella cheese
Saute sausage slowly until brown, drain off fat. Place sausage in a large bowl. Add cottage cheese, onions, olives, flour and 1/2 cup sauce; stir until blended. Preheat oven to 375.
Spoon meat mixture onto tortillas, using 1/3 cup for each. Roll up each tortilla (jelly-roll style) and place seam-side down in a greased 13 x 9 baking dish. Spoon remaining sauce over tortillas. Bake 15 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 10 more minutes.
Cheesy Ham Casserole
1/2 cup salad dressing or mayo
2 cups fresh broccoli flowerets
1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cup chopped ham (or spam!)
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cup corkscrew noodles, cooked and drained
1/2 cup chopped red or green pepper (optional)
1/3 cup seasoned croutons
Mix all ingredients except 1/2 cup cheese and croutons. Spoon into 1 1/2 or 2 qt. casserole dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and croutons. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
This is a great cheap favorite of mine. It also works well to be made ahead of time and refrigerated until supper time. It's very kid-friendly though we usually leave out the peppers since Chloe picks them out.
And now I tag the following five gals to post their favorite meal recipes: Rachel, Carrie, Karen, Abby and Tracy. Tag, you're it!
