Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

This is what the spread here will look like on Thursday! MMMMMMMM

Those are Pioneer Womans famous No Knead Dinner Rolls Best recipe ever! Try it - even if you don’t do bread/rolls normally ( I DONT! )  These are goof proof!  http://www.pioneerwoman.com

I will add some pictures the next time I make this…. they ate it up so fast I didnt have time to take any! Another hit that all 7 of us love. This recipe is based on my MIL’s version of this with a few changes of my own to make it faster!

2 lbs ground beef
3/4 sleeve of saltine crackers
2 eggs
1 cup ketchup
velveta cheese
1 loaf of frozen french bread ( Sara Lee Pre-sliced works best )

Brown ground beef and season well with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder. Brown just until all pink is gone - Do NOT over brown. Remove from heat. Mix in crushed crackers, 2 eggs, and 1 cup of ketchup. Spread meat mixture over slices of frozen french bread layed out on a cookie sheet. Meat should be about 3/4 to an inch thick on each piece when done. Place slices of velveta cheese over meat mixture. Drizzle with additional ketchup on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is toasted.

This is unbelievably good…. a simple quick family pleasing meal! We serve it with a side of mashed potatoes . MMMMMM

Another recipe that ALL 5 kids like! Yippeee!

I made this one up too! This is the size I make to feed 7 with a little left over ( and my kids eat ALOT ) so you could cut this in half for a family of 4.

2 cups rotini pasta ( uncooked )
2 cups large shell pasta ( uncooked )
1 cup large elbow macaroni ( uncooked )
1 package pepperoni

Cook all pasta in salted boiling water until tender. Drain and set aside.

Brown sausage in skillet. Add Ragu Pizza Sauce and pepperonis, simmer 5 minutes.

Mix 1 cup of cheese with meat/sauce mix and pasta in a large casserole dish. Top with remaining 1 cup of cheese. Microwave until cheese is melted. Serve with cheese bread.
