Million Dollar Spaghetti
So I have leftover spaghetti noodles and sauce earlier this week. I typed in "baked spaghetti" on Pinterest and lo and behold, I found the recipe to beat ALL recipes--at least according to the hubby. :) I only used sour cream and cream cheese; I didn't have cottage cheese at the time. It was super easy. I re-named it "Lunch Lady Spaghetti" but Million Dollar Spaghetti was very appropriate.

Favorite Hamburger Stew
I've had this one set aside for a while, but finally decided to make it. It reminds me of growing up in a rural community in Kansas with mainly just meat, potatoes and salt and pepper. As I've branched out in my kitchen skills, I've since learned to add additional spices. A nice bonus was that the hubby bought heirloom tomatoes that needed to be used up-yum! This recipe is a great example of READ THE REVIEWS before making it. I took the advice of others and added garlic, basil, oregano and beef broth. I love the idea of adding V8 and barley--maybe next time. Can't wait to have a bowl tonight!

BIEROCKS (GERMAN STUFFED ROLLS)
I'm in the following (amazing) facebook group: Homesteading with Patara of Appalchia's Homestead
I get a ton of good homesteading tips as well as anecdotal stories to read and share. A few days ago, someone posted that they were able to get cabbages for 15c/lb, so I went to my local grocer and found them for 25c/lb. I was so excited I bought 8 head! I also have been working on my bread-making skills so I decided it was time to make bierocks from scratch.
I'm so glad that I've spent the past week using my Mixer Bible to learn tips and tricks about bread making, such as warming up the mixer bowl in warm water, warming up the stove or microwave as a place to let the dough rise, and making sure the temp of melted butter and milk is at 100 degrees F so it doesn't kill the yeast. I also had made lasagna the night before and had leftover beef/sausage/onion mix. I put the cabbage in a pan and added the meat and was done in a flash. [The sausage also added a nice spice.] Finally, I sprinkled shredded cheese for extra yumminess. The one thing I forgot to do is add egg and/or butter to the tops, but it still was a hit with the family. After watching a couple of YouTube videos, I decided to make it like a pie with 2 pieces of dough, one placed on top and pinch the edges. If you're looking for a short cut, Rhodes rolls are a great alternative.
Next project is homemade sauerkraut and repeat this recipe replacing the cabbage with sauerkraut. :)

The Best Tater Tot Casserole
Thanksgiving week and I like to try to make meals on the days leading up to Thursday that don't taste anything like our holiday feast. Things like beef and fish are usually on the menu. Yesterday I was craving Tater Tot Casserole and found Carole's blog--it claimed to be the best tater tot casserole and she was right. I ended up using low fat yogurt, frozen mixed vegetables, and McCormick Steak seasoning in the hamburger. I didn't salt the top of the tater tots since there was already plenty of savory goodness mixed in. The boys agreed, it was one of the best they'd ever had. :)
