Stromboli

Stromboli

This was really good. My family loves anything Italian based so it was a hit. It was fairly easy to make. I made a balsamic/ olive oil dip for it too.


Ingredients:

2 refrigerated loaves of Pillsbury french loaf
1 package of sliced ham
1 package of pepperonis
1 package of sliced Italian cheese
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon basil
2 Tablespoons of melted butter


Just combine the bread and roll out as much as possible. Add a layer of ham down the middle, top with a layer of pepperoni. Sprinkle both of the herbs on top of the meat. Top with the cheese. Fold the edges together like a burrito. Make sure there are no holes so that the cheese doesn't run out. Brush the melted butter on it and flip it over. Brush the other side with the remainder of the melted butter. Cook at 375or 20- 22 minutes. Slice into half sandwich size pieces. VOILA!

(I forgot to take a pic of the final product, so I used this pic from the site I got the recipe from. It looked just the same so =)- )

Fiesta

Fiesta!!!




 
This is an old family favorite. We have always called it fiesta. It is easy and the kids love it. Its my oldest son, Isaiah's favorite. He calles it, "the stuff with the big chunks of cheese". lol


Ingredients:
Crushed up tortilla chips
Velveeta cheese cut in small cubes
Chili: (this is how i make chili)
2 lbs hamburger meat
1 can rotel
1 can pinto beans
1 can ranch style beans
1can tomato sauce
1 package of Williams chili seasoning
2 cups of cooked rice


You layer this on your plate. First, a layer of crushed up chips, then the cheese, then rice, and top it off with chili. I like to make sure I have a chunk of cheese to every bite. And you have to add enough chili so that its not dry. Be careful because you can make a huge plate without intending to! You can add onions, tomatoes, lettuce, or sour cream if you want. =)
