Chili Dog Casserole

This is another recipe from Pinterest.  I made it the other night and it was delish!  If you like chili dogs, then you'll like this recipe and it's easy to make.

Chili Dog Casserole

2 (15 oz) cans chili with beans (I used one can Hormel Hot & Spicy and one can regular Hormel)
1 (16 oz) package beef frankfurters (I used angus beef Ball Park)
10 (8 inch) flour tortillas (the fajita sized ones)
1 (8 oz) package Cheddar cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Spread 1 can of chili and beans in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Roll up franks inside tortillas and place in baking dish, seam side down, on top of chili and beans. Top with remaining can of chili and beans, and sprinkle with cheese.

Cover baking dish with aluminum foil, and bake at 425 degrees for 30 minutes.

Pepperoni Pizza Spaghetti Casserole

So I came across this recipe on Pinterest.  If you click through, it was featured on "Skip to my Lou."  It's a combination of two foods that I like - pepperoni pizza and spaghetti.  It's also easy to make.

 

Pepperoni Pizza Spaghetti Casserole

 

12 oz uncooked spaghetti

1/2 tsp salt

1 (1.2 lb) hamburger

2 ounces pepperoni, sliced in half

1 (26 oz) jar pasta sauce

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 (8oz) packaged shredded Italian three- cheese blend

 

Instructions

Cook spaghetti with 1/2 tsp salt in water according to package directions (cook to al dente). Drain and place noodles in a lightly greased 9X13 pan. Set aside.

Cook hamburger in a large skillet until cooked through, drain and set meat aside. Wipe skillet out with a paper towel. Add pepperoni slices to pan and cook over medium-high heat stirring occasionally, until slightly crisp (about 4-5 minutes).

Cover the spaghetti noodles with hamburger then pour pasta sauce over the top. Sprinkle half of the pepperoni slices evenly over the pasta sauce. Top with Parmesan and Italian cheeses. Arrange remaining pepperoni slices evenly on top of the cheese.

Lightly spray one side of aluminum foil with cooking spray and cover the dish with sprayed side down. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and starting to brown.

 

 

The original recipe used whole wheat pasta, turkey burger and turkey pepperoni, but I used what I had in my fridge and in my pantry.  The only time you'll find turkey in my fridge is during the holidays or maybe after a trip to the deli.  I also will use more pepperoni the next time I make this, but it didn't stop me from digging into it.  It's another keeper.

Bubble Up Pizza

This is a wonderful recipe that I got from al.com.  It's just another great recipe to make that's easy and tastes good.  I modified it slightly using ingredients that I already had on hand.

Bubble Up Pizza
1 can of Grands buttermilk biscuits, 16.3 oz
1 jar of pizza sauce (I used pasta sauce)
2 cups of cheese
your favorite pizza toppings (sausage & pepperoni are my faves)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Cut biscuits into quarters and place in a medium size bowl.  Toss biscuits with 1 cup of sauce.  Add pizza toppings and half the cheese.  Toss until well blended.  Spray a 9" x 13" pan with cooking spray.  Pour biscuit mixture into pan and top with remaining sauce and cheese.  Bake at 375 for 25 - 30 minutes or until biscuits are done.

It is so good!
