Very classy on the Pooh plate, huh!!!

Tater Tot Casserole

3 cans Cream of Mushroom Soup

4 cans of Green Beans

1 lb. ground beef

1 bag of Tater Tots

cheese

Cook the ground beef then combine all ingredients together. Place in a 9x13 pan. Sprinkle with cheese and put Tater Tots on top of cheese. I sprinkle the Tater Tot's with some seasoning salt and when I'm cookie up the hamburger I add some garlic salt and pepper. If you like your casserole more on the dry side you could just use 2 can's of soup...

Ann's Quick Corn Bread Deep-dish Pizza

Ann’s Quick Corn Bread Deep-dish Pizza

Ingredients

Crust:
1 (8 1/2-ounce) box Jiffy brand corn-muffin mix
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Topping:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 (26-ounce) jar of your favorite pasta sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound sausage of your choice, cooked and crumbled or sliced
1/2 pound Monterey Jack, shredded

1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Prepare the muffin mix using the egg and 1/2 cup of milk. (Note: this amount of milk is different from what’s called for in the package directions.) Add the Parmesan, and then spread the batter evenly across the bottom of the pan.

2. Heat the oil in a large skillet, then sauté the onion and garlic until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the pasta sauce, oregano, and salt and pepper. Cook the sauce until it thickens, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

3. Arrange half of the cooked, room-temperature sausage on the cornmeal batter. Pour the sauce over the batter, spreading it evenly, then layer on the remaining sausage. Bake for 15 minutes, then top the mixture with Monterey Jack and bake until the cheese is bubbling, about 10 minutes. Cut into slices and serve. Makes 6 servings.

P.S. I didn’t have any onion or garlic so I just added dried onion with my sausage when I cooked it and then added garlic salt, pepper and oregano with the spaghetti sauce when I heated it up. It still turned out really good. The kids all loved it.

Spaghetti Pie

Spaghetti Pie

Makes 9 inch pie

6 oz. spaghetti
2 Tablespoons butter
1/3 grated Parmesan cheese (I have used Parmesan in the can stuff instead and it's still good)
2 well beaten eggs
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 (8 oz) can tomatoes, cut up (I don't cut them up I just pull them apart with my fingers)
1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp dried oregano, crushed
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (2 oz)
some cottage cheese

Cook the spaghetti according to package directions; drain (should have about 3 cups of spaghetti). Stir butter into hot spaghetti. Stir in Parmesan cheese and eggs. Form spaghetti mixture into a crust in a buttered 10-inch pie plate. (I just use cooking spray) Spread cottage cheese over bottom of spaghetti crust. In skillet cook ground beef, onion & green pepper until vegetables are tender and meat is browned. (not a fan of green peppers so I leave them out) Drain off excess fat stir in undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, oregano and garlic salt; heat through. (I usually just add all the spices in while browning the burger and I'm sure that you could just use a spaghetti sauce if you wanted to? Haven't tried it but if it's a thicker brand I think that it would work just fine.) Turn meat into spaghetti crust. Bake uncovered in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over top. Bake 5 minutes more.
