Hamburgers and potato something or other. The other day when I was at the store and wanted hamburger meat they were all out except for the 73% stuff and the delivery truck was stuck in Missouri because of the storm. I bought a chuck roast and today ground my own hamburger meat with the help of DH. May have to do that more often.
Oh, I wish I had a meat grinder so I could custom grind my own meats! Maybe one of these days…Good job being thrifty and health conscious BuckeyeGirl.

Offline~ eeek ~ my quote box didn't come up right Squeegees Mom! That was actually mamajhk's dinner plan!!! (though it sounds like a really great one!) I posted about how when we were kids that we had a whole production line on really good sales of chuck roasts. It was incredibly cheap to by the roasts instead of ground meat! Our labor cost was high though. I still do it when I can because it's worth KNOWING what's in your hamburger to me. Back in the day we had an electric grinder, now what I have is an old fashioned grinder that a neighbor gave me because she never used it. (bless her for that!)

OfflineI made the Million Dollar Spaghetti that's been floating around Pinterest and Facebook tonight…with my own revisions of course
Not really sure how the amounts that are in the recipes make a 9x13 pan full of casserole. I doubled the pasta (used penne instead of spaghetti, too), used 1 1/2 pounds of burger instead of a pound, 24 ounces of sauce instead of 16, 1 cup of sour cream instead of 1/4 cup, and 2 cups of cheese instead of 1 cup. I had the lasagna pan out until I put 1/2 of the pasta in the bottom and it didn't cover the bottom (this 1/2 amount was the original FULL amount), so I got the 9x13 out and all of this extra stuff made a full pan.
BUT it's amazing!!! More than a spaghetti, different than a lasagna.

OfflineMaking a special treat for my honey: Sausage Rolls (http://www.seriouseats.com/2012/04/sunday-brunch-sausage-rolls-recipe-british-pigs-in-blanket.html), a snack that he misses from growing up in the UK. I'm using reduced-fat sausage to make them and serving them with a big pan of roasted vegetables. Something like french fries as a side is probably more traditional, but I'm trying to feed the guy, not kill him.

OfflineYeah, they were great! It complicated things a bit that the package size on my sausage and puff pastry was different than those in the recipe, but I figured out that nine rolls would be the yield on 12 oz. of sausage (about 1.3 oz. each). I think the mustard is optional; my honey said it isn't traditional, but he didn't mind it and I liked it. I wouldn't make these with full-fat sausage--I think they would be way too greasy--but apparently that's the way they're usually made. YMMV.

OfflineI don't know how justdeborah2002 does hers but when I do it with the granddaughters I premake the crust and either have them pat them out in the pan or I have it already done and just have them add the sauce, toppings (meat, etc) and cheese. Then they all go into the oven at the same time. BTW these are individual pizzas (usually about 6 in. rounds).

Offlinemy pizzas were bigger than 6 inches….more like 10 inch round-ish crusts that I brushed with olive oil and prebaked, 2 to a baking sheet, 2 baking sheets at a time, for about 15 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. Then I pulled out the pans, laid them on the table onto multiple hotmats, and told everyone not to touch the pans as they dressed their pizza. All the fixings were on the table (sauteed onions, diced red onion, sliced tomatoes, olives, hot peppers, sausage, homemade pizza sauce, cheese curds, smoked mozzarella, parmesan, diced green pepper, and pineapple tidbits. As everyone was building their pizza, I popped my crust into the oven to prebake. When mine was done, their's went into the oven to finish. I dressed mine, and popped it in after theirs came out.
So, all in all…four people ate about 5 minutes before I did. Hope the explanation makes sense. If you made smaller pizzas, you could feed more people at once….but I was ok with starting to eat a few minutes after the others.
