Have your breakfast and dinner too! This sandwich has it all. From the crispy bacon to the juicy dripping sunny side up egg and who can’t forget that thick beefy burger! When you are just THAT hungry, or just can’t choose one, this is the ultimate satisfying meal.

Don’t forget the savory has browns and melted cheese. Make it your own by using a bagel or roll instead of the English muffin if that is more your preference. Impress guests, or indulge on your own, this one is magnificent!

You’ll Never Pull These Out of The Freezer Again!

Kids and adults alike, both love this cheesy, crispy appetizer, but rarely does anyone ever prepare them at home.  Now, this easy recipe can show you how to in minutes.

Unlike the store brand, these cheese sticks are actually baked, with a lighter crust, so they’re healthier AND tastier than those in the box you’re pulling from the freezer. The lumpia rolls also offer a crisper and flakier crust, which always equals extra yum! When my friend told me about these lumpia cheese sticks, I had no idea what she was talking about. Maybe I’ve been living under a rock but I didn’t know what lumpia was!

She made sure I would get it right away, so that I could make these wonderful appetizers. I added some sliced jalapenos because I knew my husband loves it – and these turned out a great hit! I swear he would have eaten only these for dinner! And who am I to judge, if you’d like to do the same thing.

Potato lovers rejoice! No longer is a loaded baked potato shunned to a side dish, this twice-baked potato casserole moved up to the main meal and will fill your family’s bellies with hearty goodness. With a combined prep and bake time of 35 minutes, this dish is perfect for a weeknight meal! I love it whenever I find a recipe that doesn’t make me slave away in the kitchen for hours.

Going back for seconds is a must with the delicious flavors of crispy bacon, gooey cheeses, sour cream, and green onions to top it off. Make this for a pot-luck, or a family gathering as it comfortably serves 6-8. Of course, you could double the ingredients to make sure you’ll have tasty leftovers for lunch the next day. That’s what I always do, and so far I have never regretted it!

Quick tip: Add some of your favorite veggies to make this casserole a little lighter.

This Tuna Swiss Melt Casserole is a nice twist on the traditional tuna casserole and makes for a great, quick, and easy midweek meal!

I may have been in the minority of people growing up who actually enjoyed tuna casserole. Maybe it’s just my Gulf Coast upbringing, loving everything from the sea. Even I have to admit that the classic recipes like this can get a bit tired after a while, though. Adding Swiss cheese and tomatoes to the mix makes for a nice upgrade, I think. Swiss cheese is one of those “happy medium” cheeses that has a distinct flavor without being too overpowering, and it actually takes on more depth of flavor when melted. The result: a really creamy casserole with a topping that nicely complements the natural flavor of the tuna. Just make a side salad, and you have a filling, soothing, well-balanced full meal–with minimal effort. Yummy!

This Cheesy Bacon Dip is a great choice if you want to make a quick and easy snack for yourself or for any gathering. I love serving it with tortilla chips or crackers. My husband enjoys eating it with pretzels. It’s all up to personal preference as this is a dish that pairs so well with pretty much anything! How do you think you’ll be eating cheesy bacon dip?

As is, the recipe serves six people, but I don’t think that you would have any trouble expanding it as you need. Just some quick mixing and the dip bakes in about half an hour. How can you beat that? This is the perfect dip for any SuperBowl, tailgate, or backyard BBQ party. Just make sure you have the recipe at hand – people are going to be begging you for it!

Quick Tip: You can serve this dip in an edible bread bowl. It’s tasty and a lot of fun!

These Cheesy Bacon Breakfast Potatoes make for a simple yet delicious main course. With just three rather common essential ingredients (plus some salt and pepper and a simple garnish), this recipe won’t break your back or the bank. This is properly a breakfast recipe, but I normally eat my breakfast food at suppertime. Breakfast food like this is great if you want something soothing and savory but don’t want anything too over-the-top heavy for dinner.

I was intrigued by this recipe, as it calls for baking the bacon (instead of frying it on the stove) and reserving the bacon grease for the other baking steps. I have to say, it turned out nicely. Bacon grease just adds so much great savory flavor to everything. I kept things simple and breakfast-oriented and had these potatoes with some eggs and grits, but if you want to serve this as a side dish in a bigger meal, I’m sure that it would go nicely with some steak or even some fried pork chops.

Quick tip: Use your favorite cheese for this dish!

Light this is not, but this Cheesy Twice-Baked Potato Casserole is delicious! If you are a cheese lover, this recipe has a good sampling of all of the favorites. There’s nothing fancy about this recipe. In fact, it’s rather simple to put together, even if you do (of course) have to allow time for the potatoes to bake. It’s loaded with good flavor, and it has ‘comfort food’ written all over it.

This casserole is loaded with cream and three types of delicious cheese, with just the right amounts of rosemary, oregano, and nutmeg to draw out all of the sweet and savory flavors. I think that this is a great choice of side dish if you want something rich and hearty to complement a main dish on the leaner or lighter side – though you could serve it with any main course that you’d otherwise serve with basic mashed potatoes. I had mine with some yummy meatloaf.
