Jalapeño Popper Sliders

I actually got the idea for this recipe from a Rachel Ray Magazine and tweaked it to my tastes and convenience. Enjoy!

What You Need

1 lb. ground beef
Salt and pepper to taste
1-2 T Worcestershire Sauce
4 oz. Cream Cheese
4 slices Bacon, cut into little strips
4 Jalapeños, un-seeded and diced
4 slices Cheddar Cheese
8 dinner rolls

Directions

In medium skillet cook bacon and Jalapeños. In medium bowl combine the cooked Jalapeños and bacon with cream cheese and set aside. In medium bowl combine ground beef, salt and pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Form ground beef mixture into 8 small patties, and place on grill. Flip patties once then top with a dollop of cream cheese mixture, and half a slice of Cheddar cheese. Let cook until patties are cooked through and cheese is melted. Serve patties on dinner rolls with a side of french fries.

Parmesan Chicken

Made this last night and it turned out so delicious!

What You Need

4-6 chicken breasts
1-2 c Italian style bread crumbs
1 egg
1/2 c milk
olive oil
4-6 thick cut slices mozzarella cheese
1 jar spaghetti sauce
Parmesan cheese
Spaghetti noodles

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat the bottom of a large skillet with olive oil and preheat at medium high stove-top setting. In small bowl whisk egg and milk. Spread bread crumbs onto a plate. Pat chicken dry, dip into egg mixture, then place onto the bread crumbs coating both sides and place in preheated skillet. Let chicken cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until lightly browned and crispy. Place chicken in a large casserole dish, top each breast with a mozzarella cheese slice and a heaping spoonful of spaghetti sauce. Cover casserole dish and bake in oven for 25 minutes. While Chicken is baking boil your pasta and coat it with the remainder of your spaghetti sauce. After chicken has cooked for the 25 minutes remove from oven, top chicken with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and return to the oven, uncovered, for an additional 5 minutes. Serve chicken and pasta together with a side salad or other veggie.

Cowboy Philly Cheesestakes

I actually got this recipe from watching Rachel Ray the other day, and just adapted it to my tastes. Turned out super yummy for our family, so I hope you all enjoy!

What You Need

1 large flat Beef stake/roast (you can just use a flank stake or chuck roast whatever looks good!)
Stake seasoning
paprika
4-6 slices bacon,sliced into small pieces
1 green bell pepper, sliced thin
1 red bell pepper, sliced thin
1 onion, sliced thin
6-12 slices Provolone cheese (or other favorite cheese)
BBQ Sauce
6 hoggie rolls, or small French bread loaves, toasted

Directions

Season meat with Stake seasoning and paprika on both sides, then place on the grill for 10 minutes per side, till beef is cooked to a medium done-ness. While beef is cooking place bacon in a large skillet and brown, then add peppers and onion (feel free to season veggies with salt, pepper, or even some crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick). When stake is cooked remove from grill and slice into thin strips, then add stake slices to the veggie mixture, tossing together to evenly distribute. Reduce heat on skillet to warm, top meat mixture with cheese, cover and let melt together for 3-5 minutes, while rolls are toasting. Top toasted rolls with BBQ Sauce and meat/veggie mixture and enjoy with some roasted potatoes/ fries/ chips, and your favorite veggie or side salad.
