Cheeseburger Sliders

A great way to feed a crowd!

I tripled this recipe because

I was feeding a lot of people.

1 pound of ground beef 

2 tsp. Salt

2 Tsp. Pepper

2 Tsp. Garlic Powder

Melted Butter

Sliced Cheddar Cheese

 1 Pack of King's Hawaiian Rolls

Onions (Optional)

Any Condiments that you like after they are baked.

Take your ground beef and  press in to a 9 x 13 pan

after mixing Salt, Pepper and garlic powder with it.

I just mix with my hands.

Bake for 20 minutes on 350.

Drain.

Split rolls in half.

Place big rectangle Meat patty on top of bottom part of rolls.

Now is the time to add onions if you desire.

As you can see, I am the only one that likes onions.

He doesn't know what he's missing.

Then add real cheddar cheese slices.

(Don't get the imitation!)

Place tops on Meat and brush with melted butter.

I added garlic powder and if I had had sesame seeds I would

have added them.

Bake 350 for 20 minutes.

Cut and serve.

Baked Potato Soup

This soup is a copy cat of a soup from Houston's restaurant in Atlanta!

We made it up ourselves.

(By the way, that's my all time favorite restaurant! We go once a year for my birthday!)

I start out with butter......yes always butter!

Then I add finely diced onions.

Sometimes I do carrots chopped finely.

Then I add water and potatoes.

Cook until done and fix just like mashed potatoes.

Add more butter.

Salt and pepper to taste.

You want this very thick.

Serve with shredded cheddar cheese, bacon, and chives!

Absolutely delicious!
I usually serve with cornbread
but I fixed homemade bread this time.

Dutch Oven Crusty Bread

This is probably the easiest bread I make!

Only 4 ingredients!

This is actually a no knead bread,

although I do knead a little to make it into a ball.

You don't even grease the pan!

The hardest part to me is remembering to do mix this

bread up for it to rise the night before.

It literally takes 5 minutes to do though.

Easy.

Isn't it gorgeous?

This bread is easy & delicious!

*****************************************************

3 Cups Bread Flour

1 Tsp. Active Dry Yeast

1 1/2 Tsp. Salt

1 1/2 Cups warm water

Whisk flour, yeast and salt in a 3-4 quart bowl with a tight fitting lid. I like to use my trusty Tupperware. If you don't have a bowl w/lid use plastic wrap on a bowl. Add the water and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough is mixed well. The dough will be quite sticky and shaggy looking, but that's OK. Cover the bowl and set aside for 12-18 hours,(up to 24) overnight is fine.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place a cast iron Dutch oven with the lid into the oven while preheating and heat the pot/lid for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, scrape the risen dough from the bowl onto a heavily floured surface. (Dough will still be very sticky.) With floured hands, gently shape the dough into a round loaf, making sure there's enough flour on the surface so dough doesn't stick. let the dough just sit there until you're pot is preheated.

Take the hot pot from the oven and gently place the dough into the pot. Cover with the lid and return to the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the lid at that time and return the pot to the oven for another 10-15 minutes. Gently shake the loaf onto a cooling rack and enjoy the beautiful aroma. Give it a chance to cool before cutting into loaf. 

Oven Fried Chicken

Crush Corn Flakes and melt butter.

I don't normally use the boneless chicken breast

but its all I had in the freezer

and I am shopping in my pantry,

garden and freezer for a few weeks,

so this is it.

Dip in butter and roll in crushed cornflakes.

Salt and pepper.

Then dip in butter again and roll in cornflakes again.

Spray pan or grease. Then add chicken.

Don't worry if the chicken has bare spots like this one

but you do want it covered as good as you can.

Then you take your leftover butter

and it will have cornflakes in it

and pour over chicken.

This is why I said not to worry.

Place in a preheated 400 degree oven for about 40 minutes.

If it browns too quickly, cover with foil while cooking.

This is an easy and delicious way to fix chicken.

I am trying to learn to cook smaller portions,

since it is just the two of us most of the time.

That's harder to do than you think.

Hope you enjoy!

White Chocolate Cream Cheese Icing

8oz Cream Cheese

1 stick of butter

16 oz of powdered sugar

1 t vanilla flavor

1/2 cup melted white chocolate

Mix softened butter and cream cheese in mixer.

Add vanilla flavoring.

If you stop here it will be a cream cheese icing

but if you want to add the melted white chocolate, it changes the taste completely.

If it is too thick you can add a little milk.  Very little.

Enjoy!
