Cheese Steak Sandwiches

Advertisements

Cheese steaks are classic and great for parties or just a quick dinner. For this recipe I used thin sliced venison, but beef would work just as well. I also had just run out of lettuce, so there is only a tomato on this these sandwiches. Otherwise, the process is very straight forward. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them below! This recipe makes 4 sandwiches, 2-4 adult sized portions.

Spaghetti with Sausage

Advertisements

This meal is incredibly easy and tastes great. This is a quick meal I grew up with, and it’s impossible to get it wrong. If you are nervous about boiling the sausages, you can also bake them with some water at 350 F for about 25 minutes, but just boiling them on the stove has worked fine for me. I also used mild Italian sausage, just because my family isn’t that big on spicy food. This meal made 5 Adult sized portions. To store leftovers, you can store the sauce separately or with the noodles. If you store them separately, the rinse the noodles with cold water to stop pasta from sticking together when you reheat. Start your sausage first if you have a faster cooking pasta like angel hair, since the sausage can cook for a while before becoming over cooked, but pasta has a limited time.

This bacon parmesan penne pasta is full of flavor and very filling. Despite the oil, this dish is not a heavy dish, however it is also a good idea to serve with a veggie on the side. What more is there to say? Cook the pasta until al dente, make your oil sauce with onion and bacon, add your pasta then cheese, stir and serve. This dish isn’t healthy enough to eat everyday, but if you are in the mood for something a little unhealthy, this is a great meal and oh so tasty! This recipe made 5 adult sized servings.

Grilled Ham and Cheese with Mustard

Advertisements

Grilled sandwiches are always great this time of year, and grilled ham and cheese is a classic. But that isn’t the reason I made this recipe. This recipe is different because it uses a new way to grill your sandwich. Instead of smearing mayo or butter onto your bread, this sandwich was made by adding oil and butter into the pan to accomplish the same thing. This is a special technique because normal butter would begin to burn very quickly, so butter and oil is used to give you more time before the butter is so hot it begins to burn. Otherwise, mustard, ham and cheese is a great sandwich to try this technique with and you won’t be disappointed! The recipe below is enough to make 2 sandwiches, enough for 2 adults.
