written by Rebecca

Total Cooking Time: 60 mins | Servings: 4

Creamy, cheesy, and insanely delicious – this ham and potato casserole is another casserole that you can easily make at any time! I love to serve this casserole for a hearty breakfast, and this is excellent, too as a post-holiday dinner!

Ingredients

¼ c. butter

6 small potatoes, peeled and cubed

2 c. cubed fully cooked ham

3 tbsp butter

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 ½ c. milk

1 (8 oz.) package of shredded Cheddar cheese

3 tbsp all-purpose flour

¼ c. bread crumbs

Salt and ground black pepper to taste

HOW TO MAKE HAM AND POTATO CASSEROLE

Step 1: Into a large pot, place the potatoes. Cover the potatoes with salted water. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, adjust the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Drain when done.

Step 2: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C. Ready an 11/2-quart baking dish. Grease and set aside.

Step 3: In a skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the ham and onion to the skillet. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes until the onion has softened and translucent.

Step 4: Into the ham mixture, stir in the potatoes. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step 5: In a saucepan, melt 1/4 c. butter over medium heat. To the melted butter, stir in the flour until smooth.

Step 6: Into the flour mixture, slowly whisk in the milk. To taste, season with salt and black pepper. Cook further, stirring until the mixture has thickened. This takes another 2 minutes. Then, adjust the heat to medium-low and add the cheddar cheese. Stir well until blended.

Step 7: Over the ham and potatoes, pour the sauce and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and the casserole is browned.

Step 8: Remove from the oven when done and serve the casserole immediately. Enjoy!

Tips:

For this recipe, use cooked ham. Leftover ham or precooked is a great option.

written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook Time: 12 mins | Total Time: 17 mins | Yield: 24

Delicious and easy to make. These cheese-stuffed pizza bites are the perfect homemade pizza excellent for pizza night. Made with homemade or canned pizza dough topped with mozzarella sticks, and pepperoni, then lightly coated with olive oil. On top, sprinkle with garlic, herbs, and Parmesan. Then, these pizza bites are baked to golden and cheesy perfection. You are welcome to double the double if desired.

Ingredients

2 tbsp Olive Oil

1 Roll Refrigerated Pizza Crust Dough or Homemade Pizza Dough

8 Mozzarella String Cheeses, cut into thirds or smaller pieces

24 Pepperoni Slices

1 tsp Italian Seasoning

2 tbsp Shredded Parmesan Cheese

Pizza or Marinara Sauce for Dipping

1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

How to make Easy Pepperoni Cheese Stuffed Pizza Bites

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees. Using a non-stick spray, grease a round glass baking dish or cake pan.

Step 2: After unwrapping the mozzarella string cheese, cut each into thirds using a pizza cutter. If desired, cut each third into smaller pieces.

Step 3: On a pan or large cutting board, spread out the canned or homemade pizza dough. Into 24 even pieces, slice the crust using a pizza cutter. It is easier to make three cuts a long way. Cut the three cuts in half horizontally, then each half three ways. This way you’ll get even pieces.

Step 4: On each piece, place the pepperoni and top each with the string mozzarella. Into a tight ball, roll each piece, then pinch the seams together on the bottom. Into the prepared baking dish, place the bites-by-side, bottom side down.

Step 5: Combine the seasonings and shredded Parmesan, then mix with the olive oil. Using a pastry brush, evenly brush the tops of the cheese-stuffed pizza bites with the mixture.

Step 6: Bake the pizza bites in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown.

Step 7: Remove from the oven when done and serve the Pepperoni Cheese Stuffed Pizza Bites immediately with the pizza sauce. Enjoy!

Notes:

You can keep any leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time until the bites are warm and the cheese has melted.

Prep Time: 20 mins | Cook Time: 12 mins | Total Time: 32 mins | Yield: 12 taco cups

These little taco cups are awesome! They are made in a muffin tin using just a few simple ingredients. These Crunchy Taco Cups are always a huge hit! They have double layers of crunchy taco shells topped with seasoned beef, spicy tomatoes, and melted cheese. All this goodness in one perfect bite!

My husband loves soft tacos. I prefer crunchy tacos. Whenever we have taco nights, we make sure to have both on the table. But with this recipe, we get the best of both worlds! Crisp and crunchy tacos and the inside is soft and melty! No wonder why my family is obsessed with these tasty Crunchy Taco Cups!

For this recipe, I used a can of diced tomatoes and green chilies. If desired, you can swap the tomatoes with regular, petite diced tomatoes and skip the heat. We love our Crunchy Taco Cups with a little kick so we stick to this recipe. When done baking, you’ll have cheesy, gooey, melty, crunchy, and delicious taco cups!

Ingredients

24 wonton wrappers

1 pound lean ground beef, browned and drained

1 envelope (3 tbsp) taco seasoning

1 1/2 c. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (or Mexican blend)

1 (10 ounces) can Ro-Tel Diced Tomatoes and Green Chiles drained

How to make Crunchy Taco Cups

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees F. Using nonstick cooking spray, generously grease a standard-size muffin tin.

Step 2: In a bowl, place the cooked beef, taco seasoning, and tomatoes. Mix well until combined.

Step 3: With a wonton wrapper, line each cup of the prepared muffin tin. In each cup, add 1 1/2 tbsp of the taco mixture and top with 1 tbsp each of cheese. On top, press another layer of wonton wrapper, then taco mixture and cheese.

Step 4: Place in the preheated oven and bake the taco cups for about 11 to 13 minutes or until completely heated and the edges of the cups are golden.
