Upside-Down Meatloaf

This has got to be my number one favorite meatloaf recipe. We usually serve it with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies. The whole family enjoys this one and even likes to have meatloaf sandwiches if there are leftovers. Sometimes I add a pack of Lipton Onion Soup Mix to this. Continue reading “Upside-Down Meatloaf”

My kids love pizza but with so many kids it can get rather expensive. This is a treat they like and it doesn’t cost me an arm or a leg to make. Add a salad to make it a filling meal.

Impossibly Easy Pizza Bake

Ingredients:

  • 3 1/3 c. Original Bisquick™ mix (from a 2 lb 8 oz box)
  • 1 c. milk
  • 1 jar (14 oz) pizza sauce
  • 1 package (7 oz) sliced pepperoni
  • 2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese, or the pizza blend

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Spray 13×9-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, mix the Bisquick and milk until soft dough forms.

Drop half of the dough by spoonfuls evenly in the bottom of the baking dish (dough will not completely cover the bottom of the dish).

Drizzle about 1 cup pizza sauce over dough.

Arrange half of the pepperoni slices evenly over sauce.

Top with 1 cup of cheese.

Repeat layers with remaining dough, pizza sauce, pepperoni, and cheese.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown, biscuits in the center are cooked, and cheese in the center is bubbly.

Oatmeal Pie

I absolutely love this pie! I’m not sure where I came across the recipe but it looked interesting and I am so glad I gave it a try. I normally have to make two of these at a time as they get gobbled up quickly. (This is good with a little scoop of vanilla ice cream as well.) Continue reading “Oatmeal Pie”
