Hash Brown Quiche by Kristi Aase
Ingredients
- 3 cups, shredded frozen hash browns, thawed and drained
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 3/4 cup diced cooked ham
- 1/2 cup diced green onions
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Gently press the drained hash browns between paper towels to dry them as best as possible. In a 9-inch pie plate, toss the hash browns with the melted butter into the plate. Press them into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and starting to crisp.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. When the hash brown crust is ready pour the egg mixture over it and return to the oven.
Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for about 30 minutes until the quiche is light golden brown on top and puffed.
Spinach & Bowtie Pasta by Shoko Malsom
Makes 6-8 servings
Ingredients:
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 bunch of spinach, washed and chopped
(or 10 oz. bag of baby spinach)
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 Tbsp olive oil
10 oz. box of Bowtie Pasta
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 cup Parmesan cheese
Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions.
2. While pasta is cooking, in a large non-stick skillet heat olive oil, once hot add chopped garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes (careful not to burn it!) & add ground beef, cook until brown.
3. Once the meat is cooked, add spinach, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and salt & pepper until spinach is wilted and cheese is melted.
4. Toss spinach mixture and pasta together and serve.
*Ground beef can be substituted with ground turkey or use ½ lb. ground beef and ½ lb. ground turkey. I personally think it tastes better if some ground beef was used for this dish! This a super easy dish that you can make for your family on a busy night and kids won’t mind the spinach at all!
Chicken Broccoli Casserole
by Krissy Moore
Ingredients
2-3 cups cooked and chopped chicken
1 cup water
1 cup rice
1 stick melted butter
1 10oz package broccoli (thawed) or use fresh broccoli cut in small pieces
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup (8oz.) Jar cheeze whiz
Topping- French's Fried Onions
Directions
Using a 9x13 pan, mix all ingredients together except the fried onions. Top with French's Fried Onions.
Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for about 1 hour or until brown on top and bubbly.
Tips-
Cooking a pkg. of chicken breast with 1 can of chicken broth in the Crockpot for at least 3-4 hours on high works and tastes best. You can make this ahead of time. I have also put this chicken in the freezer after cooking it and pulled it out of the freezer to add to the recipe.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!! It's a yummy comfort food and great as leftovers or frozen in individual serving to reheat for lunch on another day.

Stuffed Pizza Rolls by Holly Bludworth
Recipe from ourbestbites.com
1 roll refrigerated pizza dough (or your own) - can use regular or thin crust
marinara/pizza sauce
2T grated Parmesan cheese
1T. olive oil or melted butter
1/2t. garlic powder
1t. dried Italian seasoning
mozzarella cheese, diced or grated - I also use cheddar
pizza toppings of your choice: i.e., ham and pineapple, pepperoni slices, sausage, etc.
Preheat oven to heat specified on pizza dough package. Usually it's 400 degrees.
Unroll your pizza dough package. Pat or roll the dough so it's about 12" by 8". You're going to want to cut it into 24 squares. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 24 squares.
Place cheese and desired toppings on each square. NOTE: You're not putting the marinara sauce on the dough - it's for dipping after! Eyeball how much. You just need to be able to enclose the toppings in the dough so keep that in mind.
Carefully lift up each square and wrap the dough around the toppings. Pinch to make sure each ball is sealed shut and them place them seam side down in a lightly sprayed pie pan (or similar sized dish).
Brush the tops of the dough balls with olive oil or melted butter and then sprinkle with the garlic and Italian seasoning and top with Parmesan cheese.
Cook them for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Serve warm with warmed marinara sauce on the side for dipping and a side salad.
