Well it's here... the first day of school and dance classes all on the same day. Back to serious meal planning and making sure every meal fits the schedule.
Does anyone else go to the grocery store the day before school? I learned way before I had children to stay away from the grocery store the day before school starts but couldn't avoid it today. It's right up there with Thanksgiving and Christmas. We usually shop on Saturday or Sunday so it wasn't foreign for me to be there. Unlike the major holiday's it makes me wonder why it is so busy. What have you been feeding your kids all summer? After being there for two minutes I was yelled at while saying hello to a friend. It was shortly after that I decided to hunker down, put a smile on my face and recited the mantra of "be the example". The cereal aisle was too scary to stop but I got a minute of peace in the chip aisle. It's a jungle out there.
Here's what we are having for dinner this week:
Sunday: State Dinner - Pepperoni Rolls and Salad
Monday: Cheeseburger Pie
One the of the girls favorite for the first day of school.
Our good friend made this for us a few years ago and it instantly became my oldest daughters favorite. She asks for it for every birthday. When our friend made it she forgot the sour cream. The first time I made it I followed the recipe but we all agreed we liked it better without it so that's how I have made it from now on.
Ingredients:
1-1.5 lbs ground beef
2 Pillsbury dough crescent roll tubes
1 pint sour cream
1 small can of mushrooms (optional)
1/2 of an onion chopped
8-10 slices of Am. cheese
Cooking Spray
1 Tbsp of oil
Instructions:
Pre-heat oven to 350/
In a frying pan, add oil and cook onions over medium heat until almost clear. Then add in ground beef (and mushrooms) and cook until beef is almost done. Drain as much as the liquid as possible. Spray the bottom of a 13x9 pan with cooking spray. Spread out both tubes of crescent rolls making the crust even, without holes along the bottom of the pan/baking dish. When beef mixture is done and drained, stir in the entire pint of sour cream and mix well. Place that mixture evenly on top of the uncooked crescent rolls. Place the American cheese slices over the top of the beef and sour cream mixture covering the top, and bake on 350 for about 20 minutes or until the bottom of the crust is light brown.
