Spinach Patties

Mike had these spinach burgers at his friends house a few months ago. I finally got around to buying everything for them. I made them one day while he was at work so he could take them the next day for lunch.  He loved them. Marley even liked them too.

1 bag of thawed and well drained chopped spinach

2 egg whites

1 whole egg

½ c shredded cheese

½ c bread crumbs

1 tsp salt

½ tsp garlic powder

Mix all ingredients in a bowl.  Shape into patties and cook over medium high heat in a non stick skillet with a small amount of cooking spray. Cook until they are slightly brown and firm flipping as needed.

Bacon Wrapped Chicken

What's not to like about this recipe?! It does take 4+ hours to cook so make sure you've got time before you start cooking it. 

1 package bacon

Chicken tenderloins

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 cup sour cream

Wrap each chicken tender in a piece of bacon and place in baking dish.  In separate bowl, mix together cream of chicken and sour cream.

Spread mixture over top of chicken. Cover with foil and bake at 225 degrees for 4 hours. Remove foil and bake at 350 for 15-20 more minutes. 

It's not the best looking after it's cooked, but it was delicious! 

Mini Tortilla Pizza

These little pizzas are so cute. They were pretty delicious too.

3-4 tortillas

1 (15 oz) Can pizza sauce

3/4 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese

48 Mini pepperonis

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 12 count muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

Start by laying each tortilla out individually on a flat surface, and cut 3-4 medium circles out of each. 

Press each tortilla circle into muffin tin.  Drop about 1-2 tbs of sauce in each wrap.

Divide mozzarella cheese evenly over each mini pizza. Place mini pepperoni’s on top of each pizza.

Bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and lightly browned. Wait for pizzas to cool, and remove from muffin tin.

Cowboy Lasagna

This recipe is called cowboy lasagna, but after doing some searching it looks like the majority of the cowboy lasagna recipes are different than this one, either way it was still really good.

1 lb ground beef

1 tsp salt

dash pepper

1 tsp sugar

16 oz tomato sauce

8 oz wide egg noodles

3 oz cream cheese

1½ pints sour cream

½ cup cheddar cheese (I used mozzarella) 

Brown meat, garlic, salt and pepper. Add sugar and tomato sauce, cover and simmer 20 minutes. Mix sour cream and cream cheese.

Cook noodles and place 1/3 of noodles in a greased casserole and cover with 1/3 sour cream mixture and 1/3 tomato and meat mixture.

Repeat layers and cover with grated cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
