Something Simple
I always love these things when growing up and still do, the kid in us never leaves huh? I like them made with Crescent rolls to.
Pigs in a Blanket
8 frankfurters
8 slices American processed cheese
1 (10 ounce) package refrigerated biscuit dough
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Wrap cheese around each frankfurter then the biscuit around that. Put on cookie sheet with the overlap of biscuit faced down, so you don't have to use tooth picks.
Bake in preheated oven until biscuits are brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Mac and cheese is good about any time and I love it with this Pepper Jack Cheese.
Pepper Jack Cheesy Mac
2 cups (8 oz.) dry elbow macaroni
2 cups (8-oz. pkg.) shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded Pepper Jack cheese, divided
1 can (12 fl. oz.) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 to 1 cup broken tortilla chips (your choice of color)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
Cook Macaroni till about half done, drain water, add evaporated milk and cheese, when cheese is melted add pepper. Put broken chips on plate and dip mac and cheese on top. The chips can done different ways but this is how it was fixed for me, it was so good...
Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole
1 box Uncle Ben's Long Grain and Wild Rice (quick cooking or regular), cooked according to package directions
