Amazinginly Easy Hamburger Rollup

Surprisingly better than it looks! It's one of our favorites!

Ingredients:

1 roll of Pillsbury refrigerated pizza dough

1 lb hamburger

1 bunch green onions

Crumbled bacon

Shredded cheese

Directions:

Cook hamburger in pan. When almost done, add the bacon and chopped up green onions. Meanwhile, open pizza dough and roll out to a bigger rectangle (I do it the size of my rectangular Pampered Chef baking stone). Take cooked meat and spread it all across the pizza dough. Sprinkle with cheese (amount to your liking). Roll up the long side to the other long side. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes.

If wanted, when you take it out, spread a little margarine on top and sprinkle with Lawry's Seasoning Salt (our favorite seasoning)

Enjoy with ketchup and mustard!

Beefy Salsa Mac

An easy, fast meal that the kids will eat! I like to serve with corn and homemade bread.

1 lb ground beef
½ to 1 cup Salsa (I only use ½ to 1 cup)
2 cups water
1 package (14.5 oz) Macaroni and Cheese
½ cup mayonnaise

Lazy Dazy Cake

I use this cake for shortcakes (strawberry!) and pineapple upside-down cake. It tastes 1000 times better than a mix or store-bought shortcakes and only takes about 3 minutes to mix together.

1 C Sugar
2 eggs
1/2 C Milk
1 C Flour
1 t Baking Powder
1/4 t Salt

Mix all ingredients about 2 minutes and bake in a 9x9 pan for 30 minutes at 375*. (easily doubled) The recipe also comes with a broiled topping (I never do the topping because to me it tastes better with cool whip, fruit, or frosting):

2 T Butter
1/2 c Brown Sugar
1/2 C Nuts or Coconut

Mix together and put on baked cake and place under broiler until golden. (the topping burns easily)
