Works for me Wednesday

So toda I'm going to be joining everyone here and post recipes that requre 5 ingredients or less.


Breakfast Sausage Roll
1 package Jimmy Dean (or other brand) sausage
1 8 oz. package cream cheese
1 big and flaky crescent roll

Brown sausage in skillet. I add onions and garlic. Take off heat. Add cream cheese to cooked mixture. Spread out crescent roll then spread mixture on top of crescent roll. Roll up like a big cinnamon roll. Slice and bake until brown in 350 degree oven.



Tater Tot Casserole
1 lb hamburger meat
1 can cream of mushroom
1 package frozen tater tots
1 small package shredded cheese

Brown hamburger meat. Add spices to your liking. Add cream of mushroom soup. Arrange a layer of tater tots on the bottom of a casserole dish. (if you don't like that many potatoes, just leave them out of the bottom layer.) Add your hamburger mixture. Spread cheese on top of meat mixture, add another layer of tater tots to cover it up. Bake at 350 degrees until browned. Take out and add more cheese if you want to.

Another option is to substitute doritos (corn flavored) instead of the tater tots. Yummy!

Strawberry Delight

1 angel food cake
1 can of condensed milk
1 8 oz cream cheese
1 8 oz tub of cool whip
1 tub of frozen strawberries w/syrup ( You can also put strawberry pie filling, or fresh strawberries)

Mix milk, cream cheese and cool whip together. Cut of pieces of angel food cake and put on the bottom of a dish. Add cool whip mixture to the top of that. Top with strawberries. Repeat layers, ending with cool whip mixture. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Hot Beef Po' Boys

Hubster is diabetic, so lately, I've been trying to make sure that we eat healthy. I redo my recipes that I have been making for years to try to make them diabetic friendly. But grease and diabetes don't go well together.

Hubster is a meat and potato kind of guy. Salads are ok with him, but they've got to have lots of meat of chicken in them.

I found this recipe in a Diabetic Cooking book. It looked good, but boy does it really taste good.

I of course modified it somehow, because that's just the way I am. I'm weird.

I used 7 grain sandwich rolls and used more spices than the recipe calls for. We also like onions and garlic, so I used more than what it called for. But play with it and make it your own.
