Cheeseburger Pie with Feta

So I have been an emotional wreck lately over doggies. If you even slightly you know me, you'll know that anything dealing with a dog will bring me to my knees. First case: As I'm driving to work over the 610 bridge I see a dog trotting along and scared beyond belief. Of course I pulled over and tried to help the dog. My faith in humanity was slightly restored because many others at least stopped so they would not hit him. Oh, it just tore my heart out. Even though I acted radically I would hope that if it was my dog someone would do the same to help her. Case two: my wonderful neighbor is a foster mom for a golden retriever rescue organization. We meet many of her "friends" and of course my dog befriends them as well. So this week she got a new friend that we heard was in a car wreck and one of his leg's had to be amputated. Granted he has adapted wonderfully and very happy; I just broke down sobbing like a baby and hugging this dog while I gave silent prayers that he would live a great life from here on.... 

Many folks think I'm crazy for the unexplainable bond I have with dogs but I've had a dog by my side since the day I was born and they bring such joy to my life. Also.... what is dog spelled backwards?!?!?!? Need I say more... 

Well to cope; I made an easy Bisquick recipe but changed it up with some Feta Cheese. The recipe is versatile so that you could potentially use some other available fridge items. I promise I'll make some fancy dinners soon.... I have a special one in mind for our Mother's Day dinner.
Cheeseburger Pie with Feta Recipe
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded cheese or Feta

  2. In a medium pan add your ground beef, onion and salt. Cook until ground beef is browned and onion is tender. Drain grease.
  3. Meanwhile combine cheese, Bisquick, milk and eggs. Mix well. 
  4. Spray a 9x13 backing dish with non-stick spray. Pour ground beef mixture into pan and spread evenly. Pour Bisquick mixture over top evenly. Top with more cheese if desired.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown or when an inserted toothpick will come out clean. 
  6. Serve with sour cream, salsa or sliced avocados.
Yield: 4 - 6 servings

Prep+Pared from Kroger - Citrus Garlic Chicken Saute

The past month has included some tough moments for our family. My daughter has had three back to back ear infections. My son had a stomach virus and I've been a basket case worrying about them! Today in life we always seem busy although I'm also very firm on the belief that we make time for the things that are important in our lives. I'm sure we all have those people in our lives that always claim to be so busy but instead of getting continuously frustrated I've realized that apparently we  are not that important to them. Even with all these busy times with my own family including getting my kids well we have always made time for family and the important things. Some of my short cuts during the busy times are easy dinners. I have a few I always keep in my arsenal of grocery and pantry items. Kroger has now introduced an easy and quick option for dinner called Prep+Pared. I've received a ton of coupons in the mail for the mail order dinner subscriptions. I've l

Taco Salad.... Ole'

We eat our fair share of Tex Mex food! However, I always think it's funny when we go to other places (outside the Houston, TX area) and we end up eating at a Mexican restaurant and we are sadly disappointed because it tastes nothing like at home. Tex Mex is a very different from traditional Mexican.  Queso is a staple in this area of the US. Everyone knows what queso is. It is not that cheese substitute they serve at ball fields with chips. I have a friend who could survive alone on just queso (You know who you are)!  Also, I have found that everyone rates Tex Mex restaurants based on their favorite thing there. For example, my mother-in-law bases her judgement based solely on their margaritas. My Mom bases her judgment based on their green sauce. My friend mentioned above bases her judgement on... you guessed it, queso. Me.... I'm a chicken fajita girl! Once the fajitas come I feel like Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator holding my thumb out for approval. On the first bit it ei

Flat Iron Steak with Veggie Sauté

Another yummy meal created with the help of Kroger's Prep+Pared meals. This was my husbands favorite. I felt on top of my health game making and eating this meal. The great long term advantage of making these meals are that you get to keep the recipe card that lists the ingredients and the recipe instructions which allows you to easily recreate the meal. I'm most definitely keeping this recipe and plan to make again. My kids ate the steak and the veggies (carrots and cauliflower). For this recipe I added a bit more butter to what was called for and added in some minced garlic when tossing the veggies together. Last week was tough for me when I found out about the news in Santa Fe HS. This hit too close to home and has shaken me to my core. I'm so protective of my children and cannot imagine the pain those families and affected kids are feeling right now. I do not know the answer and I think we as a community have more questions that answers. We live in a scary world o
