recipe review Cheeseburger casserole
Cheeseburger Casserole
Serves 6-8Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 (8 oz.) can refrigerated crescent dough sheet
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup (sharp) cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- black olives, pitted and chopped, optional
- Preheat oven to 375º F.
- In a large skillet or Dutch Oven over medium-high heat, brown ground beef until cooked through and no longer pink.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and drain off fat, leaving 1 tablespoon in the pan. Sauté onions until caramelized and golden in color. 10-12 minutes.
- Return beef to Dutch oven and add olives (if using), mustard, Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder.
- Season everything with salt and pepper and cook for another 2 minutes, then transfer mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish and stir in mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
- Unroll crescent roll dough and roll it out into a large, thin rectangle, that’s large enough to cover your baking dish.
- Place it on top of beef mixture and use a sharp knife to cute 2-4 slits in it, to allow steam to escape.
- Combine your beaten egg with 1 tablespoon water and lightly brush mixture over the top of your dough.
- Place in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Review - not going to make the cut. first off: i don't care for mustard.
This recipe had no tomato products and I think it was really missing that.

Life is tough and then you fight thru the crap
OK i ADMIT THAT LIFE HAS BEEN TOUGH.
So what is girl to do when she starts to get all the thoughts in her head. . . restart her blog and put them into words. Who knows what i will chat about but so far I am working my way thru a pinterest board of eating and crafts.
So lets start with a menu plan to keep me on track for eating. i seem to be on a Mexican kick right now.
Cheeseburger casserole
taco casserole
German mac & cheese - a celebration to my heritage (which is cheese spaetzel)
I need to look again i need like a crockpot meal something I can fix and heat while I am at cardiac rehab. Since most recipes leave a great deal of leftovers this is all i will plan to get started.
Again thank you for coming back and I look forward to reading your comments,
Laura

Sad days
The past few days I have been very sad. Thursday Oct 3 would have been my anniversary - 4 years. That leads to thinking and missing Greg.

New product Jif Whips
I recently saw a commercial for Jif Whips. A supposedly light peanut butter. And being a confirmed peanut butter fiend I had to try it. $3.59 with no coupon, 11 grams of fat; 2 being saturated fat, 60 milligrams of salt and 11 grams of carbs.
Ok not the best thing in the world to eat but oh so yummy. I choose the peanut butter and chocolate. When I purchased it it was "healthier" than the Nutella.
I will look for coupons but will buy it again without.
