Grilled Cheese Roll Ups

My boys loved this spin on a grilled cheese. We ate ours just like you see in the above picture, but these would be delicious dipped in a hot bowl of tomato soup during these cold months. How do you like to eat your grilled cheese? Do you add meat, veggies, or a combination of cheeses? I'd love to hear!

Ingredients:
6 slices of bread (flattened)
1 Tablespoon of butter
american cheese

Directions:
Flattened you bread with a rolling pin so it's easy to roll.
Place a slice of american cheese on the bread and roll it up.
Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat.
Start grilling your rolls in the melted butter with the seam side down to seal.
Grill until the cheese is melted and the bread is slightly toasted.

Enjoy!

Slow Cooker Italian Roast Beef Sandwiches

Hi friends! I hope everyone has had a great Monday. :) You will have to excuse me for not posting as much lately. We are in the process of selling our home in Austin TX and moving to San Antonio TX and my mind is consumed with the moving process. It has been a stressful few months as we have been having to make some pretty big decisions. I know that change is a good thing, but I am a creature of habit and loving the comfort of knowing where everything is in my grocery store!! HA! Are you that way??? Every time I go to the store I always start on the left of the store and have a certain pattern for shopping. I'm going to have to learn a new store!!! NO!!
I know there are far worse things in this world that I could be having to worry about and feel very blessed that this is one of my biggest worries right now. I would love your prayers though that the transition of moving goes smoothly for all of us, especially my little boys. I worry so much about them.
Since we have been busy I have been trying to find delicious easy recipes. I love being able to just put something in the slow cooker in the morning and have it been done by dinner. And let it do all the work!! I hope you have the chance to make these sandwiches. You won't be disappointed. Have a great rest of your week. :)

Ingredients:
4 pounds roast beef
1 (12 oz) bottle of Balsamic Vinaigrette
1 envelope onion soup mix
Italian seasoning to taste
buns or rolls

Directions:
Spray your slow cooker with non stick cooking spray. Combine your vinaigrette, soup mix, and Italian seasoning. Place your roast in the bottom of your slow cooker and pour the combined seasonings over your roast. With your lid on the slow cooker cook on low for 8-10 hours. Once the meat becomes easy to pull a part remove from the cooker and shred. Return to the juices in the cooker and let it cook on low until ready to serve. Serve on buns or rolls.

Gluten Free Muffelatas

My sweet mom at the age of 63 was diagnosed this summer with severe Celiac disease. She is six feet tall and got down to a very scary weight of 103 before the doctors ever were able to figure out what was wrong. Our whole family was terrified that something very serious was wrong and were all scared to death for her. She suffered for six long months trying so hard to figure out what was going on.

So, after me insisting that she have every test in the books run so we could get some answers we finally got the diagnosis. She called me in disbelief to tell me that after all these years she has Celiac!  I was over joyed!! Praise the Lord!! This illness we could work with!! I knew that it would change her lifestyle and be hard but we were going to have her with us and that was all that mattered to me.

I love cooking for my family when they come to visit. Unfortunately though most of my recipes have gluten in them. :( So each time they visit I am on the search to find delicious gluten free meals to make for her that we can all eat and enjoy. So far everything that I have made that is gluten free has turned out really good. I will be sharing the recipes here with you. You can find them all using the gluten free tag over on my right side bar.

The muffelatta sandwich is so good!! I have always loved the olive mix and this recipe tastes just like the one I had in New Orleans if not better. This sandwich is practically all gluten free except for the bread. My mom LOVES Udi's gluten free bread so that is what she ate her sandwich on. When looking at this recipe I wasn't sure which meats would be gluten free, if any. But when I went to my local grocery store I learned that ALL of Boars Head meats and cheeses are gluten free. I was a amazed!! Their meats are so fresh and delicious. It's what I always buy anyway and now I can continue to serve on sandwiches when my family is in town.

Since my moms diagnosis she hasn't been sick for one day! Isn't that great!! She has put on thirty pounds and feels wonderful. She loves her new diet and how it makes her feel. I hope that you come back to see what great gluten free meals that I have found and am sharing with my mom. Hope everyone has a great week!

Patty Melts

 

 Last week I served these up for us during the Texas football game. Our team hasn't been doing really good so far this year so I made us some good ole comfort food to get us through another game. These sandwiches helped my hubby forget about the game for a little bit. ;)

Ingredients

• 1 stick Butter
• 1 whole Large Onion, Halved And Sliced
• 1-1/2 pound Ground Beef
• Salt And Pepper, to taste
• 5 dashes Worcestershire Sauce
• 8 slices Swiss Cheese
• 8 slices french bread

 Directions:

Start your grill to medium heat.
In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Throw in the sliced onions and cook slowly for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and soft.

In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, salt & pepper, and Worcestershire. Form into 4 patties.
Take your patties out to the grill and cook the patties on both sides until totally done in the middle, or to however you like your ground beef cooked.
After you have cooked your meat bring them inside and assemble you sandwiches.
Take your bread, a slice of cheese, one of the hamburger patties, 1/4 of the cooked onions, another slice of cheese, and lastly another slice of bread. In a clean skillet melt 2 tablespoons of butter and grill the sandwiches over medium heat until golder brown.  Remove the sandwiches and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Turn the sandwiches to the skillet, flipping them to the other side. Cook until golden brown and crisp, and until cheese is melted.

Slice in half and serve immediately!

Chicken Salad

 

Ingredients:

seasoned shredded chicken
mayo
grapes cut into halves or quarters
1/2 cup of pecans
1/2 cup of sliced celery
cheese slices
croissants

Directions:

When I make chicken salad I like for my chicken to be seasoned. I love buying a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and using it to make chicken salad. It's so yummy! Today, however, I was craving a different flavor. I was wanting something that would give my chicken a tangy kick with a little bit of sweet. While shopping I found Lawry's Hawaiian seasoning and gave it a try. It turned out to be just the flavor I was looking for.

I placed 5 small chicken breasts in my slow cookers and poured the seasoning over each side of the breasts. I then let it cook on low for about five hours. I let it cook until I can easily pull my chicken a part with two forks.

After shredding your chicken add your grape halves, pecans, celery, and enough mayo to lightly cover the whole salad.

I love chicken salad on a croissant with cheese. My husband loves to add a tomato & lettuce. It's all up to you....  How do you like to eat your chicken salad? I'd love to hear. :)

All American Burger Dogs

 

Isn't this the most fun way to eat a hamburger?!?! Make it a Burger Dog!! I ran across this idea on All Recipes and knew immediately that I wanted to make these for my family. I will tell you that they all laughed at me when I told them what we were having for dinner, but NOBODY complained once they started eating. Everyone said, "These are actually really good!" Not sure what was different (because we made them the exact way we make our regular burgers), but I think the fun presentation made them more enjoyable than just a round patty and round buns. ;)

Ingredients:

2 lbs extra lean ground beef
8 hotdog buns
hamburger seasoning (we used Lawry's) 
shredded cheese
dill pickle relish
mustard
mayo
ketchup
onions
lettuce
tomatoes

Directions:

Heat your grill. Make your ground beef into the shape of a hotdog. Season your meat.

Cook on the grill until your meat reaches your desired doneness.

Place patty inside of a hotdog bun and top with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!! ;)

Grilled Chicken Club

 

Now, I know that everyone knows how to put together a grilled chicken club sandwich. But, what I don't know is if you have discovered the secret to MY grilled chicken clubs... ;) That are so so good!
My secret is marinating the chicken breasts in McCormicks Grill Mates, Garlic Herb & Wine Marinade.

We have loved this seasoning for several years now and it never seems to disappoint us. This is a sandwich that is easily loved by the whole family. For our little guys though we leave off most of the veggies, but they still enjoy the great tasting chicken!!

Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Garlic Herb & Wine Marinade
Canola Oil
White Vinegar
Sandwich buns
Lettuce
Tomato
Avacados
Pickles
Mayo or Mustard
Swiss Cheese

Directions:

1. Marinate your chicken according to the package directions.
2. Grill your chicken for 6-10  minutes a side or until the juices run clear when you cut into the thickest part of your chicken. (or you can cook until the edges are crispy, that's how we like it!)
3. Right before your chicken is done, place cheese on the chicken and let melt.
4. When cheese is melted remove from grill and layer your sandwich in which ever order you like. :) 

Shredded Buffalo (sauce) Chicken in the crock pot

Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast
1 bottle of Franks Buffalo Sauce
1 Packet Hidden Valley Ranch Powder
2 Tablespoons Butter

Directions:
Throw the (frozen or thawed) chicken breast in the crock pot, top with 3/4 bottle of Franks Buffalo Sauce, add packet of ranch powder.

Cook on low for 6 hours. After 6 hours, shred chicken with two forks.

Add butter, stir, cover and cook for another hour to let the chicken soak up the sauce.

If you love buffalo sauce then you will LOVE this shredded chicken! YUM! You could use this shredded for many different things. You could place on top of a baked potato, salad, or inside a hoagie roll (like I did). :) I placed the chicken inside the roll and topped with a slice of Colby Jack cheese. Then, popped it in the broiler for about 5 minutes until the cheese melted and it was a little crispy on the outside.

Philly Cheesesteak

Ingredients:

• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 pkg onion soup mix
• 1 lb. Black Angus rare roast beef (I buy Boars Head roast beef thinly sliced from the deli)
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large white or yellow onion, sliced
• 8 oz. cream cheese 
• sliced provolone cheese (2 slices per sandwich)
• 3-4 hoagie rolls

Directions:

Bring beef broth and onion soup mix to a boil.

Add roast beef, reduce heat, and simmer for about 5-10 minutes. In the meantime, in a large skillet saute onion and green pepper.

When beef is done simmering, drain juices (you can keep the juice if you want to make an "au jus" dip.) Add roast beef to skillet along with about 4 oz. of cream cheese. (I omit the cream cheese and it is still very good)

Generously portion the beef, onion, and green pepper mixture onto each hoagie roll.

Top with provolone cheese and place sandwiches, open-faced on a large baking sheet.

Broil on high for about a minute or until cheese becomes bubbly and bread becomes slightly toasty. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Thank you Favorite Family Recipes for this delicious sandwich. :)
