Baked Spaghettio's Casserole

I got this great idea from here.

What a great, easy, inexpensive comfort food meal! So I made a few changes and here is the concoction I used below. It might seem kind of silly, but it's very tasty.

Ingredients:
4 cans Spaghettio's (I used store brand)
1 lb ground turkey
1 medium onion, chopped
salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder to taste
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, divided
2 cups grated cheese, divided (I used Mexican blend that was in the fridge)

Instructions:
In a large skillet, brown turkey and onions. I always add some seasoning while I'm browning meat. Drain if necessary. Pour all four cans of Spaghettio's into skillet. Add 1/4 Parmesan cheese and 1 cup shredded cheese and stir well. Then add seasonings as desired and stir again. Pour into 9 x13 baking dish. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and 1 cup shredded cheese over top of casserole. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

Serve with salad or other veggies and garlic toast if desired.

Biscuit Cups

I have tried this recipe a couple of times using different ideas and they've come out great each time.

Pizza Cups

2 (6-count) containers small refrigerated biscuits

1 cup cooked turkey sausage (or chopped pepperoni)

Bake at 375 degrees F for approximately 14 minutes.

To make Chili Cups

12 biscuits (same as above)

1 1/2 - 2 cups chili

Corn Dog Handwiches/Muffins

DH fell in love with this Cuisinart Sandwich Grill one day when were in Belk. So of course we got it. Turns out it's more versatile than originally anticipated. I found some recipe ideas for making corn dog muffins and corn dogs in the sandwich grill and have been dying to try them out. So today I did.

Ingredients:
1 package buttermilk corn bread mix (the only-add-water kind), prepared
according to package directions
1/2 cup shredded cheese, or more if desired
3 of your favorite hot dogs, sliced thinly (We like Ball Park Smoked White Turkey Franks)
ketchup and mustard for dipping

Instructions:
I mixed all ingredients together. Then I filled the wells of the sandwich grill evenly and closed the lid. About 5 minutes later we had perfectly cooked corn dog handwiches. Yum!

Don't worry, though. You can make these as corn dog muffins in a muffin tin if you don't have a sandwich grill like me. In fact, I often just use the muffin tin (results shown above) myself so I can cook all the batter at one time.
