Bacon, Egg & Cheese Quesadillas

eggs
real bacon bits
shredded cheddar cheese
pepper
picante sauce
fajita size flour tortillas


Using a non-stick skillet, add an egg, some bacon bits and pepper. Cook egg & bacon on medium heat just until done. Turn off heat. Add some picante sauce and cheddar cheese. Take one flour tortilla and fold in half, then using a spatula, scoop the egg mixture inside the tortilla, laying the mixture on one side, then fold over the other side and place in skillet. Turn heat back on and cook each side until tortilla starts to brown and cheese starts to melt. These are sooooo easy and sooooo good.

Bacon Cheddar Burgers

Simply the best burgers at home I've ever had...These are full of flavor, thick, juicy and the meat doesn't shrink while cooking.

Angus bacon & cheddar patties (I found them at Walmart in the freezer section)
hamburger buns
salt
pepper
optional toppings: lettuce, tomatoe, sliced jalapenos, sliced onions, pickles, mayo, mustard, ketchup.

Preheat a non-stick skillet on high. Add semi-thawed patties, I cook 3-4 at a time.
Salt & Pepper each side and allow each side to cook for a few minutes on high without turning to seal in the juices and allow to brown. Cook a few additional minutes on each side allowing the patties to cook evenly. When juices run clear, and you see no pink, the patties are done.

Easy Chili Cheesy Nachos

Sundays have become chili cheese day at my house, and usually it's chili cheese nachos. Yum!


tortilla chips
Ricos nacho cheese sauce (the spicy flavor)
Hormel chili no beans
sliced jalapenos and diced onions (optional)



I heat the chili and cheese sauce in microwave safe bowls for about 2 minutes each, then stir.
Layer some tortilla chips on a paper plate, then top with chili, cheese and additional toppings if you like. Heat in the microwave for about 40 seconds so everything is good and hot when you're ready to eat.

Pink Lemonade Cookies

These are new from Pillsbury, just mix, bake, frost and eat...so delish!

Anytime Egg Burritos

This is a family favorite, my boys love these and they are so easy for them to just pop in the microwave, heat and eat.

fajita size flour tortillas
scrambled eggs with a little milk and butter
picante sauce
shredded cheese

additional ingredients to add in if you want:
browned breakfast sausage, bacon pieces, diced veggies such as bell pepper, onion and mushrooms, etc. You can pretty much do whatever you like.

In a large non-stick skillet, I add a little milk and butter then my eggs and scramble.
I take a tortilla, add some cheese, then eggs, then picante sauce and either heat and eat right then and there or I wrap in individual snack size bags for heat and eat Anytime of the day or night, store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or in the freezer for a month. You can thaw out and heat a few seconds at a time so you don't over heat. Ours usually don't last long enough to freeze, lol.
