Bacon Cheeseburger Upside-down Pizza/Bisquick

Bacon Cheeseburger Upside-down Pizza

Since Larry grilled for us last night, we had the ingredients on-hand for the Bacon Cheeseburger Upside-Down Pizza I had planned for last night, and the Chicken Veg-all Casserole, I had planned for tonight. I allowed the kids to choose between the two. Guess what they picked? Bacon Cheeseburger Upside-Down Pizza, of course! Logan ended up eating with a friend after church, so it was just Larry, M.C. and me for supper. I didn’t cook the cheese sticks tonight since there was more than enough of the pizza for the three of us.

Ways I saved money:

I buy my ground beef in bulk packages.
I used store-brand cheese and pizza sauce.
I used a coupon on the Bisquick.
I bought the bacon during a BOGO (Buy One, Get One) special.
I don’t use a lot of recipes with specialty ingredients. I had pre-cooked and frozen both the ground beef and chicken. These things make it easy to be flexible with our meal plan when a change arises, without food going to waste.

Ways I saved calories:

I drained and rinsed the browned meat to remove as much fat as possible.
I used reduced-fat Bisquick. I usually only buy reduced-fat Bisquick. If I am preparing a dish that I want to have more fat, I just add a bit of oil or melted butter to the batter. This saves buying two different varieties of this product, and it’s one less box in the pantry.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant! When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...

They were a hit! These cake-like cookies are simply delicious! The brunt sugar icing is perfect! This was one of Wayne's mom's recipes. Be sure to take a look at Mrs. Carter's original recipe in her own handwriting . I love that! What a treasure! I have formatted the recipe to conform to my usual way of posting (Y'all have been able to tell I have a format, right?;) I do like Mrs. Carter's version better, though! I am sure her icing looked much neater than mine! The kids were rushing me. Lost was coming on! Thanks again for sharing this, Wayne! These are wonderful!! ½ cup shortening 1 cup dark brown sugar ½ cup regular sugar 2 eggs 2¾ cups plain flour 1 cup undiluted Carnation evaporated milk 1 teaspoon vanilla ½ teaspoon soda ½ teaspoon s...
