Menu Plan Monday

Commit your work to the LORD,
   and your plans will be established. 
Proverbs 16:3

 I am still working on clearing out my fridge and pantry. Here are the recipes I came up with to help me accomplish this:

Monday - Pepperoni Pie

Pepperoni Pie

I tweaked this to use ingredients I already had on hand from a recipe shared by Laura at MPM last week.


1 unbaked 9-inch deep-dish pie shell
2 cups shredded pizza cheese blend, divided
1 (2-ounce) package pepperoni slices
1½ cups half-and-half (or milk)
3 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons Bisquick
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasonings

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese into the bottom of pie shell. 
Top cheese with half of the pepperoni slices.
Whisk together the milk, eggs, flour, garlic salt and Italian seasoning. 
Pour into pie shell.
Top with remaining pepperonis. 
Sprinkle with the remaining cup of cheese.
Bake for 40 - 50 minutes.

Tuesday - Crescent Chicken Bundles and mashed potatoes

Sauté onions in butter.
Combine sautéed onions, cream cheese, ham and Swiss cheese.

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...

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 ...

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!
