3 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 tsp. salt

2 cups elbow macaroni

1/2 tsp. salt

1 cup milk

2 eggs

1 c. grated parmesan cheese

bread crumbs

Cook beef, onion, garlic, and the 1 1/2 tsp. salt in a large skillet until beef is well browned. Drain fat and stir in spaghetti sauce. Continue to cook and stir until mixture is thickened.

Cook macaroni following the instructions on the box. Drain. Melt butter in pan, stir in flour and salt. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk, continuing to stir until mixture thickens and bubbles. (about 1 minute.)

Butter a 9 inch pie plate. Sprinkle sides and bottom with bread crumbs. Spoon 2/3 of the macaroni mixture into pan. Spread into even layer, covering the bottom and the sides to form a "crust." Spoon meat mixture into center. I had some extra meat, so I spooned it into several ramekins. Sprinkle remaining macaroni mixture over top of the meat mixture and sprinkle with bread crumbs.

Bake @ 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until brown on top. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

3 cups cooked (shredded or cubed) chicken

4 tsp. olive oil

4 cloves minced garlic

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 16 oz. jar of roasted red peppers (coarsely chop them)

2 Tbsp. oregano

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

2 recipes of pizza crust, prepared

In a medium skillet, saute garlic in oil. Add broccoli, and cook until almost tender.

Remove from heat,

In a large bowl, broccoli, cheese, peppers, chicken, salt, pepper, and oregano.

Divide dough into 16 pieces. (8 pieces per recipe of dough)

On a floured surface, roll out each piece to make a 6 inch circle.

Spoon equal amounts of filling into each dough circle. Fold dough over filling, making a half circle. Press edges together with a fork. Make a small slit on the top of each pocket, to allow steam to escape.

Place pockets on greased baking sheets, and bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.

Cream Cheese Burgers

I do not have a picture to go with the recipe- but these burgers are much more flavorful than a regular burger. The cream cheese filling adds such a unique taste!

Cream Cheese Burgers

2 lbs. ground meat

1 chopped onion

4 T. chopped parsley

Mix together in a large bowl, and form into 12 patties.

Filling:

4 oz. cream cheese

4 T. chopped chives

1 clove of minced garlic.

Mix together, and spoon 1/6 of mixture onto 6 of the patties.

Take the rest of the patties, and place them like lids on the cream cheese topped patties. Press the edges together, and slightly flatten.

Grill burgers until thoroughly cooked.

Let me know if you try these!
