We call these grilled cheeseburgers!
Make/cook hamburger Patties…. You want them to be able to fit a slice of bread after cooking, not too thick. In a separate pan I cook some onions in butter and olive oil. Once burgers and onions are done, assemble sandwiches to cook like a grilled cheese. For us that means, A slice of buttered bread, slice of cheese, burger, onions, another slice of cheese and another slice of buttered bread.

Tonight we made parmesean chicken sliders! I saw this idea on here a while back. Was very quick and cheap as well! Delicious.
Recipe:
Hawaiian sweet rolls
Frozen chicken patties
Marinara
Mozzarella cheese slices
Butter
Italian seasoning and parmesean
Fully cook patties before assembling sandwiches. Brush the top with melted butter mixed with the parmesean and Italian seasonings (to taste)
Bake about 7-10mins at 350! Yummy!

SUPER easy dinner and definitely my go to after a long day or when I’m not feeling good. Takes no longer than 10 minutes and can cook it all in one pot.
I used 2 boxes of Mac n cheese and 2 cans of chili beans (feeds a family of 6 with seconds for everyone), I would always eat it as a kid with bread and butter to make it more filling.
*you can add cut up hot dogs as well to make it even more filling*
This is a HUGE hit especially for my picky eater who lives on Nuggets and fries. In his words “this is bussin bussin” 🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂
Side note: they will survive having a cheat day with something “unhealthy”.

Cheesy taco pasta!
Boil 1 box of pasta (any kind works)(I used bow tie)

Melt the velveeta and salsa together, set it aside. Brown the hamburger, drain it and add the taco seasoning. Add the hamburger and velveeta to your cooked pasta and mix it really well. You can add shredded cheese and more salsa on top if you want!

Tonight’s dinner.. home made Chinese chicken fingers w a side of rice 😇
2 ingredients chicken breast or tenders and pancake mix and magic!
Edit: Cut your breast/tenders into thin pieces (to make sure they fully cook in the oil) and simply dip the cut pieces into pancake mix (pancake mix using the water)(coat well) and fry in oil! That’s all! I cook it on med heat and the chicken is fully cooked and the outside is crispy as pictured!
I use peral milling pancake mix, but it’s by preference
Trying my best to answer everyone’s questions lol!
