Friday Fare!

Mrs. Nurse Boy here.

It is Friday and we have had a long week. Sweet Pea started the week off with a GI bug that wore the both of us out and then we ended the week with yet another garage sale.

I just love it when I can make money on my JUNK! It simply makes my day. Plus, I love to purge. I hate to fill the basement, garage, and closets with things we "might" need in the future. Nope. Not going to do it.

I remember a sermon from a long time ago when we discussed that one might own too much stuff if you can't maintain everything you own. Honestly, I think that is a tall order since my van seems to always resemble a dumpster on wheels, but it is time to get rid of the stuff that has remained dusty all year.

On to dinner for tonight. I need something easy and simple. Today I am using BEEF. After all, it's what's for dinner! I kind of stole this from Rachel Ray, but I simplified it. She rambled on about homemade dough, some sort of egg wash, and certified organic ingredients.

Whatever.

She doesn't have three kids who are certain they are STARVING once she starts to cook dinner.

What does she know?

Cheeseburger Roll Up
Ingredients for one Roll Up:
About 1 lb of lean ground beef
Ketchup
Mustard
Relish
Grated Cheese
Pizza Dough in a tube--how is that for easy, Rachel Ray?

First, brown your ground beef. While it is cooking, add whatever you would normally add to flavor your burgers. For me, that is dried parsley, dried onion, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Once it is browned, remove from heat and drain any fat that might be left in the pan.


Next, add ketchup, mustard, and relish to taste. Mix well. Go ahead! Taste it!

Now, roll out your dough and cover it with about a pound of the prepared beef, leaving about an inch all around. I know, you can tell I am no Rachel Ray by looking at the picture. Can you say, "IN A HURRY?"

Add cheese. YUMMO! Tuck the top and bottom. Now, roll from left to right until it looks like this:

This is where she rambled on about some egg wash. I just put two slits in the top and made sure the seam was on the bottom.

Bake according to the instructions on the tube you just threw in the trash.

That's right.

Go dig it out of the trash can.


Here is the finished product. We had it with roasted veggies. It really tastes like a cheeseburger. You can even make extra and freeze a roll up or two!

Now I am hungry. Hope you all have an awesome weekend!
