Papa, Nama, and Grandpa & Grandma Durst came to visit us in Utah when Daniel was just six weeks old. Daniel decided to show off and learn to roll over while they were there. :) I remember Grandpa and Grandma Durst both holding Daniel and marveling at him. Grandma Durst could get him to stop crying when no one else could. She had the special touch.
This is one meal that we made early in their visit and we just kept adding more ingredients to the leftovers and heating it up again for lunch. This is a wonderful hot meal on a cool day.
Love Always,
Mommy

Heise Meatballs
Kathy Heise
2 lb ground beef
1 8oz carton sour cream
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 1/2 C bread crumbs
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/3 C flour
1 tsp paprika
1/4 C butter
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 C milk
hot cooked rice or noodles
Mix ground beef, sour cream, onion soup mix, bread crumbs and egg together in large bowl. Form mixture into balls and roll in flour mixed with paprika. Heat butter in large skillet, and brown meatballs. Blend soup and milk together and pour over browned meatballs. Cover and simmer for 20 mins. Serve over hot rice or noodles.
In the Crockpot:
Brown meatballs. Cover with soup mixture. Put on low for 2 1/2- 8 hours.
Serves 6-8
Uncle Jean-Luc used to ask for the "meatballs with cheese in them". This is what he meant. I never could get him to remember that there isn't any cheese in these. :) It has been a long time since we have had these. I used to make them frequently. I think it's time to make them again. It works well to take to church too.

2 eggs
1/3 C grated Parmesan cheese
5 TB butter, melted
15 oz ricotta cheese
4 C mozzarella, shredded
Preheat oven 350 degrees. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. In a large skillet, cook beef. Rejuivinate minced onion in twice as much cold water for 10 mins. Add onion to beef. Stir in spaghetti sauce and seasoned salt; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, parmesan cheese and butter. Drain spaghetti; add to egg mixture and toss to coat. Mix in ricotta cheese.

Garlic Beef Enchiladas
Belinda Weldon
Enchiladas
1 lb ground beef
1 med onion, chopped
2 TB flour
1 TB chili powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp rubbed sage
1 can (14 1/2 oz) stewed tomatoes
In a saucepan over med. heat cook beef and onion until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add flour and seasonings; mix well. Stir in tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 minutes.
Sauce
4-6 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 C butter
1/3 C flour
1 C chicken broth
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp rubbed sage
1/2 tsp salt
10 (7 inch) flour tortillas
2 C shredded Colby Jack cheese
In a different saucepan, saute garlic in butter. Whisk in flour and cook for a min. or two. Stir in broth and bring to a boil. Cook and stir until bubbly. Add tomato sauce and seasonings; heat through. Pour 1 1/2 C sauce into an ungreased 9x13 in" baking dish. Spread 1/4 C beef mixture in the center of a tortilla and top with 2 TB shredded cheese. Roll up tightly; place seam side down over sauce. Pour remaining sauce over the top. Cover tightly and bake at 350 degrees fro 35-40 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake uncovered until cheese is melted.
These are not hard to make but a little bit time consuming. This could easily be made in the morning and stored in the refrigerator until it's time to bake it for dinner. It's always good to look for ways to ease the dinner time prep. :) We got this recipe from Mrs. Belinda Weldon in Germany. We went to church with her at Eifel Baptist Church and she served these at one of our "Dinner 8" gatherings. "Dinner 8" was 4 couples who got together once a month for dinner hosted by one of the couples. The host was responsible for the main meal and everyone brought something to go with that. We would do this about twice a year, changing the groups around. It was a wonderful way to get to know the folks in our church. "Dinner 8" was a lot of fun and we have many fond memories of those times.

Mrs. Thrash's Meatloaf
Mrs. Michelle Thrash
1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 C milk
1/4 tsp ground sage
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp garlic powder
3/4 C quick oats
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all the ingredients together. Place into a 9x5 greased loaf pan. Bake in the oven for 1- 1 1/4 hours.
We had this at the Wilkes Team home and it is so yummy! The Wilkes eat this with barbecue sauce and rice. They also said that when Hannah Wilkes was little she really like to squish all the ingredients together in the bowl. What a great job for little hands!
Mommy has made this recipe in bulk and then frozen the meatloaves. Line the bread pans with parchment paper before adding the meatloaf and then freeze. When solid, remove the meatloaf from the pans and place in freezer bags. On cooking day, remove from freezer and place into greased bread pans in the morning. Allow to thaw then cook as directed. This is a great way to prep for dinner ahead of time.

Team Southerland has only made the Lasagna Hamburger Helper. We like it so much that it's been awhile since we have eaten the other versions. :) The Cheeseburger Mac, Beefy Noodle, and Beef Taco are all Mommy modified recipes. We used to make a different version of those recipes but lately we have been stuck on the lasagna one. So yum! An easy way to prep ahead for dinner is to place all the dry ingredients of one of these recipes into a ziplock bag or glass jar. Label with recipe name and cooking instructions. If you have fried up some beef in advance, this makes for a very fast and easy dinner. I have found that the recipes need a little more water or liquid and a bit longer cooking time.

That New Meal
Mommy modified from a recipe in Best of Country Slow Cooker Recipes
Originally called Beefy Au Gratin Potatoes
1 pkg. Au Gratin potatoes
Double of Cream of Whatever Soup (or two cans of cream of chicken soup)
2/3 C. milk
1 C. water
1 lb. ground beef
2 TB. dried, minced onion- rejuvenated
1 C. shredded cheddar cheese
Open package of Au Gratin potatoes, setting sauce mix aside. Place potatoes in bottom of the crock pot.
In a large mixing bowl, combine soup, milk, water, and powdered sauce mix; stir well to combine. Pour a third of the mixture over the potatoes.
In a skillet, cook the beef and onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink. Drain beef. Transfer beef and onion to the crock pot.
Top with remaining sauce mixture. Do not stir. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until potatoes are tender. Stir well and sprinkle with cheese. Cook a few minutes longer until cheese is melted.
Mommy first tried this recipe a long time ago when we lived in Utah. Daddy really liked it. He asked if we could call it "That New Meal". I said sure and asked why. He said, "So when you ask if we can have that new meal for dinner I can say 'yes' and not have to try something different!" :) Mr. Adventure when it comes to food is not a title Daddy wears. :) I usually double this recipe but still only used 1 lb. of beef to take to church lunches. It is a big hit. We all really enjoy this one. All of you children really like this one as well.

Tator Tot Casserole (or Hash brown casserole)
Mommy modified recipe
1 lb. hamburger
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 batches of homemade cream soup recipe with 1 1/2 C. cheddar cheese added
tator tots or homemade hashbrowns
Brown the hamburger in an oven safe skillet (I love my cast iron one). Add the cheesy cream soup and garlic salt and stir well. Top with frozen tator tots or homemade hashbrowns. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until mixture is bubbly and potatoes are browned. Sprinkle with additional cheddar cheese and cook 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Very easy and yummy!
Homemade Cream Soup (2 cans)
1/2 C. butter
1/2 C. flour
2 C. water
2/3 C. milk
4 tsp. chicken bouillon
1 1/2 C. cheddar cheese
Melt butter. Whisk in flour and chicken bouillon until smooth. Add water and milk. Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly. Stir in cheese.
We have been ordering from Azure Standard and we just ordered 100 lbs. of organic potatoes. We are making french fries, hash browns, and cubed potatoes for the freezer. We have about 65 lbs. completed. :) I have been making my hash browns the way Laura at Heavenly Homemakers makes them here:http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/make-your-own-frozen-hashbrowns. I guess I probably need to change this recipe name to hashbrown casserole as I haven't been buying tator tots lately. I looked at the ingredient list! :)

We have about 65 lbs. completed. :) I have been making my hash browns the way Laura at Heavenly Homemakers makes them here:http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/make-your-own-frozen-hashbrowns. I guess I probably need to change this recipe name to hashbrown casserole as I haven't been buying tator tots lately. I looked at the ingredient list! :)

Hamburger Hints
For several years now I have been browning up hamburger 7-10 lbs. at a time. Then I freeze it in 1/2 or 1 lb. quantities. This makes dinners that requiring browning hamburger first very simple. It is almost as easy to dirty up a couple of dishes and brown up a bunch of burger at a time as it is to brown up 1 pound.
Another hamburger hint- we also patty up several pounds of burger and then flash freeze them overnight on parchment paper lined cookie sheets. The next day we pull them off the parchment paper and put them in freezer bags. This makes it super easy to throw burgers on the griddle or grill for a quick meal.
Anything you can do to stream line the dinner making process will make it easier for you in the long run and result in less "I don't know what to do for dinner so we need to go out" situations. :)
I hope you enjoy the kitchen tips. I know you all will come up with even better ways to make things easier to prepare meals for your families.

Hot Cheesy Chip Dip
Mommy creation
1 lb. hamburger, fried and drained
2 lb. block of Velveeta
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 can Hormel meat only chili
Lots of tortilla chips
Fry and drain the hamburger; set aside. Cube the Velveeta and place cubes into crock pot. Add soup, chili, and hamburger to the crock pot and stir to combine. Cook on low for 2 hours or until Velveeta is melted. Stir well and put crock pot on warm to serve.
This recipe started out as a recipe on the back of a can of Rotel tomatoes and it has evolved into something completely different; so, it has become a Mommy creation. This is a yummy one to take to parties. This was also one of the famous Germany NASCAR party dishes. So yummy!
If there is any left over, this freezes really well. To serve from the freezer, run hot water over the container to loosen dip and place the frozen chunk in the crock pot. Turn crock pot on high for 2-3 hours or until melted. You can break up the chunk after about a hour to speed up the process. After dip is melted turn the crock pot to low.
