What's Cookin Wednesday, January 23rd

Happy Hump Day, friends! I hope everyone is having a great week! At least once a week, I try to do a meatless meal or two. This week, I have decided to use a recipe that I haven't made in quite some time. I found this recipe several years ago from Moms with Crockpots. The original recipe calls for corn, but as I have a child with an allergy to corn, I substitute it for bell pepper. The recipe, as modified, is shown below:

What's Cooking Wednesday, May 7, 2025

I hesitate to even call this a recipe. I have been making this super easy, but versatile recipe for years. My ex-grandmother-in-law made hers spicier, but for my young one (at the time I started making this) wasn't a fan of spicy foods. So I created a cheeseburger variety of the meat pie. It's simply Grands biscuits, hamburger meat and cheese. I believe she used the standard biscuit, but I have been using Grands for years. You can absolutely change this up to use different ingredients, but it's a family favorite so I haven't changed it much. I may do a different variety soon to bring to you!
