8 oz. sausage
8 oz. cream cheese, allow to soften slightly out of fridge
1 c. shredded mozzarella
2 c. dry macaroni
1 c.kalamata olives, diced

1 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. flour
1 tsp. sage
1/4 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 1/2 c. milk

about 4-5 roma tomatoes, sliced
Parmesan cheese

Cook pasta and brown sausage. Cube cream cheese. Combine cheeses, olives and warm pasta and meat in a large bowl. (The cheeses will start to melt with the heat of the pasta and meat.) In a saucepan, melt butter. Mix all the spices and flour together in a small dish and then add to the butter. Add milk. Stir until frothy and slightly thicker. Pour over meat/cheese/macaroni mix. Put in a baking dish that has a lid and bake covered at 350 for 35 min. Remove cover, put tomato slices on top and sprinkle on parmesan cheese. Bake 15 minutes more.

This is SO yummy! You're better off not knowing the nutritional information!

Pizza on the BBQ

By
We are addicted to pizza on the barbecue. It's the yummiest homemade pizza. You've got to try it while its still good BBQ weather. 1. Turn your grill to a really low setting. 2. Make your dough (any old recipe), gather pizza sauce and mozzarella and the toppings of your choice. I hear Fresh and Easy has a pizza dough you just buy in a little bag, all ready to go. 3. Spray a piece of wax paper (or foil) with Pam and roll out your dough to a size that will fit on your grill. 4. Carefully flip the dough onto your grill and close the lid. Get all your other ingredients outside. It only takes a couple minutes for the dough to cook. 5. Flip the dough over and quickly top the baked side with sauce, cheese and toppings. Bert and I always do this part together so it goes a little faster. Close the lid to melt the cheese but don't burn the second side. Sometimes we even turn the grill off but keep the pizza on the warm grill. Walla! Pizza on the BBQ. You'll feel like you work at ...

Baked Beans

By azandersens
So what if nobody has posted in a year and a half? I got this recipe from my cousin Carolyn and needed to type it up. I really love the contrast of the different beans in this one. Great for bar-b-q's and potlucks. 1 lb ground beef (I did not include this. To me, putting ground beef in baked beans turns it to chili.) 1 lb bacon 1 onion, diced 1 15 oz can butter beans, with liquid 1 15 oz can red kidney beans, drained & rinsed 1 15 oz can pork & beans 3/4 c brown sugar 1/2 c ketchup 2 tsp apple cider vinegar 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Brown bacon and drain. Cook onion in some reserved bacon grease. Combine the rest of ingredients and pour in a greased casserole dish. Bake uncovered at 350 for 1 hour.
