Hot Tuna Melts

This is like a hot tuna salad sandwich.  So yummy!!  I was making these for 6 people so I tripled the recipe.  They all got gobbled up!

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed Spanish olives, drained
  • 3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • 1 (5-oz.) can solid white tuna in spring water, drained and flaked
  • 2 English muffins, split and lightly toasted
  • 4 sharp Cheddar cheese slices

Preheat broiler with oven rack 5 1/2 inches from heat.  Stir together first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl: add tuna, stirring gently to blend.  Spoon on muffin halves; place on a baking sheet.

Broil 2 minutes.  (I left mine in for about 5 minutes.)  Top each with a cheese slice; broil 1 more minute or until cheese melts.

Makes 4 servings.  (I think it makes 2 servings.)

Bacon-Cheese Dogs

baconcheesedogsBacon-Cheese Dogs

  • Hot dogs
  • Bacon (not thick sliced)
  • String cheese (or similar stick cheese)

Slice cheese lengthwise into four pieces.  Cut a slit in each hot dog, from one end to the other, without cutting through the bottom.  Insert one piece of cheese into the slit of each hot dog.  Wrap in bacon; secure with toothpicks.  (I didn’t because I grilled them in my grill pan in the house.)  If grilling outside, you will want to use the toothpicks.

Grill until bacon is cooked through.

Yum!

coneysauceConey Sauce

This makes a large batch, but I like to freeze it so I have it for a quick meal.

  • 3 lbs. ground beef, browned and drained
  • 1 (28-oz.) can tomato puree
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons mustard
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon pepper, opt.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Brown and drain grease off beef.  Add the rest of the ingredients.  Bring to a boil and then turn down to simmer, cover and cook for about an hour.

Makes enough sauce for about 20 hot dogs.

* When I brown my ground beef, I use a fork to break it up.  A fork makes it very fine and you don’t have clumps of beef.

Ham ‘n’ Turkey Roll-ups

Wraps are my new sandwich of choice right now.  Very quick and easy lunch.  They would also be good with a bowl of soup.

  • 1 (8-oz.) container onion and chive cream cheese spread
  • 1/2 cup chopped bottled roasted red bell peppers
  • 6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • 3 cups firmly packed baby spinach leaves
  • 12 oz. sliced lean deli ham
  • 12 oz. sliced deli turkey breast

Stir together cream cheese and peppers in a small bowl until smooth.

Spread about 1/4 cup cream cheese mixture evenly over 6 tortillas.  Place 1/2 cup spinach on each tortilla.  Top evenly with ham and turkey slices.  Roll up jelly-roll fashion, and cut in half.  Secure each half with a wooden pick.

Serves 6.

Olive-Pimiento Cheese Spread

Olive-Pimiento Cheese Spread

This is my take on Pimiento Cheese Spread.  I made it today for lunch and everyone just loved it.  Make sandwiches with it or serve it as an appetizer.  I guarantee it’s addictive.

  • 4 cups (16 oz.) shredded sharp or extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 (4 oz.) jar diced pimiento, drained
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons green olive juice
  • 12 pimiento-stuffed green olives, diced

Put everything except green olives in the food processor and process until well blended.  Remove to a bowl and stir in diced olives.  Chill.

Serve as an appetizer with crackers, make sandwiches with or without the crusts, or put on top of a hamburger (I haven’t tried this, but sure does sound good).

Makes 4 cups.

Grilled Turkey Burgers

Deliciously healthy burger.  Add some light mayo, tomato and lettuce.  Sooo good!

  • 1 1/4 lbs. 93% lean ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
  • 4 whole-wheat deli flats or hamburger buns

Break the ground turkey into small pieces in a bowl and add the ricotta, Worcestershire, mustard, salt, and pepper.  Using your hands, mix until combined.

Divide the meat into 4 equal portions, then form each into a loose ball and gently flatten into a 1-inch-thick patty.

Heat oil in a large heavy skillet (preferably cast iron or stainless steel with an aluminum core) (I used a large grill pan) over medium heat.  Grill the burgers for 7 to 9 minutes on each side.  Insert instant-read thermometer into the side of the burger until it registers 160 degrees.  (Mine took exactly 7 minutes on each side.)

Remove from grill and serve immediately.

Makes 4 large burgers.

Sloppy Joe Calzones

Sloppy Joe Calzones

My 8-year old grandson, Caleb, had so much fun making these with me.  I know it is much easier to just make the sloppy joes and put them on buns, but this was something different and fun.  And delicious also, I might add.

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper, optional
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 cup tomato puree
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 can Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits
  • 1/2 to 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add onion and salt and cook until onion is soft, about 10 minutes.  Add the garlic and chili powder and cook, uncovered, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.  Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until just pink, about 3 minutes.  Don’t overcook.

Add pepper, if using, brown sugar, tomato puree, ketchup, water, and hot sauce.  Simmer until sauce thickens, 8 to 10 minutes.

Heat oven to 375 degrees.

Press each biscuit into 6-inch rounds.  Spoon 1/3 cup mixture onto center of round, add a tablespoon of cheese.  Fold dough in half over filling and press to seal.  Place on cookie sheet and bake 10 to 14 minutes or until golden brown.

Makes 8 calzones or (4 sloppy joes on buns)
