Hamburger Green Bean Casserole

Steph asked that I post this recipe. It's so easy & one of our favorites.

Ingredients:
1 # ground beef
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cut green beans, drained
8 servings of prepared instant mashed potatoes
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
paprika (optional)

Brown the meat and drain. Mix with soup. Spread mixture on the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Spread green beans on top, then mashed potatoes, then cheese. Sprinkle paprika on top.

Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Sausage and Summer Squash

This was another recipe that Jami had. It was quick, easy, and really good. Great summer recipe!

Ingredients

* 1/3 to 1/2 cup bottled Italian salad dressing
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 12 oz. cooked Polish sausage links, halved lengthwise, sliced diagonally
* 3 small yellow summer squash and/or zucchini, quartered lengthwise
* 4 wedges Italian flat bread, split
* 1/4 cup sliced green onions
* Fresh oregano leaves
* 1/4 cup coarsely shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat broiler. In small bowl combine dressing and garlic. In extra-large skillet cook sausage and squash in 2 tablespoons of the dressing mixture for 8 to 10 minutes or until sausage is heated through and squash is almost tender, stirring occasionally.

2. Meanwhile, place bread on broiler pan; brush with 1 tablespoon of the dressing mixture. Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat for 1 to 2 minutes, until lightly toasted.

3. Serve sausage and squash with toasted bread. Drizzle remaining dressing; sprinkle green onions and oregano. Pass Parmesan cheese. Serves 4.


Note: I didn't know what Italian Flat bread was. I used sourdough bread and it tasted great! I think any toast would do. Also, I didn't use fresh oregano leaves (I sprinkled a little of the ground cumin over it. I also used smoked Turkey sausage and it was delicious (a little healthier too).
