Ingredients:

• 1 Pillsbury refrigerated pizza crust
• 6 slices bacon
• 6 eggs
• 3/4 cup refried beans
• 1 cup shredded cheddar

1) Preheat oven to 400

2) While oven is heating, start cooking bacon. Cut it up before or after you cook, your preference.

3) Prebake crust for 8 minutes according to package directions

4) While crust is prebaking, continue cooking bacon. Drain grease when finished.

5) Scramble eggs, add to pan with bacon, and cook through.

6) Once pizza crust is done, let it cool a couple minutes. Cover with refried beans as “sauce”, top with eggs and bacon, then top with cheese.

7) Bake for 8-10 minutes more. Let cool a couple minutes before inhaling!

This recipe is so customizable! Use sausage, ham, or chorizo for the meat. Add in some peppers or change up the cheese. Use gravy or salsa for the “sauce”. Top with salsa, sour cream, thousand island (trust me on that!), ranch, etc. Or, my favorite, just use up what you have on hand!

Ingredients:

• 2 boxes macaroni and cheese (I suggest white cheddar if you can get it)
• 1 10oz container frozen chopped broccoli
• 2 cups shredded chicken
• 1 8.5oz can sweet peas
• 8oz cream cheese

1. Cook macaroni noodles

2. While noodles are cooking, put frozen broccoli and chicken (frozen is okay here too!) in 10” skillet over medium heat to thaw.

3. When noodles are done, drain as much water as you can from the pot. No need for a colander, a little water left is what we want to help make the cheese sauce.

4. Add noodles and cheese packets to 10” skillet with broccoli and chicken. Add in cream cheese and peas. Stir until warmed through. Season as desired.

The cream cheese may be optional if the macaroni you have is creamier and cheesier to begin with.

Next time I make this, I’m trying ranch seasoning. I feel like it can’t go wrong!

This dish is super easy to change up the veggies! Frozen mixed vegetables, anything fresh or canned that you’re craving… Use it as a base to get your fix or to use something up!

Ingredients:

• 8 thin cut pork chops
• Salt
• Pepper
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• A dash of garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon minced onion (I used the kind in a shaker, if you want to cut up teeny onions, more power to you)

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Place pork chops in a 9×13 baking dish. Season each side with salt and pepper.
3. Combine mayo, cheese, garlic powder, and minced onion in a bowl
4. Put a dollop of mayonnaise mixture on top of each pork chop, then spread to cover the top of each pork chop
5. Bake for 45 minutes

Don’t be surprised if this meal is prepped before the oven is done preheating!

A tray of veggies fits in the oven nicely to cook alongside these pork chops. I baked 3 yellow squash at the same time and was still done prepping before the oven was done preheating.

The thin pork chops I find are sold in packages of 4 making this recipe easy to cut in half if you don’t want leftovers, or to double for a big crowd.
