Bacon Cheeseburger Crescents - Football Friday

These Bacon Cheeseburger Crescents are a great tailgating snack.  They have all the flavor of a bacon cheeseburger without the hassle of grilling burgers in the parking lot.  These are easy to customize to your personal taste.  Next time I might add some diced tomatoes and pickles or jalapeños to the meat mixture.  We served these with some ketchup, mustard, ranch and BBQ sauce for dipping.  These crescents were a huge hit at our tailgate!  Everyone loved them!  If you aren't tailgating, these crescents are great for lunch or a quick dinner.  They also freeze well.

Spaghetti Casserole

This Baked Spaghetti Casserole is SOOOO GOOD!  Seriously!   It might be my favorite baked spaghetti recipe on the blog.  This was recommended by my parents.  They ate it and just raved about it.  We had to give it a try!

This recipe makes enough for 6 people.  I was skeptical because this was made in an 8x8 pan, but it was enough for 6 servings.  We ate this for dinner and lunch the next day.  I froze the last two pieces and we ate them on another night.  It tasted great every time!

Bourbon Basted Pork Chops

These pork chops were incredible!  They were super simple to make and tasted delicious.  We are really getting into grilling pork chops.  They are so easy to grill that even I could do it!  Chicken Legs cooks them for 6 minutes on the first side, flips them over and lets them cook for 5 more minutes.  Easy peasy!

I made the marinade the night before and let the chops marinate in the fridge until we were ready to grill.  They don't need to marinate that long, but I always think the longer the better!  I was worried that the soy sauce was going to be too overwhelming, but it wasn't.  The pork chops were so tender and juicy.  We served this with our favorite Gnocchi Mac and Cheese.  These chops are not to be missed!

BBQ Chicken Cornbread Bake

This BBQ Chicken Cornbread Bake was inspired by one of my favorite corn casserole dishes - scalloped corn.  I tweaked the corn casserole and topped it with some BBQ chicken and cheese.  All of my favorite things!  YUM!  It was so delicious!

This dish came together in no time.  I used a box of Glory Cornbread Mix and some rotisserie chicken.  It takes longer for the oven to preheat than to prep this dish.  I used Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce because that is what was on sale at Publix last week.  This was very filling and super delicious.  It was even great reheated for lunch.

Corn Dog Muffins - Football Friday

It tailgating time again!  I've seen these corn dog muffins all over Pinterest and decided to give them a try.  I  made the cornbread from scratch, but you could use a box of cornbread mix if you prefer.  These were quick and delicious!  Chicken Legs doesn't like hot dogs, but agreed that these corn dog muffins were excellent.  They are great for watching the big game or even dinner.  Serve them with some mustard or ketchup for a crowd pleasing great snack!

Taco Casserole

This recipe is adapted from one of my favorite cookbooks - Homestyle Cooking from Southern Living.  This was so easy to make.  I made the meat mixture the night before and assembled the casserole when I got home from work.  This was on the table in no time!  We both loved this dish, but how could you not with taco meat, cheese and Doritos!  You could also use the filling as a quick dip for tailgating - just leave out the crushed Doritos and serve with chips.
