Pizza Joes

1 1/2 lbs hamburger
1/2 Tbsp dried onion
1 1/2 tsp italian spices
1 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese
18 slices turkey pepperoni
buns

Brown hamburger with dried onion. Drain. Add italian spices, garlic powder, & spaghetti sauce. Simmer 20 minutes on medium low. Cool and put into quart sized freezer bags. Package up grated cheese and pepperoni. Freeze all.

Cheese Stuffed Hamburgers

1 1/2 lbs of lean hamburger meat
1/4 cup seasond bread crumbs
1/2 Tbsp dried onions
1 tsp dried garlic powder
1 Tbsp dried parsley
1 Tbsp spoon worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1 tsp black pepper
Approx 1/2 cup shredded cheese

Stir with a spoon until just incorporated, try not to over mix, otherwise it can make the patties tough. Divide into 6 patties. Make an indent into each patty with your thumb and fill with 1-1/2 Tbsp of any kind of shredded cheese. I have tried it with blue cheese crubles, pepper jack, montery jack and chedder and they have all been tasty! Then fold patty in half, roll in a ball and reshape into a patty. Freeze. Store each patty in a square of aluminum foil.

To cook from frozen: Defrost in the refrigerator. Grill or fry hamburger patties to desired doneness. Serve on buns with slice tomatoes & pickles.

French Dip Sandwiches

1lb sliced roast beef
Provolone Cheese
French Onion Soup
Rolls

Cook the French onion soup in a pan over the stove. Add the meat to the pan for a couple minutes until hot. Remove the meat from the broth, leaving the broth to dip the sandwiches in later, and stack meat on rolls with cheese. (You can butter the rolls if you like, it tastes better, but obviously adds calories). Pop the sandwiches into a toaster oven or broiler on low until the buns get toasted and the cheese gets melty. (If you use a broiler, it can burn quickly so watch the sandwiches very carefully).
