To make it extra easy we used jars of Alfredo sauce and to make it extra tasty we used Swimmin’ in Smoke Booty Shake Seasoning.…

Our Favorite Mac & Cheese

Our Favorite Mac & Cheese by Patti Fisher

It’s been rainy and cold here. Comfort food was a must. Ken wanted macaroni and cheese, but it had to be extra cheesy with a crunchy topping. Patti said no problem and added bacon and broccoli to make it tastier and a bit healthy. Our Green Mountain Grill/Smoker added extra flavor along with their Green Mountain “Sizzle Seasoning…

Cheesy meatless ground round casserole

Cheesy meatless ground round casserole by Micheline

This casserole takes minutes to prepare, cooks in the oven for 90 minutes and voilà, a very tasty cheesy, meaty but meatless meal for your hungry family. This is my idea of comfort food.

Cheesy n' Crispy Shepard's Casserole

Cheesy n' Crispy Shepard's Casserole by Smokinhotchef

This recipe is a homage to the classic Shepard's Pie. A shower of cheddar cheese compliments the crisp crunchiness of tater tots that replace the traditional mashed potatoes. Crushed sour cream and onion potato chips add the starchy thickness to the filling. This one dish,three course meal goes scandeliciously with a simple green…

Chubby Tater Tot Casserole

Chubby Tater Tot Casserole by misty

A friend informed me that she uses country sausage for her tater tot casserole. This sounded amazing and inspired a deliciously naughty version. This is NOT diet friendly. I'll probably revamp it to find ways to lower the calorie level, but for now, it's SO good and SO bad. :)
