Helpful Tips to make Taco Cheese Stuffed Meatballs:

• Do not overmix the meat or you can end up with tough meatballs.
• Use a cookie dough or ice cream scoop to get uniform meatballs.
• Be sure to fully seal the cheese within the meatballs or all of the cheese will ooze out while broiling.
• To make extra meatballs to keep in the freezer, double or triple this recipe. Transfer extra meatballs to a rimmed baking sheet and freeze completely. Then transfer frozen meatballs to a ziploc bag or container.
• This recipe makes a mild flavored taco meatball. If you prefer extra taco flavor, double the amount of taco seasoning.

What you will need to make Taco Cheese Stuffed Meatballs:

• Large mixing bowl- You will need a bowl large enough for the ingredients and your hands.
• Sharp knife- This recipe requires the cheese to be cut into cubes. A good, sharp knife is always handy to have in the kitchen.
• Rimmed baking sheet- used for everything from cookies to roasting, a good baking pan will last for years.

Enjoy!

Meat Lovers Pizza Pinwheels

Easy Pizza Pinwheels are loaded with your favorite meat lovers toppings for the perfect grab and go game day snack! The best part is you can make them ahead and freeze them for a simple meal anytime.

 

We are so excited to be partnering with our friends at Jones Dairy Farm to bring you a scrumptious breakfast (or brunch) recipe. With overnight instructions, it is perfect for everyday, starring one of my favorite ingredients: Antibiotic Free No Sugar Chicken Sausage Links!

These days we are all paying more attention to labels with Jones Dairy Farm you know you are getting great quality and incredible flavor.

These great tasting all-natural chicken sausage links are a perfect addition to these pinwheels.They have no additives like sugar, nitrates, MSG or artificial flavors and are packed with 10 grams of protein per 3 link serving.

They are also precooked so I can cut them up and add them to whatever I am cooking or pop them in the microwave. All around, a protein that I can feel good about feeding to my family.

How to Make Pizza Pinwheels

Pizza is such a popular game day food, but these pinwheels are sure to kick up the fun factor! The dough is slightly crisp on the outside and tender inside. It’s like unrolling a little piece of heaven wrapped in marinara, your favorite meat toppings and ooey gooey cheese.

Simply roll out your favorite dough. Top with your favorite marinara, I use this homemade sauce but store bought is perfect too. Then scatter your chicken sausage, bacon, beef and pepperoni over the sauce.

You can make rows of the toppings, but I love to get all of them in each bite. Especially those scrumptious chicken link coins! {{swoon}}.  Sprinkle with cheese. Lots of cheese. Then you roll it up and slice it into 12 pinwheels. Easy peazy!!!

How do I Make Pizza Dough

I use a really simple pizza dough with only 5 minutes of rise time. The trick is to make it a little sticky so it can rise in the oven.

But, honestly, if you are short on time, you can even substitute store-bought pizza dough.

The best part is that you can make them ahead and warm them to serve when you are ready, which makes them party-perfect! Easy party + fun food = happy mama!

Swoon! Everyone went nuts over these. Munchkin loves them anytime she can get them; I mean, hello, they are pizza!

These pinwheels are the perfect grab and go meal too. We made these while my dad was here visiting from Florida and they were just what we needed as we dashed out the door for fun family time.

I will let you all know that you can pick up Jones Dairy Farm products at your local retailer.

The company’s products are distributed nationwide, so be sure to check out their product locator so see where you can pick some up.

If you’re looking for the breakfast sausage, it’s in the freezer section.

Helpful Tips to make Meat Lovers Pizza Pinwheels:

• These freeze wonderfully. Simply allow them to cool to room temperature after baking. Store in a gallon-size zip-top bag in the freezer. When you are ready to eat, just thaw them and bake at 350°F for 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
• Preshredded cheeses generally have anti-caking ingredients that will absorb moisture from your food. Shredding your own cheese makes for more predictable cooking results.
• Adding sugar to tomato-based recipes helps balance the tartness and coax the sweet side out of the tomatoes.

What you will need to make Meat Lovers Pizza Pinwheels:

• Mixing bowls – I like a vaiery of mixing bowls and prep bowls and this set has them all.
• Cheese Grater- As much as I love buying shredded cheese because I'm lazy, fresh grated cheese melts down so much better and creates a smoother recipes.
  

Enjoy!

Meat Lovers Pizza Pinwheels

Easy Pizza Pinwheels are loaded with your favorite meat lovers toppings for the perfect grab and go game day snack! The best part is you can make them ahead and freeze them for a simple meal anytime.

prep time: 40 minscook time: 20 minstotal time: 60 mins

Ingredients

For the Dough

• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°–115°F)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3–3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Filling

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup your favorite pizza sauce
• 2 cups freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 package thawed Jones Dairy Farm Antibiotic free chicken sausage, cut into coins
• 1/2 cup mini pepperoni
• 1/2 cup cooked ground beef
• 5 slices cooked bacon, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoons dried parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the yeast, sugar and warm water. Swirl with a spoon to dissolve the yeast. Let the mixture rest until the yeast becomes foamy and aromatic, about 3 minutes.
3. Pour the olive oil, 3 cups of the flour, Italian seasoning, salt and garlic into the bowl.
4. Mix on medium speed until the dough comes together in one ball, and then knead for 3 minutes on medium to medium-high speed. The dough should be just a little bit sticky. When you touch your finger to the dough and pull away, you should have just a little dough on your fingertip.
5. Add the remaining flour 1 tablespoon at a time as needed. The sticky dough is important to help the pizza pinwheels get a little lift as it cooks.
6. Lightly flour your counter top. Form the dough into a ball and cover with a dish towel. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
7. On a lightly floured counter top, roll the dough into a 12 x 18-inch rectangle.
8. Spread about 1/2 to 1 cup of marinara over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on the top edge (this is where you will pinch the dough together, if there is sauce here it will make it hard for the dough to stick together).
9. Sprinkle sausage, pepperoni, beef and bacon over the top of the sauce. Then sprinkle the cheese over the meat.
10. Starting at the long edge nearest you, fold the edge of the dough on top of itself and begin tightly rolling the dough away from you, pinching the pepperoni slices into the roll if they try to escape as you go. Use the last 1 inch of clean dough to seal the roll, pressing gently to keep it closed.
11. Cut the roll in half and then cut those halves in half, giving you 4 logs. Cut each of those logs into 3 pinwheels, giving you 12 pinwheels total.
12. Arrange the pinwheels cut side up on the baking sheet and spread them out so they are not touching. Bake for 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
13. Meanwhile, combine the remaining butter, parsley and salt in a small bowl. Stir together with a pastry brush or spoon. Brush the top and sides of the baked pinwheels with the butter mixture. Serve with the remaining marinara.

DONNA’S NOTES

1. These freeze wonderfully. Simply allow them to cool to room temperature after baking. Store in a gallon-size zip-top bag in the freezer. When you are ready to eat, just thaw them and bake at 350°F for 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
2. Adding sugar to tomato-based recipes helps balance the tartness and coax the sweet side out of the tomatoes.
3. Pre-shredded cheeses generally have anti-caking ingredients that will absorb moisture from your food. Shredding your own cheese makes for more predictable cooking results.

Cheesy Sausage Breakfast Pinwheels

Cheesy Sausage Breakfast Pinwheels are a simple recipe made with soft and tender bread filled with your favorite breakfast fixin's. It's like unrolling a little piece of heaven loaded with smoky bacon, pork sausage, scrambled eggs and ooey gooey cheese!

The best part is you can make them ahead so they are perfect for back to school. Have fun making them with the kids on the weekend. Then heat them up and grab one as they are heading out the door!

We are so excited to be partnering with our friends at Jones Dairy Farm to bring you a scrumptious breakfast or brunch recipe perfect for the holidays with family and friends, starring one of my favorite ingredients: Jones Dairy Farm All Natural Pork Sausage!!!

Munchkin is growing up so fast, I can't believe that she is 7! We started this site 6 years ago when she was 1 1/2 and she has been cooking right beside me ever since. With Chad and I so involved in the food world, she follows in our footsteps with a serious interest in cooking and planning out our meals.

Well, actually at this point she wants to make the recipes not just watch. While we were working on our cookbook (The Simple Kitchen - available for preorder) we came up with the idea for pizza pinwheels. She absolutely loves pizza and I thought that would be a fun way to switch it up. Needless to say, they were a huge hit!

So, when we were talking about fun breakfast/brinner ideas, we thought a breakfast pinwheel would totally rock our worlds and oh my gosh, we were so right!

This has to be the most fun that I have ever had working on a recipe. Like I said, Munchkin has been working with me in the kitchen and Chad in photo shoots since she was little, but to get her involved in the process was absolutely so much fun!

I put together a sweet and tender milk and honey bread dough. Then I rolled it out and Munchkin topped with 2 kinds of cheese, sausage, bacon and eggs and we rolled it up! Then we sliced and baked it. In a snap it was ready to eat, start to finish in an hour!

Soft and tender milk and honey bread filled with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and 2 scrumptious kinds of cheese to add just enough flavor to make this a new favorite!

Chad has literally been eating these every day for 2 weeks. He swears they remind him of his favorite stuffing in a fabulous breakfast. He can't get enough and I am sure your crew is going to go crazy over them too. Just follow the make-ahead freezing directions and you can make these with the kids on the weekend and enjoy them all week long.

I will let you all know that you can pick up Jones Dairy Farm products at your local retailer. The company’s products are distributed nationwide, so be sure to check out their product locator to see where you can pick some up. If you’re looking for the breakfast sausage, it’s in the freezer section!

This bread is super simple, great for a party, and can be prepped ahead of time if you're in a pinch when party planning. It's a great touch on a holiday table as an alternative to traditional rolls.

Speaking of simple recipes, of course our new cookbook {The Simple Kitchen - available to order now}is packed with delicious, easy recipes.

The Simple Kitchen is loaded with more than 75 BRAND NEW recipes and a hand full of family favorites too.

Crockpot Italian Meatballs and Marinara

Tender cheesy meatballs are slow cooked in a flavorful sauce made with ingredients from your pantry. Whip it up and toss it in the crockpot to cook, the meatballs cook right in the sauce! How much easier could it be? This meal just about cooks itself.

Did you know that I bought my first crockpot when I moved out on my own? I purchased my first one so I could make prepare dried beans.

My mom never used a slow cooker so I guess I never really 'got it' until I had one of my own.

Well that was 8 slow cookers ago. Now I have them in every size from a warmer to a 6 quart.

I use them all the time, wings, beans, shredded meat sandwiches, make ahead chicken, candy, sides, and so much more.

It is not uncommon to catch 4 of them on my counter on Sunday making food for the week or a meal for a friend.

Not to mention they are the ultimate food warmer for parties.

What on earth took me so long? I have no clue, but now I am in love.

I love my slow cooker and am so excited to share my crockpot Italian meatballs and marinara sauce.

The perfect dinner. Just boil some pasta when you get home and viola dinner is ready 10 minutes later!

Speaking of simple recipes, of course our new cookbook {The Simple Kitchen - available to order now}is packed with delicious, easy recipes.

Helpful Tips to make Crockpot Italian Meatballs and Marinara :

• Mix until just combined. Overmixing will create a tough meatball and that isn't good for anyone.
• Use a scoop to make uniform-size meatballs; this way you handle them less and they will cook evenly.
• If you lightly coat your hands with olive oil before rolling the meatballs, they will form better and crack less.
• Make a few batches of meatballs ahead and freeze them for easy dinners. To freeze, allow meatballs to come to room temperature and place in a freezer bag. I like to flash freeze them on a cookie sheet and then transfer the frozen meatballs to a freezer bag. It makes it easier to grab as many meatballs as I need.

What you will need to make Crockpot Italian Meatballs and Marinara :

• Slow Cooker-
• 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop – perfect for meatballs, cookies, ice cream for portioning out leftovers! I have had this set for years and use them all the time.

Enjoy!

Bacon Double Cheeseburger Beer Cheese Soup

BACON DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER BEER CHEESE SOUP is loaded with thick cut bacon and seasoned ground beef in the most scrumptious beer cheese soup. A one-pot 30 minute simple recipe and you have dinner.

How to make Cheeseburger Soup

It is the cool season around here.  We are dipping in the 80's in Arizona and that means SOUP!   I have to tell you we have made a ton of soup already and I do not see any stopping in the near future.

So keep your eyes peeled we have a new soup planned each week throughout the cool season and they will knock your socks off.

One of our soups from last year has kind of gone crazy around here. Bacon Cheddar Beer Cheese Soup with Chicken has over 113,000 Pins and is our #2 all time recipe on the site. 

We have had such a fantastic response to the recipe with rave reviews all over Facebook and our site.  We have even eaten it a gazillion times so I decided to mix it up a bit.

I created a soup inspired by one of Chad's favorites.  Chad loves burgers.  No really.  HE LOVES BURGERS.  So this soup was just for him (and all of you of course).

The Bacon Double Cheeseburger Beer Cheese Soup oh my word.  It is a grand slam home run (that means 'flippin' spectacularly fabulously' awesome for you non-baseball fans).  I think if we could eat it breakfast, lunch and dinner we would.

Its loaded with thick cut bacon and seasoned ground beef in the most scrumptious beer cheese soup.  One pot, 30 minutes and you have dinner.  For fun we have been adding croutons, bacon, chopped pickles and other favorite toppings as a garnish.

I have to say the croutons are a must! 30 minutes from prep to plate for this rich creamy delicious soup and I am sure it will be on your menu all winter long.

Speaking of simple recipes, of course our new cookbook {The Simple Kitchen - available to order now}is packed with delicious, easy recipes.

Helpful Tips to make Bacon Double Cheeseburger Beer Cheese Soup:

• Half and half is a US dairy product made up of half cream and half milk.  Feel free to substitute accordingly. You may also use all cream, which would make the soup more rich.  All milk would tone down the soup.

What you will need to make Bacon Double Cheeseburger Beer Cheese Soup:

Add beef into pot.  Break beef up with a wooden spoon.  Cook until cooked through, stirring occasionally.  Drain bacon/beef drippings as necessary; only leave about 2 tablespoons of drippings in the pan.  Tip for checking drippings:  Scrape all meat to one side, tip pan.  Drippings will pool on the side.  Use a spoon to remove drippings as necessary.
3. Stir in flour, seasoning and paprika.  Stir until flour is coated.  Add beer and scrape the bottom of the pot with a spoon to deglaze the pan, allow to cook for 3 minutes. Add half & half.  Stir to combine and bring to a bubble.  Add cheese and stir until cheese is melted.   Allow to simmer until ready to serve, stirring occasionally.
4. Garnish with croutons, bacon, pickles, whatever you like on your burger.
5. Enjoy!

DONNA’S NOTES

1. Half and half is a US dairy product made up of half cream and half milk.  Feel free to substitute accordingly. You may also use all cream, which would make the soup more rich.  All milk would tone down the soup.
