One Pan Ham and Cheese

Well, here we are in the midst of the holidays with plenty more leftovers to finish and we could all use a fresh idea or two on how to do that. Luckily, Marguerite had leftover casseroles and other one pan dishes for many different main ingredients. One of the best parts of this one pan ham and cheese bake is that it turned out to be more of a breakfast dish than anything else. A great twist and a different way to have dinner time leftovers!

Here’s what Marguerite had to say:

The nice thing about the ingredients in this recipe is that they include a nice mix of fresh and pre-cooked ingredients. It was also extra quick and easy because Marguerite seemed to suggest the ingredients should be mixed right in the casserole that went in the oven. Baking was also simple and the time Marguerite said in her recipe was just about right on. Checking the middle with a knife was an easy way to make sure the one pan ham and cheese was done completely.

Now this ham and cheese recipe was mostly eggs and Bisquick. That made it turn out incredibly quiche-like. This is much like another ham and cheese recipe, our Ham and Cheese Strata, which was also like the breakfast dish. However, the main difference in this recipe is that it had many more ingredients, which gave way to a more exciting dish with more flavor.

While I like Bisquick because it is normally made into pancakes, I am not a huge fan of eggs for breakfast, so I wasn’t the craziest for this recipe. I did like that it was prettier than the aforementioned strata, having much more color due to the green onions, tomatoes, and the like. Aaron enjoys quiches and omelets, as well as the vegetables in the dish, so he did enjoy having it, and for breakfast no less, even though the ham had been for dinner! If you try this one pan ham and cheese recipe to use up some of your Christmas ham this season, we hope it makes your breakfast, or any meal you happen to have it for, a little more relaxing as 2016 winds down.

One Pan Turkey ‘n Stuffing

Happy Thanksgiving from Marguerite’s Cookbook! We hope everyone had a nice and relaxing holiday surrounded by the ones you love. We couldn’t make it home for Thanksgiving this year, so we had a Thanksgiving for two that Aaron made for us. You may have seen it on our Instagram.

We’re going to take a quick break from pies, but we’ve got our final one of the month coming later this week. So if you made more food than you could eat, or couldn’t send enough leftovers home with your dinner guests, we have a one pan turkey and stuffing recipe that’ll give you a nice twist on the same old leftovers. And spare you from some turkey sandwiches!

Here’s what Marguerite had to say:

As you can see, the only leftover from the meal you actually use is the turkey, but I find that it is the thing you have the most of and it sits in the refrigerator the longest. It is nice that this recipe includes “stuffing” without having to use any leftovers, or have another box of stuffing around. The Bisquick is a nice substitute for the dried bread crumbs in stuffing and it is a good way to hold onto all those seasonings in this one pan turkey and stuffing.

This recipe is meant to be almost a full meal in itself. Marguerite suggests that this only serves six, which means everyone is supposed to take a sizable portion. Since there aren’t any vegetables in it, that could be a good option to pair with it to round out your meal. Because we know you’re still swimming in green beans and corn. Now on to taste, but first, an unpopular opinion. Turkey may honestly be my least favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal, as I live for all the sides. But this wasn’t bad. Aaron liked it of course. He found it to be an interesting twist and a nice way to switch up eating all that turkey. He especially liked it because Marguerite made so many different dishes with pre-cooked, leftover meat and it reminder him of her.

We felt the best way to surround this one pan turkey and stuffing dish in our pictures was with photos of the people we are thankful for and missed seeing this Thanksgiving. If you try this recipe with your leftovers this weekend, we hope you enjoy it, but not as much as you enjoyed time with your friends and family.
