Delicious Breakfast Pizza
This breakfast pizza is one of my favorites to get the day going. There are endless combinations and it is pretty filling after a few slices.
Beef Enchiladas with Flour Tortillas
A simple, quick, easy beef enchiladas recipe. Ground beef and onion are wrapped in flour tortillas, topped with Cheddar cheese and black olives, then baked. This is also great with leftover chicken, shredded beef, or turkey. Serve with a green salad or beans and rice.
Dutch Oven Pulled Pork
A wonderful oven-roasted BBQ pulled pork in a Dutch oven that can be made with any pork roast. Low-and-slow roasting up above the juices is the key. Serve by itself or on buns. I like mine with coleslaw and a root beer-BBQ sauce on multigrain buns. Baked beans are a nice side dish, too.
