This recipe for Mom's legendary stuffed hamburgers yields enormous, stick-to-your-ribs burgers with a surprise in the center—a real family favorite. I like to serve them on a bun topped with sautéed mushrooms and Swiss cheese. Use extra lean or lean ground beef instead of medium because the bacon adds to the fat content of the meat.

Stovetop Stuffing Meatloaf
Using stovetop stuffing makes meatloaf incredibly savory and the chunks of dried bread create a kind of a tiny mosaic in each slice. With a perfectly thick, sticky and sweet topping this meatloaf is an awesome easy dinner option to whip up any day of the week.
Dandelion Dressing
This is made in early spring, usually Easter, when the new dandelions are sweet and crisp. It is from my grandma, Callie Brosius, who was Pennsylvania Dutch and a great cook. This is usually served with boiled potatoes with ham at Easter.
Omuraisu (Japanese Rice Omelet)
Omuraisu is similar in flavor and style to hash browns and eggs. This delicious Japanese rice omelet recipe works wonderfully as a breakfast, lunch, or dinner, especially for those not ready for the typical raw fish or white rice.
