GROUND PHILLY CHEESESTEAK GRILLED CHEESE

GROUND PHILLY CHEESESTEAK GRILLED CHEESE MADE WITH BELL PEPPERS, ONIONS AND AMERICAN OR PROVOLONE CHEESE.

Ground Philly Cheesesteak Grilled Cheese is my second favorite grilled cheese behind the Fig and Pig Grilled Cheese from yesterday. And oh yeah, Happy National Grilled Cheese Day!

I use two slices of the provolone in the sandwich to make protect the meat and hold the sandwich together. You can also (and I definitely do from time to time) use American Cheese. If you use one slice of cheese the bottom half of your sandwich won’t stay together, so don’t be afraid to add that second slice.

Finally got to make these! Will definitely be making again! I didn't so much get the "philly cheesesteak" feel off of these but they were definitely delicious and very filling!

Always delicious! Love this recipe. I usually use whatever cheese I have on hand but I prefer Monterey Jack. I like adding mayo to it as well. Simple and filling dinner.

This was an amazing spin on a grilled cheese. Next time I will definetly make thin patties with the meat, peppers, and onions because they were a little messy with the taco style meat scooped on.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 onion , chopped
• 1/2 green bell pepper , chopped
• salt and pepper to taste
• 8 slices American or Provolone Cheese
• 8 slices white bread
• 4 tablespoons butter

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Start by browning the beef in the skillet. Try to brown without breaking up the meat too much. Get a nice brown sear on the beef, then break apart as little as possible. You want the meat to resemble a pea in size [you want to avoid taco meat consistency]. Add the salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Stir gently, then remove from pan.

CUCUMBER GREEK SALAD

This Cucumber Greek Salad is light and refreshing, and full of healthy ingredients. With minimal prep, it makes an easy side dish for any meal!

This Cucumber Greek Salad makes a great side dish to serve at almost any meal, and especially at summer barbecues. When there’s lots of yummy desserts and other heavy dishes to chow down on, sometimes I like to prepare a healthier alternative.

It’s nice to have a fresh side to balance everything out, and this Cucumber Greek Salad definitely fits the bill! This salad is so easy to throw together. The hardest part is chopping the veggies, and that really only takes about five minutes. Add in some spices, lemon juice, olive oil, and feta, and you are ready to go.

RECIPES BY belleofthekitchen [THANK YOU]

Very tasty. Didn't add the olives. Added some rice vinegar. Marinated the cucumber and tomatoes for an hour before adding the feta cheese. Would be good to add pepperoncinis.

Made this for the first time last night. My wife and I both thought it was awesome! Adding this to our "favorites." Highly recommended.

really refreshing summer salad. make sure you cut the cucumbers to the same size. also, letting the salad set for awhile to get the seasoning distributed.

The family loved this! I doubled everything and made it for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit! I know it's more of a summer dish but I figured with all the starchy sides it would do a body good.

Delicious and easy to make. I doubled the recipe for a party and it made a lot. Make it fresh because it's not as good the next day.

Ingredients

• 2 cucumbers, peeled and chopped into 1/4 slices

LEMON CHEESECAKE CRESCENT ROLLS

Lemon Cheesecake Crescent Rolls are bursting with bright lemon flavor! Flaky crescent rolls filled with creamy lemon cheesecake, topped with a citrus glaze…the perfect brunch recipe!

So I’ve had some interesting experiences lately. Experiences that give me some insight into just how strange my life has become. Ha! For real though…..you know how life just kind of takes you down a path? And you don’t always realize the path you’re on until it suddenly hits you one day? Well, that’s exactly what’s been happening. And even though it could be so much worse, it’s definitely not pretty.

The first experience was just the other day, when I was getting dressed (in jeans) to go over to our friends’ house. And I realized that it was the first time I had gotten dressed in anything other than leggings in a full week. And let’s not even talk about showering, or doing my hair, or putting on makeup….because the reality is I rarely do any of them. Because, well, there’s rarely a reason to….!

All you need is a package of crescent rolls, cream cheese, sugar, lemon extract, and fresh lemon zest…..and you’re well on your way enjoying Lemon Cheesecake Crescent Rolls for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert. And if you happen to put on jeans or get out of the house that day, too? Well, in that case, you are REALLY winning at life.

5. Place 2 inches apart on a lightly greased or parchment -lined baking sheet.
6. Bake at 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
