Week 4 - Cupcake Pizza PLUS Turkey Meat Haystack

Week 4 of football season already and I haven't watched ANY football!! Life is just to busy, but I've found time to make some goodies for Ben's birthday Sunday Funday addition.

Both of these recipes were a hit with Ben and my parents, so enjoy!!!

Cupcake Pizza - http://reallyfrompinterest.blogspot.com/2012/04/cupcake-mold-pizzas.html

What you Need:

• Pillsbury Refrigerated Pizza Dough (I used 1 can)
• Pizza Sauce (tomato sauce is fine)
• Shredded Cheese
• Your favorite toppings
• Muffin Tin

Preheat oven to 400 degrees (as the package directed) and grease the cupcake pan.
I separated the dough into 6 equal parts (I probably could have separated the dough into smaller parts to make more, but this way the cupcakes were big and filling). Push the dough into the molds; try to make the dough cover the sides.

Cover dough with pizza sauce, cheese and topping.

Bake for 15 minutes or until fully cooked through. Let them cool before removing with a knife. Serve and ENJOY!

These were awesome and super easy! Great for entertaining!!!

I stumbled across this other recipe when looking for turkey meat recipes and the picture looked so good - http://asugarhigh.blogspot.com/2010/07/easy-haystack-dinner.html  

Ingredients:

• 4 cups water
• 2 cups rice
• 2 lbs. ground turkey, or beef
• 1 - 10¾ oz. can cream of mushroom soup 
• 1 - 10¾ oz. can cream of celery soup
• 2 Tbsp. milk
• 2 cups (16 oz) cooked peas/veggie of choice
• Shredded cheese for topping

Cook rice according to package. 

Meanwhile, cook turkey in a large saucepan until thoroughly browned. Add both cans of soup and milk; stir until well combined and creamy. Cook until warm.

To serve Haystacks put some rice on a serving dish, top with meat mixture, then top with peas/veggies of choice and finally top with shredded cheese. If your peas are warmed the cheese should melt over them, if not you can stick the plate in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

This was another yummy and easy dish to make!!!

Stay tuned for Crock Pot Mac and Cheese next week!!!!!!!!!
