Two mouthwatering juicy hamburger patties layered with Monterey Jack cheese, caramelized onions, and the Whataburger secret sauce.  Patty Melt {Whataburger Copycat Without The Bun} This version of the popular Whataburger patty melt is delicious and easy comfort food the whole family will love.   I love patty melts. This Whataburger copycat is the perfect version for gameday parties, weeknight dinners, and more.  The sandwich can be great without a bun or toast. To make it easy for your guests, serve them without the bun, but for those who want buns or Texas toast, do them separately. 

How To Cook A Whole Bone In Ham

A Whole Bone-in Ham recipe is so simple, with no glaze, no clove studding, and no fuss. It uses the low and slow cooking method and a blast of high heat at the end to caramelize the outside. The results are excellent, juicy, tender, and with superb flavor. WHOLE  BONE IN HAM With so many varieties of hams in grocery stores today, it can be daunting to know how to cook one. I share secrets for buying, preparing, and cooking the juiciest ham ever.  A whole bone in ham is the most effortless meat to cook for a holiday meal.  Preparation is equally as easy.   A whole ham is larger than needed for a regular meal but perfect for a large gathering or save and have for those wonderful leftover ham recipes. Most hams you buy are fully cooked, and all you do is score the ham and, if you want, add a simple glaze.  My family prefers the natural juices from the ham to baste the ham instead of a glaze.   By scoring a diamond pattern in the ham into the fat and ...

Old School Sloppy Joes Recipe Is Still The Best!

The Old School Sloppy Joes Recipe is still the best, consisting of ground beef, onions, tomato sauce or ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and other spices.  The simplest version has stood the test of time, d-lish! The name of this beloved sandwich gets it honest.   They are as tasty as they are sloppy. The name comes from piling so much meat sauce on a giant hamburger bun, a tiny slider bun, or between two slices of your favorite bread that you cannot help but need a napkin.  Did I say they were messy?

Fried Green Tomato, Bacon and Pimento Sandwich

Fried Green Tomato, Bacon and Pimento Sandwich, homemade pimento cheese, crispy bacon, glorious fried green tomatoes sandwiched between two slices of golden toasted bread.  The ultimate summertime sandwich that sings the taste of the South. What do you do when you have leftover fried green tomatoes, crispy bacon, and pimento cheese?  You guessed it, make Fried Green Tomato, Bacon, and Pimento Sandwiches.   I like to fry a lot of green tomatoes for a meal.  We love leftovers.  You may ask if they are still crispy leftovers.   My recipe for green fried tomatoes lends the best texture for leftovers.   I always cook twice the amount of bacon for breakfast, too, for leftovers or to sprinkle on vegetables we have for supper.   The pimento cheese is made ahead for a quick sandwich for lunch on most days.  Pimento Cheese will keep in the fridge for weeks.  An excellent snack to have with crackers ...

Epic Fried Green Tomato BLT Club Sandwich

Fried Green Tomato BLT Club Sandwich, three slices of sandwich white bread toasted and layered in between with perfectly fried green tomatoes with crispy bacon for the first layer and a  perfectly ripe beefsteak tomato with crispy bacon for the second layer.  Two classic sandwiches gloriously combined into one Epic sandwich cut into quarters and held together with toothpicks!    As the summer comes to an end, I am getting in as many fried green tomatoes as I can.  One of my favorite ways to eat them is in a sandwich.  There is just something about all that mayonnaise, a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper sandwiched between to pieces of bread, even toasted.  So good! My favorite sandwich is a BLT.  And my personal favorite way to eat a BLT is in the style of a club sandwich, epic!   When I was a little girl, we lived in Columbia, South America.  My Dad worked for Shell Oil Company, and we were part ...

Curry Chicken Salad {Another Favorite for a Baby Shower!}

Curry Chicken Salad is the perfect salad to serve at a baby shower, brunch, or an afternoon tea.  It is a popular salad for entertaining. My daughter adores this recipe. I am continuing the post from last week on my daughter's favorite food we served at her baby shower.  You may have seen the picture on  Facebook announcing the arrival of my newest grandson. I love being a Grandma! This salad is so versatile to serve.  It can be served cold on a bed of lettuce with crackers…wrapped in a flour tortilla…or serve it on croissants like we did at my daughter's baby shower.   You make the salad with a roasted chicken, water chestnuts, celery, slivered almonds, red grapes, and dressed in a delectable curry dressing that keeps you wanting to come back for another bite.   Curry Chicken Salad is the perfect make ahead salad for any entertaining.  I make it the night before so the flavors marry together, and the curry stands...

Baked Texas Style Chili Dogs {Granny's Recipe Revisited}

When I was in high school, I remember my mother would make these Baked Texas Style Chili Dogs sometimes on Friday nights just before we went to the football game. This was a quick way to serve chili dogs without having to set out all of the fixings, and clean up is quick.  What I like most about them is when they come out of the oven, the bun is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside along with the hot dog and chili. They are so yummy good! I made these with some of my Blue Ribbon 8-Hour Chili and served them for a quick Sunday lunch. We had some leftover, and I cut them in half and served them as mini chili dogs at our Life Group Meeting Sunday evening. They were a great hit with the children.

Bacon Jam {An Irresistible Spread!}

Hamburger-Bacon Jam Sliders {And Some Perfect Super Bowl Foods!}

Hamburger-Bacon Jam Sliders are the perfect sliders for this weekend's Super Bowl Party .

Easy Baked Coca Cola Ham

Easy Southern Classic Ham all year around.  My Mother feels that the coco cola pulls some of the salt off and tenderizes the inside of the ham.  It also gives it a wonderful caramelization on the outside. EASY BAKED COUNTRY HAM This is the perfect recipe for any holiday celebrations.  To finish out your meal, serve this with  Southern Spoonbread ,  Mama's Southern Baked Beans ,  Carrot Souffle , and  Simple Broccoli Cauliflower Salad . Easter is such a beautiful time of the year.  Here in East Texas, it has been uncommonly cold the last week or so, and you would never know that sparing is here except for the beautiful blooms. Another Thing Easter brings is the time of the year we have Easy Baked Country Ham aka Coco Cola Ham. Our Easter mornings are so busy with getting to church, taking pictures, and preparing a delicious meal. A baked spiral ham basted with Classic Coke can sure make it so much simpler. Spiral hams cook faster and are presliced,...

Ham & Cheese Sliders {Ideal Party Food}

The Super Bowl is coming up and what better slider to serve at your Super Bowl Party than these Ham and Cheese Sliders .  Here is how easy they are to make---assemble the sandwich, drizzle the sauce and heat them in the oven until the cheese is melted--how easy it that?  Sometimes I make the sandwiches up in the morning and put them in the refrigerator.  Just hold drizzling the sauce until ready to bake. The buttery mustard poppy seed sauce is what puts these sliders over the top.  Yummy yummy! You don't have to wait for a get together, or party to make these.  I made these with some leftover ham we had at Christmas for a quick supper.   If I were you, I wouldn't wait for the Super Bowl to make yours. (giggles)

Jalapeno Burger {Every Bite Has A Kick}

  I have been seeing on the commercial for Burger King this wonderful Jalapeno Burger , and I wanted to create one myself.  You pretty much just take your hamburger meat and season it with your favorite seasonings and add chopped jalapenos. Depending on how hot you like your food, when you pick out your jalapenos, you should pick the ones that are short and fat for a lot of heat and the longer ones for a milder heat.  I found this out when I made these burgers, and although they were delicious, for my taste, they could have been a little hotter. At the end of when you take a bite of the burger, you have that wonderful heat that ends up in the back of your mouth.  That to me is a perfect bite with some kick to it.  

Secret To Better Pimento Cheese

Better Pimento Cheese , delicious pimento cheese with a few secret ingredients to wow your guest.  Mix all the ingredients together,  put it in the fridge and the flavor just keeps getting better and better.   I have a friend, Pat Williams, that makes the most delicious P i m e n t o C h e e s e you will ever eat.  My family calls it Better Pimento Cheese . There are a few secrets that she shared with me about what makes hers stand out. One thing, she uses is an extra sharp cheddar cheese, (preferably Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese that she shreds herself), Helmsman's mayonnaise, and here is the crescendo diced Jalapenos .  How yummy is that?  She says that if you can wait, it taste better after being refrigerated for a day or so.  Thank you, Pat, for sharing your wonderful recipe with me!

Perfect Pulled Pork {Slow Roasted Pork Roast}

Perfect Pulled Pork is just that PERFECTLY cooked. Low and slow is the secret to the meat melting in your mouth, but the magic happens in the brining. As I was planning our Easter menu, I knew I wanted to cook a pork roast.  Pork Roast has a tendency to turn out dry, so I set out on a quest to find a recipe that would yield the most flavorful and succulent meat.

Homemade Pimento Cheese and Homemade Chicken Salad {Did You Know August is Officially National Sandwich Month?}

Homemade Pimento Cheese and Homemade Chicken Salad are the favorite salad to make sandwiches.  Pick out a favorite bread, and you can have the perfect sandwiches for any gathering.
