It started out as a typical “Sandwich Night” at my house, a.k.a..”Fix whatever the heck you want, cuz I’m tired night!”  And ended up being the perfect opportunity to use up all those straggler sandwich supplies just hanging around in the fridge!  🙂

Even though this meant that “fix whatever you want” turned into me doing all the fixing, it was so easy that it was almost like I did nothing..haha!  But the payoff was huge, how often does that happen?!

~These Sammies are so tasty, ooey and cheesy gooey, with a Mustard crusted bottom that takes each bite over the top!

I highly recommend making simple and yummy a batch of these ooey-gooey Sammies the next time you need a quick dinner fix!

What you’ll need for 6 super sized Sammies (feel free to modify these ingredients to meet your likes/needs):

8 oz. Sliced Swiss Cheese

1 lb. Sliced Ham

2 cups Shredded Mozzarella

1/4 cup Mustard..or to taste

12 slices of thick and good bread (I used buttered Texas Toast)

An oven -safe casserole dish

Directions:

Spread the Mustard in the bottom of the Casserole pan…

Layer your Sammies with the Cheese and Ham evenly so they all get the same amount, place the other slce of Bread on top…

Top the whole shebang with the Shredded Cheese…

And into the oven it goes at 350 degrees for approx. 25 minutes, or until they are golden and gooey…

Make sure to share while they’re good and hot…

These are “Plate” Sammies, not “Hand” Sammies..lol

Unless, of course…you’re alone!  ~Enjoy!  🙂

Oh my WOW!  I’m not sure if there’s anything quite as comforting as biscuits & gravy, other than maybe buttered biscuits & gravy with tons of little gravy boats built right inside the entire biscuit!  Yeah, that’s right!!  Every bite is bursting with gravy goodness thanks to the ‘waffle effect’!

“Waffle Effect” meaning:  When deliciousness gets trapped inside each square, making every bite better than the last!  🙂

I could tell you how easy and impressive these are to make and serve.  I could tell you that I think a waffle iron makes better biscuits than it does waffles.  I could totally tell you that when the thick, creamy, peppered sausage gravy fills up all of the built-in gravy boats squares, they reach flavor levels that no other biscuits & gravy have ever seen…lol!    But I won’t tell you any of those things, nope..I won’t!  😉

I’m only going to say..try these!  It’s the weekend, why not quietly make these for yourself wake the family up with the smell of biscuit waffles and gravy?!

You may want to do it like this..

OR for sure like this…  🙂

What you’ll need:

1 pkg. Pillsbury Grands Biscuits

1 pkg. Jimmy Dean Sausage

1 packet of Country Gravy Mix

Pepper & butter..optional, but necessary for me!  🙂

Directions:

In a medium sauce pan brown the sausage until it’s fully cooked

Sprinkle in the gravy packet and add the required amount of liquid that it calls for..stir well to remove any lumps and combine!

Pepper that baby up!

Keep it warm and set aside!

For the Waffle Biscuits:

Spray the waffle iron with some non-stick spray!

Add the biscuits directly to the waffle iron and let them cook for about 3 minutes..or until they’re golden.

Add the warm gravy right on top of the biscuit waffles and dig in!  Feel free to gently lay a perfectly fried egg on top just to make them even more awesome!  ~Enjoy! 😉

I confess, that in the world of candy choices, I will dig around through piles of Tootsie Rolls to get down to the Kit Kats!  Don’t get me wrong, I do appreciate a good old Tootsie Roll now and then, but they always leave me pondering that nagging question, “hmm..am I in the mood right now to chew, and chew, and chew…and, chew?”   Usually not, even though I really love that one of a kind Tootsie Roll flavor!  Well, I think this recipe solves all of my dilemmas, and it’s so easy and simple. 

It’s a smooth as silk, packed with flavor, and oh-so-spoonable Tootsie Roll Mousse!  It’s so thick and creamy, yet somehow still has that classic chewy feel to it, even though it’s not chewy at all! 

For a unique way to enjoy all the greatness of a classic Tootsie Roll, and none of the missing fillings, give this a try! 🙂

What you’ll need:

40 mini Tootsie Rolls (midgees)

1-14oz  can of  Sweetened Condensed Milk

1 container of Cool Whip Topping..reserve about a 1/2 cup for garnish

Directions:

In a medium sauce pot add the sweetened condensed milk and all the unwrapped tootsie rolls, melt them together over medium heat, stirring constantly!

Mmm..spoonable Tootsie Rolls!
