Ham and Cheese Sliders
Ingredients
24 good white dinner rolls
24 pieces good honey ham
24 small slices Swiss cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup miracle whip
Poppy seed sauce (you probably could half this...I had plenty extra)
1 Tablespoon poppyseeds
1 1/2 Tablespoons yellow mustard
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 Tablespoon minced onion
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Directions
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and miracle whip. Spread onto both sides of the center of each roll. Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss inside of each roll. Close rolls and place them into a large baking dish or heavy cookie sheet. Place very close together.
In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the poppy seed sauce ingredients. Pour evenly over all of the sandwiches. You do not have to use all of the sauce! Just use enough to cover the tops. Let sit 10 minutes or until butter sets slightly. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Uncover and cook for 2 additional minutes or until tops are slightly brown and crispy. Serve warm.
** sandwiches can be assembled a day ahead and kept in the fridge ready to bake.

Crock Pot Chicken & Dressing
Ingredients:
1 - recipe homemade cornbread (9x13 in) or 2 - 6 oz packages yellow cornbread mix, prepared (not corn muffin mix- corn muffins are sweet corn bread is not)
5 - boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked or use rotisserie
2 - slices bread, hamburger or hot dog buns, toasted
2 - eggs, hard boiled
1 - small onion, chopped
2 - stalks celery, chopped
1 - 2 teaspoons sage, to your taste
1 - 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning, to your taste
salt and pepper, to taste
2 - 10.5 oz cans great value cream of chicken soup
1 - stick (1/2 cup) butter or margarine, melted
2 - cups low sodium chicken broth
Directions:
Prepare and bake cornbread according to packet directions (9 x13 inch pan) and set aside to cool. While the cornbread cools poach or simmer the chicken breasts (you can also use store bought rotisserie or a homemade roast chicken).
Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place in a saucepan or skillet. Add enough water to cover the chicken pieces.
Bring the water to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer the chicken for 10 minutes. Turn off heat and let the chicken sit in the hot water for another 10 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate and let cool.
In a very large bowl add the crumbled cornbread. Tear the toasted bread into pieces and add to the cornbread.
Add onion, celery, hard boiled eggs, sage, poultry seasoning, one can cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, melted butter and salt and pepper to taste.
Gently mix everything together. Spray a 6 quart crock pot with baking spray. Spread half of the second can of cream of chicken soup on the bottom of the crock pot.
Top with 1/3 of the dressing. Add half of the cooked chicken breaking it into pieces as you add it.
Top with 1/3 more of the dressing, remaining chicken and the last of the dressing. Spread the remaining half can of the cream of chicken soup on top. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
Cook's Note: I start my crock pot on high for the first hour. Then turn it to low and cook for the remaining 3 hours. You can also use your favorite homemade cornbread in place of packaged. Two packages of cornbread mix yielded one 9 x 13 inch pan of cornbread.

Spif's Sweet Potato Casserole
3 c. cooked yams, mashed
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. melted butter
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1/3 c. milk
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Place sweet potatoes in a shallow baking pan lined with foil. Bake at 425° for 1 hour or until tender.
Peel sweet potatoes; place in a large bowl. Add butter and ingredients (through cinnamon); mash with a potato masher until pureed. Spoon potato mixture into a 2-quart glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray. Choose topping options. Place topping option 1 on now. If you choose topping option 2 top with marshmallows at end of cooking time and bake an additional 10 minutes until marshmallows are lightly browned.
Reduce oven temperature to 350°. Bake for 25 minutes at 350°.
Topping options:
Top with the following mixture before cooking:
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. flour
2 1/2 T oleo
1/2 c. chopped pecans
OR TOP
Top with the following mixture after cooking and bake an additional 10 minutes until marshmallows are lightly browned.:
3 cups miniature marshmallows
Bake With Freezing in Mind
Cook a casserole bound for the big chill without a streusel, crumb or chopped nut topping, which becomes soggy in a freeze-and-thaw cycle. Add the topping when you reheat the casserole to serve at a later date. Do not sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg on top of the casserole before baking or freezing the dish. Spices can develop a slightly bitter aftertaste in the freezer. It is fine to incorporate seasonings into the sweet potato mixture before you bake it, however.
Cool the Casserole
Foods should be cooled gradually but quickly for safety and freshness. Cool the baked casserole to room temperature before you freeze it. An immediate shift from extreme hot to cold corrupts the textures of milk and cream, making them more prone to lumpiness. Sit the casserole dish in cool water to expedite the process. Change the water periodically to keep the water bath cool. Leave the casserole uncovered so that steam can escape. Evaporating steam accumulates under a lid, becomes ice, then melts onto the food when you thaw the casserole, making it soggy. Scoop the cooled casserole into a freezer-safe container if it's not already in one. Use moisture/vapor-resistant packaging such as plastic or heavy-duty aluminum foil to shield the casserole from the air in the freezer, which can make food taste stale.
Got You Covered
Lay a sheet of plastic wrap or aluminum foil directly on the casserole in the dish, then wrap another piece over the top rim of the container. Ice crystals are less likely to form if the covering contacts the food, creating a near-airtight seal. Place a tight-fitting lid on the container, if you have one.
Zero or Below
Freeze the casserole at or below 0 degree Fahrenheit. The temperature must remain 0 F or lower to keep it safe for later reheating and consumption. Do not place other frozen food on top of the casserole until it is thoroughly frozen, which takes approximately one day. It is best to reheat and serve the casserole within four weeks of freezing it. The flavor of sweet potatoes and the quality of dairy products decline after about one month in the freezer.

Biscuit Breakfast Bake
Ingredients:
10 eggs
1/2 cup milk
16 oz refrigerated breakfast biscuits (I used the Pillsbury flakey kind) ***DO NOT COOK FIRST***
4 scallions (green onions, spring onions, whatever you prefer to call them)
1 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
If you’re into the meats – cooked center cut bacon or cooked sausage
11×17 pan, sprayed with cooking spray (Note: I think a 9×13 works better, but it might need to bake a little longer)
Directions:
1. Mix your eggs and milk in a large bowl. Cut each biscuit (I’m all about scissors in the kitchen) into fours and add it to the bowl. I like to do this before I cook the bacon or cut up the scallions – give the biscuits some time to really soak in the eggs.
2. Cut up your scallions, shred your cheese, cook and break up your bacon (or sausage). Add everything to the bowl.
3. Mix it all up and pour into your pan. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes .. closer to 30 so it isn't runny
YUMMY!! Serve with Fresh Fruit Salad and lotsa coffee/tea and assorted juices
***
Hint/Tip *** - if you want to make this the night before leave it in the mixing bowl in the fridge covered with saran. In the morning, give it a good stir then pour into prepared baking dish and proceed to bake as directed!!!
