1/2 pound spaghetti
2 – 1/4” slices ham cut into cubes
3/4 c grated parmesan
Salt & pepper
3 eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
Heat
oven to 375. Grease muffin tins (I used papers). Cook spaghetti
according to package directions. Cook ham, remove from pan.
Add ½ c cheese and 1 t pepper.
Swirl forkful of spaghetti into muffin cups (about 1/3 full)
Beat eggs, add cream and 1 t salt. Pour 1 T of egg mixture into each cup over spaghetti.
Top with ham, sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 20 minutes or until lightly golden around edges.
I
used pepperoni and added a spoonful of spaghetti sauce on top, and used
some mozzarella on top to make them more like pizza or lasagna. You
could use just about any meat and change the sauce and/or cheese to get
the taste that you like best.
As a stay at home mom of three, the most stressful part of my day is from 4:30 to approx 6:00, trying to find something to eat and make it! Trying new recipes can be fun, and some can be disastrous!! Our goal here is to present tried and true, successful meals that you can be confident in presenting to your family! If you have a great recipe that you would like to share, please email me at koon.sara@gmail.com and I will get it posted!

Spaghetti Corn
1 can creamed corn
1 can whole kernel corn
3/4 stick margarine
1 cup cubed velveeta cheese ( I always put more than this, you can never have too much cheese!)
1 cup broken spaghetti
Bake 350 degrees for 30-45 min. Stir part of the way through to prevent noodles sticking out the top from getting hard.
This can also be made with 1 cup of elbow mac and microwaved for 20 minutes.

Chicken Pot Pie
Pastry for 9" pie crust
2 C chicken, cooked and cubed
1/2 C chicken broth
1/2 C non-dairy liquid creamer
2 T butter
1 onion, chopped (have used minced onion)
2 T flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp thyme (has a strong flavor - this is optional)
10 oz frozen peas and carrots
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Line pie pan with pastry and refrigerate until ready.
Melt butter, and saute onions until golden.
Blend in flour, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook over low heat for 1 minute.
Stir in chicken broth and non-dairy creamer. Heat to boiling and boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in chicken and vegetables. Allow to cool 10 minutes.
Pour into pastry lined pan. Cover with pastry top, seal edges, and cut to allow venting.
Bake 35 - 40 minutes or until golden brown.
I have also added small chunks of potatoes. Made a double batch and only added enough thyme for one batch and I liked it better. So maybe don't use the thyme or not as much.
