Ham & Cheese Freeze-Ahead Sandwiches
Jan's Sandwiches (Janie's Version) original recipe from Once A Month Cooking by
Mimi Wilson and MaryBeth Lagerborg

1 (2 1/2 ounce) package thin-sliced, corned beef luncheon meat
1 (8 oz) jar cheez whiz
1 T. minced onion
2 T. light mayonnaise
8 sandwich or onion rolls

*(okay, corned beef is just gross, so I used one of those glad-ware packaged Hillshire Farms Thin Sliced Deli Style Honey Ham and it made enough for 2 packages of rolls, plus I used about half, maybe more of a large cheez whiz, and the cheez whiz has so much fat in it, why bother with light mayo? so I went whole-hog and had the real stuff)

Chop meat and mix with Cheez Whiz, onion, and mayonnaise. Spread filling on one bun; top with second bun. Wrap buns individually in foil and freeze in their original bread bag.

To prepare for serving: thaw rolls and bake in foil in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 20 minutes. *(Note: I didn't bother thawing, and they worked just fine. Also, write the cooking instructions on the plastic bag with a permanent marker, so you don't have to find the recipe when you are ready to cook these babies. BTW, they were delicious and tasted very much like an Arby's Ham & Cheese.)

Crustless Quiche or Impossibly Easy Green Chile Pie

Cook and crumble 1 lb sausage, remove from pan and drain grease except for about 1 tablespoon, in sausage grease saute 1 onion, when onion is transparent and almost carmelized add 1 (8 oz can) diced green chiles.

(You can also use cubed ham, bacon, taco meat, diced chicken, etc. and substitute any veggies you like: mushrooms (saute first), broccoli (steamed first), mixed vegetables) Go to Betty Crocker dot com for over 200 variations.

Pour meat/veggie mixture into greased 9 inch pie plate.

Mix 1/2 cup bisquick
1 cup milk
1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt (depending on the saltiness of your meat)
1/8 tsp pepper
2 eggs
and 1 cup grated cheese

Pour over meat mixture.
Bake at 400 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes (until knife inserted comes out clean). Cool 5 minutes before serving.

Quiche
from BH&G New Cook Book - My Fave!!!

3 beaten eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 c. chopped green onion
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
dash ground nutmeg
3/4 cup chopped cooked chicken, ham, etc.
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (swiss, cheddar, jack, or havarti - 6 oz.)
1 T. all-purpose flour

Preheat oven according to package instructions, prepare pastry crust (I use ready crust that comes in a roll or else a regular freezer pie crust). Bake crust as for 1 crust pie.

Meanwhile, in a bowl stir together eggs, milk, onion, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in cooked meat. Toss together grated cheese and flour. Add to egg mixture; mix well.

Pour egg mixture into hot pastry shell. Bake in 325 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes or till a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If necessary, cover edge of crust with foil to prevent over browning. Let stand for 10 minutes. Serves 6.

Other great quiche combinations: cheddar, green chile, onion & sausage; swiss, onion, spinach & bacon; ham & cheddar; mushroom, cheddar, bacon; anything that sounds good to you. (Saute the veggies/ cook the meat, before adding so that most of the liquid is out of them.)
