Soak your vermicelli noodles for 20 minutes until soft then add to boiling water for one minute. These take no time to cook; also if you are going to have leftovers - refrigerate the noodles quickly to preserve them.

Bloomin' Onion Bread

We found this recipe today via The girl who eats everything, fantastic food blog! :). This bread did not disappoint and would be a great side to any pasta dish or just as an appetizer!

Ingredients:
Loaf of sour dough; or like round bread
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup chopped green onion
Poppy seeds (I forgot to pick these up at the store)
I used a pinch of garlic salt as well
Monterey Jack cheese

Directions:
Slice the bread lengthwise and crosswise; without cutting all the way through.
Put thin slices of cheese between the slits; place on foil and pour butter, onion and garlic salt mixture over top. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 12 mins; then uncover and cook for another 5 mins depending on your oven, until the cheese is melted.

Taco Crescent Casserole

I found this idea via the internet one day, I can’t recall where now, but I had some crescent rolls to use up and was looking for a different recipe that I hadn’t tried – this worked; and was delicious – tastes just like a taco!




Ingredients:

Ground beef

Chopped green pepper and onion

1 package taco seasoning

3/4 cup water

8 ounce can of crescent rolls

1 cup shredded cheese

Chopped lettuce

Diced tomato

Shredded cheese

Sour cream




Directions:

Preheat oven 350 degrees.

Brown ground beef and add green pepper and onion you could add beans or rice as well). Stir in seasoning mix and water. Simmer while preparing crust.

Place half of dough on bottom of pan, and press so that it covers an inch up the sides of the pan. Spread hot meat mixture over the dough and use the remaining dough to cover the top – pressing edges together to close.




Sprinkle the top with cheese and bake for 20 minutes.
Top just like you would a taco with lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream!

Enjoy!
