Easy Pizza Roll

Easy Pizza Roll

Frozen bread dough has long been a freezer staple for me.  I use it for cinnamon rolls, fresh bread for soups, or this long time family favorite.  The hardest part of this recipe is remembering to set out the dough in the a.m. to rise!  

Pin HERE for later!

What you need:
1 loaf frozen bread dough
2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
1 jar marinara sauce
pizza toppings of choice *

Make It:
Allow bread dough to thaw and rise on a greased parchment lined cookie sheet for the day.  (usually about 6 hours).  You can get it out in the a.m., spray with some non stick oil on top, put a piece of saran wrap or parchment over and cover with a towel.  Let it rise all day!

When ready to prep, punch down the dough and shape into a rough rectangle on the cookie sheet.  Sprinkle with toppings and cheese.  Carefully roll up and seal the ends very well.  Place seam side down on the baking sheet.

Bake at 350 for 25 minutes until brown and it sounds ‘hollow’ when tapped.  Allow to rest 10 minutes before slicing into individual spirals.  Serve with warm marinara for dipping.

* I LOVE to use leftovers in this.  Meatballs, shredded chicken, steak, pulled pork, taco meat or sloppy joe filling is EXCELLENT!  Add whatever cheese you like.  Pepperjack, cheddar, colby-jack, anything goes!

Weekly Meal Plan 9/2 – 9/8

Alright, let’s do this again! I am getting comfortable with knowing I have lots of options for meals and can pull off a dinner almost every night.

Sunday: Crock Pot ‘Rotisserie‘ Chicken
Meijer had boneless chicken on sale for $1.49 pound so I STOCKED UP.  I am going to make a bunch in the crockpot to stash in the freezer for some meals and lunches.  I will type up my recipe later for this!  It is a great seasoning blend and just toss in the crockpot.  I shred it and use it later for tacos, chicken & noodles, salads, etc.  

Crock Pot Rotisserre Chicken 

5-6 large Chicken Breasts
1 T. Paprika (not smoked or hot)
2 t. Kosher Salt
1 T. Dried Minced Onion
1/2 t. Garlic Powder
1/2 t. Black Pepper
1/8 t. Cayenne Pepper

Blend all the spices together.  Put 1 layer of chicken into crock pot.  Cover liberally with spice blend.  Put rest on top and put remaining spice blend on top.  Cook on low for 6 hours or until tender and easily pulls apart.

Can be eaten as is or shredded and served in tacos, chicken & noodles, in salads, etc.

Monday: Labor Day Holiday
Not sure on our plans for the day, so I am going to leave this open and flexible.  It may be a day of new home work and a order for pizza delivery!

Tuesday: Creamy Potato Soup Left Over Remix
Remember those mashed potato bowls last week?  I am going to use the leftover potatoes for SOUP! Yup, it doesn’t get much easier than this.  Potatoes, milk, salt, pepper, garlic, heat to desired consistency.  Add extra veggies you have stashed plus some ham or bacon.  INSTANT SOUP!!!

Wednesday: Tator Tot Casserole
Classic cream soup, ground meat, green beans and tots! Oh yes, its so good!

Thursday: Hot dogs and mac & cheese. 
Tumbling night so easy it is! I don’t do this too often, but I like to reserve it for busy nights and my kids think its a special treat!

Friday: Bread Dough Pizza Rolls
We did leftovers a few times last week I didn’t get this made, so I am going to repeat it this week because its a true family favorite!

12 Minute Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes

12 Minute Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes are a STAPLE for family meals at my house.  I always dread the process of boiling the water, watching for boil overs, and then CLEANING UP the inevitable starchy mess created when the pot does boil over.  Come on, we know it ALWAYS happens!

Since getting my Instant Pot, making mashed potatoes has become easy peasy!  Set it and forget it has never been a more true statement!  Did I mention they are done in 12 minutes? 


Ingredients:
4 pounds (appx. 8 medium) Potatoes, Peeled and Chunked
1 T. Salt
4 T. Butter
1/2 c. milk
2 T. Sour Cream (optional)
Salt & Pepper to taste

Make it:
After peeling and cutting potatoes (I cut mine into eighths), add to Instant Pot (no trivet).  Add cold water, just until all potatoes are covered.  Add 1 T. salt.  Cover and seal pressure cooker and make sure vent is set to seal.

Set cooker to High Pressure Cook for 12 minutes.  After it comes to pressure, the timer will start.  Once the timer goes off, you can either let it naturally release or after a few minutes do a manual release.  I usually let mine naturally release while I finish the rest of my meal prep!  With a spoon lift up release valve, turn half a turn counterclockwise (be careful of any extra steam that may be left).  NOW, all the steam and pressure is released and you can take off the lid.

CAREFULLY lift out the Instant Pot insert and drain the water.  Add potatoes back into insert and add butter, milk and sour cream.  Mash to desired consistency, add more milk if needed, and salt and pepper to taste!

Weekly Meal Plan 8/26 – 9/1

We are back to school now and I am hoping to keep up with making meals each night.  I want Nolan to help with something whenever possible.  He has developed a love of cutting things up and stirring!

Sunday: Meatballs and Pasta
Trying to using up freezer ingredients is a major goal right now.  Found some ground pork so meatballs it is.  I am going to make them on the small side so we can repeat it later in the week as meatball subs!  PLUS, I am going to make a whole pound of pasta so I can use the left over noodles for Nolan’s lunch during the week! Getting a lot of out this meal’s prep!

Monday: Mashed Potato Bowls
Always a big hit with my kids, mashed potatoes, gravy, chicken, & corn are layered into steaming hot deliciousness!  I use my Instant Pot to make the potatoes in no time and NO BOILED OVER WATER!

Set cooker to High Pressure Cook for 12 minutes.  After it comes to pressure the timer will start.  Once the timer goes off, you can either let it automatically release or after a few minutes do a manual release.  I usually let mine automatically release while I finish the rest of my meal prep!

When ready to prep, punch down the dough and shape into a rough rectangle on the cookie sheet.  Sprinkle with toppings and cheese.  Carefully roll up and seal the ends very well.  Place seam side down on the baking sheet.

Instant Pot Fall Off the Bone Country Style Ribs

By Leave a Comment

Instant Pot Fall Off the Bone Country Style Ribs

Ingredients:

  • 3 Pounds of Country Style Ribs (Bone In or Out)
  • 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Each
    • Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Mustard Powder, Cumin & Paprika
  • 3/4 Cup Dr. Pepper or Cherry Coke (Beef Broth can be used if you prefer)
  • 1 Cup BBQ Sauce (any brand or flavor)

Instructions:

  • Combine all dry ingredients together in a small bowl
  • Massage the dry rub on ribs (both sides)
  • Put the soda or beef broth in the bottom of an Instant Pot and add the trivet. (I have cooked them with and without the trivet in my instant pot)
  • Add ribs to pressure cooker and pour half a cup of the BBQ sauce over the top of them.
  • Seal the Instant Pot lid and put it in the LOCK position.  Make sure vent is in the SEALING position.
  • Cook on Manual, High Pressure for 45 Minutes. Once pressure has built, the valve will pop up and timer will start to countdown

  

Natural Release Method:

Once timer has gone off, the ribs are done, the instant pot will start beeping and the digital display is at Zero… Push CANCEL to stop the reheat mode (digital display will show off) NOW WAIT…. the pressure is going to slowly release on its own. This will take about 20 to 25 minutes.

THEY ARE DONE. With a spoon (safety first) lift up release valve, turn half a turn counterclockwise (be careful of any extra steam that may be left) Now, and ONLY NOW can you release the lid! Don’t they smell wonderful?

With tongs (those yummy ribs are obviously going to be hot) take them out (they will be falling apart tender) and put on a serving platter, drizzle to your liking the reserved portion of the BBQ sauce you have left……. ENJOY!
