Main Dishes

1 package (12 ounces) Hawaiian sweet rolls
3 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 plum tomatoes, cut into 12 slices
6 slices Gruyere cheese, halved
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup butter, cubed
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Preheat oven to 350°. Without separating rolls, cut the package of rolls in half horizontally; arrange
bottom halves in a greased 11×7-in. baking pan. Spread mayonnaise evenly across the bottom halves. Top
each with turkey, bacon, pimientos, Gruyere and Parmesan cheese. Replace top halves of rolls.
In a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, 1-2 minutes.
Whisk in brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved;
drizzle over sandwiches.
Cover and bake 25 minutes. Uncover; bake until golden brown, 5-10 minutes

1 lb. ground turkey
1 large onion, chopped
3 cups salsa
1 15 oz can black beans, drained
1 15 oz can kidney beans, drained
12 corn tortillas
1 ½ cups sour cream
2-3 cups Mexican style grated cheese
Iceberg lettuce, shredded
Cherry tomatoes, cut in ½
Fresh cilantro, finely chopped
Tobasco, optional

Heat the oven to 400.
On medium heat, brown the meat with onions; drain. Drain the beans.
Stir in the salsa and beans into the meat mixture.
Wrap the 12 tortillas in a wet paper towel and microwave for 2 minutes until hot and soft.
Spray the bottom of a 9×13 pan. Lay 4 tortillas on the bottom of the pan (they will be
overlapping).
Cover with the meat mixture, sprinkle with cheese. Layer with 4 more tortillas.
Spread 1/3 of the sour cream over the tortillas and repeat the method above (tortillas, sour cream,
meat mixture, cheese), ending with cheese on the very top.
Cover with foil. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until casserole is heated through.
Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and cilantro. Serve
with Tabasco sauce.

1 1/2 lb. pork tenderloin

For the filling:

1 teaspoon olive oil

3 garlic cloves

Pinch red pepper flakes

5 cups packed baby spinach

Pinch salt

1/2 a 7 ounce container sundried tomatoes packed in oil (About 6 tomato pieces), chopped

3 ounces feta cheese

For the coating:

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

2 Tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons dijon mustard

1 Tablespoon rosemary, chopped

1 teaspoon lemon zest

3 cloves garlic, grated

1 heaping teaspoon Kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

For the filling:

Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the pepper flakes and grate the 3 cloves of garlic into the oil. Saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spinach and allow it to wilt, about 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle lightly with salt then remove the mixture from heat. Place the spinach mixture in a paper towel and squeeze gently (be careful, it’s hot!) to release any excess moisture. Place the spinach in a small bowl and stir in chopped tomatoes and feta cheese. Set aside.

For the topping:

Combine balsamic, oil, mustard, rosemary, lemon zest, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Set aside.

To assemble:

Slice the tenderloin down the middle lengthwise, leaving just about a 1/2 inch intact on one side. Open the top half and lay it flat. Spread the spinach mixture evenly down the center of the loin. Fold the top half back in place and use butcher’s string to tie it together in 3-4 places. Place the pork loin in a roasting pan then smear all sides with the topping.

Roast the tenderloin for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 degrees and roast an additional 20-30 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the loin reads at least 145 degrees. Allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

14 ounces sauerkraut
2 tablespoons Russian dressing (or Thousand Island, plus more for dipping)
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds (optional)
12 Hawaiian dinner rolls
8 slices Swiss cheese
1/2 pound deli corned beef (thinly sliced)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1-1/2 teaspoons dried onion soup mix
1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds
Garnish (Optional)
Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Drain the sauerkraut well and squeeze it dry with a clean kitchen
towel or paper towels. (NOTE: you want to get as much liquid out of the sauerkraut as possible.)
Place the sauerkraut in a medium-sized bowl and mix it with the Russian or 1000 Island dressing
and caraway seeds if using, and then set aside.
Cut the Hawaiian dinner rolls in half so you have tops and bottoms. Place the bottom portion of
the rolls, cut side up, into an 11×7 baking dish.
Add 4 slices of the swiss cheese on top of the rolls. Add the corned beef, followed by the
sauerkraut mixture. Add another 4 slices of cheese on top. Add the tops of the rolls on top of the
filling.
In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, onion soup mix, and poppy seeds. Brush the
butter mixture on top of the rolls, use it all!
Cover with nonstick foil or spray foil with cooking spray. Cover the baking dish with the foil and
bake for 25 minutes.
Take the foil off and bake an additional 5 minutes until toasted and browned.
Cut, garnish with optional parsley, and serve with more dressing for dipping, optional.
