Smothered Green Beans
I recently stayed with a friend and the first meal we had was smothered green beans. They were leftovers so I didn’t ask for the recipe, but I remember green beans, summer sausage, bacon, and potatoes. While researching a good recipe, I found a lot of variations that look delicious. Here’s something similar to what I had. I also recommend serving it over rice!

Stuffed Mushrooms
In my house we love mushrooms, especially stuffed mushrooms! Baby mushrooms filled with cream cheese, garlic, and classic spices topped with bread crumbs.

Now, I know what this sounds like. Hear me out, it’s not what you think! There are no noodles used in this incredible recipe. I learned this one from a friend of mine last year during a Friendsgiving get together, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Make sure to make extras of this one because I guarantee it’ll go fast!
