Pam's green bean cassarole

I love green bean casserole and that's what I'm contributing to our feast at my mom's. YUMMY and the cheesier the better. LOL!

I use green beans (cans)
cream of mushroom soup
velveeta cheese.
melt the cheese with the mushroom soup and then add the green beans and bake for about 30 or so minutes and eat till you can't eat anymore.

I don't know the measurements I use, i just mix till it's the way I like it, I'm a cheese FREAK! Cheese could probably make dirt taste good. ha ha!

Tortiere, a French-Canadian Meat Pie, By Rebecca

I make a dish called Tortiere-- it's a French-Canadian Meat Pie (my
entire family both sides is Canadian so we eat a lot of this.)

1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 lb ground beef
poultry seasoning (to taste preference)
salt & pepper (to taster preference)
bread crumbs (to thicken-- see directions to recipe-- it'll make sense!)
1 onion finely chopped (size of onion depends on your taste preference-- i use a large one)

Brown the onion in a frying pan with some butter or margarine. Mix the
meats together in a bowl and add to onion and cook for about 15
minutes. Cover meat and onion mixture with water (so that the meat is
barely covered with water) and cook for about 10 more minutes. Add
poultry seasoning, salt and pepper to your taste preference and also
add plain bread crumbs to thicken the meat/onion mix. Play with the
seasonings until it's how you like it.

Let meat mixture cool then put it into a pie pan lined with a pie
crust. Cover with another pie crust, cut slits into the top to let air
escape. Cook for 20 minutes at 450 then 10 min at 350.

As kids we ate it hot or cold and with ketchup. It's really tasty!
