Matt found this recipe in a magazine yesterday. It was part of an ad for Campbell's soups.
1 lb ground beef
1 can (10 3/4 oz) Campbell's Tomato Soup
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup water
6 flour tortillas (6 "), cut into 1" pieces
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Cook beef in 10 " skillet until well browned, stirring to break up meat. Pour off fat.
Stir in soup, salsa, water, tortillas. Heat to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 min. Stir. Top with cheese. Makes 4 servings.
-We haven't had it yet but hopefully will try it tomorrow. It just looked really good. :-)

Pizza Bread
1 Tbs. dry yeast
1-1/2 cups warm water
2 Tbs. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup melted buter, margarine, shortening
1 egg, slightly beaten
3-1/2 to 4-1/2 cups flour
toppings/filling:
these can vary, i use a cup or two of cheese and however much meat that you want. It's all good.
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the other ingredients in order given, mixing well after each addition. Add enough flour to make a soft dough that can be shaped with tour hands. At this point i kinda treat it like cinnamin rolls. Roll it out flat throw some cheese on and add pepperoni. you can add whatever cheeses, meats, whatever that you want, heck, you don't even have to let rise. Rolll it up put it on a greased pan.
Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees. brush with butter if desired.
*note this is pretty much the same as the no knead yeast rolls recipe, just how you treat the dough is different, cooking is something you can find great joy in, you aren't compleatly governed by rules and you get to eat it when your done.
