1. Brown the hamburger with 1/2 of the French Onion Soup Mix.
2. Cook the Pepper, Onion and Mushroom in butter with the remaining French Onion Soup Mix.
3. Keep the roles together but slice the buns in half. Remove all of the tops as 1 unit.
4. Butter the bottom buns with garlic butter

We dipped the sandwiches in beef broth with salt. Next time I'm going to boil beef bouillon cubes in water to make a dip.

Baked and Breaded Eggplant (Kristi Original)

Ingredients
Olive Oil
1 Eggplant Sliced Horizontally. Leave the skin on.
Salt and Pepper
Progresso Italian Style Bread Crumbs

Instructions
1. Lightly cover a cookie sheet with olive oil. I painted some on with a pastry brush. Dip each piece of eggplant in olive oil, covering both sides. Then dip the eggplant in the bread crumbs covering both sides. Place the egg plant on the cookie sheet. Do this for all of the slices of eggplant. Do not overlap the egg plants. I had to use 2 cookie sheets. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. **NOTE: Eggplant soaks up the olive oil. So quickly put it in the olive oil.**

2. Bake the eggplant at 450 degrees F for 12-15 minutes until it is soft and turning a golden brown. Enjoy!

CSA Spicy Vegetable Surprise (Kristi Original)

I took the vegetables from my CSA Farm Share Box to create this spicy delight. I couldn't come up with a name, so I selected a boring name. :) Let me know if you have a better name. I felt this dish could be eaten plain, which is what we did. Or you could eat it in addition to egg, top this with scrambled eggs or use it in a egg burrito and add in spicy sausage.

Ingredients:
1 Clove of Crushed Garlic
Seasoning Salt to Taste
Cumin to Taste
Chili Powder to Taste
Tastefully Simple: Fiesta Party Mix to Taste
3-5 Red Potatoes Cubed (Depends on the size)
3-4 Tomatoes with no skin and diced
1/2-1/4 Onion Diced
1 Non Spicy Pepper (Green Bell, Red Bell..etc)
Jalapeno - As much ask you like for spice, diced
1/2 Cup of Water

Cook the potatoes in the microwave. Then dice them and add them to the pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Simmer all of the ingredients, except water, together at a low boil. When the mix starts to thicken up, add water to keep it from burning in the pan. Serve when all of the ingredients are fully cooked.
