This week I think I went a little lazy as some of these meals are super simple! Gotta have one of those weeks every once in awhile. The new recipe I tried this week is the Spicy Tex-Mex Pizza and it was delicious!! We will be having this one again soon! Yum!
I tried to reuse several ingredients this week to save on costs and to use up left overs. The extra hot dog buns become garlic bread later in the week, while the pizza sauce that usually comes with the family size Boboli Pizza Crust packages I froze and used with the Pita Pizzas on Friday since the Tex-Mex Pizza doesn't use sauce.
If you ever try one of the recipes from my site I would love to know what you think of it or if you have any suggestions! Happy cooking this week!

Hot Dogs and Macaroni and Cheese
1 package hotdogs
Hotdog buns
1 box Macaroni and Cheese
1 - 12 inch thin-crust Italian bread shell (10 oz Boboli) or Italian flat bread (12.5 oz focaccia)
8 oz. Monterey Jack cheese with peppers or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (2 cups)
1 - 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 - 11 oz. can whole kernel corn with red and green peppers, drained
2 to 5 T. chopped pickled jalapeno peppers (optional - I did not use these)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place crust on an ungreased pizza pan or cookie sheet. Sprinkle with half of the cheese, all of the beans, corn and jalapeno peppers, if desired. Top with remaining cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting to serve. Makes 6 servings.
** We added salsa to the top when served. Also could add sliced chicken. **

Spaghetti with Hotdog Bun Garlic Bread
Make you favorite spaghetti with jarred sauce of choice and use the leftover hot dog buns to make garlic bread.
Garlic Bread:
Hot dog buns
butter
Garlic Garlic from Tastefully Simple or your favorite garlic (powder, salt, minced)
Parmesan Cheese (optional for topping)
Butter buns and add garlic topping and cheese. Bake in oven or toaster oven until butter and bread is slightly browned.
I've bought Garlic Garlic from Tastefully Simple and LOVE it as a topper to garlic bread. My sister-in-law sells Tastefully Simple products if you want to get some so leave me a comment and I'll give you her information. You can also look at the product on the Tastefully Simple website.
Pita Pizzas
1 package pita bread
1 package Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
1 jar pizza sauce or Boboli sauce packets that come with the crust from earlier this week (I freeze these packets as I make lots of pizzas without the sauce, like the Spicy Tex-Mex Pizzafrom earlier this week, and then pull them out and thaw them in warm water
Toppings for your pizza that your family will enjoy
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Make individual pizzas on pita bread as desired and cook in the oven until cheese is fully melted.
