Fresh Blueberry Pie

When I was growing up, my grandmother and I would spend hours picking fresh blueberries and making pies.  Here is her recipe.

Ingredients:

1 cup self-rising flour

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1 stick melted butter

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1/3 cup lemon juice

1 pint blueberries

8 ounces cool whip

Crust Directions:

Mix flour, sugar, and nuts.  Pour in the melted butter and mix by hand.  Pat into a pie pan and bake @ 350 for about 15 minutes.  Cool completely.

Filling Directions:

Mix sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice very well.  Add cool whip and gently fold in blueberries until mixed completely.  Add to cooled pie crust and chill in the refrigerator until time to serve.

Meatball Sliders

Ingredients:

12 Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
6 slices of provolone cheese
1 cup marinara sauce
1 T olive oil
1 lb ground beef
1 egg
1/2 T salt
1/2 T pepper
1 T garlic powder
1/4 C parmesan cheese
1/2 T basil

4 T butter
1 T garlic powder
2 T parmesan cheese

Directions:

1.  Mix ground beef, egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, parmesan cheese, and basil.  Roll into 12-15 meatballs.

2.  Drizzle olive oil in a skillet and allow the pan to heat up.  Cook meatballs for about 5 minutes until they are thoroughly browned.  Drain fat.

3.  Add marinara sauce and cook until sauce thickens.

4.  Slice dinner rolls in half and place half a slice of cheese on each.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

5.  Add a meatball and a little sauce to each dinner roll.  Place sliders in a baking dish with sides.

6.  Melt butter and add garlic powder and parmesan cheese.  Brush butter mixture onto each slider.

7.  Bake for 5-10 minutes, until golden brown.
