    Do you know about how long that cheese dip from Sam’s lasts in the fridge before it goes bad? You and Tamara have talked about it and I want to try it but I’m afraid it would go bad before my husband and I could eat it all. Everything looks delicious! I need you to just move to Tennessee and cook for me 😆

    Good job Taylor! If you are ever out of sausage for pizza casserole, you can use ground beef, just cook it with onion and garlic, drain & sesaon with italian seasoning and fennell seed, garlic & onion powder and a small pinch of salt & pepper. I do that all the time & nobody know's that it is not sausage…=)

    I make something like the pizza pasta here. We do mac n cheese pizza, where the velveeta shells mac and cheese is the bottom layer(prepared) and we put our pizza toppings over it, and it makes a really good casserole. My kids absolutely love this one. Thank you for so many ideas, I enjoy your videos a lot.

    Okay so I see the blue cheese….and I’m not sure how your family really likes blue cheese/gorgonzola but here’s one my signature dishes!!

    Penne Gorgonzola!

    You can serve with Chicken, Steak, or really by itself. This is similar to a dish at a restaurant I use to work at..It is just so delicious and different than your standard alfredo.

    I’ve never actually mesasured everything but here’s the rough list

    -At least a 6 oz container of crumbled Gorgonzola or blue cheese . A “wedge” of Gorgonzola would work too…usually when I go to Trader Joe’s or Aldi I’ll just get the wedge
    -3/4 cup of Parmesan (usually just use shredded)
    -carton of whipping cream (10 oz)
    -1/2 stick butter/margarine (or can substitute nice splash of preferred oil)
    -at least 2 tablespoons of garlic (it makes a difference BUT can add more or less)
    -a “bunch” of asparagus – chopped in about inch sized pieces
    -salt and pepper to taste
    -diced tomatoes for topping if you like
    -whatever protein you want for topping!
    -1 box of penne pasta (save some pasta water!)

    Instructions
    -cook pasta per usual, saving some pasta water
    -Pan sear steak or chicken in a large deep pan. Season meat to your preference. Blackening seasoning takes it to another level!
    -Once protein is done cooking…take out and let rest
    -add 1/2 stick butter (or oil) and asparagus and sauté
    -When asparagus gets a nice color on it throw in garlic and continue to sauté till garlic is fragrant
    -Add in 3/4 carton of heavy whipping cream
    -crumble in Gorgonzola and Parmesan
    -stir frequently and let everything come together
    -at this point you can add more whipping cream or pasta water to the sauce to your liking. I usually end up using all of the whipping cream and maybe a heavy splash of pasta water. Sauce will thicken if you let it stand
    -Season with salt and pepper to taste
    -add in pasta and stir to combine everything
    -At this point you can cut up protein and add on top after serving OR toss it in the sauce with everything
    -top with diced tomatoes and Parmesan

    And bam! Yummy penne Gorgonzola !!
