💭 Things to know

  • Cook enough ground beef for both the taco spaghetti and the million dollar spaghetti at the same time. It will save a few minutes of prep time.
  • You can put the dry rub on the meat and put it back in the refrigerator (covered) for up to 24 hours. The meat will soak up all those delicious flavors in the rub while it's waiting for you to get the grill going.
  • The Frito salad can be assembled all but the Fritos up to two days ahead of time. Stir the corn chips in just before serving.
  • Leftover Ranch chicken? Chop it all up into the gravy and serve it over the biscuits or inside the popovers.
  • Use this easy crispy chicken tenders recipe for the po'boys and make enough for the chicken and waffles, too.
  • Make extra waffles. They freeze well and are such a delicious breakfast!
  • Make both pies at the same time. The chess pie will be fine refrigerated for a couple of days.
  • Make a batch of the 30 minute baguettes and use them for both the po' boy sandwiches and to go with the spaghetti.
