Cowboy Dinner Topped With Breadsticks

Cowboy Dinner is made with ground beef, cheese, beans, salsa, vegetables and topped with breadsticks for a hearty meal just like the cowboys like.

Dice the celery, green pepper
and onion small, then set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat,
cook the ground beef until
no pink remains.

Add the celery, green pepper, onion and
cook until the vegetables are tender.

Add the rest of the ingredients, except
for the bread stick dough, then stir
until the cheese melts.

Spray a 3 quart baking
dish with cooking oil.

Pour the ground beef mixture
into the baking dish.

Gently remove each breadstick. Twist the
dough and place on top of the ground
beef mixture, making sure to cover
the ground beef mixture completely.

Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 350º
oven for 20 minutes or until hot, bubbly
and the bread sticks are a golden brown.

when I was a single mom without much money, I used to make my kids a ‘cowboy roundup casserole” and this reminds me of it )
How clever Beth, a great way to get their veggies in.

You are a kitchen genius! Tell any little boy that this is a cowboy dinner, and I would DARE you to find one that wouldn’t just gobble it up!!!
You are so kind and I bet you’re right, they can even wear their cowboy hat before dinner. Lol

You’re welcome!
Looks fantastic, Diane! Printing now…
Thank you Kellye and enjoy!
Love a recipe with a shortcut.
It’s funny because in my younger days I didn’t care how much time it took preparing food, now, the quicker the better. Lol
This would be so good to have right now. I’m very hungry and more so now!
Thank you Ab! How’s your Mom doing?
She’s doing ok, thankfully! Hard to believe it’s almost been two years since the stroke happened. Grateful she’s still around. Thanks for asking, Diane!
That’s great news Ab! 💕

A most clever topping Diane!
Thank you Dorothy❣️
I think this cowgirl would go for it too! Looks delicious and so easy!
Lol Thank you 🥰
Thank you so much!
If it’s good for a cowboy, it’s good for anybody!
I like the way you think! Lol
Thank you!
Diane – I love hearty food, especially with the colder weather settling in. I know when I use the stove/oven again (hopefully in this decade), this might be one of my first meals. 🙂
It was a nice change of topping from the normal cornmeal etc. I hope you get a chance to try this Linda.
I hope so too Diane. I should get another table for that laptop, but I already have a small table in the kitchen as I have no room on the countertop. Constant clutter and disorganization here.
Wow that sounds like a quick tasty meal!
Thank you it really was. 🥰
This looks ultra delicious! The breadstick topping is a brilliant idea.
Thank you!
This look tasty! I hope you don’t mind if linked your recipe in my blog!
Not at all, I appreciate it. Thank you!
