Cowboy Dinner Topped With Breadsticks

59 Comments

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.

  19. 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. 🙂
