We've had this before a few times and it is AMAZING, so I don't know we haven't eaten it more, but we just made it again the other night, and it was even better than I remember. This is Todd Wilbur's version of the recipe, and it is not to shabby!

This is the famous Lion House Roll recipe. Grandma Swenson made them at Christmas. I looked up the recipe and found this bonus video that shows you how to shape the rolls.

Stop the mixer and add 2 more cups of flour then mix on low speed until the ingredients are wet, then turn mixer on medium speed and mix for 2 minutes.

This is a Paula Dean recipe with a few additives (more parmesan, and the cream cheese is not in her recipe). I wouldn't mind mixing in a bit of the pepper jack cheese either. This is a real crowd pleaser at parties, and really easy to make. And of course, it's DELICIOUS! 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach 2 (13 3/4-ounce) cans artichoke hearts 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup sour cream 1 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan 1 cup grated pepper jack cheese 3 Tbs. cream cheese Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a casserole dish with nonstick spray. Heat the spinach in a microwave oven on high for 5 minutes and squeeze dry. Drain the artichoke hearts and coarsely chop in a food processor (or with a knife). Combine all the ingredients except the jack cheese in a large bowl. Stir well. Scrape into the prepared casserole dish and sprinkle the jack cheese on top. Bake for 30 minutes. Serve with bagel chips or tortilla chips.

So, I made this up a few nights ago when I wanted to make tinfoil dinners, only to discover I was out of tinfoil after I had cut up the ingredients. Kevin suggested I just make it like a casserole, and now I really like it! 1 lb. ground hamburger Whatever type of hamburger seasonings you normally use Brown sugar 3 potatoes, sliced 1 package sliced frozen carrots (obviously, you can use freshly diced carrots) 1/2 onion, diced frozen peas (as much as you want) 1 can mushroom soup grated cheese basil (or other regular seasonings you like to use) Place hamburger evenly across bottom of 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle hamburger seasonings over top. Sprinkle hamburger with brown sugar. (Brown sugar sounds a little strange, but I love the sweet taste it gives to the hamburger. But the second time we're eating this, Kevin informs me he likes it better without the brown sugar. So you'll have to try it half & half the first time to decide if you like it.) Then place potatoes, carrots...
