CREAMY CHEESY SPINACH DIP
This recipe doesn't contain mayo or sour cream like most, so it's very cheesy and very delicious. I'm asked for the recipe every time I make it. For those who don't want a strong cheese like Cheddar, you can replace it with anything you like or even leave it out altogether. I like adding the Cheddar because it adds color and a little more flavor.

BASIC DOUGH (FOR SPINACH, MEAT, AND CHEESE PIES) MIDDLE EAST, PA
This recipe came out of my Sahtane Middle East cookbook. It calls for water, but I replaced the water with milk, and I liked it much better. Also, when I put the dough to rise for the second time, I put olive oil underneath the balls and coated them with olive oil as well. This gives the dough an extra kick of softness, and when it bakes it comes out incredibly delicious!! I am going to post the filling for these in a seperate recipe, but I believe this dough can also be used for pizza as well as a number of other things!

Steps:
- Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water (or milk). Sprinkle with sugar, cover, and let rise.
- In a large pan mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and butter/shortening.
- Gradually add the lukewarm water, mixing and kneading until dough is smooth and tender.
- Cover with a blanket and put in a warm place for two hours or until dough rises.
- Cut dough into pieces 2" to 2 1/2" in diameter. Form into balls by tucking the dough underneath the balls to make them round and smooth. Let rest for 30 minutes between blankets. (This is where I spread the olive oil under the dough, and coated the ball with olive oil as well. I also left it uncovered. ).
- This dough is now ready to be used with various fillings. :).

CHEDDAR CHEESY MEAT PIE
This is from our Church cookbook, it's very simple and so yummy! Something different when you don't know what to do with ground beef. Serve it with mashed potatoes or French Fries and the kids will love it. This is the kid friendly version, you can spice it up with some chiles or hot pepper sauce if you want to. We like it as is served with HP sauce.

CHEESY BEEF AND SPINACH MANICOTTI
The filling amount should be plenty to stuff 14 shells with maybe a small amount left over --- to remove the bitterness from the spinach, cook firstly according to package directions --- to save time you may cook the ground beef/spinach mixture up to step #4 and refrigerate for up to 2 days. For easier stuffing, warm the mixture in the microwave to just room temperature before adding in the mozzarella cheese and eggs, then proceed with recipe as stated --- ground beef or bulk Italian sausage may be used successfully. This recipe was developed and tested using both on different occasions. I prefer the Italian sausage meat, you could use half of each if desired --- also see my recipe #72308.
