POTATO BACON SOUP INGREDIENTS: 6 large potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces (a little less than 5 lbs) 1 medium onion, chopped 2 cans chicken broth (14.5 oz each) 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.75 oz) 1 can celery soup (10.75 oz) 8 oz cream cheese, softened & cubed 1 tsp garlic powder 1/2 stick unsalted butter 1 package real bacon bits or 6 cooked crumbled bacon strips cheddar cheese, shredded green onions salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS: 1. Cook potatoes and onion in chicken broth along with just enough water to cover potatoes and onions. 2. Cook until tender. Once tender, I used a potato masher to mash a few to make the soup kinda thick. (Don’t mash ALL the potatoes because you still want chunks of potato in the soup!) 3. Add cubes of cream cheese. Remove from heat until cheese is melted. Return to low/medium heat.
4. Add half the bacon, soups, butter, and spices. 5. Cook for another 10 or so minutes. This is when you can add optional milk if you want a thinner soup. 6. Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, bacon pieces and green onions. Recipe courtesy of Amber Franks from justapinch.com

DIRECTIONS: 1. In large bowl, combine the meats,cheese, bread crumbs soaked in milk,onion, eggs, garlic, parsley.salt ,pepper,italian seasoning, and Worchestershire sauce 2. Mix thoroughly, but don't over mix, will make the meat- balls tough. The trick to moist meatballs is softening bread crumbs in the milk 3. Form into 2 inch balls, brown in skillet with small amount of oil, on med heat, or bake in the oven for 20 min at 375. I do the oven method,Grandma always browned hers in olive oil and a little vegetable oil combined. 4. Serve with your favorite spaghetti sauce. Recipe courtesy of Cassie * from justapinch.com
