"He openeth, and no man shutteth."-Revelation 3:7
    
    Jesus is the keeper of the gates of paradise and before every believing soul He setteth an open door, which no man or devil shall be able to close against it. What joy it will be to find that faith in Him is the golden key to the everlasting doors. My soul, dost thou carry this key in thy bosom, or art thou trusting to some deceitful pick-lock, which will fail thee at last? Hear this parable of the preacher, and remember it. The great King has made a banquet, and He has proclaimed to all the world that none shall enter but those who bring with them the fairest flower that blooms. The spirits of men advance to the gate by thousands, and they bring each one the flower which he esteems the queen of the garden; but in crowds they are driven from the royal presence, and enter not into the festive halls. Some bear in their hand the deadly nightshade of superstition, or the flaunting poppies of Rome, or the hemlock of self- righteousness, but these are not dear to the King, the bearers are shut out of the pearly gates. My soul, hast thou gathered the rose of Sharon? Dost thou wear the lily of the valley in thy bosom constantly? If so, when thou comest up to the gates of heaven thou wilt know its value, for thou hast only to show this choicest of flowers, and the Porter will open: not for a moment will He deny thee admission, for to that rose the Porter openeth ever. Thou shalt find thy way with the rose of Sharon in thy hand up to the throne of God Himself, for heaven itself possesses nothing that excels its radiant beauty, and of all the flowers that bloom in paradise there is none that can rival the lily of the valley. My soul, get Calvary's blood-red rose into thy hand by faith, by love wear it, by communion preserve it, by daily watchfulness make it thine all in all, and thou shalt be blessed beyond all bliss, happy beyond a dream. Jesus, be mine for ever, my God, my heaven, my all.

Chesseburger 'n Fries Casserole

Tempt my Tummy Tuesdays

So I won this book.....

I have made a few recipes from it, but my dd was looking through it and came across some helpful pages of common substitutes.  Actually there are about 6 pages.  now how cool is that I won't have to run to my computer I can just pick up my favorite cookbook company....Gooseberry Patch.  WooHoo!

Now for the recipe...I love simple things...of course I tweaked it a small bit cause I didn't have exactly what was called for. 

p. 111 of Simple Shortcut Recipes by Gooseberry Patch


Brown 2 lbs of ground beef and chopped onions, drain and place in greased 9x13 pan or baking dish. 

 Mix together 1 can of mushroom soup and cheddar cheese soup ( I didn't have cheese soup so I used cheese spread in it's place)  spread over ground beef mix.





layer package of frozen french fries on top...(as you can see I didn't have french fries so I used tator tots.)  Bake in 350 degree oven for 45-55 min. until fries are golden.

Garnish with favorite burger condiments:  catsup, dill pickles, mustard, topped tomatoes, onions, etc.  (I just set these on the table and let everyone fix theirs as they like.)
My family started off taking a bite or two on their plate plain.  Then building on it...
catchup... taste
mustard... taste
pickles...taste
The verdict....
hubby liked plain or just ketchup
dd liked ketchup and mustard
and me...  I loved the works.

There you have it folks plain, quick, simple, and yummy all rolled into one.

    I haven't made a casserole like this in ages! Now that it's cold and snowy here, maybe it's time to try this one out! I'm sure the whole family will like this one!
