Make Your Own Croutons

By -

 
If you’re like me, the croutons are the BEST part of a salad! 
Yummm!!!  
This is an easy recipe for delicious homemade microwave croutons - I have been making these for years and it's a great way to use up left over bread or even sandwich trimmin's. It is also healthier for you as you are not buying the box 'o preservatives from the store.
:)
Yes, I know it uses a lot of Tupperware - if you are dying to have any of those pieces, you can check out my website www.BuyCoolTW.com, or you can use what you have on hand.

We also grab a few of these to top off that bowl of potato or tomato soup!

Microwave Croutons
Ingredients:
  • 5 cups bread cubes
  • ½ stick butter
  • 1 tbs. crouton seasoning**
  • 3 tbs. Parmesan cheese
Crouton seasoning:
3 tbs. garlic salt, 7 tsp. garlic powder, 7 tsp. onion powder, 2 tsp. basil, 2 tsp. oregano, 1 tsp. thyme, 1 tsp. marjoram, 1 tsp. white pepper. Put all spices into a Large Spice Shaker, seal & shake to combine. Makes enough for 10 batches of croutons

Directions:
Place bread cubes in Large Deep Vent ‘N Serve and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Melt butter in 1 cup Micro Pitcher on medium for about 1 minute. Stir in seasoning and stir into bread crumb mix and microwave on high for 3-4 min, stirring once. They should be crisp and almost dry (bread cubes will crisp as they cool). Store in a Modular Mate container to keep fresh.

Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs ...
