Beef Empanadas

1 Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust, cut in half (makes 2 empanadas)
1 cup cooked ground beef (season with chili powder or some Taco Bell seasoning & some diced onions & S&P)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
jarred chopped jalapenos or canned green chiles ( a sprinkle per empanada)

Preheat your GT Xpress. Re-heat or cook your beef. You will have two half moon shapes of crust. Divide your jalapenos or chiles, cheese, & beef onto each crust, but pile it all on one half on each half moon. Pull the crust on top over the filling side & crimp edges with a fork or by tucking and folding edges. Poke the top of each pastry once with a fork to vent. Spray wells with Pam or cooking spray. Cook 15 min., flip over (carefully) and cook another 5 min. Serve with salsa or taco sauce & sour cream, if desired.

Wake Me Up Breakfast Burrito

1 -8"round tortilla
just a smear of chile garlic sauce (with the green lid in the Asian section)
a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese
3 leftover tator tots
2 Oscar Mayer pre-cooked bacon strips, torn in half
1 egg
a splash of milk
S&P, to taste

Preheat your GT Xpress. Beat egg, milk, S&P. Spray 1 well with Pam. Pour egg into one well. Cook 2 min., flip, cook another 2 min. Meanwhile microwave tortilla for 15 sec. to get it workable. Spread chile sauce all over the tortilla. I only used 1/8 tbsp. because a little goes a long way. Top with cheese, tator tots, and bacon. When egg is done put on top. Tuck in sides and roll into a burrito. Place into one well. Cook 2 more min. just to lightly crisp the tortilla.

Taco Lasagna

2 hard taco shells, cracked down the middle (just press down on the taco and the shell should split down the middle perfectly)
refried beans
salsa
shredded cheddar cheese
black olives, chopped
a sprinkle of chopped jarred jalapeno or chopped green chiles
cheeze wiz
a sprinkle of chopped chives or green onion/scallion
white meat chicken (from a roaster chicken or rotisseree chicken)

Preheat your GT Xpress. Assemble lasagna like so: shell, spread beans on the shell, top with a dab of salsa, shredded cheese, black olives, jalapeno, a spoon of cheeze wiz, chives/onion, shredded chicken. Place another shell on top and repeat. The top shell should not be spread with beans or any topping, so that when you close the lid it doesn't make a mess. Put into well. Cook 5-7 min. until warm and melty. Top with a dollop of sour cream & more salsa. Wear a bib! This is really messy! But yummy!

Chicken & Bean Burrito

1 soft taco / flour tortilla
2 tbsp refried beans
1 tbsp salsa
1 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp black olives, chopped
a sprinkle of chopped jarred jalapeno or chopped green chiles
1 tbsp cheeze wiz
a sprinkle of chopped chives or green onion/scallion
a handful of white meat chicken (from a roaster chicken or rotisseree chicken)

Preheat your GT Xpress. Microwave tortilla for 15 sec. so it is easier to roll. Assemble burrito. Tuck in sides and roll up carefully. Put into well. Cook 5-7 min. until warm and melty. Top with a dollop of sour cream & more salsa.

Tuna Bacon Melt

1 can of tuna, drained and prepared with mayo for tuna salad
1 slice American cheese
2 slices Pre-cooked Bacon
2 (1" thick) slices of loaf bread, toasted

Assemble your sandwich, cut in half, and place one half in each well. Cook 3-5 min., just until cheese melts. (see photo)

Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Bagel Scramble

1 egg, scrambled
1 slice cheese, folded in half
2 slices pre-cooked bacon
1 Western Bagel (or any small bagel), split

Preheat your GT Express. Scramble an egg in a small bowl. Toast bagel in toaster. When bagel is toasted squeeze it slightly to create an oval shape, so that it will fit into one well of the GT Express. Spray wells lightly with cooking spray. Push bagel bottom in to fit into the well. Top with bacon, then cheese. Carefully pour the egg on top of the bagel, being careful not to drip the egg over the side. You want to pour it slowly. It's okay that the egg drips off the sandwich into the well. You'll see. Put the other half of your bagel on top, and close the lid. Cook about 5 min. I keep peaking in after 4 min. to see when the egg looks cooked. As soon as egg looks solid and cooked, put it on your plate and let stand 1 min. before eating because it will be very hot.

Toasted Bagel, Sausage, Eggs, & Cheese

1 large bagel, split & toasted, then cut in half to fit wells
2 eggs
2 Brown & Serve or Jone's pre-cooked sausages (or any pre-cooked sausage)
1 slice American cheese, cut in half

Split your sausages length-wise (see photo) to make thinner. Place into your GT Xpress. Cook 2-3 min. Meanwhile, toast your bagel in your toaster & cut in half to fit wells. Remove sausages & set aside. Dry up any juice from the sausages with a paper towel to clean the GT Xpress. Be careful not to burn yourself. Lay the bottom half of the bagel into both wells. Carefully crack and egg onto each bagel and poke the yoke. Yes, you actually WANT to break it. LOL. Cook 1 min. Top each egg with a couple pieces of sausage & 1/2 slice cheese & put the top back on the bagel. Cook 3-4 min. Keep peeking at it so that it's cooked to YOUR liking. If you want to keep it on another min., then do so. (see photo)
(Makes 2 bagel halves)

Egg McMuffin My Way

1 english muffin, fork split
1 egg
1 slice pre-cooked bacon
1 slice American cheese

Preheat your GT Xpress. I like to toast my english muffin in my toaster first & butter it. Beat egg with a fork. Spray well with cooking spray. Pour egg into well. Cook 2 min. Flip over & place bacon on top. Cook 1 more min. While waiting for egg to cook, place your cheese on the bottom half of your muffin. Place egg on top, and I fold the egg to double stack it as I place it on the muffin bottom. It makes a fatter sandwich. If you want, you can put the top of your muffin on and place it back into the well & cook 1 min. (it will crisp & heat your muffin through). (see photo)

Tuna Melt Rollup

1 Flax Rollup
Prepared Tuna salad with mayonnaise
1 thin slice of deli swiss cheese (or half if it's thick)
1 thin slice of American cheese

Preheat your GT Xpress. Prepare your tuna salad with mayo to your liking. I like to add onion and celery, onion and garlic powder, & black pepper to mine. Place cheeses on rollup, so that they almost cover the entire rollup. Spread on the tuna salad. Tuck in sides and roll up & place into well. Cook 5-6 minutes. (see photo)
