As an involved student, I know what it’s like to prepare a dish for a potluck on a budget, last minute of course. My last student potluck included about seven store-bought desserts, soda and one salad. Not good. We definitely need some better side dishes, and here’s one that’s easy, fast and cheap!
Ingredients:
• Hot dog or hamburger buns, 6-12 (or more if you need, each bun makes 2 pieces)
• Shredded cheddar cheese, about 2 cups per 6 buns
Directions:
• Preheat oven to 550°, set it on broil
• Separate the tops and bottoms from each bun, then place the halves on a cookie sheet
• Sprinkle on the cheese, as much per bun as you feel is needed
• Pop them in the oven for about 5 minutes, watching closely so they don’t burn.
Easy enough! Since each bun makes two pieces of the cheese bread, 12 buns could be enough for a group of 24. Buns are about $2.00 for 6-8, and a bag of shredded cheese is about $2.00 as well. That adds up to about six bucks for a yummy, home-cooked side dish that’s better than store-bought cake! Enjoy, ladies!
