These 25+ quick and easy weeknight dinner recipes are staples during the week with cheesy Sausage Bagel recipe is one of my favorites. Some nights supper is such a last-minute thought I wonder why I even try. Most nights I just want to heat up hot dogs for the kids and throw some apple slices at them. Ok, let's be honest, I do that sometimes. I am a long way from creative or inspired most weeknights. Sometimes I wish I was organized to make a list of items to have in the pantry, fridge or freezer for quick meal prep, but tonight that didn't exist.

I was really craving these little cheesy sausage bagels that my friend, Heather, makes from fresh pork sausage.

But, no mini bagels in the house. So, instead, we had some quick spaghetti thanks to my pampered chef micro cooker.

Honestly, anyone needing quick meals and storing most of their meat in the freezer needs one of these puppies. But, back to the craving that wasn't fulfilled tonight.

Start by splitting apart a bag of mini bagels. These bagels are sold at Wal-Mart and Aldi's in the bread areas. There are about a dozen bagels in a bag. So, you get quite a few. I have reheated these in the microwave for breakfast, so go ahead and make them all.

Brown a pound of sausage on the stove top or in your micro cooker. When it is complete browned, add about 8 ounces of velveeta and few teaspoons of dried parsley.

Then just spoon the cheese and meat onto the bagel halves.Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
