Cheree's Alfredo

INGREDIENTS:

1 pint of heavy cream
1 stick of butter
2 ounces cream cheese
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 pinch ground nutmeg

Salt and pepper to taste (I do a good 10 turns of salt and 10 turns of pepper out of my salt and pepper grinders) 

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a saucepan combine butter, heavy cream, and cream cheese over low to medium heat, stirring often. Simmer this until all is melted, and mixed well. 
2.  Add the Parmesan cheese, garlic salt and nutmeg. Simmer this for 15 - 20 minutes on low. Serve over cooked pasta.
3. Will keep in the fridge for 3-5 days. To reheat, warm in a saucepan and add milk as needed to thin.

Sloppy Joes

I stole this from Jody...cook extraordinaire. I made it with ground beef because I'm not as health conscience as she is. Maybe next time I'll try to be and purchase ground turkey instead ;-). Thanks for a fast, easy meal, Jody!
