Season 2, Episode 17: Cheeseburger and Chickpea Casseroles: A Hybrid Recipe Two Dish Meal For Vegetarians and Meat Eaters. This delicious savory meal is perfect for something hearty when you are looking to feed both vegetarians and meat-eaters. This meal prep feeds two diets! I love this dish, especially for fall, because it's integral with a cozy feel good warm comfort foods vibe. You can get protein whether you are a vegetarian or someone who eat meat with this combo dish recipe. Family recipes: make two dishes from one recipe! This particular version of the family meal recipe creates 2/3 of the meal as containing meat, and 1/3 meatless. Modify this to fit your needs. #hybridrecipe #vegetarian #mealprep #recipes #cooking #familymeals #casserole
Ingredients:
20-24 slices of whole wheat bread (I like 100% whole wheat bread) (divided, number varies with bread slice size and pan size)
4 1/2 c. shredded mild cheddar cheese (divided)
1 1/2 c. chopped onion
1 c. chopped celery
1 1/2 c. ketchup
1/2 cu. mustard
1 tbsp olive oil
4 1/2 c. skim milk (divided into 3 cups and 1 1/4 c.)
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
6 eggs (divided into 4 and 2)

1. Brown ground beef. Set aside.
2. Cook onion and celery in olive oil until tender.
3. Combine cooked veggies with ketchup, wet mustard, dry mustard, salt, pepper to make a sauce. Stir well. Set aside.
3. Grease pans with cooking spray:
4. Toast and butter all slices of bread.
5. Line pans (13x10 for meat portion, 11.5 x2--a 2 Qt. pan) with buttered toast, cut slices in half as needed to cover the full pan.
6. Spread a spoonful of ketchup/mustard sauce on each slice of bread.
7. Spread half the ground beef across the slices in the designated meat pan, and half the chickpea in sauce over slices in the vegetarian designated pan.
8. Sprinkle some cheese evenly over both pans, reserving half for the next sprinkling.

14. Pour the appropriate egg mixtures over the correct pans, ensuring you pour evenly and cover the bread in all spots to wet it.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
