this is a pretty good budget stretcher; i know my mom used it frequently when i was growing up... (only then you couldn't purchase cheese already shredded for you!)

 

1 bag shredded cheese (I use the mexican blend)

1/2 onion (my mom used white, i use red, it's your preference)

1 can black olives

1 bag of rolls (about 10 to a bag)

 

preheat oven to 400 degrees

 

toss 1/2 onion into food processor pulse until diced finely

empty onion into large bowl

toss olives into food processor and pulse until diced finely (I don't even clean it out after the onion is diced)

empty olives into same large bowl

add bag of shredded cheese

 

combine

 

take rolls and cut off just the very tops

scoop out the insides as if making a mini soup "bread bowl"

stuff cheese mixture into roll (when it melts it will "reduce" a bit)

top with top of roll

wrap in foil

 

put in 400 degree over for approximately 20-30 minutes. If refrigerated, it may take longer. These are also good to freeze for future use.
