I do not know about you, but I could live on these Potato and Beef Everything Bagel Croquettes. My family is completely and utterly obsessed with the exquisite taste of this delightful side dish.

Can you imagine how amazing this would be served over football season, and to even be the star food during potlucks? Perhaps the perfect food to share with your loved ones over the holidays. If you ask me, this is the perfect party food for any occasion.

I have always enjoyed croquettes, but with the addition of everything bagel seasoning, this classic French delicacy just got a facelift.

At this moment in time, these beauties are loved all over the world, and every country likely has its own version of croquettes. My Potato and Beef Everything Bagel Croquettes are just a bit different and I love it!

I partnered with Family Fare, a supermarket in the mid-west that is the “go-to” neighborhood grocery store that provides REAL VALUES, for real people, to create a recipe using Our Family products and showcase their Everything Bagel Seasoning. Which I am a huge fan of.

The Everything Bagel is a classic, known for its savory and complex blend of spices.

You can find Everything Bagel Seasoning and all the other ingredients at all of SpartanNash’s retail stores located in the Mid-West. With nearly 2,000 items located throughout the store, Our Family has something for everyone and every occasion.

Let’s get back to the seasoning. Our Family has taken the best part of the Everything Bagel and bottled it for you and your family!

Message from the sponsor:

Our Family’s Everything Bagel Seasoning Blend combines sesame seeds, sea salt, garlic, onion, and poppy seeds to create the seasoning blend you never realized your breakfast, lunch, and dinner was missing.

The Family Everything Bagel Seasoning Blend pairs well with anything your heart, or stomach, desires – pizza, popcorn, eggs, chicken, toast, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, vegetables.

My family is obsessed with this seasoning, and I really believe that you will be as well.

Simple and easy recipe for amazingly delicious Potato and Beef Everything Bagel Croquettes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Additional Time 30 minutes

Total Time 1 hour

Ingredients

Mashed Potatoes

• 1 box Our Family mashed potato, read the instruction on the box; Water, butter, salt, and milk
• 1 large egg, optional

Ground Beef

• 1 tablespoon oil + for frying
• 1//2 pound ground beef, 20/80
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Assembly

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs, more if needed
• 2.5 oz Our Family Everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

1. Follow instruction on the back of the mashed potato box.
   You would need 4-6 servings, depending on how many serving you are planning to
   make. 2 patties are enough per person. You can make 15-16 equal-sized
   croquettes.
2. Heat a skillet with oil and sauté on the medium-high heat.
   Cook until the meat is completely cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Keep stirring
   and breaking the meat into small chunks. If you have any leftover grease,
   please drain it out before mixing it with the mashed potatoes. You may add one
   egg in the mixture, but it is not necessary.
   
3. Wait for a few minutes until the meat is a bit cooled then
   add to the mashed potato bowl. Using a wooden spoon or similar mix together
   very well the mixture. Taste and see if it needs any more salt or pepper. If
   the mixture is too warm to work with refrigerating for 20 minutes and then make
   croquettes.
4. Make patties between 2 oz to 3 oz. You may use the scale to
   measure. Not necessary, but sometimes handy if you wish your croquettes to be
   the same size. You may also make bite-size croquettes as shown on the pictures.
   They are about the size of a golf ball.
5. Make patties and place on the tray lined up with parchment
   or wax paper. Cover with it as well and place the tray in the fridge for 30
   minutes so the croquettes could chill. You may prep them overnight as well.
6. After chilling, place three plates; flour, mixed eggs,
   breadcrumbs with everything bagel seasoning.
7. Drench into the flour on both sides as well as around, dip
   in the egg mixture then into breadcrumbs mixed with everything bagel; set aside
   and back on the tray. Continue until everything is complete.
8. Now, you may place it back to the fridge if you do not plan
   to fry these right away or just heat the oil and fry.
9. Line paper towel on the plate or cookie rack.
10. Heat about 1 cup of oil for frying.
11. Never over crowed the frying skillet. Fry 3 or 4 croquettes
    at the time at medium-high heat. Fry for a minute then flip and fry again until
    you reach a deep golden color.
12. Take out and set on the lined up kitchen paper towel.

Notes

You may make these meatless and use mushrooms or just
chives to create an amazing appetizer.

I tried these with egg and without it. I like it both ways. Adding one egg makes it somewhat more creamy on the inside. It is really not neccecery but you may use it if you would like to test it yourself.

These hold well in the lunch boxes for school or work.

Our Family Everything bagel seasoning contain sodium so please be aware of that before adding too much salt into your croquettes.

This Tasty Toast Pizza Roll is one of those recipes that checks every box: fun, easy, kid-friendly, and crowd-approved. It’s the kind of finger food that disappears fast, especially when there’s a game on and a bunch of hungry snackers nearby!

The idea came from one of those brainstorming sessions in my kitchen (aka fridge and pantry deep dive). I’d seen versions floating around online and in magazines, but I wanted to create my own take using what I had—and what my family actually loves.

We don’t always cook with pepperoni, so sometimes I use a mix of Italian salami and ham, but this recipe is super flexible. Feel free to swap in turkey pepperoni, smoked chicken, or go fully vegetarian with extra cheese and veggies.

Extra Tips & Variations for Toast Pizza Roll

Make-Ahead Magic

• Prep & Chill: Assemble the roll, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Great for parties or meal prep!
• Freeze Before Baking: Wrap in foil and freeze for up to 2 weeks. Thaw overnight in the fridge before baking as directed.

No-Mess Trick

• Use a silicone mat or parchment paper instead of plastic wrap when rolling for easier cleanup and a better grip.
• For clean slices after baking, let the roll cool for 5–7 minutes before cutting.

Cheese It Your Way

• Try different combos like:

  • Cheddar + mozzarella

  • Provolone + goat cheese

  • Feta + spinach for a Greek twist

Bread Upgrade

• Use thin sandwich bread (crusts removed) for a cleaner roll.
• Try gluten-free bread for dietary needs (just flatten it gently—it’s often more fragile).

Add a Kick

• Mix chili flakes or hot sauce into the marinara for a spicy version.
• Add pickled jalapeños or pepperoncini inside the roll for heat and zing.

Sneaky Veggies

• Thinly sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, baby spinach, or olives layer beautifully into this roll—great for picky eaters!

Use as a Meal or Appetizer

• Serve with a side salad or soup for a quick lunch or dinner.
• Slice thin for appetizers, or thicker for satisfying handheld snacks.

Dip It!

• Offer dipping sauces like:

  • Warm marinara

  • Ranch dressing

  • Garlic aioli

  • Pesto

So here it is—my take on a pizza roll, made with toast. It’s crunchy, melty, cheesy perfection
