Ever since I first began making the Cheeseburger Soup, I have made these Dilly Rolls to serve alongside. I think when we began serving these together, we thought that since dill pickles go so well with cheeseburgers, Dilly Rolls would go well with Cheeseburger Soup. And they do! Actually, probably almost any rolls, or biscuits, or corn muffins, would go well alongside, but we do love our dilly rolls. The dill flavor is not too strong, really just about right. But if you don't enjoy the flavor of dill, you'd probably do better to use a different roll or biscuit for accompaniment.
My dictionary says:
dilly 1 |ˈdilē|
noun (pl. dillies) [ usu. in sing. ] informal
an excellent example of a particular type of person or thing: that's a dilly of a breakfast recipe.
ORIGIN late 19th cent. (as an adjective in the sense ‘delightful’): alteration of the first syllable of delightful or delicious.
And that is why I say this is a dilly of a recipe. The soup is, too. Hope you enjoy these rolls (and the soup!) if you try them.
Judy from Cranberry Morning left a comment on this post and I inadvertently deleted it while trying to publish it on my tablet. Grrr! That doesn't happen often (I think it has happened only twice or possibly three times) but it is most annoying.

They are really good, Judy. Made with cottage cheese, which is somewhat surprising (though I think the dilly bread may be also). Hope you are able to try these and that you enjoy them.
DeleteI am sure I would like dilly rolls, dill is a favorite herb of mine.
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope you will try them, Terra! They are a favorite in our family, for sure.
DeleteThe soup is good...made it yesterday and have now had three meals of cheeseburger soup. Probably time to freeze some and move on to more variety, but it is delicious. Perhaps I'll even make some dilly rolls.
ReplyDeleteVee, I am so glad you enjoyed the cheeseburger soup! It's great winter comfort food.
DeleteSounds like the perfect combo. Thank you for your recipe links. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, Debby! I hope you enjoy the soup and rolls if you try the recipes.
DeleteI loved the bit of history you gave on the word dilly, I have even more fun saying the word dilly now. That meal looks absolutely delicious and it's making me hungry just looking at the pictures. I hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed reading about the bit of history. I took the definition of "dilly" off the dictionary on my computer, and it included that info as to its origin. I thought that was so interesting, too.
DeleteHope your family enjoys the recipes if you try them!
