taco bake with ground beef

We make a version of the taco bake - but with ground beef - for really big football games (lol). Chris loves it! Heat a few layers of the chips, meat, salsa and cheese, THEN add top with lettuce, chopped tomato, sour cream, etc for dipping... If you don't eat it right away tho it gets soggy :(

salsa perogies

Perogies. Just add oil to the pan and cook them up. Top with salsa and serve with a canned veggie.

Chicken and Saffron Rice

Cook two packets of saffron rice, once done, add 2/4 package of frozen peas and chicken pulled from a roteseri chicken from the grocery store. Love it and it is at least two meals.

cream of turkey & wild rice soup

mine was cream of turkey & wild rice soup. you could easily use chicken though. pull all the leftover turkey off the bone and chop chop your veggies (i use carrots, celery, onion and corn) bring 3 cups of broth to a boil (or half broth half water) add veggies and uncooked wild rice to broth and bring to boil simmer for 5 minutes; add turkey and seasoning (pepper and poultry seasoning or whatever you like) bring to boil and add heavy whipping cream (you could use reg or lowfat milk too i just prefer whipping cream) simmer until rice/veggies are cooked through if you need to thicken, use some flour dissolved in a bit of water

BEEF TIPS (Crock Pot Dinner)

2 lbs. lean beef or stew beef 1 env. Lipton onion soup mix 1 can Campbells mushroom soup 1/2 can water (3/4 if more gravy is desired) Place all ingredients in crock pot and cook on low 8-10 hours. Serve over rice or egg noodles I made this today, we had it for dinner and it was sooooo good! The meat was so tender!

rotissorie chicken

I make two easy meals with one rotissorie chicken. The first night I serve it with buttered, garlic egg noodles, and a veggie. The second night I shred what is left over and toss it in a fry pan with some salsa, taco seasoning and water. Instant chicken tacos or it can be used for quesadillas (sp?) too.

Beef Tips

Cut sirloin steak in to bite sized cubes, brown and season to taste. Mix brown 2 gravy packets according to the package directions (or you could make your own) and pour over steak. Bring to a boil and reduce heat.
I usually make instant garlic mashed potatoes with this and a veggie. Its a BIG hit at our house.

Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings

Put 4 chicken breasts in the crock pot. Season with salt & pepper (to taste, I use 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper) and 1 tsp poultry seasoning. Chop 2 ribs of celery and 3-4 carrots into 1/2 inch pieces and add to the crockpot. Pour in 1 can of chicken broth and add 2 chicken boullion cubes (place near the bottom). Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours. 30 minutes before you want to eat. open a can of tube biscuit dough (I use lowfat buttermilk ones from Pillsbury) and tear the biscuits up into bitesize pieces and place on top of the other stuff in the crockpot. Cover. Turn crockpot to high and let cook for 30 minutes. Presto! Makes great leftovers, too!

chicken bacon ranch pizza

1. I buy the case of frozen pizza crust from Sam's Club(you get 12 BIG crusts) for 14$ they are really good too. Then do whatever toppings we want. Our favorite is Chicken, Bacon, Ranch. You take Ranch potato chip dip(the kind you find in the chip aisle not the refrigerated section) and spread it all over the crust, then the pre-cooked grilled chicken breast strips and bacon bits on top of that, top with cheddar and mozzarella cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes depending on how you like your crust -easy and soooo good.

Crock Pot Chicken Stroganoff

-this one you have to think ahead slightly but so easy-2 to 4 frozen chicken breasts in crockpot then mix 1 tub sour cream, 1 packet dry onion soup mix and 1 can cream of mushroom soup. Pour mixture over top and set on low all day. When you're ready to eat just make a package of egg noodles and serve chicken over top.

easy meal- steak

My easiest meal is to buy a nice steak, sprinkle Montreal Steak Seasoning on it and broil in the over 8 minutes per side. Comes out perfect every time. We just nuke broccoli and add butter and dinner is served.

cornbread chicken bake

Now if you want to make something the easiest is cornbread chicken bake. Preheat the oven to 350 left over turkey or chicken. (I use left over marinaded chicken) 1 can of cream of mushroom 1 can of cream of chicken 1 can of milk 1 package of stuffing. Break turkey or chicken into bite size pieces, mix soups,milk,and chicken together. Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish and put mixture in dish. Cover with Stove Top stuffing made according to directions on box. Bake at 350 degrees in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes. OR instead of putting the stuffing on top you can mix it all togher. You can also add veggies. Short on time you can buy the chicken already done for you. I believe perdue has them already seasioned. Enjoy!
