Creamy Beef Enchilades Recipe

 I am not sure where I got this recipe. I found it in my to be tried file. Here are the ingredients you will need: 3 pounds chuck roast ( cooked and shredded), 1 onion chopped, 1 small can of diced green chilis, 2 cans of beef broth, 1 can of water, 1 fajita packet, and 1 aujus packet. You will need to put all of these items except for the green chilis into the crock pot and cook on low until done. When the meat is cooked shred it and add the chilis and onions. You will have to dig them out of the juice.
 For the sauce you will need tomato sauce, enchilada mix, and 1 cup of heavy whipping cream. I doubled everything except the cream. Prepare the sauce according to the directions. Once it is done then add the cream.
To assemble the enchiladas you will lay out the tortilla, put the meat in the middle of sprinkle some cheese and add about 1 tablespoon of sauce. Roll them up. Place them into a sprayed pan that has about 1/2 cup of sauce on the bottom. When the pan is full cover with sauce and cheese. Bake in a 350 degree oven and bake for 20 minutes.
This dish can be frozen. Reheating instructions are as follows. Frozen 350 degrees for 45 minutes and thawed 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
This made a lot of enchiladas. For use it made 2 9x13 pans and 1 8x8 pan. There was still some meat mixture left over that I also froze. We liked this recipe and was another way to make enchiladas. I hope you give it a try.

Chicken and Cheese Noodle Bake

 This recipe I received from my mom. She got it from a magazine called Taste of Home. The ingredients you will need are the following. 1 pkg.(16 oz.) spaghetti, broken
2 medium onions, chopped          1 medium green pepper, chopped ( I used a yellow pepper)
1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped          1/2 cup butter, cubed
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour                   2 cups milk
4 cups cubed cooked chicken                     1 cup (8 oz. ) sour cream  (I forgot this)
1 can condensed cream of chicken and mushroom soup, undiluted ( I used both as chicken)
1 can condensed cream of mushroom coup, undiluted  (I used chicken)
1/2 teaspoon celery salt                                 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese                 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Because my chicken wasn't pre cooked I had to cook it. I cubed it first and then cooked it. As you can see I was chopping my pepper.
Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, sauté the onions and peppers in butter in a Dutch oven until tender. Stir in flour until blended; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in chicken, soups, sour cream, celery salt and pepper.
Drain spaghetti; add to sauce mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to two greased 11x7 baking dishes. Sprinkle with cheeses. Cover and freeze one casserole for up to 3 months. Cover and bake the remaining casserole at 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for 5-10 minutes longer or until bubbly.
To use frozen casserole: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Cover and bake at 350 degree for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake 5-10 minutes longer or until bubbly.


This is what it looks like when it is done. I forgot to cover it the first time. It still came out tasting good even though I forgot the sour cream. I even bought the sour cream to use but it just slipped my mind. I hope you give this a try. As you can see you can change it up and even forget something and it still taste great.
Until next time enjoy your day.

O'Brion's Irish Dish Recipe

 I got this recipe years ago. I bought a little booklet that said they paid $ 30.00 a week for groceries. In that booklet was this recipe. I don't remember the name of the booklet. For this recipe you will need 1 package of Italian sausage, cut-up
4-6 large potatoes peeled and cut up
1 large onion chopped and 1 large green pepper chopped.
Throw all the ingredients into a 9x13 baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until done. You can stretch by adding more of any of the ingredients.
 This is a fast a simple dish. I have frozen potatoes before in this dish and that works great. I do add Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning because this is a bland dish.
I served it with peas. Everyone loves this dish. I hope you give it a try. Until next time enjoy your day.

Slow Cooker Stuff Peppers Recipe

 This recipe I got a YouTube channel called Homestead Tessie. She got it from a cookbook called The big book of fix it and forget page 270.
Above you will see what is needed to fix this recipe.
1 pound of ground beef browned. 3/4 cup chopped onions cooked with the ground beef.
2 cups cooked rice. 4-6 green peppers. 8 oz. of tomato sauce. 1/4 cup beef broth and 1 tablespoon of Worchester sauce. As you can see I didn't use green peppers, these peppers were on sale. I also used a precooked rice that also was on sale.
Brown your beef and onions. In a separate bowl added your cooked rice and mix with the beef mixture. Core out your peppers and then rinse them off. Fill the peppers with the beef/rice mixture.. Place them into the slow cooker. Mix the tomato sauce, beef broth, and Worchester sauce together. Pour over the peppers. Cook on low 5-7 hours.
I almost forgot to take a picture when they were done. We had a salad with this. This was okay but needs more flavor. I would also recommend that you only cook them for 5 hours. The peppers were too soft and we didn't eat them. We like a little crunch. Otherwise we liked it. I will be playing around with this recipe. Let me know what you think and if you changed it up comment below.
Until next time enjoy your day.

Green Chili Chicken Casserole Recipe

 This recipe came from the grocery store called HEB based in Texas. I am so glad that I am still able to fix this recipe. The reason for me saying this is that I thought that I could only get the Green chili stew mix from this store. I am now able to buy the mix at KingsSoopers. Above is what you will need to make this recipe. You need 1 jar Texas Two-Step Green Chili Stew Mix, 26-oz Bag cooked Fajita Thighs- chopped ( I use what ever I have on hand whether it be chicken or turkey), 1 10-oz. bag Tortilla chips, and 2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese.
 Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl, mix together chicken, chips, and green chili stew mix. Spread evenly in a 9x13 pan and top with shredded cheese. cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes till cheese is melted and edges are bubbling. Serve with sour cream, avocado and/or pico de gallo.
I served this with Spanish rice and corn. We also scoop this up with extra chips. The boys love this dish so I am so glad I can still make it for them. Please give this a try and let me know what you think. Until next time enjoy your day.

Pork Chops with Suit-Yourself Sauce Recipe

 I got this recipe from the book called Fix-It and Forget-It. Here are the ingredients you will need for this recipe.
 I made the sauce up first. You will need 1 cup of BBQ sauce. This is optional but it does taste great. Use your favorite brand and flavor.
 I put the sauce into a measuring cup to mixing easier. You will need 1/2 cup of water.
 To the BBQ sauce you will need 1 can of cream of soup. Any flavor and brand will work. I used Cream of Chicken because that is what I had.
 Mix it up.
 Now you will need to salt your pork chops or you can skip this part. I used 4 boneless chops.
 Now pepper to taste.
 You will need to brown your chops in 2 Tablespoons of olive oil.
 I browned two at a time.
 Put the brown chops into your crock pot.
 Pour on some of the sauce mixture.
 I put the last two on top.
 I put the rest of the sauce over them. Now cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until chops are tender but not dry.
I served this with potatoes and corn. This was a good change for us and we loved it. Hope you give this a try. Let me know how it went.
Until next time enjoy your day.

Pizza Pull-Apart Sliders Recipe

 I got this recipe from thecountrycook.net. Here is everything to put the sliders together.
 You need to brown your sausage. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
 While the sausage is browning start getting the rest of your items together. You will need 1 package of dinner rolls. I used the Hawaiian style rolls.
 you will need to slice the rolls in roll while they are still connect together.
 place the bottom half of the rolls into a greased 9x13 pan.
 you will need to spread your pizza sauce over the bottom of your bread. I used the Kroger brand. The recipe says to use 3/4 cup of sauce. That is a lot of sauce and I didn't use that much. You use how ever much you like.
 You will need sliced mozzarella cheese. The recipes says you will need 12 slices.
 I used 5 slices on the bottom.
 Next you will layer the pepperoni on top.
 Now your cooked sausage. The recipe calls for 1/2 cip. I did double this recipe so I used all of the one pound of sausage.
 Now you place more cheese. I ran out of mozzarella so just used American.
 Put on the top half.
 Now for the buttery topping. I didn't not double this. I just used what she used. We aren't into the coating as much.
 You will need to melt 1 stick of butter, I used 1/2 stick. Then add 1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese.
 I lied I did cut the seasoning down. She wants you to use 1 teaspoon of garlic salt and 1 teaspoon of onion powder. I used only 1/4 teaspoon of each.
 The recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of oregano and again I only used a 1/4 teaspoon.
 I did use the 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper though. We do like it to have a little kick.
 Here is everything in a bowl.
 Mix it together and spread on top of the sliders.
 It should look like this.
 Now cover with tin foil and bake for 15 minutes in the oven.
 This is what it looks like. We used a spatula to get them out of the pan. They were hot.
The kids loved them. This is all we ate for dinner. It was a different way to have to pizza.
Hope you give this recipe a try. Until next time enjoy your day.
