Chicken and Shells Dinner

So I haven't posted one of my dinners in awhile well Monday night I made "Chicken and Shells Dinner" it was pretty good.

Ingredients
1 package (12 ounces) shells and cheese dinner mix
1/4 cup chopped onion
4 tablespoons butter, divided
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 package (10 ounces) frozen peas, thawed
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Directions
Prepare dinner mix according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a
small skillet, saute onion in 2 tablespoons butter until tender.
Stir the chicken, peas, mayonnaise and sauteed onion into dinner
mix.
Transfer to a greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Melt remaining butter;
toss with bread crumbs. Sprinkle over top. Bake, uncovered, at
350° for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly. Yield: 4-6 servings.

Dinner's in the oven :)

Well I haven't tried it yet so I can't tell you how good it is, but tonight's dinner is Cheesy Beef and Potato Bake.

Here's what you need...
1lb ground beef
2 packages (5-1/4oz each) au gratin potatoes
4 cups boiling water
1-1/3 cups water
2 teaspoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Cook the ground beef in a medium skillet, drain then layer the bottom of a greased 13x9 pan with the ground beef.

In a separate bowl combine potatoes, seasoning mix, water, milk, butter, salt, seasoned salt and pepper. Pour over the meat. Cover and bake at 400 for 30 minutes.

Sprinkle with cheese, bake for 5 minutes uncovered or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serves 8

Correction

If you plan on using the Bubble Pizza recipe instead of using 1lb of ground beef it should be at least a pound and a half, I think 2 pounds would work too. And my personal suggestion would be to use 2 cans of pizza sauce.

Dinner's Done

Tonight's Dinner....Bubble Pizza

1lb ground beef

1 15oz bottle of pizza sauce

2- 12oz tubes of buttermilk bisquits

1-1/2 Cups Mozzarella cheese

1 Cup Cheddar Cheese

Brown the ground beef, drain the fat then stir in the pizza sauce. Cut the unbaked bisquits into quarters and layer the bottom of a greased 13x9 pan with the quartered bisquits. Spread the ground beef and pizza sauce on top. Cook for 20 minutes at 400, sprinkle the cheese on top and pop back in the oven for 5 minutes.

I put mine too low in the oven so the bottom was slightly burnt, but I still got the "this is pretty good" comment. Plus it serves 6-8 so we have lunch for the rest of the week!

New Recipe

Last week I was looking for new recipies online and found one for tatertot casserole which looked pretty good and easy so I thought I would give it a try. I liked it and Luis seems to have fallen in love with it! Plus it's so easy I don't need the instructions to make it again!

Here's what you need...

1lb ground beef

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 can of corn

Tater tots

Cheese (sliced or shredded will work)

Brown the ground beef, drain the fat then stir in the soup. Layer the bottom of a casserole dish with the meat, layer the corn on top, then the tater tots (still frozen) Put in the over for a half hour at 350. I usually move it to the top rack for the last 5 minutes so the tater tots will brown. Then add your cheese on top put back in the over for a couple minutes until it melts!

I just got 2 more casserole type recipes from a co-working, one of which I'll try tonight and let you know how it goes!
