V's Southwestern Chicken Flat Pie

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:07:58 -0500

This is a recipe that is easy to assemble and has all the southwestern flavor I love. Using the convenience of refrigerated pie crust, you can make this dish in no time. Another savory chicken dish created with Rotiserre chicken. This recipe would be great as an appetizer or light dinner. One wasn't enough for my hungry gang ;) -- posted by Vseward (Chef~V)

Pasta Provencale is a breeze to prepare, with only about 30 minutes from start to finish!

Tuna Noodle Casserole

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:54:20 -0500

When first married, I never made TNC because my husband told me he didn't like it and wouldn't eat it. After being married for several years, I came across this recipe and it was a little different from most. I told my husband I had such a taste for TNC, I was making it and he could try it or go out and get himself something else to eat. It was during winter and, needless to say, he gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised. I've made this ever since. I hope your family will enjoy it as much as we do. -- posted by shelleybean

Crock Pot Beef Roast

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:28:20 -0500

I am becoming a huge fan on the crock pot. This recipe is something I whipped together on a whim. It was my first time cooking a roast and I felt if I did it in a crock pot there was NO WAY I could mess it up! Turned out great and meat was so tender, it was more like a stew! Extremely easy to make right before work so you come home to a wonderful meal. -- posted by AshleyNeicole

Quick Taco Casserole

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:09:17 -0500

This is super easy, quick and kids love it! There are many variations, also. If you like, add sliced black olives or your choice of shredded cheese on top before baking. Serve with a dollop of guacamole on top, and shredded lettuce and fresh diced tomatoes on the side. -- posted by staciek in Texas

Southern Cajun Italian Twist Chicken Bake

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:41:26 -0500

Prepare this dish in less than five minutes for the oven. Fast, but tastes like you simmered and fussed all day. It is similar to an Italian Chicken Bake recipe, but with a wonderful Southern Cajun Twist...thus, the name. Spice it up as hot as you like or simmer it down for those with sensitive tastebuds. Slide it in the oven and you will have a delicious, healthy meal to bookmark in your recipe box for future meals. -- posted by Southern Living Recipes by Mama

Gourmet Mac & Cheese W/ Lots of Variations

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:17:50 -0500

Tweak the spices to your liking. I like it also without the paprika, but garnished with a sprig of fresh rosemary. Also try making it cheesier or adding or substituting cheeses. I've made an excellent one with brie. I've also used canned tuna instead of chicken for a quicker version. I have also experimented with different seasonings and rubs for the chicken or tuna, including celery salt, cayenne, rosemary, cumin, etc. Changing the pasta also greatly changes the flavor as well, in my opinion. Can be made with dried spices but I recommend fresh! To go above and beyond, you can also bake the finished casserole with a breadcrumb or other topping. -- posted by GoldsmithLissa

Turnip-Squash Vegetarian Budget Casserole

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:39:05 -0500

I'm currently on a budget casserole roll here. Feel free to sub the cream of potato soup for any other cream soup (my other favorites are mushroom and celery), they're pretty packed with flavor. It's just that not as many use cream of potato like I do! I like Stovetop traditional sage stuffing mix and the turkey one, any kind of boxed stuffing will do. You can used canned french-fried onions like French's or Durkee but I prefer homemade, Recipe #44115 those are sooooo good. -- posted by the80srule

Hoppin' John

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:56:43 -0500

A variation on a recipe from the good folks at Goya. I make it with both of the suggested meats -- sausage AND bacon (Goya's calls for kielbasa, but I think smoked sausage or andouille works better). The two together are spectacular. I also add a jalapeño for a little extra flavor. Oh, and if you're on a low-sodium diet, there is a no-salt version of the -- posted by Cluich

Creamy Chicken and Kabocha Squash Shells

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:57:12 -0500

Don't be deceived by the lack of added seasonings. It is full of flavor! Adding the squash makes the whole thing rich and smooth, with a color and consistency similar to Kraft Mac'N'Cheese! Delicious! Even my daughters loved it! (3 yrs & 7 mos) I just took the chicken out for my baby girl, mashed it up, and she couldn't have enough! This recipe makes a whole stock-pot full, and it's super easy to make, so it's a great one to make and freeze the leftovers. I was going to, but it we scarfed it all up in 2 days! -- posted by Chef #1459874

Chicken Mozzarella With Mushrooms in a Light Chicken Stock

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 14:55:11 -0500

I got this from an old recipe book belonging to my in-laws. The original recipe is for boned turkey breast. The stock ensures the turkey is nice and moist but I do like it better with chicken. Either way it will always go down a treat! -- posted by Chef #1169557

Southwestern Hash Brown Chicken

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:01:19 -0500

My mom and I came up with the recipe one night and it was a big hit. It is very simple, but tastes so good. You could probably use a different style of hashbrowns, the southwest style ones are spicy and young children may not like them. -- posted by Dixie Vader

Sarasota's Ham, Mushroom, Broccoli and Cheddar Bake

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 10:18:34 -0500

I admit, I'm not a big fan of "canned soup" recipes, but this one I really like. I made this during Hurricane Gabrielle (FL, about 10 years ago) We had lost power, and I was trying to use everything I could from my freezer. Well, some frozen broccoli, mushrooms, onions, and ham; and the milk had to be used, so this was made and actually was cooked on the grill. Now, a few updates with fresh vegetables, herbs, and rather then a pie crust, a Crescent roll topping. It is an easy casserole to put together. -- posted by SarasotaCook

OAMC Basic Chicken or Turkey Taco Filling

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 15:38:02 -0500

This is a basic filling using cooked chicken or turkey and a chili seasoning packet for tacos, chili, or enchilada filling. I came up with this recipe on the fly after a busy day of work, school, and basketball practice using what I had in the refrigerator and pantry. I didn't have any taco seasoning, but had a lonely packet of chili seasoning from Aldi and used that instead. My picky kids, who were never keen on tacos before, loved it. This can be made ahead for tacos, chili, or enchiladas. Note: My kids do not like hot and spicy, so this is very mild. Add jalapenos or chipotle chilies to turn up the heat. Also my kids are small eaters, so I cut the tortillas in half and make mini wraps for them which works better for little kids than unwieldy tacos. OAMC: double the quantity and follow instructions below to freeze. -- posted by UrbanDesiMommy

Breakfast Egg Casserole

I make this for my fiance all the time because it's his favorite thing that I make for him and he's always asking for it lol. It's pretty simple, and I hope you enjoy it! Sometimes I throw in carrots and celery, as well as other veggies if available. That's up to you tho :) If you don't want as strong of a flavor, use just one teaspoon of chicken bouillon in the rice. -- posted by Cypress

Dynasty Chow Funn Noodles

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 17:27:13 -0500

Got this recipe off the back of a package of Dynasty Chow Funn Noodles pack and tweaked it according to what I had in stock (the original recipe called for pork, but I used chicken breast instead). It came out well and was a quick change of pace for a weekday family dinner. I purchased the noodles from Hows supermarket - but it can probably be found at most generic American supermarket chains. -- posted by Fluffkins

Sarasota's Florida Boiled Seafood Pot

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 18:50:53 -0500

I know everyone has seen a low country boil with sausage, corn, potatoes, onions, etc. Well this is Florida's answer to a Seafood Low Country Boil ... and their version. I have been doing this for some twenty years. Now, I will give you my recipe to serve 12, but just cut it in half or a third and add what you want. This recipe isn't about exact amounts, but more about the method and order of cooking. These are what I like to add, but if you don't like or can't afford the lobster, add more snow crab, shrimp, clams or mussels. So don't worry, what ingredients you have, but follow the order that everything is cooked. My ingredients include: onions, potatoes, corn on the cob, kielbasa or smoked sausage, artichokes, lemons, lobster tails, clams, mussels, snow crab and shrimp. Don't think you need a lobster tail per person, but I do 1/2 corn cob and 3 small potatoes per per person and 1/2 sausage (more sausage if I know there is not a lot of seafood lovers) and then the seafood. So this is my process for 12. I cook mine for this amount in a turkey cooker with water, beer and Old Bay seasoning, The turkey cooker than has a strainer so it is easy to drain, but a small pot on the stove will work for a small group of 3-4. Remember ... Rule of thumb 2-3 small red potatoes, 1/2 - 1 sausage link, 1 artichoke heart, 1/2 cob of corn, 1/2 onion, and then seafood per person, so just add what you can. Personally, I could eat 2 lobster tails, my dad 1 lb or more shrimp, and my best friend, all the mussels, so just do a little of everything, and I think they will be all very happy. Now, it sounds like a lot, but the entire dinner cooked in one pot. Just melt some butter, cocktail sauce on the side and a some grilled or baked bread. Cover your table with newspaper and pour it all in the center and let everyone just help themselves. Simple paper plates. We eat everything with plastic, except for a crab cracker and small pick to get the crab meat out. Rolls of paper towels on the table and just relax and have fun. You can also add some sour cream for the potatoes, salt and pepper of course and maybe some dijon mustard for the sausage if you wanted, but there is so much flavor I never find that necessary, but add what you like. Don't try to make it fancy ... just enjoy. When done, pack up the leftovers and plates right in the center of the table, wrap up the newspaper and throw away. NO DISHES!! -- posted by SarasotaCook

Mild Italian Sausage and Jar Pesto make this quick recipe tops. This sauce has the flavor and texture that I really enjoy and can't find in any jar sauces. Plus it's quick and easy. An easy variation on this recipe is to add a cup or so of half and half or heavy cream at the end to make a wonderful vodka cream sauce. -- posted by Jusmi71

Pasta With Smothered Onion Sauce (Marcella Hazan)

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 09:36:33 -0500

This is an easy, delicious, and simple recipe from "Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking" by Marcella Hazan. You just mix all the ingredients on the stove and come back and hour later. The onions get meltingly soft and sweet. It'salso great with some crumbled blue cheese. If you use homemade pasta, which is more absorbent than spaghetti, you should start with 1 tbsp more butter when making the sauce. TO MAKE AHEAD : You can cook the sauce entirely in advance up to the point where you add the parsley. When you are nearly ready to toss with the pasta, reheat the sauce over medium heat and add the parsley just before draining the pasta. -- posted by blucoat

Chicken Chow Mein Casserole

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 16:07:39 -0500

This simple casserole version of chicken chow mein makes great use of leftover chicken or turkey and is easy on the budget and your time. I don't measure or weigh the amount of chicken I use but the original recipe calls for 3 pounds so I've left the recipe that way. I just use whatever I have left over, or I'll stew a few chicken breasts or pieces if I'm starting from scratch. If you've got 2-3 cups of chicken you'll be in good shape. For a little extra kick add some red pepper flakes. You can easily cut this recipe in half for a smaller family. -- posted by Croft Girl

Wintertime soups and stews . . . nothing better! This recipe will give you a rib-sticking flavorful soup that everyone can tweak as much as desired to satisfy his or her own tastebuds. For those not partial to the taste of lima beans, be aware that this soup barely carries a hint of lima bean flavor, as the lima beans serve merely as the staple for this wonderful dish. This recipe makes a soup as thick or thin as you'd like. -- posted by Squire David

Creamy Leftover Chicken Surprise

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 09:24:34 -0500

I invented this recipe a long time ago and make it when I have leftover chicken. It's quick and made with simple ingredients. Feel free to make substitutions and experiment with it. Fresh or frozen broccoli. Cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom. Any type of cooked chicken will do, but I prefer breast. If the leftover chicken has been marinated or seasoned, it will be a bonus. Any type of small pasta. Cheeses are flexible as well. I often use a combination of whatever I have on hand. Just be sure its sliced or shredded so that it melts quickly.It's a great all in one meal to keep on the stove on nights when family members are coming and going at different times. -- posted by veggienut

Curried Ground Beef and Beans

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 08:48:52 -0500

My mom made this all the time. My dad and I loved it. It is so simple to make it was one of the first things I made on my own. The basic recipe has only four ingredients.You can customize to your own taste. I would try it first the way it is and modify as you see fit. I sometimes add onion and garlic when browning meat. I also have some nice hot curry that I mix with my regular curry to spice it up a bit. -- posted by Deglazing Dad

Ok, so the name isn't exactly the best but I wasn't really sure what to call it. It definitely has a mexican flair to it though. My husband and I needed to use up some beef and didn't have a whole lot in the house and this is what we came up with it. Turned out surprisingly awesome! -- posted by CanadianGirl80

Easy and tasty and very budget friendly. I am not a fan of pre-packaged foods and Rice-A-Roni has made few appearances in my shopping cart but when Chickie made this I had to have the recipe it was so good. Can be prepped ahead and then baked at the last minute. -- posted by JPsBarbie

Potato Potato Pot Roast

No, I didn't stutter! Two ways of using potatoes in this recipe. Simple and tasty. Excellent recipe for not-so-expert cooks. When the meat is done, so is the gravy. The long slow cooking makes the meat very tender. This recipe has been hanging around my house for many years. -- posted by Jezski

Spaghetti Alla Puttanesca, Italian Style

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:00:41 -0500

I first was introduced to this recipe when I was reading the book, "Belong to Me", when the main character "would have sold her soul" for a plate of this. I had to do further research and hours later, found a recipe that I was happy with sharing. There are American versions of this and Italian versions of this. The Italian version has you begin by reducing the anchovies into a paste, reducing their fishy taste. It also has you cook the sauce longer, mingling the flavours and reducing the tomatoes into their own paste. Although excellent the 1st day, it is even better the second so plan ahead to make more! And please, RESIST the urge to cover this with cheese! Italians customarily do not use cheese in this dish; the cheese overwhelms the sauce and makes the anchovies more pronounced, unbalancing all the delicate flavours you just worked so hard to create. -- posted by The_Swedish_Chef

Needed to clear some cans out of my storage space. The result? A ridiculously simple casserole packed with flavor. Feel free to use your own spice mix or taco seasoning, I use Recipe #389616. Something like Green Giant Mexi-Corn would probably work nice in this but I worked with I had at hand. -- posted by the80srule

Usually I work too much to get any use out of my slow cooker, but on snow days I can put it to good use and make this delicious comfort food. I originally had the inspiration for this recipe at Garryowen Irish Pub in Gettysburg, PA. I've done my best to re-create the textures and flavors of their dish on my own. -- posted by Sanana71
