Easy Chicken Enchilada's

2 cups cooked chicken, chopped or 2 cans chicken
2 cups grated cheese
16 oz sour cream
2 cups salsa
1 can cream of chicken soup
chopped onions
14 oz bag nacho cheese Doritos

In a bowl mix the chicken, sour cream, soup, salsa, 3/4 bag of doritos, 1 3/4 cups of cheese, and onions.

Put into casserole dish or oven-safe bowl. Sprinkle rest of cheese on top.

bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.

This turned out really well. I enjoyed it even though I am not a huge salsa/spicy fan. The soup and sour cream. The only think I would do different is layer it next time. Layer of chips, layer of mixture, layer of cheese repeat.

Ok Girls

It's really, REALLY sad when the only person posting on the recipe blog is the girl that everyone teases can't cook.

Peanut Butter + Chocolate = Heaven!!

I LOVE Peanut Butter. Like I could really eat it every day and totally be fine. So my darling husband did the grocery shopping for me yesterday. All that was on my list was a brownie mix. Well he found a Betty Crocker brownie mix with peanut butter chips!!! So yum! I couldn't wait another minute to try them so tonight after dinner I mixed them up. Well on the back of the box it had the best idea!
For frosted peanut butter brownies
Mix
1 cup chocolate frosting (I used the Betty Crocker original chocolate, I'm not a whipped frosting fan)
1/3 cup peanut butter
few teaspoons of milk
spread on cooled brownies.
Well who can really wait for brownies to cool. Not me! This is my new favorite thing and I just may mix up the frosting with the peanut butter to eat by itself. It was so good. It made the brownies perfect. My kids totally inhaled them and I will give you darling hubby's verdict when he gets home. I love quick and easy ideas to make something special. I just may try this on regular chocolate brownies too.

courtesy of Minute Rice Website

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp. oil
4

1
large green pepper, chopped
1 jar (14 oz.) spaghetti sauce ( about 1-1/2 cups)
1 cup water
2 cups MINUTE White Rice, uncooked
1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated


Directions:

HEAT oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken and peppers; cover. Cook 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until chicken is cooked through (170°F), stirring peppers occasionally. Remove chicken from skillet; cover to keep warm.
ADD spaghetti sauce and water to skillet; stir. Bring to boil.
STIR in rice; top with chicken. Sprinkle with cheeses; cover. Reduce heat to low; cook 5 minutes or until Mozzarella cheese is melted.
My family loves this dish.
Lara: It's easy and fast. It's one of my standby meals because I almost always have these ingredients in the cupboard. It tastes great!
Turbo and G will both eat it great. They really like it.
Jeff: The first time I made it he expected it to be spicy because of the color of the rice. (He wasn't there when I made it to see what went into it.) He really loved it. It's a fun spin on traditional spaghetti and chicken.

Swiss Chicken

4 chicken breasts
4 large slices Swiss cheese
1/2 c. milk
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 c. sour cream
3 c. dry stuffing mix

Spray baking dish with nonstick spray. Place chicken breasts in pan and cover each with a slice of cheese. Sprinkle stuffing mix over cheese. Combine cream of mushroom soup, milk, and sour cream. Pour over all. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes.

I haven't tried this yet but it sounds easy and yummy. I've put it on our menu to try out so I will let everyone know how it turns out.
Verdict: Mixed
Lara: It was okay. Not something I'm going to be craving again anytime soon. It was easy but seemed to be missing something. Maybe a different kind of cheese or a veggi or something. I also made it with store brand stuffing (DH did shopping) and I am a stove top girl so maybe that will make me like it more.
Turbo: Loved the stuffing but wasn't in love with the chicken
G: Who knows with her. She ate it which is always a good sign. She's to busy to actually sit down for a full meal but she did eat it pretty good. She eats great some nights and other nights not at all.
