Enchilada's

This first Recipe came from my mom.

Enchilada's with Red Sauce

1 big can of Enchilada Sauce (I'm guessing it would be a 30 oz can)

1 can of cream of chicken soup

1 can of black beans

1-2 chicken breasts (or a can of chicken)

Tortilla's

Cheese

Mix the enchilada sauce and the can of cream of chicken soup together and set aside. In a separate bowl mix black beans, cheese, chicken, a little of the sauce mixture and whatever else you would like to put in (we've put in onions, rice, corn and my mom has even used green beans). Pour a little sauce into the bottom of your baking pan- just enough to cover the bottom. Then place the tortillas in the pan. If you use flour tortilla's bend in half and place in the pan with the top open, place the bean and chicken mixture inside and roll them. If you use corn tortilla's layer the bottom with 4 or 5 tortilla shells, spread the bean and chicken mixture on top and then top off with 4 or 5 more tortilla shells. Cover with the rest of the enchilada sauce and put cheese on top. Then cook in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling.

This recipe is one I made up.

Cheesy Enchilada's

1 can of cream of chicken soup

1 8 oz package of cream cheese

1 cup of sour cream

1 small can of diced green chili's

1 tablespoon of salsa

1 can of black beans

1-2 chicken breasts (or 1 can of chicken)

Cheese

Tortilla's

Mix together the can of chicken soup, cream cheese, sour cream, diced chili's, salsa and cheese- however much you prefer. Set aside. In a separate bowl mix black beans, cheese, chicken, a little of the sauce mixture and whatever else you would like to put in (we've put in onions, rice, corn and my mom has even used green beans). Pour a little sauce into the bottom of your baking pan- just enough to cover the bottom. Then place the tortillas in the pan. If you use flour tortilla's bend in half and place in the pan with the top open, place the bean and chicken mixture inside and roll them. If you use corn tortilla's layer the bottom with 4 or 5 tortilla shells, spread the bean and chicken mixture on top and then top off with 4 or 5 more tortilla shells. Cover with the rest of the enchilada sauce and put cheese on top. Then cook in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling.

*I made it with corn tortilla's, which my husband liked, but I think I would prefer flour.

It's all About the Cream of Chicken

Tonight I once again pulled out my friend cream of chicken soup and I mixed in about a 1/2 a cup of vinegar and a 1/2 a cup of water. Then I put in about a 1/4 cup of sour cream and about 3/4 cup (maybe a little less) of milk. I chopped up some green onions, threw those in as well and mixed it all together. I threw in about 1/2 a teaspoon of sugar in the end just for fun.

Mind you this is another "to taste" recipe so you may want to add ingredients a little at a time and taste as you go.

I then got about 3 chicken breasts and placed them in a casserole dish. I poured some stuffing mix on top along with a few pats of butter. I poured about a 1/4 cup of water over the chicken and the stuffing and then I poured the sauce, see above, on top.

There was a lot of sauce so you really could include more chicken if you like. I'm going to throw it in the oven tonight and cook it at 350 for about 20-30 min.

OK in actuality I haven't tasted this so I don't know how good it will be, but I did taste here and there as I was making it and it did agree with me so I'm sure it will be a delicious dish. My plan is to serve it over rice, but if I had potatoes I think I would serve it over those instead.

Chicken, Peas and Soup

Like a majority of my recipes this was just something that I threw together. I really don't use measurements a lot. I mostly just add stuff to taste. Last night this is what we had for dinner.

I took a can of peas, a can of cream of chicken soup and a can of chicken. I mixed them all together. then I added about 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of mayo and about 4 oz of cream cheese. I cooked some rice, mixed it all together and threw it in the microwave for 5 min.

I found it delicious!
