Impossible Cheeseburger Pie - January 26th (:

So tonight although I wasn't quite feeling up to it I put together a quickie meal for dinner and it actually turned out really well. It's called The Impossible Cheeseburger Pie;

 Ingredients:

2lb. ground beef
1/2 onion (how ever much you want)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Colby Jack

1 cup bisquick

2 cups milk
4 eggs

Cok the meat, then spread it in a 13 by 9. Once you've done that put a layer of Colby Jack (or Cheddar Cheese) on top of the meat. Now its time to mix the other ingredients; onion, milk, bisquick,eggs, salt. this should make a creamy gravy looking liquid (expect for the onions in it). Pour that over the cheese and the meat.  Stick it in the Oven for 35 min. at 400 F.  It Should Look like the picture above.  It's an easy recipe for a busy day. It was yummy. (:

A warm Breakfast on a cold Day - January 20th

 So this morning I woke up and looked around for something appetizing for breakfast. Well there was the normal options such as: cereal, toast, bagels etc. That's when I saw the box of Bisquick sitting on the back of the counter from last nights dinner. immediately the first thing that popped in my head was; hey I could have warm straight-out-of-the-oven biscuits. So you'll never guess what I had for breakfast!  That's right I had freshly baked Biscuits. Be jealous. (: (:

Pasta with a Creamy Smoked Bacon and Pea Sauce - January 16th

Today I cooked  a scrumdelicious meal, or so says my family, for tonight's dinner. It was the main course and we ate it with a side of oven-warmed french bread. Mmhmm yeah be jealous :) So here's the recipe to the wonderful dish that we had, I hope you enjoy.

 10 slices of smoked bacon
a small bunch of fresh mint
 sea salt and fresh ground pepper
 1 pound dried pasta
 olive oil
 a pat of butter
 2 cups frozen peas
 2 tablespoons of heavy cream ( I used it until it was creamy enough)
 1 lemon or juice
6 ounces Parmesan cheese

Prepare your pasta according to the package. Cook the bacon and while its cooking pick and mince the mint leafs. As soon as the bacon is golden and crisp, add your frozen peas, stir them well .














After the peas cook (melt the water off), add the heavy cream and chopped mint into the bacon and peas.  Now its time to add the pasta into the frying pan. Time to add the rest of the ingredients halve the lemon  and squeeze the juice out, I just used 8 oz. of lemon juice as a subtitute. Add the grated Parmesan to the pan and mix it well.

I put in a big bowl and set it on the table. This serves 4-6 (I doubled this for 7-8 people).
Hope you enjoy it, we all did. (:

King Ranch Chicken Mac & Cheese - January 12

So this week for dinner I am making a new recipe I found online. It's amazing!  It's called King Ranch Chicken Mac&Cheese. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

                         My family thought it was Amazingly Awesome.

Ingredients:
1/2 ( 16 oz. pkg) pasta cooked ( I used Shells)
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 (10 oz.) can diced tomatoes and green chile's (a can of Rotel works)
1 (8oz.) Velveeta, cubed
3 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 (10 3/4 oz.) can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1-1/2 cups (6oz.) shredded Cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare pasta according to the package.

Meanwhile, melt some butter in a large Dutch oven medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper, and saute 5 minutes or unit their tender. Stir in the tomatoes, green chile's and the Velveeta; cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes or until the cheese melts.  Stir in chicken and the next 4 ingredients ( the soup,sour cream, chili powder and cumin.) and than the hot cooked Pasta  until stirred well.  Now spoon the mixture into a lightly  greased 10-inch cast-iron skillet or 11x7 inch baking dish (I used a 13x9). Now its time to sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese on top.

Bake at 350 F for around 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbly.
This awesome meal serves 6 people.
 Best part of this meal is that there's left overs. (:

mmm, yum - January 9th

 I love it when my mom makes chicken sandwich's for dinner and they taste way better than McDonald's McChicken. :) Of course I expected this.

Mexican Cornbread - January 6th

I made this Mexican Cornbread for my meal this week. It took a little under an hour to  prep. and cook. So here's how I made it :

I started out cooking 2.25 lbs. of ground beef, once it was cooked, you drain the fat off and add the Mexican seasoning (taco seasoning) with how ever much water the package says. There is your first layer of the casserole. Next I used finely shredded cheddar cheese, put a layer of it on top of the meat. Then you can use just about any corn bread recipe (Jiff cornbread boxes works too). Once you've made that, all you have to do is spread it across the cheese and meat and bake it, to the allotted time it says for the cornbread. This all fits nicely into a 13x9 pan. This meal is great with lettuce, tomatoes and some sour cream. My family loved it!!
