Chicken Spaghetti Casserole

This is really delicious and not very hard to make. It's a nice comforting fall meal. It's great served with sourdough bread and green salad.

Ingredients:

8 oz. angel hair pasta

8 oz. velveeta cheese

8 oz. stewed tomatoes, diced and include juice(or Rotel if you prefer it spicy)

1 small can mild diced peppers

1 can cream of chicken soup

3-4 chicken breasts

pinch of garlic powder

salt and pepper to taste

Boil thawed chicken breasts until no longer pink in center. Remove from broth and shred and set aside. Add pasta to broth and boil until tender. Drain. Mix all ingredients but pasta until blended. Add pasta to mixture. Place in an 8x8 baking dish and cook in 350 degree oven until cheese is melted. Remove from oven and stir and serve hot. Enjoy!

Come On Ladies!

Hey Ladies, we need to get this blog going again. I know you all eat-so post it:)

I love tacos, but get frustrated when I'm trying to eat a crunchy tortilla taco and it breaks into pieces after one bite. This casserole is basically a crunchy beef and bean taco all spread out in a casserole dish! It's such a quick and easy meal!

Beef and Bean Taco Casserole

 

Ingredients:

1 lb lean ground beef
1 can (16 ounce) refried beans
1 jar (16 ounce) salsa
1 package (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
2 1/2 cups coarsely broken tortilla chips
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
4 medium green onions, sliced (about 1/4 cup) left out for Chad of course:)
2 medium tomatoes, chopped1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup sliced ripe olives
1 cup shredded lettuce

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in refried beans, salsa, and taco seasoning mix. Reduce heat to medium. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.

In ungreased 2-quart casserole, place 2 cups of the broken tortilla chips. Top evenly with beef mixture. Sprinkle with bell pepper, onions, 1 cup of the tomato, the cheese, and olives.

Bake uncovered 20 to 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly and cheese is melted. Top baked casserole with lettuce, remaining 1/2 cup tomato, and remaining 1/2 cup tortilla chips.
