Bowtie Chicken

Another one I got off of CM. Haven't made this one yet either, but will be this week! :)


2-3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (I like to use a rotisserie)
2 cans cream of celery soup
1 16 oz container of sour cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
a dash or two of tabasco/texas pete
1 lb of bowtie pasta, cooked and drained

You could add any veggies you like ie broccoli.

Bake for 30-45 mins at 375, add more cheese to top for last 10 minutes if desired.

Baked Potato Casserole

I got this off of CM ... Haven't tried it yet, but definitely will now! :)

Shredded hasbrowns (1 bag in dairy section)
Cheese (any kind, I use cheddar)
Sour cream (small container)
Bacon (cut up into like bits)
1 can cream mushroom soup
little bit of butter
salt & pepper to taste

Mix all together and bake on 350 for at least 30 mins, I like my casseroles a bit crunchy so I go like 45 mns.

Tater Tot Casserole

There are TONS of versions of tater tot casserole out there in cyber world. This one came from allrecipes.com.

2 lbs ground beef
1 small onion, chopped (you know I'm an onion lover. lol)
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup (I added 1/2 a can of half and half to thin out the mixture)
1 (14.5 ounce) can french style green beans (I will use 2 cans next time)
1 (32 ounce) bag tater tots, thawed
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Saute onion in a large skillet until soft (I sauteed them in butter, of course. lol) add beef and cook until browned. Drain and set aside.
Spread soup and beans into bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Slowly add meat mixture, then top with tater tots and season with salt to taste. (OK... I did some things differently here. First, I put the soup and half and half in the Pyrex first. Then I added the green beans and stirred them in there and spread it out. Then I added the meat [which I seasoned with seasoning salt, love that stuff] and put shredded cheddar cheese on top of that. -made a big difference.- THEN I put the tater tots on top and did not put additional salt on top.)
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes, or until casserole is cooked through. (I think I did 35 minutes)

Chicken Delight

I was looking for chicken recipes on allrecipes.com and came across this one. It's super easy and we thought it was good. I'll put my notes of things I'd change in red.

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup sour cream (I will only use maybe 1/2 or 3/4 cups at the most next time. 1 cup is a lot and kinda puts a thick layer as it bakes on top of the chicken.)
2 tbsp worchestershire sauce (is that even how it's spelled? I can't remember. lol Anyways, I'll probably only use 1 tbsp, maybe 1 1/2 tbsp next time. And that's coming from a worchestershire lover. lol)
1 tsp paprika
1 teaspon garlic powder (I used a couple teaspoons of minced garlic. All I had was garlic salt and I didn't want to overload it with salt. Next time I'll probably add more garlic)
1/2 tsp white pepper (I was out of white pepper, so I just used regular black pepper. I think I put too much. lol go easy on it.)
1 cup crushed buttery round crackers
(I also added some onion powder and some seasoning salt. I'll probably leave out the onion powder next time, leave out the paprika and use seasoning salt instead.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry. Place them in a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish. In a bowl, mix sour cream, worchestershire sauce, paprika (or seasoning salt), garlic [powder], and pepper. Spread mixture over chicken, then sprinkle all with cracker crumbs.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for one hour.
