Recipe overload

And here is a whole slew of recipes we've tried this past week and liked.

I've even been brave enough to serve some of them to company even though we had never tried them before either.

I got all good, positive feed back!

Chicken Tortilla Bake
2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 can Rotel tomatoes (or tomatoes with chilis)
12 6" flour tortillas, cut in bite size pieces
3 cups cooked, diced chicken
1 cup shredded cheese of choice

Combine the cream of chicken soup and tomatoes and mix well. Place 1/3 of the cut up tortillas in the bottom of a greased 3 quart casserole dish. Place 1/2 of the chicken on top of tortillas, and then 1/2 of the soup mixture on top of chicken. Repeat the layers once more and then one more final layer of tortilla pieces. Cover and bake at 350* for 40 minutes. Uncover and top with cheese bake another 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted.

Cilantro Lime Chicken in the Crockpot
1.5 lbs chicken breast
Juice from 2 limes
1/4 dried cilantro
1 can black beans
1 16 oz bag frozen corn
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 of a onion chopped
1 teaspoon cumin

Marinate all ingredients in a gallon size ziplock bag for a few hours or overnight. Put all in crockpot and cook for 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high. Serve on tortillas with sour cream and salsa

Taco Casserole
1 lb ground turkey
1 16 oz can refried beans
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 16 oz jar salsa
2.5 cups broken tortilla chips
1/4 cup chopped olives
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Chopped onion, tomato, lettuce, sour cream, and salsa for toppings

Preheat oven to 350*. Brown turkey; drain. Stir in refried beans, salsa, and taco seasoning. Heat until boiling. In a ungreased 2 quart casserole dish place 2 cups of broken chips. Top with meat mixture and sprinkle with cheese and olives. Bake uncovered for 20-30 min until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve with chips, onion, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and salsa for toppings.

Loaded Baked Potato Chicken Casserole
2 lbs chicken breast, cubed
1/2 cup olive oil
10-12 small red potatoes, cubed
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 Tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon
1/2 cup chopped green onion
2 cup shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 475*. In a large bowl mix together olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add the potatoes and toss to coat well with olive oil mixture. Place the potatoes in a 9x13 baking dish, leaving as much of the olive oil behind as possible. Bake the potatoes for 1 hour, flipping with a fork every so often and checking for doneness with a fork. While potatoes are baking coat the chicken with remaining olive oil mixture and cook in a skillet until done. Once the potatoes are done remove them from the oven and turn the temp down to 400*. Add the chicken, bacon, onion, and cheese to the potatoes and bake for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted. Serve with sour cream and/or ranch.

These were all great meals! I've got several meals from this month on next months menu already :) today I have pizza casserole in the crockpot for lunch. Yummy!

  1. Yum! I have a breakfast enchilada recipe pinned to "success - morning chow" that was FANTASTIC! I used bacon, sausage, spinach, onion and jarred roasted red peppers for my filling. They are prepped ahead (overnight, or in the morning if baked for dinner), so it's super convenient. I highly recommend. I'm adding the cilantro lime chicken and the chicken tortilla bake to my grocery list for next week :) Thanks again for being the guinea pig, lol!
