  7. My go-to thing....chicken enchiladas

    I don't have it written down recipe style...but I always use corn tortillas, which you have to cook in a little vegetable oil, mix up cream of chicken soup with some sour cream and green chiles, roll chicken, the sour cream mix up into the tortillas and spread extra sour cream mix on top of all the enchiladas. top with cheese and bake til warm and bubbly.

  8. I have always made **Chicken & Rice**

    It's my mom's recipe, and everyone has always loved it.

    1 Can Cream of Chicken
    1 Can Cream of Celery
    1 Can Cream of Mushroom
    1 Cup Rice ( not minute rice)
    2/3 Cup water

    Mix all of that together and put in a greased casserole dish.
    Then add 6 to 8 frozen Chicken Tenders. Push them down into the
    rice so they are covered.
    Put some slices of butter on top, for yummy crust.

    Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1&1/2 hours.

    This is so yummy, and all the kids love it too!!!

  9. Beans and Rice (from our affluent college days--we still love this)

    Wash 3 cups of dry black beans. (I have never soaked a pot of beans overnight in my life).
    Place beans in CrockPot and add at least 6 cups of water.
    Turn CrockPot on high and let the beans cook for 4-5 hours.
    Once the beans are softened you may add spices.
    We add dashes of onions, garlic powder, salt, pepper, cumin, crushed red pepper,....
    We often mash them a little at this point too. It is entirely up to you.
    Once you are ready to serve the beans, you can add chopped cilantro.

    Make your favorite white rice.

    Layer Rice, Beans, and then Cheese on your plate.
