Taco Bake

Recipe Coming soon! (as soon as i rescue it off of my school computer!) I seem to have lost my copy somewhere around here!

Chicken Pot Pie

This is a little different than when I make it :-) I have a meeting immediately after school until 4:30 and won't get home until after 5- then have a YW board meeting at 6! No time to cook dinner! Jason has reluctantly agreed to cook dinner for us. Don't get me wrong- he's a great cook, but has a limited range of what he is comfortable cooking. He likes to cook new things only when I'm there to supervise! He gathered up all the ingredients while on the phone with me just a minute ago- too cute!

Chicken Pot Pie (modified for ease of husband!)
2 cans chicken- drained
1 can cream of celery soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cans mixed veggies- drained
1/2 cup milk

Crust:
1 1/4 cup Bisquick
1 cup milk
1 stick butter (melted)
1/2 tsp. pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with Pam.

3. Mix soups and milk until well blended. Fold in chicken and vegetables. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish.

4. Mix butter, milk, pepper and Bisquick together and pour evenly over soup and chicken mix.

5. Bake uncovered at 350º for one hour.

Easy Shepherd's Pie

I'm all about the easy recipes :-) Less ingredients, less mess- unless Jason is in the kitchen :-), less time...

I got this recipe from Jess when I was on vacation down in GA in Sept. I think it is originally from Real Simple magazine (which I love love love!)

Easy Shepherd's Pie

1 lb. ground meat (I use turkey instead of ground beef in every recipe)
1/3 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
8 oz. frozen or canned mixed veggies (I double up on veggies- usually about 2 cans)
1/4 cup shredded cheese
1 16-oz. pkg. refrigerated or frozen and thawed mashed potatoes (I use instant potatoes from my food storage- you can use however much you want depending on how thick you want the potato layer to be)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cook ground meat in a skillet over medium high heat. Drain any fat. Stir in the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. (I tend to use a bit more ketchup than what is called for and add Worcestershire to taste- Jason likes saucy dishes and I love the tangy taste the Worcestershire gives) Add the veggies and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes. Spoon meat and veggie mixture into a baking dish. Spread the potatoes over the meat and veggie mixture and top with shredded cheese. Bake until heated through- around 10 minutes.
