Creamy burrito casserole

"This deserves a triple star" is what I heard after serving this dish. And boy did it smell fantastic.

Creamy burrito casserole
1 lb ground beef
Cream of mushroom soup
Sour cream
Shredded taco cheese
6 large tortilla shells
Onion
Taco seasoning
Refrained beans

Brown your meat with onions and drain.
Add taco seasoning and beans into drained meat.
Combine soup and sour cream in a bowl and set aside.
Grease a 9x13 baking dish and pour half your sour cream mixture on bottom.
Tear up 3 shells and spread on top of mixture.
Half of meat mixture on top of that. Topped with cheese.
Repeat layers.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes!

This meal is very filling! And you could garnish this with anything you like on tacos. Such as lettuce, black olives or tomato. A great Mexican dish for those who don't like spicy food.

Happy cooking!

Pork chops o'brien

This was a half hit half miss recipe. The pork chops were amazing the potatoes were just ok. So I think next time I'll make the pork chops the same and do a different potato dish. But it's worth a taste

Pork chops o'brien
Frozen hash browns o'brien-thawed
6 pork chops
Cream of celery soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
Frenchs French fried onions
Shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp pepper

Brown your pork chops.
In a large bowl mix milk, sour cream, pepper, 1/2 cup fried onions, 1/2 cup cheese. Fold in hashbrowns.
Pour mixture into a greased 9x13 baking dish. Place pork chops on top.
Bake covered at 350 for 40-45 minutes
Pour remaining cheese and onions on top and bake uncovered for 5-10 minutes.

This recipe was super easy and I do plan to make it again and put my own twist on it. I'll post that recipe as well!

Happy cooking!

Cheesy chicken ranch lasagna

Sometimes I can't tell if the family enjoys one of these recipes or not until the second helping comes around. And this was one of them. I was a little nervous because first I didn't think I had enough chicken and then I wasn't sure about the sauce. But it came out great and smelled amazing.

Cheesy chicken ranch lasagna
Lasagna noodles
Chicken breasts cooked and cubed
2 cans of evaporated milk
Ranch dressing dry packet
Pepper
Shredded cheddar cheese
Shredded mozzarella cheese

Cook your chicken an your noodles.
Preheat your oven to 350
In a saucepan on low heat mix milk ranch and pepper.
Let simmer for 25 minutes stirring frequently.
Take a 9x13 greased baking dish and layer noodles-chicken-sauce-cheese and repeat.
Bake for 35-40 minutes
Let sit for 10 minutes before serving

The sauce I thought would thicken up but it only kinda did. My fiancé liked the bottom noodle cause it soaked up the sauce and my mom liked the top noodle cause it was crunchy and covered in cheese. Hope you enjoy!

Crock pot Italian chicken

This was an amazing meal. And again made the house smell amazing all day long. I loved this mostly because I didn't have to touch it. Don't have to stir it or anything just put it in and leave it alone.

Crock pot italian chicken
4 chicken breasts
Mini carrots
Potatoes cubed
16oz bottle of italian dressing
Italian seasoning
Parmesan cheese

Spray your crock pot and pour a small amount of Italian dressing on bottom place your chicken in and pour more dressing on top. Sprinkle italian seasoning on top. Add carrots and potatoes and pour the rest of the dressing on top. Sprinkle more italian seasoning on the very top.
Cook low 8 hours. Serve with Parmesan cheese on top

Chicken was literally falling apart trying to get it out. This dish was so good. I recommend it.
