Enchiladas casserole


Enchiladas is something that my family has been making this for years. The truth is being a kid raised in the back of the a Mexican restaurant you would think that I would make a bunch of Mexican food but I don't. 
You will need a lot. 

One pot: Boil two chicken breast with a packet of fajita seasoning or taco. Then when chicken if fully cooked strain it and leave to rest. 

In the same pot, because I hate doing dishes.

1. One whole onion, chopped.
2. One large can of green chili peppers.
3. Half a cup of your favorite salsa.
4. One large can of Olives.
5. One can of dices tomatoes
6. One large can of Enchilada sauce. Red or Green it does not matter. Save a little bit for the bottom of the casserole dish.
7. As much Garlic as you can stand.
8. Dice or shred the chicken.
9. Shred what ever cheese you would like and how much you like.

In the casserole or you might need something larger because it always over flows when I make it.

*** PUT YOUR CASSEROLE OVER A COOKIE SHEET***PREHEAT OVEN TO 375***

1. Pour the rest of the Enchilada sauce on the bottom.
2. Take corn tortillas and cut them or lay them anyway that you would like on the bottom and along the sides.
3. Take a little cheese and cover the bottom.
4. With a slotted spoon take the filling from the pot into the casserole dish and fill it.
5. Cover with cheese but save cheese too for the top.
6. Then cover the filling with corn tortillas and then the sauce that is left the pot then the cheese.

Cook for about 30-45 minutes.

Have fun with it. Change it if you want. I know some friends of mine put a layer of avocado or use queso fresco but you want to be careful about the salt of you use another cheese.

Pigs in a blanket








My family has always loved me making this and a every holiday, game night, or reunion there is a massive request. It is very easy and not that much to make. 

All you need is two cans of your favorite biscuits and two bags of cocktail wieners.

Open the biscuits and cut each one in thirds.

Wrap each wiener in one of the strips.

Make sure that you wrap the wiener completely, or it will unroll while the wiener is baking. 

Bake as instructed it is on the can and let cool.

Slow cooker potato soup





One of the best things that I have found is how to make a crock-pot potato soup. As I looked it up my heart was screaming. It's not exactly healthy, but can you really put a price of hot soup on a winter day?

Once again spice everything to your liking. Also, keep in mind this is for a family of five. 

It is a great thing to put together, go to work,top with bacon bits and boom dinner.

Spices: Salt, pepper, garlic, bay leaf, and what ever you think will work.

1. One packet of chicken thighs, cooked and chopped.
2. One large onion, roughly chopped
3. One packet of Onion soup mix.
4. 5 sticks of celery.
5. Two frozen Hash browns, what ever kind you like is fine.
6. One can of chicken broth.
7. One bag of frozen corn.
8. One package of cream cheese, room temp.
9. Two cans of cream of chicken.
10. Water

Now, this is how I pile everything in. You put the chicken stock, spices, cream of chicken, thighs, onions soup mix, onions, and then the hash browns. Fill 3/4 of the crock pot. Keep the crock pot on low for about 6 hours. At the last hour, add your room temp cream cheese. Stir until everything is mixed well and done. 

If you want, you can add cheese, bacon and sour cream and it will be just like a baked potato.
