This recipe came from one of my good friends Janice.  She is one of the girls that I stamp with each month.  We take turns stamping at each others house and the hostess cooks supper while the rest of us bring the side dishes.

2 Cups cooked Chicken
2 Cups Chicken Broth or Milk
2 Cans Chicken of Mushroom Soup
2 Tablespoon minced onion
1/2 lb grated cheese

Mix all ingredients together and put into greased casserole dish.  Bake at 350 for one hour covered.  Let sit for a few minutes before serving.

Creamy Chicken Hotdish

If you are from Minnesota you call it hot dish.  If you are from Iowa you call it a Casserole. Well since I am an official Minnesotan I am going to call this hot dish.  This is a good hot dish when you need to feed a lot of people.  It goes a long way.  Serve this with peas and some buns from scratch and you have the ultimate comfort food. 

1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup butter
1 (12 oz) cooked and drained egg noodles
2 (10 oz) cans cream of chicken soup - undiluted
1 (14.5 ) can chicken broth - or homemade - whatever you like
1 cup sour cream
2 cooked chicken breasts shredded or cubed - what ever you prefer

2 cups shredded cheese
36 Ritz crackers
1/4 cup melted butter

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a large pot over med-high heat, saute onions in butter until onions are tender.
3. Add in cream of chicken soup, sour cream and cheese; gradually stir in broth.
4. Cook over medium heat until cheese melts; stir in chicken and egg noodles; taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
5. Transfer mixture to a greased 2 ½ quart casserole.
6. Crush up Ritz crackers and add melted butter.  Sprinkle cracker crumbs over hot dish.
7. Bake in a preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until heated through and golden brown.

Tator Tot Casserole

This is one of my husbands favorite casseroles. I have to confess this really is not my favorite.  I will eat it,  but there is way better casseroles out there lol.  I think this is one of those casseroles that you either hate it or love it.  My son's friends love this recipe.  For their birthdays and for Christmas this is what they ask for.  So I am happy to oblige.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb hamburger or ground turkey
• 1 15 oz can veg all
• 1 can (10 3/4 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 2 cups cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 bag of Ore-Ida Crispy Crowns Tator Tots (they are the flat ones) or regular tator tots

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 2.5 quart casserole dish. In a large skillet saute hamburger, season with salt and pepper to taste.  Cook completely and drain.  In a small bowl combine the cream of mushroom soup and veg all, add hamburger. Stir all together.   Put the meat mixture in the bottom of your casserole dish and cover with cheese.  Place tator tots on top to cover the cheese mixture.You can add more Tator tots or less - up to you.  Bake in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until casserole is heated though and tots are nice and crispy. (I like to broil this for just a minute so the tots get nice and crispy) You don't have to but make sure if you do broil to keep a close eye on this as it can burn fast.

Breakfast Casserole

This was a recipe that I just threw together.  I loved breakfast casserole but my kids didn't like it cause of the bread. (I think they didn't like the soggy bread going on) so I had tasted and seen other casseroles make with hash browns so I thought what the heck.  Let's try it with hash browns.  I would have to say that I do enjoy it better with hash browns.

24 oz frozen shredded potatoes, thawed
salt and pepper
12 eggs
2 C milk or 1/2 and 1/2
1 t season salt
3 cups cheddar cheese, grated - or what ever your family enjoys
2 C chopped ham (you can substitute cooked sausage or bacon)

Heat oven to 350 degress. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Pour the thawed potatoes into the pan. Shake a little salt and pepper over the top.

In a large bowl whisk the eggs up. Add the milk, season salt, cheese and ham. Stir to mix it all together.

Pour it over the top of the potatoes. Cover with foil and let it hang out in the fridge overnight if you wish.

Bake for  90 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it sit for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps to make it solid. 

I bake without tin foil but if starts to get to brown for your liking just cover with foil and continue baking.

1 (16 oz) can sweet potatoes
1/4 cup brown sugar

Whip sweet potatoes, brown sugar, and butter (just like mashed potatoes).  Fold in OJ, cinnamon and honey.  Stir until combined.  Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until hot.  Add marshamallows and bake until lightly golden brown.
