In greased large casserole, pour 2 cups white rice, add thawed and lightly browned in butter, chicken breasts. Cover with Family Size can of Cream of Chicken or Cream of Mushroom soup, plus 1 four cup box of Chicken Broth. Cover and Bake in 350 degree oven for 1 hour. Love it with Green Beans and Rhodes Rolls.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Thaw two deep dish pie crusts and poke with fork. Bake pie crusts as directed on package for 1 crust pie.

While they're baking, mix:

1 2/3 cups hot water
1 package (6 oz.) Stove Top Stuffing Mix
3 T. butter or margarine
(can add sauteed minced onion and celery too - yum!)

Stir just until moistened. Set aside.

Combine:
4 cups chopped cooked turkey
1 bag (16 oz.) frozen mixed veggies or broccoli
1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed Cream of Chicken or Cream of Mushroom soup (you can just use leftover gravy too)
3/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (with mushroom or gravy, I leave out the cheese)

Pour Turkey/Veggie mixture into pie crusts, top with stuffing. Turn oven down to 350, and bake 30 minutes or until heated through.

Soooooo delicious - the kids could not get enough of it and had the leftovers for breakfast!

*If you don't have pie crusts, or want to save some calories, just spray a 9x13" casserole and pour the turkey mix in, then top with stuffing mix and bake 30 min at 350.


To Freeze ahead for Once a Month Cooking: prepare soup/turkey/veggie mix. Freeze in two Ziploc containers or 1 gallon freezer bags with the package of frozen pie crusts. Be sure to have your box of dressing in the pantry. On the day of serving, thaw turkey mix in fridge or microwave to soften, and continue as directed.

Oh, I just realized that a layer of mashed potatoes, turkey, layer of cheese, layer of veggies, layer of gravy/soup, layer of stuffing...then bake, would be just heavenly. (Is the word layer starting to look weird to you too?) Yeah, I don't generally love shepherd's pie, but still...it's all about the contents and proportions. Right?

Fry 1 package corn tortillas in hot oil for about 15 seconds on each side (enough to soften, not fry crisp) - set aside.

Saute 1minced onion in 1 T. oil, add 1 lb. ground beef, brown, rinse and season with salt and pepper.

In each tortilla roll a couple of tablespoons ground beef, and some grated cheddar or jack cheese. Place side by side in sprayed (with Pam or something) 9x13 pan. (You can cover and freeze or refrigerate at this point, if you are making ahead.)

When ready to serve, cover with Red Enchilada Sauce, cover and bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes (if frozen, it may take an hour) or sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted, uncover, sprinkle with grated cheese, bake just until cheese is melted and serve.

Great with refried beans or pinto beans, pico de gallo sauce, shredded lettuce, minced onions, and sour cream. My grandma used to always serve scrambled eggs with enchiladas. We also love them with Pork and Beans.

3 beaten eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 c. chopped green onion
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
dash ground nutmeg
3/4 cup chopped cooked chicken, ham, etc.
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (swiss, cheddar, jack, or havarti - 6 oz.)
1 T. all-purpose flour

Preheat oven according to package instructions, prepare pastry crust (I use ready crust that comes in a roll or else a regular freezer pie crust). Bake crust as for 1 crust pie.

Meanwhile, in a bowl stir together eggs, milk, onion, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in cooked meat. Toss together grated cheese and flour. Add to egg mixture; mix well.

Pour egg mixture into hot pastry shell. Bake in 325 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes or till a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If necessary, cover edge of crust with foil to prevent over browning. Let stand for 10 minutes. Serves 6.

Other great quiche combinations: cheddar, green chile, onion & sausage; swiss, onion, spinach & bacon; ham & cheddar; mushroom, cheddar, bacon; anything that sounds good to you. (Saute the veggies/ cook the meat, before adding so that most of the liquid is out of them.)
