Chicken Enchiladas
From Barbara Whiting,
This dish is microwaved, so it's done in a hurry.
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound of boneless chicken breasts, cubed
1 can of Cream of Chicken soup
1 cup of salsa (I used mild)
8 tortillas (6 inch)
1 can of Cheddar Cheese soup
PREPARATION:
COOK chicken in nonstick skillet until browned and done, stirring often. Add chicken soup and 1/2 cup of salsa. Heat through. SPOON about 1/3 cup chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll up tortilla around filing and place seam-side down in a 2-quart microwave-safe baking dish.
MIX cheese soup and remaining salsa and pour over enchiladas. COVER and microwave on HIGH 5 min. or until hot. This serves 4, so if you need more just double this recipe.
Express Jambalaya
From Barbara Whiting,
Love Jambalaya but don't want to spend hours preparing it? Then try this quick and tasty version.
INGREDIENTS:
1 package Spanish Rice-a-Roni
about 3-4 chicken breast- I buy the Cajun Chicken By George
1/2 pound of sausage -I buy andouille but you can use any Polish sausage
1 can of of tomatoes -I use the Mexican seasoned tomatoes
crushed red pepper (optional)
PREPARATION:
Cook the chicken breast and sausage till done:
Cook rice-a-roni in large skillet; add the water, tomatoes, seasoning from rice-a-roni, cooked chicken, cooked sausage and cook for about 15 -20 minutes.
(If you can't find the chicken by George you can use plain chicken breast and just season them with a little onion salt, garlic salt and cayenne).
Sausage and Peppers
Just saute some sweet sausage with vegetables and serve it over hot cooked ziti with this easy recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
Sweet Italian sausage
Onion, chopped
Green Pepper, chopped
Garlic
Olive oil
Cooked Ziti
Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION:
Buy a package of sweet Italian sausage; if your family is bigger so you may want to use two. I boil them first; that way I know they are cooked through, and it makes them less greasy.
Just saute onion, green pepper, and garlic in some olive oil, add chopped up sausage.
I like to add black olives. Serve it over hot cooked ziti, with plenty of parmesan cheese, and some garlic bread.
1 lb ground beef
taco mix
dry ranch mix
1 can rotel
1 can del monte mexican style tomatos (blended)
2 cans pinto beans
1 can red kidney beans
2 cans corn
Optional- beef brof to make it thinner and last longer
This is so good and really filling because of the beans so it last for awhile.
Hamburger Stew
1 lb. Ground Hamburger
1 Large Can Cream Of Mushroom Soup
1-2 Packets of Country Gravy Mix
4 Potatoes washed and cubed (with or without skins, whichever you prefer)
4-6 Carrots, washed, peeled and sliced thinly
4-5 Celery stalks, washed, sliced thin chunks
Various Spices, Season-All, Chives, Pepper, Salt, or whatever spices you like.
Alternatly, you can use Mushrooms sliced or Zuchinni Squash or both.
While washing and chopping or cutting all your veggies into a large bowl, fry hamburger til browned and cooked completely.
With all the veggies, you can either boil them first for a while to soften or use a slow cooker to cook. Then you don't have to pre cook them.
In another bowl, mix the Cream Of Mushroom Soup with the packet(s) of Gravy Mix. Then add water, alittle at a time, then mix, until it's like pudding, maybe just a little runnier.
Add all ingredients together and mix with large spoon, add to large pot. Allow to simmer on low for 2- 4 hours or put all in a slow cooker and simmer all day. Either way, just add crackers or a salad or both and it's a meal.

I tossed a bunch of stuff in a pan and made it awesome. I call it Chicken Pot-Pie Rice.
Get four boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins. Cut them up, and put them in a pan with a little vegetable oil in it on low heat. Sprinkle chicken seasoning liberally over chicken, add a pinch of garlic seasoning, a good dose of onion seasoning, and just a touch of ginger. Heat until chicken is no longer pink in the middle.
Toss in veggies of your choice (I like to use Asian Medley frozen veggies with the baby corn). Add a little more chicken seasoning. Drop in a can of cream of mushroom soup (do NOT add a full can of water to the condensed soup, just use half a can). Stir well. Add 1 tsp. chicken boullion. Cook until everything is hot.
Meanwhile, put on rice (1 cup rice, two and a half cups water, one teaspoon salt, heat to boil, boil until soft).
Top your rice with your chicken stuff.
These I learned from my grandma, who had 10 kids...
Mix hamburger with chopped onion and egg and fry in patties. They are great with ketchup and no bun. (the egg and onions make the hamburger feed more people)
Mix canned salmon, crakers and egg and fry in patties. These are great with lemon juice or ketchup.
Fry some potatoes (in bacon grease is the best), add chopped onions and green peppers. While the potatoes are frying, whisk some eggs with milk, tear up pieces of bread and add to the egg mixture until the bread soaks up all the egg mixture. When the potatoes are just about done, add the eggs with bread and cover for a few minutes. Uncover, mix well and continue frying until egg mixture is cooked thru. (if you cooked some bacon first for the grease, crumble the bacon and add to warm up before serving)
All these recipes use egg to stretch the staple food to feed more people.
Thanks for the question, I will check back to see your other answers!
