Chicken cordon blue casserole

So yummy! Makes me want to sing the yo gabba gabba song! Again very easy meal and you will have to stop yourself for eating the entire pan in one sitting! Instead of paprika I use chili powder. And use dried parsley.

2 c cooked rice
2 c cooked chicken cut into pieces
6 slices Swiss cheese
10 slices of cut up ham
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
1/2 c milk
1/2 c sour cream

Frosting!!

In need of a yummy and easy frosting recipe? Well look no further! With 5 ingredients it doesn't get much easier then this! The hardest part is probably sifting the powdered sugar! And y'all that is pretty darn easy to do! Also ley the butter sit out and get to room temperature. Do NOT I repeat do NOT melt the butter in the microwave. You will end up with a super thin frosting that will never ever harden! Also add the milk a little bit at a time till at the thickness you want. Do NOT add all the milk in at the same time! As you can tell I have made every mistake possible! This frosting is perfect for cookies, cupcakes, eating alone, and putting on graham crackers! Yum!

3 c sifted powdered sugar
1/2 c butter(remember at room temp!
1 tsp almond extract
1/2 tap vanilla
About 1/6 c milk

A real man meal. Meat and potatoes. Very simple to make. You can make it with any type of canned or frozen veggie. And I at time brown the meat with seasoning instead of an onion.

1 lb ground beef
1/2 an onion

1 can green beans
1 cup frozen corn
Mashed potatoes and cheese to top.

Brown meat and onion together. Mix meat, and veggies with soup. Top with potatoes and cheese.

Bake 350 for 30 mins. Should be bubbling and cheese should be melted.
