Mushroom chicken bake

So easy and it's only 3 ingredients. And I bet you have them in your house right now! I served it will mash potatoes and used the extra sauce as gravy. If someone in your family has an aversion to mushrooms you can use cream of chicken soup instead. Still so good! Plus my almost one year old even loved it! He was making yum noises while he ate it! Can't beat it when a almost one year old love it! And no pictures because it is so simple you would laugh looking at the pictures!!

8 chicken legs or 6 chicken breasts
1 large can of cream of mushroom soup. Or 2 regular cans.
All purpose Seasoning salt to taste.

Preheat oven to 400. Evenly space chicken in 9x13 pan. Pour soup over. And then sprinkle seasoning salt on top. Cook for 1 hour. Stir half way through.

That's it!! So easy!!! Enjoy!

Buffalo Chicken Casserole

Want some loaded potato skins? But want to make a meal out of it? This recipe is so good. My husband was in love with this. We very rarely finish our left overs before they go bad. But this dish was half eaten for dinner and then we finished off the rest for lunch. It's one of those meals that gets better the next day! I promise. I did not use every specific ingredient I just uses he closest thing I had to them. I used chili powder instead of paprika. And garlic salt instead of garlic powder. And then for hot sauce I used tobasco. I am not a fan of tobasco but this kind of made me a fan. Thank you pinterest! Oh and I promise my pictures will actually be in order now that I have a app to make them into one picture!! Enjoy!!!

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1/2 inch cubes
8-10 medium potatoes cut into 1/2 inch cubes,skin on
1/3 c olive oil
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 TBS freshly ground pepper
2 TBS paprika
2 TBS garlic powder
6 TBS hot sauce

Topping:
2 c Fiesta blend cheese or a cheddar jack cheese mix
1 c crumbled bacon
1 c diced green onion

Preheat oven to 500. Mix olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and hot sauce. Add potatoes to the mix and coat. Spray a 9x13 pan. Carefully scoop into dish, leaving behind as much sauce as possible. Set aside you will need that in a little bit. Bake for 45-50 mins until potatoes are brown and crispy. While potatoes are cooking place cut up chicken breasts into the remainder of the sauce. Once potatoes are fully cooked remove from oven and lower temperature to 400. Top with chicken. Mix together cheese, bacon and green onion. Top the raw chicken with the mixture. Return to the oven. Bake for 15 mins. Or until chicken is cooked through. Serve with hot sauce, ranch or sour cream.

Texas trash dip

1 c sour cream
1 8oz block cream Cheese, softened

First you mix together the cream cheese and sour cream. Then add in beans. Then add in the taco seasoning. Place that mix into a 9x13 pan. Then top with salsa if desired. Then top with cheese. Bake at 350 for 25-30 mins. You want the cheese melted and a little brown. Serve with chips.

Mississippi Roas t(Crockpot)

I have never had a roast that has been so delicious and extremely easy to make! I paired it with gravy made from the juice that was made from the butter and mixes. And roasted broccoli with blood orange soda! It was so good I cant even tell you how good! I seriously had to stop myself it was so good I didnt want to stop eating! By far my favorite thing I have tried from Pinterest! Enjoy!

Mississippi Roast

1 Roast (mine was 2lbs because there is only 2 of us)

1 packet ranch dressing mix

1 packet AuJu gravy mix

1 stick butter

5 pepperoncini's  ( you buy an entire jar)

1 place roast in crockpot

2 Pour ranch mix on top

3 Pour AuJu mix on top

4 Place butter on top

 5 Add Pepperoncinis 

 6 Cook on Low for 8 hours

7 Cut and enjoy!

 To make the juice into gravy I used a strainer to remove the fact and the peppers. Then added about 1/4 cup of flour. I just kept mixing it in little by little until I was happy with the thickness.

 For the broccoli I rinsed it cut it into bite size pieces. Place in bag drizzle in olive oil and pappas seasoning until coated to your desire. Cook at 375 for 20 mins. Until brown and tender.

It was an amazingly easy dinner. So delicious and minimal clean up! Which makes everything better!
