Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Casserole (my dh's FAVORITE!)

I know how to make green chile sauce homemade since living in New Mexico but I have found that this is MUCH easier and less time consuming so I will post the easy version. My dh can't tell a difference.

4 boneless chicken breasts ( large ones)
1 4 oz. can of diced green chiles
2 cans of Old El Paso GREEN enchilada sauce( Super Wal-MArt carries it)
1 can of Cream of Mushroom soup
1 medium onion diced
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
1/2 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
12 corn tortillas

Okay start by boiling chicken in water. Doesn't take long to cook this way so watch it. Once done take out of water and shred on cutting board. Then dice onion. In large bowl combine chicken, onion, soup, green chiles, and one can of Green chile sauce. Mix well.

In frying pan add enough oil to cover bottom of pan with a thin layer. Heat up and put tortillas in there briefly. By briefly I mean a matter of seconds to make them soft. Drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.

In 9x13 casserole dish lay 6 tortillas. 2 on each row three times if that makes sense? Then add the chicken mixture. Again add the 6 tortillas to cover the chicken layer. on top of that pour the second can of the green chile enchilada sauce. Top that with the cheese.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Let stand for about ten minutes for cutting to allow to set up. This dish is even better the second day. I usually serve with Spanish rice.

Mt. Dew Cake

1-18.25 oz Box of lemon cake mix
1-3.4 oz box of lemon instant pudding mix
1- 12 oz can of mountain dew
3/4 cup of vegetable oil- I use canola oil
4- large eggs

Preheat oven to 325 lightly grease & flour bundt pan( I use non stick spray)

In a large bowl combine cake mix & pudding mix, Add soda, oil and eggs. Beat with electric mixer on medium until smooth. Pour into pan and bake for 45-50 minute until toothpick inserted into middle comes out clean.

I made this SUPER simple cake this week for my husband on Sunday and needless to say it is all gone. He LOVED it!

Here is the link for the chocolate cake I made for DH's bday. It looks sort of complicated but it really wasn't. The hardest part was that some things had to be refrigerated in between steps.

I started cooking differently about two months ago and i thought i'd share what i've been doing.

I prepare recipes that make 6-8 servings, then i divide them into small toss away metal baking pans into portions for two, then i cook the meal, freeze it and then reheat it when we need it. By doing this i get 4 meals out of one recipe, we are saving money, when i was working it was a life saver, since Olivia doesn't always cooperate when it is time to cook dinner it is really nice to have a good meal ready in the freezer, there is no clean up since i use the toss away pans, and no leftovers because of the small portions. This is basically the way we cook all of our meals now. I saw a book called Meals for the Month and got the idea. So far it is working great for us.

Here are some recipes i use alot..

Tammy~ I made your hamburger corn bake casserole tonight & it was yummy. I didn't have bread crumbs, so I used French's onions on top!

Kayla · #29 (**permalink**) 03-29-2008, 01:27 PM

Taco Pie

1.5 lb ground hamburger meat
1 packet taco seasoning
2 cans refried beans
salsa
1 bag shredded mexican cheese

Brown your meat and follow direction on seasoning packet.

Mix in salsa. I use tons but its really a preference thing.

Cover the bottom of a small casserole dish(7 to 9 inches wide, deeper is better) with beans. Follow with meat, cheese, beans, etc. Top with oodles of cheese. Bake on 350 until your cheese is nice and melty.

Serve with your favorite taco toppings and tortilla chips. It looks a little funky when you scoop it out but its GOOD!

Takes about 45 minutes to an hour. Most of that is baking. Actual prep I would say 20 minutes.
