Savory Chicken

  This is a meal we have quite frequently, so frequently that I used to detest it.  However, I have begun to like it lately.  I unfortunately don't have a picture for this either.

  #8 Chicken Breasts

   Wash, trim and place in slow cooker.

  1 medium Onion, thinly sliced

  2 cloves Garlic, minced

  Sprinkle over meat.  

  1 cup Oil

  1/2 cup Vinegar or Lemon Juice *

  2 tsp Honey

  1 TBSP each Oregano, Basil and Paprika

  2 ½ tsp each Dry Mustard and Black Pepper

  1 TBSP Salt

  Mix thoroughly in a bowl and pour over meat and onions.  Cover and cook on low: 8-9 hours.  Serve as a sandwich spread with Mayo, or over rice.  Both ways taste scrummy!

  *It has been many years since I have used Lemon Juice, so I don't remember how it tastes, but Apple Cider Vinegar is my normal choice and for something a little more special tasting, I used Balsamic Vinegar.

 

Nacho Casserole

  My humblest apologies all!  *bows so low my nose touches my knees*  Mairwen and I have been crazy busy and we just haven't had time to post.  Even my personal blog has suffered.  

  Today I will be sharing a family favorite.  I don't have a picture, but this is a delicious casserole.  It was originally a layered dish, but that became too much hassle, so we just mix everything together!

  3# Ground Turkey (you can use any meat you'd like.  I prefer Gr. Beef.)

  1 ¼ cups Chopped Onion

  2 cloves Garlic, minced

  1 cup Sour Cream

  8 oz. Tomato Sauce

  7 oz. Chopped Gr. Chilies

  6 oz. Tomato Paste

  4 oz. Black Olives, sliced

  20 oz. Tortilla Chips, coarsely crumbled

  12 oz. Monterey Jack Cheese, shredded

  Brown the Gr. Meat, Onion and Garlic together, drain.  

  Mix together Sour Cream, Tomato Sauce, Gr. Chilies, Tomato Paste, Black Olives and Tortilla Chips.  Add drained Meat mixture.  Spread in a greased 9x13x2" glass baking dish.  Cover with Aluminum foil and bake on 350° for 20 minutes.  Remove Aluminum foil, sprinkle cheese on top and pop back in the oven for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.  Enjoy!!

Note: This is also a great freezer meal.  In that case, put the cheese on before freezing and bake for 1 ½ hours.
