Some Favorite Recipes of Mine

Everyone has their favorite dishes that they make all the time. Thought I would share a few of mine =)

Mexican Chicken Casserole (Brian's favorite, he would seriously eat it once a week if I made it)

3-4 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
1 can of cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, and rotel
1/2 lb of velveeta cheese, cubed
tortilla chips

Spray the bottom of a 13x9 pan
layer chicken in bottom of pan
layer cubed cheese on top
mix together soups and rotel, pour on top

bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until bubbly, crush chips and put on top for last 5 minutes

Salsa (great for parties)

1 large can of Petite Diced Tomatoes (drained as much as possible)
1 bellpepper
1 jalepeno
1/4 cup onion
garlic, cilantro, lemon juice, cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt

Cut bellpepper, jalepeno, and onion into big chunks.
Mix tomatoes and bellpepper, jalepeno, and onion in a bowl.
Add 2 teaspoons of garlic, 3 squirts of lemon juice, and a few handfuls of cilantro
"mix" in a blender until everything is finely chopped

Add spices/salt to taste. You may need more garlic and cilantro too. It's all about how spicy/garlicy you like it. I usually add a lot of cilantro.

If you need to make it for a large party, double everything except diced tomatoes, just add one smaller can.

Also, if you like it more chunky, get 2 cans of diced tomatoes instead of a large one, and only add one to the blender then add the second can in after.

Guacomole (also great for parties)

4 avocados, peeled and pits removed
1 can rotel (drained as much as possible)
cilantro
1/4 cup onion, chopped
2 teaspoons garlic
lemon juice
salt or garlic salt (instead of garlic) to taste

mash avocados with a fork
mix everything and chill!

YUM!

I will try to post some more favorites later =)
