Hi everybody! This is one of my favorite casseroles. It is easy to make & can be made low fat by using low fat items. Here it goes! Hope you like it!

1 cup sourcream
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. salt
2 1/2 cups chopped, cooked chicken breasts
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 (4 oz.) can of chopped green chiles
1 (2 lb.) package of o'brien hashed browns (they have onions & peppers)
2 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients, reserving 1/2 cup cheese for top after baking. Pour into greased casserole dish & bake for 1 hour & 15 minutes. This recipe can be cut in half. It makes a large pyrex casserole dish full (cake pan size).

I would love them, if you don't mind. I have a 2 1/2 year old and he is getting into many different things now.

Children's Clay

1 cup cornstarch
1 cup cold water
1/2 cup baking soda

Combine cornstarch & baking soda in saucepan; add water. Cook on medium heat til mixture boils & is clay like. Remove from & knead on cornstarch dusted surface until it reaches the right consistency (clay). Cover with damp cloth & cool. Store in plastic bag. You can also roll out to desired thickness on cornstarch dusted surface & cut with cookie cutters, bake @ 250 degrees for 1 1/2 hours, paint, dry & varnish, to make christmas decorations. Use straw to make hole for hanger. I have done this & they look really great!
