Quick & easy recipes.........

Oh you are all making my mouth water! I LOVE mexican food as of late, and I will definately be trying some of these!!!

I had never ever liked refried beans ...but i tried them again the other day and they were really good. so now i'll take:

1 small flour tortilla
some of the refried beans
shredded nacho cheese.
and a bit of salsa, just to make it a little wet so it goes down better

then i put the tortilla in a frying pan and then all the toppings. and heat it all up till the tortilla is crispy and everything else it all hot and melted

Very tasty!

That sounds yummy!!!!

I really LOVE this thread. Thanks Jessie for starting it. GREAT ideas!

Chicken Wondermere

2 cans of golden mushroom soup
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup of sour cream
1/2 cup of mayo
4 boneless chicken breast

3/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

mix sour cream, mayo and soups in a bowl
place chicken breasts in a 9x13 dish..pour mixture over chicken, top with cheese, bake at 350 for 1 hour serve over rice or egg noodles. This is my familys favorite, I make it weekly.

What do you think I could substitute for the cream of mushroom soup? I hate, hate, hate mushrooms - could I do 4 cans of cream of chicken instead of 2? Would love your advice!

Actually it is golden mushroom soup but you can replace it with cream of celery coup, I do this exact same recipe with cream of celery instead of the golden mushroom , it is just as good..just a different color and a different taste but still delicious., this one I reccomend serving over rice though.

Wow, thanks for all the yummy recipes!! Hope to try a few real soon1
