Cornbread Chili Casserole

 I found the original recipe over at Mommy's Kitchen. And, of course I tweaked it to my liking and it turned out great. I totally forgot to take pictures while I was preparing this, so I only got a few pictures of it once I took it out the oven.

Cornbread Chili Casserole

1 lb. ground Turkey, browned, (drained)
½ cup chopped onion
1 can diced tomatoes (do not drain)
2 (15 oz) cans of Beans of your Choice (I used Ranch Style and Kidney Beans (drained the kidney beans)
approx ½ - tsp. Garlic powder
approx 3 - tsp. chili powder (I suggest you season to your liking)
approx ½ - tsp. garlic salt
salt & pepper
1 cup shredded cheese
1/2 cup or a little less, additional cheddar cheese for batter (optional)
2 - packages Jiffy Corn Muffin

Mix Brown turkey meat with onion and season. Add Tomatoes, Beans and additional seasonings (opt.)
Simmer for 15 minutes.

Put into greased 9x13 pan and sprinkle cheese on top of meat. Mix corn bread mix according to box directions. (I added some cheese in the corn muffin mix before pouring it on top)

Pour corn muffin mix on top of the chili and cheese cover completely. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Mexican Chicken Bake

This recipe was full of deliciousness, my whole family enjoyed it. It is fairly quick and easy to make-I found the original recipe over on Six Sisters Stuff, they called theirs Texas Ranch Chicken. For my recipe I just tweaked it a bit and made it my own.
 Only thing is the chicken I boil, season and shred my own chicken so that does take a bit of time. But, you could easily prep the chicken before hand or just do what I do. It's worth it, because the flavor is so much better when you boil it and season the chicken.

What You Need:

• 1 onion, diced
• 1 green pepper, diced (opt.)
• 1 red pepper, diced
• 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (season w/ garlic powder, salt/pepper ect)
• 1 can cream of celery soup
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 1 can Rotel, undrained
• 1 Tablespoon chili powder
• 12 Flour tortillas, cut into 1-inch long strips
• 2 cups shredded Cheese (Colby/ Monterrey)

 

Directions:

 

1. Preheat oven to 350-400 degrees

 

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, saute onion, peppers in oil until tender. Add garlic and saute for a few more minutes. Stir in chicken, soups, Rotel, and chili powder

 

3. Line your baking pan with half of the tortilla strips. Top with half of the chicken mixture and 1 cup of cheese, then Repeat layers

 

4. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

I've made this a lot and it is by far one of my kids favorite things. Its great because it can be a side dish or the main meal. And, it goes well with any meat and is great for any holiday side dish as well.

Ingredients:

20-36oz-Large bag of Hashbrowns (frozen or thawed)
8oz-Sour Cream
1 Can of Cream of Chicken
1 Stick of Butter (Melted-I melt mine in my pan so it greases my pan & pour the melted butter in mixture.)
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheese (about 2 hand fulls)

Directions:

In a large bowl mix together the Hash browns, sour cream, Cream of Chicken, melted butter, and about a hand full of cheese. Mix Well
Pour/ Spoon your mixture into your butter greased pan and sprinkle the remainder of the cheese on top.
Bake for 30-40 minutes at 350-400 degrees or until cheese starts to bubble and brown.
