Some of mine are:
Chicken Enchilda Casserole
2 cans cream of chicken soup
cooked chicken
bunch of torn corn tortillas
bunch of sour cream
bunch of cheddar cheese
2 cans diced green chiles
*Mix everything up and put it in a casserole dish at 375 until heated through
Chicken Pasta Salad
2 bags of my favorite noodles
Diced carrots
Frozen peas
cooked, diced chicken
topped with our favorite dressing
Beef Stroganoff
1.5 lbs ground beef
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1.5 cups sour cream
1 cup diced or sauteed (I like both) onions
Served over rice
Chicken Roll-ups
3 diced or shredded cooked chicken breasts
A brick or two of cream cheese
A bunch of diced green onions
6 cans of refrigerated croissant/crescent dough
Mix all ingredients except for dough. Place some of mixture in each crescent dough triangle and roll up and cook according to package directions.
**We've also made this using tortillas rather than the dough and I've often wondered how it would taste with just regular biscuit dough. Adding bacon is wonderfully tasty, too, if you are not worried about the fat and don't mind spending the extra money.
My Variations on Mexican Mix-Up (submitted by Utah doula below)
2 large cans red enchilada sauce
2 cans black beans
1 diced green bell pepper
3/4 diced white onion
2-4 cups frozen corn
Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer until the corn is cooked through and warm. Serve over rice. Top with grated cheddar cheese.
**We preferred this recipe without chicken and find it's a very filling, tasty, vegetarian meal.
Taco Salad
Black and Pinto Beans
Meat (optional)
Green Leaf Lettuce
Diced white onions
Diced green onions
Chopped cilantro
Diced tomatoes
Sour cream
Fresh salsa
Tortilla chips (Lime flavored tortilla chips are really awesome!)
Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Whole wheat bread
Provolone (or other) cheese
Thinly sliced red onions
Thinkly sliced tomatoes
Mayo
Spread Mayo on the OUTSIDE of bread. On the inside, layer the cheese, tomatoes and onion. Toast until cheese is melted.
"Belgian" Chicken and Rice
Two cooked, diced chicken breasts
Enough cooked rice to feed the family
Enough mixed vegetables to feed the family
diced white onions (sauteed, optional)
Grated cheddar cheese
Mix all together and serve
*My kids LOVE this meal. There are never leftovers.

This is my new one I made up that is rapidly becoming an old standby:
Mexican Mixup (C named it!)
Dice and sautee:
1 green pepper
1 medium onion
Put in crockpot with:
1 large can red enchilada sauce
2 reg cans black beans (drained & rinsed)
2 reg can corn (drained)
1-2 cups diced or shredded chicken (can be cooked or raw - I've used both)
Cook on high 4 hours or low 6-8.
Serve over rice topped with grated cheese, sour cream & sliced olives. I like to serve chips with it, too.
Other old standbys are spaghetti, soup & cornbread, stir fry and baked chicken with bottled BBQ sauce over it.- April 30, 2007 at 12:39 PM

My throw together meal is:
onion
meat, chopped, or ground and browned
frozen broccoli
au gratin potato mix
extra cheese packet from mac n' cheese.
I throw everything together with the milk and butter needed for the potatoes. It's a one-pan meal and my boys love it. Plus it's quick!- May 1, 2007 at 1:40 PM
