Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

Tonight Sara, Michelle, and I made dinner for the missionaries we have in our area. We had enchiladas, rice, beans, guacamole, chips, and cake balls :)

This is from the website, we didn't take any pictures of our actual meal :(

The recipe we used for the enchiladas is from http://www.kevinandamanda.com/recipes/dinner/creamy-chicken-enchiladas.html  and were delicious! We used Monterey Jack/Colby cheese mix (because that's all we could find) and it was still good. Basically it just made ours more yellow than their picture. We doubled the recipe as well and had plenty to go around and even a few left over. It says it makes 8, but when we doubled it we got more than 16. Plus we made skinnier enchiladas than what their website shows. But they were amazing! :)

We made just normal brown rice, but added salsa (w/ lime and cilantros) to it for flavor. And we just heated up some refried beans. For the guacamole Sara blended together avocados, rotel, lime juice, and some onion power and it turned out really good as well!

And then I made my classic cake balls; a combo of dipped and drizzled :) I used a Devil's Food Cake mix, milk chocolate frosting, and chocolate almond bark (I've been using Kroger's brand and it works just as well as actual almond bark). They were a hit!

A delicious meal and a fun night! With a LOT of clean up afterwards haha. A marvelous success, I would definitely make them again.

Bow Tie Beef Skillet

Another recipe from Taste of Home: Simple & Delicious! Really easy to make. Has ground beef, bow tie noodles, green peppers, yellow squash, tomatoes, and parmesan cheese :)

I only used two of the suggested three squashes and I think the squash outnumbers any other ingredient, but it is a delicious meal.

Southwestern Skillet Burgers

Using the Taste of Home: Simple and Delicious Cookbook, I made Southwestern Skillet Burgers today. Really easy, and turned out delicious!

I just scooped it into a bowl.

It consists of ground beef with bread crumbs mixed in, making patties and browning them in a skillet. Remove them and add a can of diced tomatoes w/ onions and a can of condensed beans and bacon soup, then return the patties. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for ten minutes till the burgers are fully cooked. At the end, add some shredded cheese to the tops and allow it to melt. I forgot to add taco seasoning to the burgers, but it still tasted fine because of the beans. It asks for 2 pounds of ground beef, but I didn't have enough space in my skillet to use all of it and I made 6 patties. Left overs! :) Hopefully it tastes just as good after being refrigerated and reheated.
