Velveeta Egg & Veggie Bake

I got this one from KraftFoods.com.

Ingredients:
1 cup each sliced fresh mushrooms and chopped broccoli
1 ready to use refrigerated pie crust
5 eggs
1/3 cup miracle whip dressing
1/3 cup milk
6 oz velveeta prepared cheese product, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
4 green onions sliced

Heat oven to 375

Cook mushrooms and broccoli in skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium heat 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; set aside.

Line 9 inch pie plate with crust; fold over edge. Beat eggs, dressing and milk in medium bowl with whisk until well blended. Stir in cooked vegetables, velveeta, and onions; pour into pie crust.

Bake 40 minutes or until center is set and top is golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

My Two Cents Worth:

• I used zucchini slices instead of mushrooms and it was great!
• I loved this one.
• It is great left-over and warmed up.
• Chris loved eating it for breakfast and thinks it would be great to put sausage in.
• YUMMMMY!

Taco Salad

I got this one from my wonderful Mom!

Ingredients:
1 lb hamburger meat
1/2 of a big bag of Doritos
1/2 head of lettuce
1/2 block of cheddar cheese shredded
1 can of whole corn (optional)
1 chopped tomato (optional)
Catalina dressing

Cut up lettuce and mix with cheese in a large bowl. Brown and drain meat and put in with lettuce cheese mixture. Mix in dressing to taste. Crush Doritos and add to salad. Add corn and tomato if desired. Mix in a little more dressing to taste. Serve immediately.

My 2 cents on this one:

• One of my favorites of all time.
• I use to ask for this for my birthday instead of cake!
• I use corn but no tomatoes.
• If you have left overs, refrigerate. When you want some more, add a little dressing and some more crushed Doritos to freshen it up.
  

Fiesta Chicken Pasta

I got this one from the Kraft Food and Family magazine.

Ingredients:
2 cups rotini pasta, uncooked
1 Tbsp oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
2 cups chopped red peppers
1/4 cup Zesty Italian Dressing
1 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Cook pasta as directed on package

Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken. Cook and stir about 6 minutes. Add peppers, dressing, and chili powder; cook 3 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, stirring frequently. Stir in salsa and sour cream.

Toss pasta with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with cheese.


My 2 cents on this one:

• This is one of my favorites that we make.
• You don't really need anything to go with it.
• I probably put lots more cheese on it and I stir in with the whole thing.
• I have used red and green peppers and both are yummy.
• When you put in the salsa and sour cream the mixture looks like something isn't right - trust it - it is RIGHT!! yummm!!
