Something about having a new eater in the house has reignited the suppressed chef in me.
Plus the whole Pinterest obsession helps...
Each week, I try and make at least one new dish. Chicken is out for me right now. Cannot eat it. Which leaves....everything else.
I did try one chicken casserole last week. Epic fail. But thanks Carrie for helping me with the freezing the leftovers!
Saturday I tried one that was a huge success!
Chris found this funny but I googled the ingredients I had on hand and google sent me to the Food Network...
...and a Paula Dean recipe.
Look. If Paula makes it you can be assured of three things:
1. It will have butter. Lots.
2. It will tastes flippin' fabulous.
3. It will be full of gluten.
Needless to say, I almost scooted right on over to the second site. But hey, it's Saturday, let's live dangerously and get our hopes up.
And whatdya know. I could eat it!
I suspect that's because it was Wayne's recipe.
The ingredients were more than I had but I wasn't interested in making enough for 20. Just 8 would do.
Here's a link to the recipe.
I didn't have three cans of crushed tomatoes. I only have one can of diced tomatoes. BUT, I had a can of Rotel. I also didn't have green peppers so I figured the green chillies in the Rotel would do.
Yes, I realize green peppers and green chillies share only a color.
I could take the heat.
Should also confess that I used a whole heck of a lot more than one teaspoon of each seasoning. Except for the cumin. Not really enjoy "smokie" right now either.
After all was said and done, we had enough for two casseroles.
But more importantly, it was a huge hit! Not too spicy for Aubrey Kate. Or Chris for that matter.
And I have another to cook this week.
I must say, I'm not much of a casserole kinda girl. I like food in less of a mix-it-and-forget-it manner but this was really good.
(No pictures because I just can't seem to be able to stop and take pictures either during or after the dish is prepared.)
