Chicken and Rice casserole

One of my local grocery stores had a killer deal on chicken this past week. So, I filled up the freezer. Sunday was a bit blustery, so I decided to make use of some of it.

Chicken and Rice

4 chicken breasts
16 oz white rice
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
milk

I boiled the chicken breasts until done and then cut them up into bite sized pieces. When the chicken was almost done I cooked the rice and separately, mixed one can of milk with the mushroom soup and heated it up.

When everything was heated through I mixed the rice and soup together in a big bowl and added the chicken. This was my cheater way of doing it instead of baking it. I served it with vegetables and salad.

A quick and easy meal for a cold day.

Chili

I will admit that the secret to most of my recipes is that I don't usually use a recipe. Hence, my chili recipe. I just dump stuff in a stock pot and go, but this time I wrote down what I did.

Chili

.81 lb stew meat
1.78 lb ground beef
1 40 oz. can dark red kidney beans
2 40 oz cans light red kidney beans
2 28 oz cans crushed tomatoes
1 green pepper
1 medium onion
minced garlic
chili seasoning
montreal steak seasoning

I browned the stew meat and ground beef with minced garlic. I love garlic and I probably used at least 2 tbl of garlic in the meat. I also seasoned the meat with chili seasoning, about half a packet, and about a tbl of steak seasoning. When the meat was almost done, I added the pepper and onion and sauteed until done.

I mixed the rest of the ingredients in a stock pot and added the beef mixture. Bring to a boil and then simmer for a couple hours. I served the chili with cornbread (Jiffy Mix).

For some reason Blogger is not uploading pics for me tonight, but I will post the pics soon.
