Chicken Stuffing Bake





This is a recipe my mom made that I really like from when I was younger. I never actually got her exact recipe, but I took the basics of her recipe and created this one. It's pretty quick and easy, and very flavorful and good.

Chicken Stuffing Bake

Ingredients
1 box chicken flavored Stove Top stuffing mix
½ cup water
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
½ cup milk
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper

Directions
Pour stuffing mix into a bowl, then moisten with the water. Set aside. Mix together cream of chicken soup, sour cream, milk, and seasonings. Spread this mixture across the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Lay chicken breasts on top of the spread out mixture. Top with stuffing mix. Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.

Beef Enchiladas


Beef Enchiladas

Ingredients
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 tsp. ground cumin
1/
4 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
1
lb. ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
12 medium tortillas
 

2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
Desired toppings

Directions
In a medium saucepan, heat oil, then add tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Stir in water. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until hot. Do not boil. Remove from heat and set aside. In a separate skillet over medium-high heat, brown the beef, then drain. Add the onion and green pepper and cook until the onion is translucent (3 to 5 minutes). Moisten with half of the sauce. (The other half of the sauce will be used to top the enchiladas). Preheat oven to 400°F Begin filling tortillas with the beef mixture. As each one is filled, roll it tightly and place seam-side down in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Top enchiladas with remaining sauce, then cheese. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until cheese is bubbling, about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly, then serve.
I topped mine with lettuce, sour cream, and tomatoes, but you can serve as is or choose whatever toppings you like.
