Two renditions of the same recipe: Pseudo Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole OR Turkey Stuffing Casserole

Forgive me. It has been a month of illness. But I am now back in the kitchen with an easy peasy casserole to share with you! (Recipe courtesy of recipe swap for Enrichment night.)

Pseudo Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole


2 chicken breasts, microwaved and cubed
Leftover ham, cubed
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2-3/4 can milk
1 box Stove Top chicken stuffing
Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Layer chicken and ham cubes in 9x13 dish. Layer on some mozzarella cheese. Mix together soup, milk, and stuffing in bowl. Spoon onto ham, chicken, and cheese. Layer on some more mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes until bubbly and warm. Set the table and proceed to snarf it down!

Alternate rendition: use cubed turkey instead of ham and chicken and use cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of chicken soup. Add in some corn and green beans or other good sounding veggies as well. Follow all other directions and viola! I have no name for it yet though, oh well. Turkey stuffing casserole?

Chicken Divine Alternative Rock #1


Please forgive me for neglecting my duties. I'm just not a very good blogger. I can still have an E for effort, right? I introduce to you another tasty family casserole. I've had to adapt Hunnybun's family favorite Chicken Divine as we have recently discovered that Goober is allergic to eggs (nasty hives) and therefore must avoid them for two years, per pediatrician's advice, before she can try them again. Let's hope she can grow out of the allergy otherwise she'll miss out on a lot of tasty things in life such as cookies, cake, brownies, scrambled eggs, etc. That also means avoiding some salad dressings like Mayonnaise. Oh dear, mayonnaise is in daddy's Chicken Divine! Well, have no fear, we'll just oust from the recipe! I also experimented with a few other changes. We were also out of broccoli, the usually main and really only veggie in the dish. Have no fear, we'll just use some other veggies like oh, a can of corn and a can of green beans! (I got the idea to use green beans from my good friend and upstairs neighbor!)

2 cups cooked rice
1-2 chicken boobies, cut up and cooked (sorry, old habit from my Aunt Jane)
2 cans cream of chicken soup
2 large dollops of sour cream (hehe, I love the word 'dollop'!)
A splash or two of milk
Handful or two of cheese
1 can corn
1 can green beans
Curry powder (daddy would be heartbroken if forgotten)
Mrs. dash (addicting stuff)
Lemon pepper (also addictive)
Any other seasonings you see fit to use
More cheese

Layer the cooked rice into a 9x13 pan. Mix together soup, sour cream, milk, cheese, veggies, seasonings, and chicken in a bowl and spread over rice. Sprinkle a little more cheese on top (mustn't forget or else I'll be heartbroken). Warm in oven at 350 degrees until bubbly and cheese is gooey. Now devour the divine stuff!

P.S. I'm thinking about testing out a cake that substitutes bananas for eggs. I'll let you know how that goes. Course, I also promised you a chocolate chip cookie recipe. I must be punished. Guess that means I need to make them again soon.

Mom's Cheesy Potatoes

Alright, I'm back! Especially since I know I have at least one reader! (Comment to let me know if I have more.) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! December is just such a crazy month with anniversaries, birthdays galore, and multiple family Christmas celebrations. And I survived it all this past year, whew! So please forgive me for slacking. I'm not giving up. I'm sure I've got plenty of recipes and sewing stuff to go to the moon and back, maybe even to Pluto!

So to appease you and buy back your attention and love, I shall share with you my favorite food - Cheesy Potatoes! I could eat these almost everyday (but definitely shouldn't). Take head to always make a 9x13 pan or more; never less or you'll regret it forever. They can be a side dish or main dish.

Mom's Cheesy Potatoes

1 can cream of chicken soup
1 pint sour cream
2-3 cups shredded cheese
green onions, sliced finely (optional, for color)
1 bag frozen hashbrowns (shredded or cubed)
Leftover ham, cubed (optional)

Mix it all together in a large bowl and spread into a 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour until it's all bubbly and you can't control your drooling any longer.

Leave me a comment if you have any requests for certain recipes and I'll see what I can do!
