I Eat Dinner 7 Nights A Week.

Well, I'm making a Roast in the crock pot... but you might like the side dish I'm making.

It's kinda like twice baked potatoes but easier than putting back in the shell and more like a casserole.

Make a couple baked potates, then cut in half and scoop out the insides.

Put potatoes chunks in a bowl (cut to bite size pieces if not already) add a bunch of shreaded cheedar cheese, cut up ham, and enough sour cream to make it mix good.

Put mixture in a casserole dish and sprinkle with extra cheese. Put in oven long enough to melt the cheese, (usually good when the cheese just begins to get toasted looking.)

sorry no amounts or temperatures, I usually just wing it and it turns out great.

1 cup uncooked white rice

1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup

1 7/8 cups water

1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Spread rice in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Rinse chicken and pat dry; arrange chicken pieces on top of rice.

Mix soup and water together and pour over chicken and rice. Sprinkle dry onion soup mix on top. Cover and seal TIGHTLY with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Enjoy!

Black Bean Salad

Serves 6

2-15oz cans black beans

1-15oz can corn

2 roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped

1 handful of cilantro, chopped

¼ onion chopped

1 c yellow or green peppers (for color),

chopped

salt to taste

a splash of balsamic vinegar

Mix all together. You can serve it right away,

Or let the flavors meld by refrigerating it.

It lasts for a while so you can make it ahead

Of time and feel free to substitute different

Flavors like garlic or basil or different types of beans.

I like chicken thighs, brown them in some oil and set aside. Ad chopped onions and peppers to the pan and lightly fry. Add some mushrooms and fry til golden, add a little chopped garlic. Return the chicken to the pan, add some cider to cover the meat and veg, season with salt and pepper. Oven bake for around 2 hours, then you could stir in some creme fraiche or double cream before stirring

Hot dogs, potatoes, onions, and cheese. pour some milk on it . Really good as a casserole. My kids loved it.
