This was great! Ben requested it be added to our "once every two weeks rotation". I didn't know he realized I did that! :)
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped (I left this out and didn't even notice the need for it)
- 1 envelope taco seasoning mix
- 1 small can corn with diced peppers (Mexi-corn)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 8-oz tub of cream cheese with chive and onion
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 12 oz. egg noodles, cooked and drained
Directions:
Cook onions and ground beef in large saute pan until beef is no longer pink. Drain beef. Add taco seasoning, water & corn to beef in pan and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add cream cheese & shredded cheddar and cook until heated through and cheese melts. Toss with cooked noodles.
This makes a ton!

Bourbon Chicken
This is another good one! On a message board I go to, it is commonly known as "crack chicken"!
Ingredients:
- Chicken cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed chili pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons apple juice
- 8 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1/4 cup water
- 8 teaspoon soy sauce
Directions:
- Mix everything but the chicken.
- Heat oil in large skillet and add chicken. Cook until lightly browned
- Remove chicken
- Heat the sauce in the pan over medium heat
- Add chicken and bring to a hard boil
- Reduce heat and simmer fro 15-20 minutes.
This is good over rice, but we usually just serve with sides like mashed potatoes (to soak up the rest of the sauce). This has a good kick to it!
