West of the Pecos Pasta
I got this recipe from a family friend and dumbed it down for an easier dinner...a lot. If you ever want the more complex recipe, let me know! It reminds Ben of his mom's goulash. I've never had goulash, so I don't know, but either way we both love this!

- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 pkg of noodles
- Cheddar cheese
Directions:
- Melt butter, add meat, onion, pepper, chili powder, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Cook until brown
- Add soup, corn, tomatoes and simmer (it says to simmer 30 minutes. I simmer as long as I can before I get bored!)

Light King Ranch Chicken
I've tried a ton of King Ranch chicken recipes and this is by far our favorite. I don't use as much onion and bell pepper as it calls for, but here is the entire, untouched recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (I use 2 cream of chicken and omit the mushroom - gag!)
- 1 can Rotel
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 garlic powder
- 12 corn tortillas (I use the white ones - I like the texture better)
- Cheddar cheese
Directions:
- Saute onion and bell pepper until tender
- stir in chicken and next 6 ingredients, remove from heat
- tear tortillas into 1 inch pieces, layer half tortilla pieces in bottom of casserole dish coated with cooking spray. Top with half of chicken mixture and half of cheese. Repeat layers.
- Bake at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes or until bubbly.

Hashbrown Casserole
This recipe was adapted from the more traditional hashbrown casserole with cream of chicken soup and ground beef. I made this up one night when the pantry was bare and now it is a favorite!
Ingredients:
- Frozen hashbrown potatoes
- Ground sausage (think Jimmy Dean etc)
- Can of Baked Beans
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Directions:
- Layer hashbrowns in the bottom of a casserole dish - I usually do about an inch deep in a smaller casserole dish. You don't want to use a big 9x13 for this recipe or it will be too thin.
- Brown sausage and mix with baked beans
- Pour over hashbrowns and top with cheddar cheese
- Bake at 350 for 30 minutes

The Best Chicken Spaghetti
Like most of my recipes, this comes from a more complex recipe but I have "dumbed it down" to make it an easy week night dinner. My mom made this growing up and it is a family favorite! This is also an example of how most of my recipes have become non-recipes - meaning there isn't an exact amount of some ingredients - just "eyeball" it until it is seasoned to your liking, or the consistency that you like.
Ingredients:
- Cooked Chicken (on busy nights I use 2 cans of white meat, or 2-3 chicken breasts
- Can of Cream of Chicken
- Can of Chicken broth
- Velveeta
- 1lb. of Spaghetti
- Garlic Salt
- Pepper
Optional:
- Pimento
- Sauteed Onion
Directions:
- Cook Pasta according to directions
- If not using canned chicken, boil chicken breasts and then shred
- Combine full can of cream of chicken, pasta, chicken, about half the can of broth (this depends on the consistency you are going for), sliced velveeta (again, amount depends on how cheesy you like it - we use a lot!!).
- Mix it all together in a casserole dish and season to taste with garlic salt and pepper.
- Top with sliced velveeta
- Bake at 350 until bubbly or about 30 minutes.
The leftovers are almost better than the original - if you have any! Also, you can easily stretch this by playing with the amount of pasta and liquids and not necessarily adding any chicken if you need to feed a crowd.
