Pioneer Woman Recipes that I LOVE!!!
I cannot talk about these recipes near as well as The Pioneer Woman can.
1. The Best Lasagna - I've tried a ton of recipes and have never found one that I loved. This one is perfect, and I don't even like cottage cheese!

2. Ranch Chicken - YUMMY!! We ate these as a sandwich. A good twist on a classic!

Southwest Taco Stroganoff
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!

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!

Crockpot Chicken Marinara
I think this is the easiest recipe ever and it is one of Finley's absolute favorites.
Ingredients:
- 2-3 frozen chicken breasts
- Jar of Spaghetti Sauce
- 1lb of any shape of pasta
Directions:
- Dump the sauce and chicken in the crockpot
- Cook on low 6-8 hours (or more, it won't hurt)
- Shred the chicken and cook for a little while longer
- Serve over noodles.
Didn't I say this was easy?? You could also serve the meat and sauce on buns for sandwiches with cheese etc.

Broccoli Cheese Chicken
This is one of our favorites. In fact, it is one of the few meals that Ben makes sure there are leftovers for his lunch the next day!
Ingredients:
- 2-3 chicken breast
- 14oz frozen broccoli florets
- Can of broccoli cheese soup
- 1/2 Can of cream of chicken soup
- Milk (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup)
- egg noodles
- Lemon Pepper
- Salt
- Pepper
Directions:
- Cook noodles
- Season chicken with lemon pepper and salt and cook in bite sized pieces in a skillet
- Once browned and almost cooked through, add broccoli, broccoli cheese soup, cream of chicken, milk and season with pepper
- Stir together and cover, stirring occassionally - add more milk if it is too thick for you, but wait until it all comes together - the liquid from the broccoli helps thin it out.
- Simmer until the broccoli is cooked through but still crunchy and serve over noodles.
We could eat this once a week!

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.
