Yum Yum!

Well I must say cooking is not my favorite thing to do but I for some reason love to try new recipes. Oh and I love to eat!!! I especially love Mexican food and it is something I can never get enough of. So I thought I would share some recipes that my family loves and some that just me and my husband love.

Amish Breakfast Casserole

PREP TIME 15 Min
COOK TIME 35 Min
READY IN 50 Min

Serving size 12

INGREDIENTS
1 pound sliced bacon, diced or sausage (or go crazy and do both)
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
6 eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups small curd cottage cheese
1 1/4 cups shredded Swiss cheese

DIRECTIONS
In a large skillet, cook bacon and onion until bacon is crisp; drain. In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; stir in bacon mixture. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until set and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

I cooked this casserole for dinner one night and it is very filling.

Chili

2 1/2 ground chuck

1 med. onion chopped

1 large clove garlic chopped

1-6oz tomato sauce

2 level T. chili powder

1 tsp. cumin

1/3 tsp. oregano

1 T. salt

1 T. vinegar

1 qt. water

Brown ground chuck and drain; set aside. Saute onion, and garlic in large

skillet, stirring constantly. Put all ingredients together in 4 or 5 qt. cooker. Cook to desired

doneness. Freezes well.

Taco Casserole

1 lb ground beef

1 small onion chopped

2 cloves garlic chopped

1 cup water

1/2 cup thick & smooth taco sauce-med

4 oz diced green chilies

1 can sliced olives

1 package taco seasoning mix-regular

1 package 4.5oz taco shells Broken

2 cups shredded mild Cheddar cheese

1/4 cup chopped tomatoes (optional)

1/8 cup sliced green onion (optional)

Preheat oven 375 degrees cook beef, onion, garlic, until beef is brown, drain

stir in water taco seasoning mix, taco sauce, chilies, 1/4 cup olives, cook over low

heat for 3 to 4 min. Layer half broken taco shells on bottom of greased 12x8 inch

baking pan. Cover with half of meat sauce, sprinkle with 1 cup cheese (repeat shells)

Bake 20 25 min or until cheese is melted or bubbly. Top with remaining olives,

tomatoes and onions.

When making this I skip the casserole thing. I cook the meat mixture as directed and

then instead of taco shells I get chips and make a nacho or a dip and topped with

sour cream. YUM YUM!
