My husband loves Mexican dishes, but I don’t eat tomatoes, peppers or onions. Due to my aversion to these vegetables, the range of Mexican dishes that I can make (and eat) is limited. When I realized that we had not had a Mexican night in quite a while, I wondered what simple dish I could make besides the common place taco or quesadilla meal. I pulled some items together from my pantry and I ended up with a very filling, simple and scrumptious meal. It hit the spot for both my husband and I.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground meat (cooked)
- 1 cup brown rice (cooked)
- 1 5 oz package of Mahatma Saffron Yellow rice (cooked)
- 2 10 oz cans of enchilada sauce
- 2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese
Mix first 4 ingredients together and top with shredded cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Creamy Chicken and Rice Casserole

I had half of a rotisserie chicken left over and a few other things that I needed to use up in my kitchen, so I threw them all together and came up with a deliciously creamy casserole. This is probably similar to many traditional chicken and rice recipes, except I added some mixed veggies with. I always try to find a way to add vegetables in casseroles, so that I can more justify it being a one dish meal.
Ingredients
- half rotisserie chicken ( about 1.5 cups)
- 1.5 cups of cooked brown rice
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 1 small can of cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese
Mix the first five ingredients together in a 2 quart casserole dish and top with cheese. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until heated through.
Zesty Cheeseburger Macaroni

One of my favorite things to cook with is Italian dressing however, if you put it on a salad and set it in front of me I would politely pick through it all the while wanting to turn up my nose and push it away. I like Ranch or Caesar on my salads, but on chicken,shrimp, potatoes, casseroles, and pastas I will take Italian dressing please! Lots of Italian dressing. 
So, today I am sharing a casserole dish that is one of my favorite with Italian dressing. This recipe is just the kind of hearty simple meal that I love to make as the weather turns cold. The cheesy Italian mix of this dish is both unexpected and familiar.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (cooked and drained)
- 1 14oz package of Kraft deluxe Mac and cheese
- 16 oz frozen mixed vegetables
- 3/4 cups of milk
- 1/2 cup Italian dressing
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese
Directions:
- Boil noodles and drain.
- Add cheese sauce from kraft kit and veggies to noodles and mix.
- Add Italian dressing, milk, ground beef, and 1 cup cheddar cheese and mix.
- Cook in 2 qt casserole dish for 3o minutes at 375°. Top with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and bake for until cheese is melted.
