Onion Parmesan Roasted Red Potatoes

I want to thank the Dancing Cook for this recipe. I think I could have made 10lbs of these potatoes and we still wouldn’t have had enough. The flavor is shocking to your tongue. Unless you know better you are not expecting theses potatoes to have such a great taste. This was voted a true winner in our house. Next time I think I would cook them even longer than suggested to give them a nice deep brown color and give them even more flavor and maybe a little bit of a crispiness. If you are looking for a great potato side dish this is the one!! If you have a recipe you would like to have featured email me at colie@colieskitchen.com

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs small red potatoes, sliced 1/2 inch thick
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 envelope dry onion soup mix (Lipton works great!!)
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large plastic bag, seal and shake until well coated.
  2. Empty bag into a 13×9 dish, cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes
  3. Uncover and bake 15 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender.

Beverly Hills Chicken Casserole

You know when you think of Beverly Hills you think of casseroles right? Hahahhaha! The name comes from me thinking tonight… GOSH if I was living in Beverly Hills right now someone else would be cooking my dinner. Then I laughed because they probably don’t eat a lot of casseroles in Beverly Hills. I came up with this recipe when I needed something quick to put together. I took a recipe from Stovetop and reinvented it with my own spin. This is such an EASY recipe and one that is very well rounded. You have your chicken, vegetables, and a starch all in one. Dinner in one dish is my kind of dinner during the week. The flavor is excellent and it comes out of the over nice. Everyone found this recipe to be a hit… a shocking occurrence in our house. When I roast a chicken, I always keep the leftover chicken in zip bags in the freezer. When it comes to making a recipe like this, I just simply pull the chicken out and defrosting it. You can also easily substitute fresh chicken for a drained can of chicken breast. This is not the prettiest meal ever, but it taste great.

Beef ‘n’ Bean Enchiladas

This was a really good recipe. Everyone like it, but not my husband. He said it had a “weird” texture. The rest of us thought it was really good. First off, the flavor is unique unlike anything I had tried in the past. I love the fact that it comes together easy and makes a nice presentation. My only complaint is that all of my corn tortillas were tearing as I was rolling the enchiladas. I ended up heating up a little oil and letting them soften before I rolled them. Looking back, I do not think I would do that again. In truth, the sauce is going to cover the tortillas anyway so no reason to fret over it. This is also a great way to use up left over taco meat. When I have left over taco meat, I stick it in the freezer and find something else to do with it. This recipe is the perfect opportunity to use it. If you have any recipes you would like to have featured please email me at colie@colieskitchen.com.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1-1/2 cups milk
  • 1 can (10 ounces) enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained
  • 3/4 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 can (9 ounces) bean dip
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large tomato, seeded and diced
  • 9 white or yellow corn tortillas (6 inches), warmed

Directions

  1. In a 1-qt. microwave-safe bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, paprika, milk and enchilada sauce until smooth. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1-1/2 minutes; stir. Cook 3-4 minutes longer or until thickened, stirring every minute. Stir in cheese and olives; set aside.
  2. Place beef and onion in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes or until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the bean dip, chilies, pepper and remaining salt.
  3. Spoon about 1/3 cup meat mixture and 1 tablespoon of diced tomato down the center of each tortilla; roll up tightly.
  4. Place enchiladas seam side down in an ungreased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Top with sauce. Bake on 350 for 40-45 minutes.
