Provided by Karen From Colorado

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup green pepper, diced
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
2 cups cooked chicken or 2 cups cooked turkey
1 (4 ounce) can green chili peppers, chopped
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
1/4-1/2 cup flour (I use 1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese
12 (8 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan cook onion and green pepper in the 2 tablespoons of butter until tender.
  • Combine onion mixture in a bowl with chopped chicken and green chili peppers.
  • Set aside.
  • For sauce, in the same pan melt 3 tablespoons butter.
  • Stir in flour, coriander and salt.
  • Stir in chicken broth all at once.
  • Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in sour cream and 1/2 cup of the cheese.
  • Stir 1/2 cup of the sauce into the chicken mixture.
  • Fill each tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture.
  • Roll up and arrange in a 13x19x2 baking dish.
  • Pour remaining sauce over and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered in a 350 oven about 25 minutes or until bubbly.
  • Can be made ahead of time and frozen. Place a large sheet of heavy duty foil in your baking dish with enough foil over the end to fold up and over the frozen casserole. Make the casserole up until you are ready to bake it. Freeze it solid. Remove frozen casserole from your dish and encase in the excess foil for storage. This frees up the dish for other meals. When you wish to heat it, remove foil from the still frozen casserole, and place back into the dish that you froze it in initially to thaw; bake as directed.

MEXICAN PARTY CASSEROLE



Mexican Party Casserole image

This casserole is one of my favorite potluck contributions, as it's easy to make lots of it fast, and folks love it.

Provided by Geri by the Sea

Categories     Beans

Time 1h

Yield 2 pans, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

48 ounces refried beans
20 ounces tortilla chips
1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 (15 ounce) can olives (black)
1 (15 ounce) can corn
1 package cherry tomatoes
2 yellow bell peppers (or any color really)
32 ounces mild salsa
3 avocados (black skinned kind, ripe)

Steps:

  • Equipment: 2 deep lasagne pans.
  • On the bottom of each pan, spread a layer or two of chips, flattening as needed.
  • I used about 5 oz of the chips in each pan.
  • Drop spoonfuls of refried beans atop the chips layer, using 16 oz in each pan.
  • Once you've got all of the spoonful drops down, use the back of the spoon to spread the refried beans around more evenly.
  • Pour 8 oz salsa over each pan, and spread about.
  • Over each pan, crumble 2.5 oz of chips.
  • Layer 7.5 oz of the corn in each pan.
  • Chop up the bell peppers, and layer them evenly in the 2 pans.
  • Chop up the avocadoes and olives, and layer them evenly in the pans.
  • Chop up the cilantro, and sprinkle it over the pans.
  • Using the remaining refried beans, drop spoonfuls atop the pans, and spread them around.
  • (They won't cover the whole surface; that's ok).
  • Spread the remaining salsa in a thin layer across the top of each pan.
  • Chop the cherry tomatoes, and sprinkle those over the top of each pan.
  • Crumble the rest of the chips, and sprinkle those over the top.
  • Bake at 450 degrees for about 1/2 hour, maybe more (keep an eye on it after the first 20 minutes as ovens can vary); I turn the oven off once the top layer of chips is lightly browned and a forkful swiped out of the bottom of the pan is hot.
  • (Note- Don't worry too much about the quantities of ingredients; this is not a recipe where precision matters. If you have more or less of something, it'll still taste good).
  • Enjoy!

THE BOMB SAUSAGE EGG CASSEROLE WITH SECRET PARTY INGREDIENTS



The Bomb Sausage Egg Casserole With Secret Party Ingredients image

This riff on the sausage/egg casserole was born tonight and caused us to fall off our chairs. Caught lightning in a bottle with this so will notate exactly what I did. NOTE: there are many recipes with a number of these basic ingredients. Since there were a few new elements, significantly varied portions and particular techniques used, I'm listing it as a separate recipe.

Provided by kchrisfox

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 eggs
3/4 lb mild Italian sausage
2/3 cup skim milk
1/3 cup half-and-half cream
2 pieces brownberry's oatnut bread, cubed (lightly toasted)
1/3 large white onion, chopped
2 large fresh garlic cloves, crushed in a press
4 -6 leaves fresh basil
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt
fresh crushed black pepper
1/3 teaspoon dried mustard
paprika

Steps:

  • -preheat oven to 360.
  • two parts to this prep; the sausage mix prep and the egg mix prep.
  • THE SAUSAGE MIX.
  • -break sausage into small pieces and begin to brown in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, never more than medium heat.
  • -after about five minutes, push sausage to one side.
  • -add chopped onion and crushed garlic to other side of pan; add basil leaves, torn into small, dime-size pieces; place this side of the pan directly over the heat to start the onions on their way. Keep it moving and keep heat low so the garlic doesn't burn.
  • -add some fresh crushed black pepper and dashes of kosher salt.
  • -once onions start to soften and brown a bit, mix in with sausage.
  • -continue to mix and modulate heat from medium to low, careful not to burn the meat, until sausage is brown. Turn off heat.
  • THE EGG MIX.
  • -beat the five eggs.
  • -add milk and half & half.
  • -add lightly toasted and cubed Brownberry's Oatnut bread [if you don't have this, what you should know is it's full-bodied and has a slight sweetness, as well as the obvious texture from, well -- oats and nuts.this is a major flavor/texture secret in the final tasting].
  • -add 2/3 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  • -add dried mustard and some more pepper.
  • COMBINING.
  • -2tsp of olive oil rubbed into bottom/sides of 2 inch deep/9 inch diameter ceramic baking dish.
  • -sausage mixture into bottom of dish.
  • -add egg mixture over the top.
  • -spread remaining 1/3 cup cheddar cheese over the top.
  • -more crushed black pepper and and couple dashes of paprika dusted over the top.
  • ---***** I forgot to add a little baking powder to this to keep the egg fluffy. Will add a teaspoon next time******.
  • BAKE.
  • -45 minutes at 360 degrees, fork test in center comes out clean.
  • -let set for 5 minutes and serve!
  • You're welcome!

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta: Use a short pasta like penne, macaroni, or rotini. These pastas hold the sauce well and are easy to eat.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking the pasta until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold the sauce as well.
  • Don't rinse the pasta: Rinsing the pasta will remove the starch, which helps the sauce stick to the pasta. If you must rinse the pasta, do so briefly with cold water.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is the star of the show in a pasta casserole. Choose a sauce that is flavorful and has a good consistency. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Add mix-ins: Mix-ins like cooked chicken, vegetables, or cheese can add extra flavor and texture to your pasta casserole. Be creative and use whatever you have on hand.
  • Top with cheese: A layer of cheese on top of the pasta casserole will help to brown the top and add a cheesy flavor. You can use any type of cheese you like, but a good melting cheese like cheddar or mozzarella is a good choice.
  • Bake until bubbly: Bake the pasta casserole until it is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
  • Let it rest: Let the pasta casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the casserole to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Pasta casseroles are a delicious and easy way to feed a crowd. They are perfect for potlucks, parties, or weeknight dinners. With so many different variations, there is a pasta casserole recipe for everyone. So next time you need a quick and easy meal, give one of these recipes a try.
