Simple Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas
Ingredients
  • 1 Lb ground chicken
  • 2 3/4 cups chunky salsa divided
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 12 6 inch flour tortillas
Instructions
  1. In large skillet, brown the chicken. Add 1/2 cup each of the salsa and cheese, and mix well.
  2. Spread 1/2 cup of the remaining salsa onto the bottom of 9x13" baking dish.
  3. Spoon 1/4 cup of the meat mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas and place, seam sides down, in the baking dish. Top with the remaining salsa and cheese.
  4. Bake in preheated 350F oven for 20 minutes or until heated through.

Tips and Tidbits

This same recipe can be modified with ground beef instead of the ground chicken. Ground turkey is also an option.

In addition to the salsa you can add some enchilada sauce. Reduce the salsa by the amount of sauce you add.

You might want to add some Mexican seasonings to the salsa or sauce for more flavor.

Patti Labelle’s Macaroni and Cheese

Patti Labelle's Macaroni and Cheese

Be sure to Like Foodgasm Recipes on Facebook and Foodgasm on Pinterest for more great recipes.

I have been making macaroni and Cheese casseroles for a long, long time! This is the absolute best recipe I have ever come across! Everybody I’ve served it to enjoyed it!

You just can’t go wrong with this recipe!!

This a slight variation of one that came off of the “Good Morning America” website after Patti cooked it on the show.

What a great combination of cheeses! Very rich and full of flavor. You’ve just gotta’ give this recipe a try!

Patti Labelle’s Macaroni and Cheese

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 lb macaroni
8 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup muenster cheese, shredded
1/2 cup mild cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
2 cups half-and-half
8 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350F.

Lightly butter a deep 2 1/2 quart baking dish.

Fill a large pot with water and bring to a rapid boil. Add the macaroni and the 1 Tbsp oil. Cook for 7 minutes, or until somewhat tender. Drain well, and return to the pot.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the 8 Tbsp of the butter. Stir into macaroni.

In a large bowl, combine all of the shredded cheeses.

To the macaroni, add 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheeses, half and half, the cubed cheese and the eggs, and the seasoned salt and pepper.

Transfer to the prepared casserole dish, and top with the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Dot with the remaining 1 Tbsp of butter.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and bubbly.

Serve hot.

Tips and Tidbits

Add some seasoned bread crumbs on the top for a crunchy crust. This is just my personal preference but I think it adds to the dish.

Be sure your macaroni is super al dente in order to still be able to absorb the moisture of the ingredients.

Instead of buying all those different cheeses you can use 2 cups Mexican cheese blend and the Velveeta.

You can also use canned evaporated milk in place of half and half without much loss in flavor.

No-Bake Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Corn Flake Bars

No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Corn Flake Bars

My friends love this chocolate peanut butter concoction. I make it quite often for get togethers and it’s a must for couchgatin’. Tastes like a crispy crunch bar and is very easy to make.

Kiddies love these too. In fact this would be a good recipe to make with kids helping as it is really quick so they won’t loose interest.

This recipe is what would happen if a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup and a Butterfinger had a baby!

No-Bake Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Corn Flake Bars

Ingredients
3 cups corn flakes, crushed
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup white corn syrup
6 ounces chocolate chips

Directions

Heat the peanut butter, sugar and corn syrup over low heat until the sugar is melted and everything is smooth. Crush the corn flakes and stir them in.

Pat the mixture into a 8×8 lightly greased pan and smooth out with a buttered greased spatula . (I line my pan with foil and then lightly spray it. When it is time to cut them, the foil lifts right out.).

Melt the chocolate chips over low heat or in the microwave and spread over the top. Spread evenly with a spatula. Cool until firm.

Tips and Tidbits

Experiment with different cereals. Rice Krispies would be good. I think Honey Nut Cheerios would be too.

You can also use other chip flavors. Chocolate is my favorite but butterscotch chips sound good.

When you spread the chocolate mixture on  top sprinkle with some mini-chocolate chips for some crunch and even more chocolate flavor.

Have fun! Play with the recipe and make it your own!

Fall off the Bone Ribs – 3-Step Easy!

The “three steps” to this 3-Step Fall off the Bone Ribs are browning the ribs, then with the sauce, and then covering with foil and forgetting about them.

 

The ingredient amounts are completely flexible and are all done to personal taste.

Don’t be afraid of the long list of directions, this is really easy.

These ribs are easy, tasty, melt in the mouth tender and… unforgettable. The first time I made these for friends there was not one piece left for me to gnaw on later.

This recipe should come with a warning because the smell will drive you crazy while they are cooking!

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Fall Off The Bone Ribs
Servings: 6
Calories: 395 kcal
Ingredients
  • 2 racks beef ribs or pork ribs
  • 2 teaspoons salt or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons pepper or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Season-All salt or to taste
  • 2 cups barbecue sauce your favorite kind
Instructions

  1. Generously season both sides of the ribs with salt, pepper, and Season-All.

  2. Line a cookie sheet (with a lip on all sides) with heavy-duty foil. Spray foil with cooking spray lightly.

  3. Put the ribs in 350F degree oven for approximately 20 minutes, until the meat starts to brown on both sides, flipping as needed.

  4. Brush on your favorite BBQ sauce (both sides of ribs) and put back in the 350-degree oven until the BBQ sauce starts to caramelize but not burn, approximately 20 minutes. Flip them halfway through.

  5. Once the sauce is caramelized and cooked into the meat add another good amount of sauce to the tops of the ribs. Try not to let too much sauce fall to the foil, but it's okay if some gets on it.

  6. With the top of ribs facing up, cover with a low-tented aluminum foil (tented just enough to not let it touch the tops of the ribs) and seal ALL sides TIGHTLY by curling foil under the lip or under the cookie sheet itself. The goal is to not let the steam out as it cooks.

  7. Turn the oven down to 250F. This is very important to keep the sauce from burning!

  8. Put the ribs back in at 250 degrees and set a timer for approx 2 hours.

  9. After 2 hours check the ribs by poking with a fork. The meat should easily come off the bone. If not return to the oven and check again in 20 minutes.

 

Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!

Tips and Tidbits For These Fall Off The Bones Ribs

There is a similar recipe, but it is the opposite cooking-wise.

The ribs are seasoned with your favorite rub, placed on thick sweet onion slices, sealed in foil and steamed at 275 for 2 hours.

Then the foil is removed, the sauce is added and the ribs are browned at 350 for 20 minutes each side. Allow them to rest covered on the board for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
