  • 1 jar dill pickle spears

Chili Relleno Casserole – Mexican Style

Chili Relleno Casserole is a Mexican-style casserole made with hamburger and green chile peppers. It produces a much simpler version of chile rellenos, which are simply stuffed chile peppers.

This may not be authentic Mexican, and may not taste exactly like chili rellenos, but it’s so darned good and I will continue making it again and again!

I like to serve it with Spanish rice and refried beans.

Slow Cooker Meatballs and Marinara

This Slow Cooker Meatballs and Marinara is an easy slow cooker recipe for a great hot meal at the end of the day.

Slow Cooker Meatballs and Marinara

I’ve been told that my heritage is Scottish/Irish but I believe there has to be some Italian in there somewhere because I love Italian food so much!

Spaghetti and meatballs are an entree that I serve often with just a side salad and some crusty Italian bread.

This slow cooker version is my go-to recipe for meatballs. I use a store bought Marinara sauce that I enhance just a bit.

You can get good meat balls in an Italian restaurant but why pay those prices when you can make the exact same dish in the comfort of your own kitchen?

One thing to note-this is more or less a Basic recipe that can be added to, or modified according to the tastes of those you are cooking for.

Cheesy Smoked Sausage Potato Casserole

Believe me, I’ve had my share of bland and even terrible casseroles. This Cheesy Smoked Sausage Potato Casserole is not one of them.

The smoked sausage gives a great smoky flavor to the potatoes and the creamy cheese adds texture that is just pleasing.

This is also a very economical dish. Perfect family fare without a lot of cost.

It can serve as a complete meal with just a salad and some crunchy bread and would feed at least 4 very hungry people that way.

But add a couple of sides like green beans and corn and it’ll feed at least 6 if not more.

Saltine Crusted Chicken Fingers

Saltine Crusted Chicken Fingers are so simple and so delicious you would not believe it. The crackers work out perfectly. So much better for the crunch factor than plain flour or even bread crumbs.

The base of the recipe is very simple.

One thing I would like to say is that if you have the time let them marinate overnight. The flavor is so much better that way.

Good flavor, good crunch. That’s what a chicken finger should be!
