Cheesy Potato Casserole

Cheesy Potato Casserole

One half of a 2 lb bag of frozen hash browns (the square kind)
1/2+ cup white onion, chopped
2+ (overflowing) cups of chopped green and red peppers (about one of each)
1 can cream of chicken soup
2+ cups shredded cheddar cheese
8 ounces sour cream
1 can of chicken or fresh chicken breast cut up into bite size pieces

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
Pour the casserole into the dish and spread evenly in the pan.
Bake for 35 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
Enjoy!

Note: Next time we want to use fresh chicken and more potatoes...maybe 1 c. more. Also, we want to saute the chicken, peppers and onions together before baking with creole, cumin, and black pepper.  Will probably take less time to cook  too.

Original recipe

Meatballs

I've been craving meatballs lately and we finally got around to making some! They were delicious! 

Ingredients:

1 cup onion chopped

1/2 green bell pepper chopped

1/2 red bell pepper chopped

1 T. Butter

1 T. Teriyaki soy sauce

1 can of diced tomatoes

2 T. Parmesan cheese

1 t. Italian seasoning

1 t. Minced garlic 

1/4 t. Celery seed

1 T brown sugar

1 t. Better than boulloin chicken flavor

40 frozen meatballs (or enough to cover large sauce pan)

1-24 oz jar of pasta sauce (we used Classico four cheese) 

Directions: 

Sauté the peppers, garlic, and onion in the butter, soy sauce, and seasonings until they are soft. Add the tomatoes as cook until the onions are red/pink. Add the Parmesan cheese. Then add the sauce and meatballs. Add a little water if it's too thick or if you want to make sure it cooks down and incorporates the flavors a bit more. Bon appetit! 

Serve on hoagie rolls or over spaghetti.  Sorry for the lame photo. We were hungry!
