Hot Dish

  I have watched Girl on the Farm make hot dish before.  This is my first time making or eating one. 1 lb ground beef 1 diced onion 1 can corn, drained 1 can diced tomatoes with green chili, not drained 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed 2 cups cheddar cheese 1 cup sour cream frozen tater tots 1 packet taco seasoning dried parsley for color In a hot pan brown the ground beef with diced onions and then drain.  Return to pan and stir in seasoning, corn, beans, diced tomatoes, 1 cup of cheese, 1 cup sour cream.  When everything is combined, add to a greased casserole dish.  Top with the last cup of cheese and tater tots.  Bake in oven at 425 until tots are golden brown.  Sprinkle parsley for color after baking. This could have used a green veggies like peas, but Adam doesn't like them!  I didn't have canned green beans on hand.  The dish was a hit and made good leftovers.

Slow Cooker Pot Roast with Mashed Potatoes

  We spent a week in Pigeon Forge TN.  It was amazing and I'm dying to go back.  We had some good pot roast at Dollywood's Aunt Grannies and Ham and Beans restaurants.   Ingredients: 1 chuck roast 3 carrots 2 celery stalks 6 garlic cloves 1 onion 1+ cup beef broth 2 teaspoons Worchestershire sauce 2 tablespoons tomato paste Olive oil drizzle salt and pepper dried parsley (there was supposed to be dried thyme and rosemary, but I didn't have those) Directions: Place roast in the crockpot and season well with salt and pepper Add the beef broth, worchestershire, and tomato paste and try to stir them up. Place diced carrots, diced celery, rough chopped onion, and garlic cloves on top.   Drizzle olive oil over the top. Add dried parsley. Stir everything together. Cook on high for about 6 hours and then switch to low. You should be able to chop beef up with a spoon when it's ready.  No knives needed! We served over mashed potatoes.  You could cook small potatoes or cubed potat

Butter Chicken

  Ingredients: 1 jar butter chicken simmer sauce half sliced onion 1 cooked chicken breasts.   Marinade of your choice.  I use mojo  Seasonings Jasmine rice Broccoli Mini naan bread Marinate chicken in a plastic bag with mojo sauce and seasonings.  I used salt, pepper, chili flake, and garlic powder. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sautee onion. Bake chicken until 165.  40 minutes or less depending on how thick Cut chicken into bite sized pieces. Stir onion and chicken into simmer sauce until everything is warmed up together. Steam broccoli Bring rice to a boil and then cover until done. Add naan on the side to soak up sauce This sauce wasn't spicy and maybe needed a flavor boost.  We are going to try the Tikka simmer sauce next.
